Queen Bee Lipglass
As promised, here are lip swatches of MAC’s Naked Honey lipglasses! 
She’s A Star Lipglass
Buzz Lipglass
Is Queen Bee limited edition? It didn't have the triangle next to it on the MAC website and I thought I read somewhere here that it's a regular shade. But now it says it's sold out on the mac website (pro version)...
It should be LE, though, as far as I know!
See, my natural lip color is buzz without the shimmer. I have the WORST pigmented lips. Terr-i-ble. And im a NC40. So I really don't think any of them would show up as pretty on me..she's a star and queen bee will show up the same as regular flecks of gold and buzz will make my lips look overly red :(. Oh well:(
Aww :(
don't even be sad about your lip colour! i wish i had red lips. its my favourite type of lip colour! lol
Queen Bee and Buzz look like must haves. QB reminds me of Love Nectar.
I think some were saying that Queen Bee looks like Love Nectar on their lips!
These lipglasses look awful! O_o Sorry to be the only one that doesn't actually like them at all. :/ But they look so transparent and not so nice on lips. :|
Sorry you don't like them!
Thanks for those swatches! I love queen bee, it's my favorite.
No prob, Chiara :)
unfortunately, none of these colors were wearable on me (fair - rosy). they are pretty though!
Aww! That's too bad, Meagan!
After comparing Christine's lipswatches from Style Warriors and Naked Honey, it looks like She's a Star is a Gold Rebel with maybe a tad more sparkle. Or perhaps a cross between Gold Rebel and Liberated. End result? I definitely feel that since I have Gold Rebel and Liberated from Style Warriors, I really don't need She's a Star. Here's the link to her Style Warrior's lip swatches. http://www.temptalia.com/mac-style-warrior-lip-swatches Is anyone else getting both? Or skipping out on She's a Star?
She's A Star isn't really a mandatory shade, just because it is sheer and only adds pale gold shimmer.
Queen Bee is too orangey, but the other two are pretty. :) Question: Does anyone know how She's a star compares to Liberated from Style Warrior? I'm thinking one yellow gloss is enough for one person. :) Thanks.
It's not really so yellow - She's A Star is more beigey-pale-gold. I wouldn't put the two in the same category!
Is Buzz similar to Tangerine Dream at all? Christine, Would it possible for you to do the face swatch for the highlight powders please (preferrably without the overspray)??
Tangerine Dream is prettier, ha. It doesn't have the same bronzy/coppery feeling as Buzz. I've used Honey Light in a past look actually!
Thank you!! I just looked though 18 pages and couldn't find your look with Honey Light haha.
Thanks Christine. Obviously I suck at searching :D
I have the upper hand - I wrote all the posts, LOL! I know exactly what to look for ;P
Now I want the three of them :p darn you and your fabulous lips !! Seeing swatches on your lips always makes me want to buy the products
LOL! Aww, sorry :P
queen b looks gorgeous
Definitely true!
I just bought BUZZ l/g ;) its a very pretty bronzey color :)
Yayy! Glad you got it, Christine!
ooooow, pretty!
Thanks, Livia!
Buzz is my favorite (doesn't look like Pink Grapefruit on me, though...I think my lips are too pink/red, and PG kinda disappeared on my lips). It really shows up and is just gorgeous. Thanks for the swatches!
No problem, Elle! Glad it works for ya!
hmmmm, now that i think of it, queen bee would look too orange-y on me. i think i'm going with SHE'S A STAR!!!! :D
Pretty choice, Maggie!
Thank you so much! I have been trying to find lip swatches for these forever! You're the best :) I wanted She's A Star but I may want Queen Bee too...cant decide! Its unique, at least in my collection it will be lol. & I love that colour
No problem, Teresa! Happy to help when I can!
They look so beautiful on your lips Christine :D loved the she's a star.. Is there any similar that is part of the permanent line?
Thanks, Ines! :) Instant Gold would be my first guess for a dupe.
I think Queen Bee is just a tad too orangey to be flattering. But She's a Star sure looks pretty and no doubt would flatter any warmer skin tone - I think it looks like an ideal summer gloss with the subtle gold :D This collection was definitely aimed at people with warmer skin than me though lol! Come on cool toned collection!
I think with the right look, it could be, and certainly layered over a lipstick ;)
What sort of skin tone might She's a Star look best with? I have olive skin and usually light pinks are NOT flattering but She's a Star is so pretty!
She's A Star isn't pink at all, so I think you could work it!
Buzz is pretty. I had it put on me yesterday. I must admit though it took a little getting used too on my part because I thought it was a little too orangey-bronzeish for me but then the more I looked at everything she put on me together eyes, lips..it was a pretty combo.
Did you end up picking it up or passing, Bettina?
Thanks Christine! I was wondering if anyone know if She's a Star is similar to Elaborate that came out wiht Moonbathe? I am actually loving this small Honey collection!
Hmm, I don't think so. I think it's a little more golden!
Thanx Christine, I just talk to my MAC lady and she told me they are very similar. However She's a star has a bit more "glitter" to it and is more neutral. I skipped it after all, since I have Elaborate.
Sure thing, Hanna!
all three look very pretty on you!! i can't wait till these come out in the uk! do you have a fave?
