MAC Lightness Of Being Collection (Dec 26, 2014)

[Naynadine]

Quick swatches, haven't tried anything on my face yet. Took a gazillion pics, but most turned out blurry, especially the ones in natural light, so the swatches are with flash.







blurry, but you get a better idea of the sparkliness^^



Both blushes are very shimmery (keep in my mind I have a low tolerance for shimmer and glitter, so others might still like them). I have silver shimmer particles all over my arm right now... Shadewise, both are gorgeous! Especially Please Yourself. I don't do pink blushes often, but this looks perfect, reminds me a little of Lovecloud. Pigmentation is nice and buildable and the formula is super smooth, probably the best Mineralize Blush formula to date. If MAC wouldn't have been on a shimmer kick when they made these, I would be in blush heaven right now.

Perfect Topping is really pretty, it's like a pale rose gold. I am disappointed that there is little to no veining, not at all like the pics from fashion week we have seen, but I still like it. It will feel right at home joining my Beigescapade family.

Oh, and since this is the first time I'm seeing the new packaging in real life: yup, hate it.

Thank you sooooooooooo much for the pics and swatches, Naynadine

I loveeeeeeeee Please Yourself

Uplifting, though....I could never pull that color off! Wayyyyy to orange for me....


Too bad that your PT does hardly have any veining

Thanks so much @Naynadine !! I'm surprised at how beautiful PT looks! In the past it was not convincing enough, but I really might have to pick it up this time around!

Thanks for the swatches!

I think the orange blush is too carrot-y for me so money saved there. The PT swatch kind of makes me want it, but... really, I probably have enough highlighters lol

Thank you Nay! The blushes are too much but I definitely like PT.

[Amoure T Jones]

It would just make me look more oily than I already am which for me is not a good look.

It does look a little carrot-y.

Probably not the most flattering shade for me either, but I still think it's very pretty.

 

[Honi]

Thanks for the swatches Nay, I'm still set on only PT. Looks so beautiful!

 

[Odelia]

Thank you sooo much for the swatches and mini review [@]Naynadine[/@]! Such a shame about the shimmer Also, I had a feeling we would see sweater pressed bland skinfinishes this time around *sigh* I agree with some of the others about the carrot-y blush. It's unique but scares me :haha: As if the shimmer didn't scare me enough! Now I'm even more worried about the eye shadows! Eep! I bet they are a shimmer fest as well. I am curious about Spiritual Life Hopefully soon we can confirm with swatches, etc. I am assuming this releases online on the 19th? Not long to go!
