Naked Honey Skin Salve
Sneak Peek: MAC Cosmetics’ Naked Honey Collection
MAC’s Naked Honey Collection is just around the corner, and here’s yet another peek at what’s to come. (We already did a nice sneak peek of Honey Light High-Light Powder, Pollinator & Creme de Miel Eyeshadows, too!) Today, we’re unveiling Buzz lipglass ($14.00), Naked Honey Skin Salve ($18.50), and Golden Nectar High-Light Powder ($24.50).
Thoughts
- Buzz lipglass is a semi-sheer coppery-red-brown with golden shimmer. It gives nice color to lips without being too red or bold.
- Golden Nectar high-light powder is a semi-sheer, silky peachy-tan powder. While it looks awfully shimmery from the get-go, beware that it is merely an overspray. The product beneath the shimmery overspray is still very nice, as it is a smooth, silky powder with very subtle shimmer/sheen. You could almost think of it as more of a bronzer than anything else.
- Naked Honey Skin Salve is a floral-honey scented clear salve/balm. The pot you get is a bit on the small side, though it contains 1.41 oz (or 40 grams). Relative to other salves, like Rosebud ($6 for 0.8 oz. or $12 for just about as much as MAC’s), which is probably one of the cheaper salves that I can think of. Since it is MAC, the price isn’t quite as skewed high as I originally thought. It’s very emollient and sinks into skin quickly without leaving behind any greasiness. I definitely lean towards using this more as a lip balm than anything else, but that’s more of a personal preference. I keep mine on my night stand for a quick balm before bedtime.
See photos and swatches!

Can’t wait for the salve… I tried it on my cuticles (which are ALWAYS dry, no matter what) and it worked like a charm :D
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Nice! I am glad it is rockin’ for your cuticles, Stacey. Will have to try that!

Monique
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Does the salve have a glossy appearance at all?
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
On lips, yes – but on the skin it dries down.
Elle
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
God, now I’m afraid of what I’ll turn into if I fall in love with this collection. That is a gorgeous color on you…and since you’re also my skintone I know how it’s gonna look on me!
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Oh no! I hope you can resist, Elle ;)
Jennifer
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
is buzz similar to ornamental lip glass?
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
A little lighter, I think – maybe more coral?
Yaya
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
I love buzz! I will probably be getting that even though I don’t like the stickiness of MAC glosses.
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Oh, wow! Must be a hot color then :D
Leah
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Sigh if only I had your coloring Christine, every color lippie is soooo gorgeous on you.
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Aww!
aMy
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
buzz lipgloss reminds me of ornamental.
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
It’s kind of like it, but it’s brighter/not quite as dark/brown.
Tee
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
I LOVE this collection! I can’t wait to buy most of it, lol. Thanks as always for posting!
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
No prob, Tee!
Natalia
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
I am so in love with this collection but I’m mostly getting all of the shadows and the higlights, maybe 1 or 2 of the lipglass. Buzz looks amazing on you but and the glitters in it UGH, so good. But idk how it will look on me =P Cant wait =)
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Nice :) I hope you like Buzz on you, Natalia!
Rita
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Bzzzz! I love that lipglass. It is colourful and has a good payoff (my favorite). I’m gonna get all the lipglasses and eyeshadows!
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Sounds like you already have a haul in the making, Rita :P
Mikki
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
The salve looks nice :) Although I think I would only use it on my lips as well
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
It’s great as a balm!
ChristineDior
Wednesday, May 27, 2009

binnie
Wednesday, May 27, 2009

Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
It’s very emollient :)
Chiara
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
Thanks for sharing those info. I might get the skin salve and use it as a lip balm.
This is my first comment but I’ve been following your blog for a long time. I love it!
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
My pleasure, Chiara!
Happy first comment :D

I was expecting a lighter or more shimmery highlight powder…
I like the lipglass though
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Neither are very shimmery, unfortunately!
margot
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
I love everything in this collection <3 I’m definitely going for buzz lipglass :)

on the naked honey skin salve, is there an ingredient list? I am curious to know if the first couple ingredients are natural or ???
That buzz lipglass looks so pretty on you!
thanks for all the pics!
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
It’s a pretty longgg ingredient list. It’s not really a natural product – I say this because that’s not MAC’s stance on ingredients/products.
Megan
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
I was gonna hold out on this collection but I may have to check out buzz lipglass…its gorgeous
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
I hope you like it, Megan!
Ana
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
I have to get buzz l/g, and maybe the lip balm. I love using those salves on my hands to keep them moisturized. I’m not feeling that HL powder in that shade. It’s much to light for my skin tone.
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
I prefer the other shade for the high light powder – this is kind of an odd color.
Erin
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
I want it!!!
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
:)
Alma
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
The Golden Nectar High-Light Powder and the Buzz lipglass are gorge!
Brenda
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
I already know I want the all the l/g, e/s and powders…so sad i know LOL. But i will pass on the salve, as yes, they are 1/2 the price for Rosebud salve or the C.O Bigelow Rose Salve.
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Oh, wow! Looks like you’ll be getting a good bit from it, though!

I love the highlight powder! I’ll be ordering that online as soon as its available.
Christine

Fabulous, Jessica :D
Rosa
Thursday, May 28, 2009
I wonder how the buzz lipglass and powder would like on someone who wears nw45. I like the color for lipglass but scared the powder might make me look ashy
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
The powder might make you look ashy, I agree. It’s kind of an odd color.
Jessie
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Waaaaaaaaay more excited about this collection than I was about Style Warriors which totally disappointed me!
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Aww, why did it disappoint you, Jessie?
Catherine

This makeup line looks amazing!! I can’t wait until it’s launched. These colors will really illuminate all different skin types. Great line.
Ashley

You have my entire shopping list for MAC Naked Honey Collection.
Christine
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Aww! When will you pick up your haul?
Malicious Jade
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Awwww thanks Christine.
They say it’s coming to our island in July. It’s a long wait but I prefer it so as it’s really expensive. REALLY EXPENSIVE! I just picked up the Style Warrior collection; the Style Warrior Lipglass and the Luster drops and the shimmer powder to me, are my best purchases to date.
Christine
Monday, June 29, 2009
I’m glad it IS at least coming to your part of the world, Jade! It’s too bad the international prices for MAC are so high!
Malicious Jade
Monday, June 29, 2009
Yeah. Prices are high but, Ohhh well. The good thing is – I get to use products that help enhance the goddess in me and my friends.
Christine
Monday, June 29, 2009
Very true :D
