Silver Birch :drools:

 

[Jenrbelt]

Wish I would have swatched Frost at Midnight when I was at the store, but for some reason I passed over it. Now I can't stop thinking about it! Aghh! Anyone have a swatch to share? TIA!

I'm working on my swatches sorry lighting is terrible in my house and I'm being a lazy fart not
driving to get new light bulbs lol

Hehe

Yes, it looks very pretty! Great swatches. I can see the duochrome in Fireside, I think I'll skip that one though, I have Club and Blue Brown p/g and don't really use them.

I came across a review/swatches by the Muse on Silver Birch and Ice -

Thanks for the swatches! I think Alpine Bronze would look really pretty as a highlight.

 

[Jennifae]

Thanks for the swatches, Jenrbelt!

I think I might get Fireside and Winter Pursuit (or Frost at Midnight) if they're still available by Friday.

This pretty much sums up how I feel about the AC MES

 

[BuickMackane]

Awesome swatches Jenrbelt. Thank you!

Silver Birch and Hot Chocolate are ACE!

I am getting skippers remorse for skipping Haute Altitude I think...can anyone compare to Approaching Storm?

 

[strudel07]

I haven't posted in awhile, but wanted to share some swatches! I braved the blizzard to get my goodies! And I promise that my arms are not that hairy in real life! My haul...

Photo one: Stereo Rose, Alpine Bronze Photo two & three: Hot Chocolate ls, Winter Pursuit, Fireside, Silver Birch (closest to my wrist)

Oh wow, Fireside looks nothing like this on me. It's purple brown with micro glitter and its so pretty!!! Looks nothing like Blue Brown or Club on me so I have to grab it. Après Chic looked on the sheer side with a little but of orange in it. It's not really a statement red for those wondering.

I love purple brown! Wish mine looked like that! I might try to scope out another one later this week. I am okay with the cinnamon color of mine though...My hair is auburn so it might be interesting...

 

[0missjones]

ooh what does it look like on you?

Oooh, would you mind posting a lip swatch? I would love to see how this looks on a deeper skin tone. I don't know when mine will be here- I ordered on Tuesday night, but I haven't yet received my shipping confirmation. 

I love nude lips and I loved it cuz it wasn't pasty or peachy looking. It's a really natural color on my lips that are already pigmented. I want to also play with some glosses over top of it

The MAC store and Macy's at San Juan have the collection up in display. I went home with Haute Altitude and Frost at Midnight. I think liba mentioned that Hot Chocolate looked like cocoa powder or something like that, and it did! XD It's definitely the special one on the collection, but I didn't buy it because it looked a bit odd on me. It did look more plum on me, not brown. Cozy Up is a nice peachy nude. I didn't try Apres Chic because I already have too much reds. Warm Companion looked way different than the picture on instagram that had the lipstick swatches. It was very shimmery (the pearly pigments?) and smooth, but I wasn't impressed with it except for the smoothness. Haute Altitude is a nice everyday pink, which was something that I was looking for in a while. The MES were great in texture! The only one that I was interested was Frost at Midnight, but the rest are alright even though they're not the kind of colors that I go for. I skipped the MSF even though they're good. I didn't notice the metallic colors on either Stereo Rose and Porcelain Pink. The only reason I skipped them is because they're a product that I rarely use. I didn't test the eyeliners, so I can't say how they were.

....and the Mineralize Lip balms

Silver Birch is gorgeous on you Jenrbelt!!

I am seriously resisting Hot Chocolate. Stll need to see more swatches on darker skin tones

 

[CartoonChic]

I swatched the MES and lipticks this morning. Sorry, no pics. My camera phone won't show the colors properly with the mall lighting. I had to wipe the swatches off before leaving because they would get messed up while trying to keep myself warm. It was snowing.

The MES are all beautiful. I left with only Winter Pursuit and Frost at Midnight, but will go back for the other MESs later. Hot Chocolate does look like a more plum Glamourdaze in person. Apres Chic seems more like a red coral color to me. I wish I still had the swatches to compare to other lipsticks. I won't have my Apres Chic lipsticks until Friday.

Après Chic looked on the sheer side with a little but of orange in it. It's not really a statement red for those wondering.

Fireside looks purple brown on me too. The MES swatch differently on me from how they look in the pan. Frost at Midnight looks like a taupe grey purple and Winter Pursuit looks like a golden peach.
