Happy to help! This is really random and will probs seem wierd, but I took a look at your Youtube channel (it's really good btw!) and I'm trying to place your accent. It sounds kinda North West-y, where I'm from, so not being sure is bugging me haha :)

Ooh, and what are you planning on getting from Semi Precious out of interest?

Hey guys!

I just felt like leaving a comment. I'm the owner of the blog with the MAC Semi-Precious Rose Quartz swatch (http://www.somethingsuperbeautiful.blogspot.com). The last few days I saw some traffic coming from Specktra.net. I couldn't believe my eyes! I always check the forum for the newest M.A.C swatches, and now my tiny Dutch blog is mentioned here! Really, I feel kinda honored ;-)

Anyway, to make this clear once and for all: the picture of the so-called "silver MSF" on my blog is actually a black and white photo of the Rose Quartz MSF! I edited it in Photoshop to make the inner circle of the MSF 'pop' more. Sorry for the misunderstanding

Thanks for clarifying the mysterious silver MSF. And of course,

I hope you will post more swatches soon.
 
thanks for the welcome :) and you are most welcome. I just hope mac are true to their word and don't put it back yet again :(. I don't think Debenhams will get it on the 30th with the past collections they were a little behind but well worth checking out regardless :). Oh fab enjoy your haul :) x

Debenhams seem to release the collections on the launch date so I think SP will be online from the 7th - hopefully they have 10% off!

I normally am really impatient and just order from MAC but if I remember correctly my Surf Baby goods that I ordered from Debenhams.com came the same day as my MAC order which I had placed about a week before! so I'd rather stick it out and get points!

Ahh that makes sense :) great that they give 10% off and points! Also means should anything sell out you've got other options, there's also selfridges but their p&p is pretty slow and pricey in my experience xx

The best thing about the Selfridges site is things tend to sell out pretty slow! But I've yet to order from there as I prefer Debenhams and there free delivery/points plus if anything sells out online you can always ring and see if they can send an item from a store :)

You can probably put up swatches even before it launches in the US. Hooray!

Oh, those swatches are making me think I don't need any of the MES, although I bet they are prettier IRL. I am starting to get worried about the glitter and highly shimmery effect of these MSF. They look lovely but I can't deal with too much shimmer or glitter ball effects. Maybe I will just focus on the MB, they rarely disappoint me. How boring am I that the Rare Find (grayish taupe color) is the only MES I am honing in on? I think if the taupe e/s has rainbow effects/duochrome that would be so cool. I don't really think any of the MES look all that unique in the swatches, although they are pretty eyecandy in the pans.

On the other hand, the brushes look tempting! Are these synthetic? They look badgerlishious to me...

That's what I thought you were trying to do. It worked! ;) It really brought all the different colours forward and made me fall in love with it! o_O

Welcome to specktra! I hope you will keep on posting here :)

I thought the MSFs are supposed to be less glittery, but more sheen. Let's hope for the best as I won't deal with glitter either.

Oh thank goodness! Me and glitter on the eyes dont mix esp in allergy season. I see that not a lot of peeps are interested in the mes but I am! I love the colors


The shadows I saw and swatched had shimmer not glitter it was very subtle!

I'm going on a weekend trip to Memphis the day this launches in stores, but there's a Macy's 10 minutes away from my hotel, so I believe I'll go there to check out everything in person. ;D
