MAC In Extra Dimension Collection 2013 (April 2013)

[Pinkdollface]

Today I used Smokey Mauve on my lids. This was the first time I used it on the lids and wow it's gorgeous! The finish is so so pretty. It gives my lids a wet looking finish. I used Triple Impact in the crease to blend it out and Opalesse as a highlight. I also used Triple Impact underneath my eyes. For blush I used Flaming Chic and I used the darker part of Definitely Defined as a highlight. I used the 128 to apply Flaming Chic and I did it differently than normal. I used the tip of the blush like I would with a 109, so I used both the natural and synthetic side. I brushed it back and forward and it applied Flaming Chic very well. I still notice that it's less pigmented than you would expect from the pot, but I love the colour and finish. I filled my lips in with Magenta lipliner and applied Night Blooming mattene on top to finish the look. Here are some pics. I also did some close ups of the eye makeup to try to show the pretty wet effect. It doesn't show exactly how it looks, but it gives an idea. Unfortunately the pretty sheen of Opalesse on the brow bone doesn't show up at all. Also Night Blooming is less purple and more magenta in real life.

It is a more purple version of Ready to Party. I only have the EDES from Glamour Daze. I didn't get any from the first ED collection, because the colours didn't stand out to me, so I can't compare to those. Although from online swatches none of those look even close. It's also a lighter and more shimmery version of Beautiful Iris.

Thanks! I wear NC15 in Mac foundations, but can wear pinker foundations from other brands. I think I'm neutral to slightly cool, but the yellow in the light Mac foundations isn't overwelming and cancels out some redness in my cheeks, so it works. NW15 was way to dark on me, but I haven't tried NW10. I might ask for a sample of that just to see how it looks.

i picked up the eyeshadow brush this time around, and the face brush the first time it came out. i have used the eyeshadow brush yet, but i find the face brush is better than the other face brush (bronzer brush, i think the 167?) i tried at picking up and depositing colour without eating the product excessively. it works well with both the blush and the edsf. hope that helps!

Thank You this does help I may also go to the counter of the wknd to see what they say. For some reason I'm so not cheap when it comes to buying makeup,skincare,shampoo,etc. but makeup brushes I'm a bit more tight on...don't see the point in spending $35 on a brush if I can help it lol

Everything looks amazing but esp. your cheek bones in this picture. The blush looks like it was made for you. Really nice!!

Thanks to Veronika and chinablaq I ordered Zestful. The key will be to find a base that will work well for me.

Thank you It's a wonderful blush.

SKINFINISH FINGERPRINT FOLLOW UP
I picked up all 3 EDSFs at my local MAC shop. After several days of admiring them through their box windows, i remembered to inspect them for finger prints. 2 of the 3 EDSFs (Dbl Def was one) have noticeable areas that are somewhat finger-pad shaped, but no lines or whorls, so i suspect they may have been pressed into the pan by hands wearing gloves. The surface did not seem to be disturbed. But some of you got real fingerprints with lines and whorls, yuck!

BLUSHES
I also picked up Bareness and At Dusk from my local MAC. I'm a paleface and i found that Bareness gave me as much warm peachy color as i wanted when applied with a MAC 130 brush the very first time. In my experience, the 130 delivers more color than a 187 or 188 - i use my 188 for NARS and other strong blushes, MSFs, EDSFs, and highlighters when i want a light touch - which is most of the time. These ED blushes seem to have a slight sheen but they are not glittery or shimmery, very nice.

EDIT: Now that i think about it, i actually used the 128 Split Fibre Cheek Brush from this collection. Worked great.

EYESHADOWS
Yow-zah! I got four (Zestful, Opalesse, Triple Impact, and Smoky Mauve) by mail and i've used them all. Yeah, they are light colored, but boy-o-boy are they are so light-reflective, the colors are lovely, and their duo-chromishness is fantastic! (insert rainbow unicorn here) So far i've just put them on bare eyelids and they have lasted for hours, although they do fade a bit. I need to experiment with eye lid primers to see how that affects the color and reflectiveness. And i also need to test them with Maybelline Color Tattoo Too Cool to see if that makes them stand out more.
I'm very happy with my haul

Same here!
I've preordered Barness and I'm going to use the 128 brush with it.. 128 is the brush I use with "sheer" blushes because it picks a lot of product while 188 is the brush for strong blushes ^^

 

[MissBeautyBunni]

So I swatched opalesse, zestful and triple impact and I'm sold!!! Will get them at the end of the month!

I am quite annoyed with Macys. I ordered Definitely Define almost two weeks ago when they first came up on the site. They sent me Shape the Future instead of DefDef. So I emailed them and they told me they would send out DefDef. My package arrived today and I received Shape the Future AGAIN! I had to send them another email explaining that the product codes are mixed up. How could Macys go for almost 2 weeks with the product codes/descriptions mixed up?
