Hi Rani,
similar colours:
The only colour in the Lipglass that is a little similar is She’s a Star and Instant Gold Lustreglass.
As for the Eye Shadows Creme de Miel = MOTIF,
Pollinator = PARADISCO and
Buckwheat = Mulch
HOPE THIS HELPS :) XOX

I agree with Mulch being similar to Buckwheat, although it looks slightly darker to me:)

The eye shadows look like Nylon, Gleam, and Tempting.
Christine

I’d say Pollinator is closer to Paradisco!
Sonya

I’m relatively certain I’ve seen that you have those two – how about a side by side swatch with Gleam/Pollinator/Paradisco so that we can see the differences???
Christine

I don’t own Paradisco, sorry!

I don’t think that Paradisco is a good dupe for Pollinator on myself. My skin will pick up any gold that’s in a product so Paradisco looks very gold on me unless I use the correct base. I don’t have that problem with Pollinator.
Christine
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
I wish Paradisco looked gold on me, lol!

Nylon could sub for Creme de Miel.
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I agree — the textures are different, and it isn’t as frosty, but they are very similar.
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Creme de Miel is similar to Nylon; Pollinator to Paradisco; Buckwheat to Mulch!

Everything is so pretty!

Think you’ll get it all?
Tanya
Thursday, June 11, 2009
yes yes yes my obsessive hitting of “refresh” every 30 seconds for the last few hours finally pays off :) heheheheeh
Now I need the reviews of the perfumes and other products. Hopefully I can take some time to get down to the MAC store later today, I have 70$ left on my Mothers Day gift card to spend! yippeee
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
LOL! Awww! I am so flattered, Tanya :)
What did you end up getting?
Rebecca
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Which would look better on my nw25 skin – golden nectar or honey light. Thanks.
adelinky
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I would say golden nectar. I’ve read reviews about it and they say it fits all skin tones. Or was it honey light? The lightest highlight powder : D
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I think Golden Nectar – Honey Light will probably be too orange!
Linda
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Mhhhh Creme de Miel & Buckwheat are gonna move in with me….hopefully my grandpa the apiator will buy them for me! :D
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I hope he does, Linda!

Christine,
Would Golden Nectar work well as a bronzer for lighter skin tones? I am NW15, and I am wondering whether I should get this or Refined Golden.
Thanks for the swatches! :)
Taia
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I would get golden nectar! It is so smooth, almost creamy and has a bautiful sheen when worn on the skin. I find refined golden too orange and glittery for my liking.
Taia
Thursday, June 11, 2009
bautiful? BEAUTIFUL! haha, sorry!
Penny
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I swatched golden nectar on my skin today hoping to use it as a bronzer(I don’t use mac foundation, but I have porcelain skin with no undertones) and it looked way too orange on me to look natural as a bronzer.
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
That’s really too bad, but it was definitely something I was afraid of :(
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
It might, but I think it might run a bit orange. It also has shimmer in it, so I’m not sure if you are looking for something more matte!
Gabsta
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I would love to see the Buzz liglass on. That colour looks gorgeous swatched, wonder if its so good to wear
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I swatched it earlier here – http://www.temptalia.com/mac-naked-honey-collection-sneak-peek

Tammy
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Which would look better on filipina NC40 skin?homey light or golden necear? Thanks =)
Katherine
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Thanks Taia! I think I will go with Golden Nectar — the honeycomb pattern is definitely a plus, too!
jenny
Thursday, June 11, 2009
pollinator looks quite pretty
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
It is! :)
Mikki
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Creme de Miel e/s and Buckwheat e/s <333333
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Are you getting ‘em, Mikki?!
Brenda
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I’m wondering how similar Queen Bee would be to HK Nice to be Nice?
Tami
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Hi Brenda,
IMO Nice to Be Nice is more orange and transparent while Queen Bee is a little bit more on the pinkish side.
Hope this helps you:-)
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Totally different! Nice To Be Nice has a lot more shimmer/glitter, and it is sooo sheer in comparison to Queen Bee.
Cathy
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Christine-
I am stumped on what hightlight powder to get out of the 2…both are gorgeous….I am a C3….so pretty pale…lol
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Golden Nectar would be the best, I think!
Yaya
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I’m possibly might be grabbing Buckwheat (but I think I might get the solar bits from SW instead) and definitely at least trying Buzz l/g
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Buzz is pretty! I think you will like it!
Cathy
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Christine-
Which highlighting powder would you recommend for me? I am a C3 in the foundation shades with dark brown hair. Im pretty fair skinned.
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I’d say Golden Nectar out of the two!

Lipgloss swatches seem nice thanks. Would it be possible to see them on your actual lips? For some reason, when I see lip products on your actual lips…it’s more…what’s the word….coveting??
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Yes, I’ll be posting them soon, thanks!

Queen Bee looks really orangey, I didn’t expect that at all. Actually, I was so impatient for this collection but now … I just don’t know. Nothing looks as good anymore. Well, I still have a month to decide if I want it or not LOL sometimes it’s good that we have to wait an extra month for the collections.
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
It’s surprisingly orange-y, though more like a soft orange than a neon or anything!
Jaime
Friday, June 12, 2009
Would the Golden Nectar Hi-light powder make a good sheer bronzer for a cool-toned girl? I’m fair/med. skin toned, and have med.brown hair. Thanks! :)
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I think it would be OK, but it’s not my first pick for a bronzer.
Jaime
Tuesday, June 16, 2009
Thank you!
Christine

No prob, Jaime!

hi there how does creme royal (vp) colour 4m the hello kitty quad compare to the Creme de Miel ??x
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Similar in color, but the texture is different! I’d say Creme de Miel might have a little more yellow.
MC
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Does MAC have any permanent line lip glosses (of any variety) comparable to “She’s a Star”?
Thankssss
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Maybe Instant Gold, though it’s a bit browner in the shimmer.
Allie
Sunday, June 14, 2009
Ooh Pollinator is so pretty. I love them all actually <3
Christine
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
What will you be getting, Allie?
Allie
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
I’m thinking all three eyeshadows and one of the highlight powders. Have to wait until it hits the UK though. =)
Christine
Monday, June 29, 2009
It’ll be in the UK soon enough!

How does Buckwheat compare to Tempting? Is there anywhere I can see comparison swatches? I don’t know which I should get with my f&f purchase
Christine
Monday, June 29, 2009
Tempting is much cooler-toned. Tempting seems like it has silver flecks, whereas Buckwheat is warmer and has gold flecks.

HI everyone!

:)
Christine
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
Nope, She’s a Star has a lot more yellow-gold to it!
