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!

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!

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 =)

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!

thanks for all the pics!

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.

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.

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

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.
