i love seeing your look! you look great and i agree that some peopel are giving the shadows a bad rep - some are so nice!! not all are bad!Another quckie make up look done here this morning.
I used Unsurpassable but instead of swirling it together, I used 3 small brushes to use a lime green section, a mid green section, and a bluish section - though in the look you don't see the blue. I used MAC Painterly as a base, Mineral Mode as a highlight. I used the lime from the inner corner to mid lid, thren the mid green from the middle of the lid to the outer corner blending it out and upwards, then I used the blue to darken the mid green on the upper lid and the crease. It literally took me 5 minutes because the MES was so smooth and easy to blend, these would be great to take away on holiday if you need to save space, esp if you get one with lots of variety in the veining. I used Clarity to line my lower lashes, and RQ MSF as a blush.
Sorry if no one is interested in seeing these looks, I feel like I'm over posting a bit but I love how these MES work, and I don't think a lot of the blogs give them the credit they deserve - I've seen Unsurpassble described as muddy, and bland but I think you if get one with veining and work with it, it can be anything but!
I am intrigued by your response Lou...which ones did you get? which did you like? and did you think some were bad?
i definatly agree! i LOVE smoked ruby and golden gaze! i may go back to grab more (was in a hurry at the time so i only grabbed the stuff i would be really sad if i didn't get) they are so soft and great color payoff. I don't know if they were using them weird or what but i love these shadows!
I'm very luck as the veining is perfect if I want to pick up the seperate colours I've yet to play with Smoked Ruby properly though but it is very pretty when swatched I layered Geo Pink over it and love this combo - super pretty
I agree Debenhams service was annoying this time around but I have to continue buying from them for points so I can spend them on Chanel!

I don't think the quality of the brushes is less than any of the other full-size brushes from MAC. Just because something is manufactured in China doesn't mean that it is inferior quality. Today, most products are assembled in Asia and I would not worry too much about it. The quality of the bristles is comparable to the full-size versions. These four brushes cannot be compared to any of the holiday sets, which only cost a fraction of these brushes. I'm not defending MAC's choice to manufacture the brushes in China, I'm just pointing out that outsourcing is rather common.
I completely agree with you. I think the problem is that people over-rely too much on reviews of bloggers rather than attempting to form their own opinion. It is important to keep in mind your personal preferences, how you like to work with a product, what color pay-off you want, etc. For example, a lot of reviews for Surf Baby rated My Paradise's gold overlay in a negative way, but personally, I think it is the best feature of MP. So who is right? I would say both parties, but each of them has a different taste and dislikes. Same for Semi-Precious: some of us like glitter/shimmer, other simply cannot deal with any kind of glitter and/or fall-out.
Mrs B, I love the look you created with Unsurpassable! I just got my Unsurpassable today, it's very pretty too, mine has quite a lot of gold and green and a little blue in it. Was going to pick one myself, but the MAs were very unhelpful in House of Fraser in Guildford and so I just took the one I was handed. It's pretty though and I'm happy with it. Didn't get any lipsticks or glosses in the end, none of them seemed so special, but I do have 300 lipsticks already and 500 lipglosses, so it's not a bad thing really.
Oh I'm glad to hear it. Please don't overlook Unsurpassable, it can be a very unique colour and each one is so individual depending on the veining, definitely check it out when you can
This is as close up a shot i could get of 2 of the MES which i bought. Do note that I didn't use the colors wet, hence the color may not appear to the fullest intensity
Inner corner: unsurpassable and outer corner blue sheen.
