Thanks for the swatches! I think SB will be my MES for this collection. I almost always stick to buying one MES because I rarely use them.

Trying to finalize my MES list. I think I only want Ice, and Silver Birch is a maybe at this point. I really like Winter Pursuit, but I know I wouldn't wear a color like that much, so I'm being reasonable and will skip it.

Me too. Unfortunately, I think Ice is the only one I don't need...

I will be strong and will only get Fireside,Silver Birch and Frost at Midnight.

I am afraid that WP might be too warm for me and if Ice looks like Light Touch,I will stick to this one because
I really love the PPs.LT is very pretty!

Ice would be pretty sparkly for a face highlighter, FYI - it's the most sparkly of the MES in this collection - just micro-sparkle, not chunky or glittery.

I didn't like the light colored MMs much - they highlighted my eye texture too much. The darker ones I love though. Noir Plum is so great, I haven't really bought any other purple shadows since.

i didn't buy Cloudy Afternoon - it was a little too powdery and gave my darker eye skin a sallow cast, like most pale khaki colors do. That's why I couldn't wear Dalliance either. Meanwhile, SB is in the same family, but doesn't cause me to look sallow, and it's SO SO SO smooth and wet metallic when applied with a damp brush - like a mirror finish practically. If you wish Cloudy Afternoon could have a finish like that, or if you wished it had just a little less beige color in it, you are going to loose your mind over SB. Do I sound over-excited? Because, I am!!!!

I actually love Dalliance (although I haven't worn it as much recently, I wore it every other day for months after it launched) AND Cloudy Afternoon. So I'm thinking SB is a bit of a no-brainer for me. Luckily, I don't have a lot of items on my wish list for this collection. I already have Stereo Rose, or else I'd be elbowing people out of the way to get it. Porcelain Pink looks nice, but I believe it's extremely close to By Candlelight, which I already have.

Speaking of MM shadows, I'm wearing Unflappable today. Probably the one I've used the most, because it just goes with so many different looks!

Can anyone who has seen the collection please tell me what color the model in the promo pic is wearing on her lids? TIA

Think i'll be just getting the skin finishes. The eyeshadows does'nt reall wow me.

Moonzie, thank you so much for taking the time to write this for us. It's so helpful!!!

Thanks! I'm glad I could help. I know people have been having a really hard time making decisions about everything that's coming out with this collection.

Went to the pro store in Dallas and got: silver birch mes frost at midnight mes night trail el apres chic ls also got party parrot and pink pigeon the only thing they sold out of is firm form ls everything else is still available. decided to skip stereo rose again...i think its just too metallic

 

[sungelly87]

A living doll: the colors the model is wearing is winter pursuit and fireside in the outer corners according to my SA at Northpark Dallas

Thanks for the reviews! This is making me want Cozy Up and Apres Chic as well. oh noes. on the + side, think I am skipping both MB.

Anybody can hazzard a guess which MES the model is wearing--would it be Winter Pursuit?

You're welcome! I love being able to help y'all out. I knew I was going to want both of those lipsticks, and they didn't disappoint. Cozy Up is everything I wanted Salute from Hey Sailor to be, and it has the new matte lipstick formula that everybody has been loving at MAC lately. Its opaque, matte finish allows for some more versatility when it comes to where/how you want to wear it. Apres Chic definitely has a little bit of brown in its base, but it reads like a brighter brick red. They're both gorgeous!

I would guess that the eyeshadow she's wearing is a combination of Winter Pursuit on the lid and then Fireside (or whatever the one that's got a brown/green duochrome going on) flared out in the crease/outer eye. The model's picture is really what sold this collection me since the look is bomb.

i want to go to the mall, but im afraid this is going to come out and then sell out.

 

[Mac-Guy]

Maybe MAC is really letting us wait until Monday

yeah im not trying to go to the stores and be disappointed. I saw lots of sad and angry faces when the marilyn monroe collection came out.

i hope that's the case.

I hope not. Otherwise it's going to be a long wait.
