MAC Strobe Collection: Reviews and Swatches

MAC Cosmetics Strobe Collection Display

The Strobe collection offers a new line of sheer tinted moisturizing lip conditioners with added bonus's, SPF 15 and UVA/UVB retailing $14.50/ea.  They are very soft, creamy and feel wonderful on your lips, and just in time for the pool and beach.  I  just want to add that these lip conditioners are extemely sheer, which was a little disappionting.  It was really hard to capture a photo swatch due to the sheerness of this product.  Honestly, they are way to sheer for my liking, espically for $14.50/ea.  I think I'm going to stick to my good ole tinted burts bee lip balm, it's just as good!

MAC Cosmetics Strobe Collection Photo Swatches

  • Kiss is a coral pink sheer color that is very faint.  This color would go great for those looking to bring out the natural pigmented colors in lips. 
  • Rays is a bronzy shimmery color that is my favorite out of the bunch.  This is a great color for those bronze beauties out there. 
  • Blossom is a nice cool very sheer pink tone.  This color would be more apprioate for those who don't have pigmented lips.
  • Current looks mauve-brownish in the tube and is the darkest color of the bunch.
  • Beam is hint of shimmer clear color.  I honestly, could hardly see the shimmer in this color.  And, on the photo swatch it is not even noticable.

    • I didn't pick up anything in this collection, just because I felt nothing appealed to me.  The colors are extremely sheer, and to honest, I rather spend $14.50 on a MAC lipstick or lipglass.  Plus, I have to save my mula for the next exciting upcoming collection heatherette.

      Love love love your blog Steph! I just recently stumbled upon it when I googled Sally's new polish line. So far since purchasing my first bottle (comander in chic) I have returned to buy 5 more bottles... Seriously has to be the best new nail polish line out there. Top colors for me are Commander in Chic, Grey by Grey, Plum Luck, Lavender Cloud and Pat on The Black. At this speed I think Ill own them all by the end of the month! :)

      I tried the "Thinking of Blue" color last night and was very impressed with the wide applicator brush. I actually like it better becuase it provides full coverage. The color is vibrant and funky. I absolutely love the shades. I think that this new line will give Opi a run for its money and I'm an avid Opi girl. However, change can be good. : )

      I used to be a strictly OPI girl but when I went shopping for a new spring shade and the selection where I went was picked over I took a chance and tried this in Shell We Dance. The application was easy with the brush reminding me of the Pro Wide style OPI uses. Also the wear is very long lasting and keeps my super thin and brittle nails from breaking and peeling. At a few dollars more than OPI per bottle...I\'m sold!

      I'm not gonna lie, right now i have over 15 different purples in my collection... i have a problem. This kind of reminds me of the Hot Topic purple! (which is in my top 3 favorite purples)
