On their own, they're pretty, but weren't must-haves for me, which is why I passed on them when the collection launched. It wasn't until I swatched Zestful over the color tattoos, and then I swatched Dandizette over Blue Paradise, that it occured to me that DB would look great over BP, too. While I was at it, I thought I might as well get Extra Silver.

Yazmin, you are amazing for this!! I'm glad I have most of these so I can start playing with these combos!

Thanks. ES and DB are the two EDES that I think will stick around the longest so maybe I'll get them once I'm done with Temperature Rising, All About Orange and Tropical Taboo. If they're gone by then, no biggie.

ES is already sold out on the US website, which is a surprise because the silver EDES usually stick around the longest. Not sure if MAC took a cue from Warm Thunder and Evening Grey and decided to make less quantities of ES which could be why it's already sold out.

Could well be. MAC.nl still has all the EDES in stock. The EDES from the first collection hung around for aeons, so it's not too surprising but I'd have expected at least one of the iridescent ones to have gone by now.

Wow, that is really a surprise

I would not have expected ES to sell out!

My guess would have been that Zestful, Opalesse and Triple Impact would
sell out first.

Yazmin, do you have WT to swatch/compare to ES? I missed out on ES but I do have WT....just wondering how close they are in color. Thanks

 

[Jennifae]

Thanks for the swatches, Yazmin! I can't wait to get my hands on those new Color Tattoos so I can use them under my EDES!

I do have WT. I'll swatch both when I get home later this evening.

Wow! Thanks for all the work and all the photos, Yazmin!

It's amazing how, well..., amazing the ED e/s look over the Color Tattoos! I have quite a few of the originals CTs as well as many previous LEs. Time to haul them out and start playing with them and ED shadows. They look like they were made for each other.

Nouveau Cheap also has swatches of the new Color Tattoos over a matte black powder shadow, which are also pretty astonishing.

I'm considering DefDef or STF, but I don't know which one. With DefDef I'm not sure if I would use the darker color as highlighter or a blush. The trials of being in a no-MAC zone...

i dunno if you already decided...but i have stf and it's super nice imo....(i don't know whether it's cool or warm or whatever, but i liked it more than the other two because it wasn't overly sparkly and the most different from the edsfs from the previous releases.)

 

[MissTT]

I kind of want to get two including STF so I was gonna try to wait it out at the CCO since it's so expensive. However, since my CCO doesn't have any other ED items I may pick up STF from Nordstrom. Thanks for your feedback.

lovely Yazmin.. must get new color tattoos.

Come on in, Medgal. You know you want to. I'm sure there are some shadows (and color tattoos) with your name on it, just waiting to come home with you.

Yazmin, do you have WT to swatch/compare to ES? I missed out on ES but I do have WT....just wondering how close they are in color. Thanks

If you had any hope that they were similar enough to only need one, well...I can't help you there.

I took flash/no flash pics of the pots, but the flash pretty much glared out the swatches, so I'm only including a non-flash pic of those.

Warm Thunder / Extra Silver

I was definitely hoping they were similar. Shoot! Well, I guess it's off to the counter to see if they still have ES in stock. Thanks Yazmin!

My Pro Store still had about 8 of them as of last night, so if you can't find it, I can ask them to hold one.
