MAC Enchanted Eve / Magic Of The Night / Irresistibly Charming Holiday Collection (Oct 18, 2015)

[GreenEyedAllie]

Thank you for the swatches. Strutting fabulous is LOVE. I need to grab Own the Look. I love ER too. How do you feel about it?

Even though I have several purples and a lot of berries, I love it. Nothing I've swatched yet seems too close. I like how it's somewhat muted, so it's very wearable. I the pic I posted, it looks warmer. It's more purple on me. BITE Barberry might be close...I'll check tomorrow. For me, the OD hype is real...it's so buttery soft and very pretty. I only did light swatch on hand, but I can't wait to try it! I'm not gonna quote everyone, but there have been some gorgeous pics posted today ladies!

I like how you can use the lippy as a weapon if need be.

I don't want to kill my sweetie but that was funny.I am going to tell him you said that. If I have to buy it I may be forced to used it on him.

I'm not gonna quote everyone, but there have been some gorgeous pics posted today ladies!

I am loving all of the beautiful swatches too. Unfortunately, i won't get my highlighters until next Monday or Tuesday.

Y'all are gonna get tired of me Here's a better color depiction of ER. Outside as opposed to by the window

Edit: Highlighter is Oh, Darling. Blush is A Little Lusty from the MACnificent Me Collection. Here are the highlighters:

OD first impression. The formula reminds me of Bobbi Brown Bronze Glow. With my fan it was not picking up product like I wanted and was flickering metallic specks as I swiped. I guess because it isn't powder but a hybrid formula. This is my first EDSF. I then used the Real Techniques and it was better. It's definitely metallic like BG and not a shimmery smooth powder like Becca ones, for example. I'm discovering more and more that my fan brush works better with straight up powder. Anyway, nice color and still different from what I have because the rest are powder and doesn't have the same sheen. One thing I noticed when searching/comparing: Champagne Pop doesn't pop even next to my Wet n Wild. Edit: Just thinking, if the EDSF formula reminds me of BB Bronze Glow, I'm hoping SoG isn't too much like it.

^indoors Outdoors Pink lip bag swatches! Love this set! The l/s color is closer to the indoor swatch, the outdoor swatch looks so bright. Also, just a funny note, the lip glass says "Frozen Dreams" and the old one was just "Frozen Dream". Why make it plural?

Aaaaand at work. Different lighting, different effect:

ER w/NYX Prune lip pencil Edit: Highlighter is Oh, Darling. Blush is A Little Lusty from the MACnificent Me Collection.

OD & ER

Yay!

OK good news for me- I don't own anything like this lipstick! Bad news for wallets- I don't own anything like this! I'm wearing the l/s now and it brightens up my lips, but it's not a bright. It has a little edge of dustiness to it. It is most similar (in my collection) to Colour Pop Sweet-Thing, but it's not a dupe. Goodbye Kiss is cooler toned and less neutral. It is more raspberry pink than Sweet-Thing and also  way pinker than Mehr, HA, less red toned than Yield to Love, and just totally different than Ultra Darling. IDK why I even put that one in there. I compared the liner to Rosy Rim. The only other pink liner I own is MAC Magenta. I'm not a huge pink lip wearer. Hope this helps a bit!

ER pulls purple on me! It's exactly the color I wanted :yaay: :stars: ompom: ETA:Im also wearing OD today. I would say it's average. It's nice, but nothing unique or special.

Evening Rendezvous! Love it. I'm glad it's not too blue. I rarely wear Heroine because it's too blue for my skin.

[COLOR=CC99FF]Moon Is Blue and Evening Rendezvous light swatch and heavy swatch...I'm about NW 10 to 15.  Tried to take outdoor pictures but they weren't even close to accurate.[/COLOR] [COLOR=CC99FF]A pic showing the color difference between Alluring Aquatic and Magic Of The Night packaging.[/COLOR] [COLOR=CC99FF]Haven't decided what else will be gifts and what else I'm keeping, so I'll try to do more swatches when I decide.  Plus I'm waiting for other packages.[/COLOR]

Woosah! SoG is pretty! I'm not home to compare it to other colors I have but it's giving me a Gerard Cosmetics Lucy vibe...a nice highlight without being over the top for WOC. definitely a nice blush for the more fair ladies. Indoors no flash. This pic is not giving either of them justice:

NW45

Ladies Thanks for swatches. You are amazing and beautiful...

You need it! I love it looks beautiful on WoC!

 

[keridabeenfabb]

Wow just wow. Mac never sent me a shipping confirmation and my item was left at my doorstep today. I just opened my SOG and swatched it. It;s beautiful on darker skin tones similar to mine. So glad I got this before it sold out on their website. 

see I told you its my fave of the two

 

[Divinity]

This makes me want SOG

It was my first choice between it and OD. Gonna be pretty!!!

[miss0annette]

I'm really liking ER. It reminds me of my HG RRB but a little darker and redder on me. I may need to go back for a BU. I'll try to get some good pics tomorrow. Also, here's hoping my broken OD gets replaced. Will I get to keep the broken one?

 

[VioletSparkles]

I actually cringed when I saw this...I can imagine how you felt when you opened your package up and found this.

I know that when I order limited edition powder products I'm one of those "take a deep breath before you open the package in case it's broken so you don't immediately freak out" kind of people.

MAC had better make this right for you.

 

[allthingsglam]

Evening Rendezvous! Love it. I'm glad it's not too blue. I rarely wear Heroine because it's too blue for my skin.

enjoy sassy

 

[Lalalish]

I finally opened my box with ER & SOG ( Missed the OD ).... I can't wait to try this lipstick!!! It looks so beautiful & from the great pics everyone has posted...I think I can pull it off! Might get my mama one for the holidays! She LOVED the Lorde lippy I bought her!:rasta:

 

[patentg33k]

My original Superb came like this. It was exchanged. Still, there is something about these EDSF--they are fragile. My exchanged Superb is still usable but it's broken free of the net along the bottom of the pan that you can see in this picture. I've tried gluing it down, but no dice. It still likes to float around in its packaging.

As much as I love these, I have to treat them like little fragile baby birds. I've never travelled with mine (although they did survive a move with careful packing). Not something that I can throw in a makeup bag for carrying around though.

 

[Howards End]

Still wondering what the lipstick and lipglass from the copper bag looks like, I haven't seen ANY swatches yet!

Haha me too, the closest I've seen is Nordstrom has the MAC "smoosh" of The Right Note (saw it up on the Nordstrom app). The lipstick seems close to Self Aware, that Cremesheen coffee nude from Macnificent Me. Can't tell if it's lighter or darker than SA though. I will tag you if I see swatches on IG! Been searching #MACIrresistiblyCharming

 

[rockin]

Swatches of the pink lip kit on nc15

[jadiepyne]

Oh Darling really is beautiful. I can't wait to get mine. No one has said anything negative about it that I can recall.
