C-Shock

[badkittekitte]

i guess we should all ask those chosen ones who have been able to test the colors already or even fortunate to own any...besides passionate...are there any colors that are not worth buying bc they already exist....i cant wait till next week...

Going bananas is so much brighter and more pigmented than gorgeous gold. Also gg is a veluxe pearl and gb is a frost.

Lil Sizzler is more pigmented and a bit more coral. Ambient has a bit more silver sheen to it.

Blast o blue for those who want to know is pretty sheer on. Sort of looks like i froze to death, but i had to get it anyway because it was just too cool to pass up anyway. The colors are bright and beautiful. I especially love Big T and sugar shock lip gelee. Also, vivacious and overrich are awesome. PM or comment me with any questions! And heres a peek Clicky the linkys Vivacious, Blast o Blue, Overrich Sugar Shock, Lil Sizzler, Mega L-R top then bottom: Passionate, Bang on blue, Wondergrass, Big T, Romping, Eye Popping, Going Bananas, Fab & Flashy

I was there as well !

Not to my knowledge, no. It's not on the C-Shock Color Story thread, but maybe. Highly unlikely though.

This collection is looking sooooo pretty and fun! I can't wait. This swatch was posted in the swatch thread:

Looks sooo fun!

Ernie has definitely answered a lot of the questions.
Truth be told, I just got into mac in Jan and I mainly go for the limited edition stuff. I can't compare to a lot of the standard collection items. I can go more into detail about the colors themselves though.

Also, I have a c shocked fotd in the fotd forum here:

Okay, so just how similar is Eyepopping to Overgrown?
I have a partially depotted (bought it in a sale thinking it was depotted and it's not fully, and I don't de-pot) overgrown that's kind of a pain, so I'm thinking about just getting Eyepopping, especially if it's brighter and more frosty.

Hmm interesting. When I was in MAC the other day, the MA was talking about a blue mascara that was coming out with C-Shock (?) but since I hadn't heard a THING about it on LJ or Specktra I wasn't sure since both places generally are ahead of the game. I guess we'll see!

And I totally hear you on the suckiness of not having a PRO Store...I live in freaking Chicago and we don't have one!!! ARGH!!!

If there is a blue mascara coming out I'll be absolutely delighted since I LOVE colored mascara (blues, greens and metallics are my favorites). And even if MAC's mascaras are usually sucky if they'll come out with a new one, chances are I'll probably buy one.

And WHY THE BLUE HELL ISN'T THERE A PRO STORE IN CHICAGO! Dear fucking god! MAC must just throw darts at a map of the US on a wall somewhere and wherever the dart lands they'll open a Pro store in the general area of the landing spot. That's the only method I can think of because dear god-- it's fucking CHICAGO! Houston I can sort of understand because this city is hot and annoying and jackassy but Chicago? To hell with that crap!

Oh it needs to be the fourteenth already. I'm ready to spend an obscene amount of money! goddamn waiting.

Okay now wait a second. Specktra lists C-Shock's release date as the fourteenth, but that up there states it as being on the twelfth. So which is it?

Dear god I'm confused now. I guess I'll be staking out MAC's site on the twelfth now. lord.

Are you kidding me?!? Aaahhhh! Just when I thought I was done buying stuff for a while!


Anyway, I got the eyeshadows yesterday at the L.A. Pro store and LOVE them. I gotta say, though... I'm a little intimidated to use them.

 

[juicyaddict]

oh you took very nice pictures raquel. those colors are lovely

You took great photos!

​

I too went to MAC Pro (in NY) yesterday and purchased
Ø Claire de Lune
Ø Bang on Blue
Ø Fab & Flashy
Ø Wondergrass
Ø Going bananas
Ø Big T

This collection is beautiful; the colors are so bright & vivid. My favorite is Wondergrass, and no it does not look anything like Swimming. Big T does not look like Ingenue Blue, Pompous Blue, or Turquatic (I compared it to a couple of other but can’t remember their names.

I didn’t buy Eyepopping, but I compared it to Bitter; they look sim. in the pot, but they don’t look alike when you swatch them.

 

[karinaf]

I've gone from wanting nothing to wanting everything. Argh! I am trying to talk myself out of this collection, as I can't see myself doing something wild and crazy all the time like that.

Thank God these eyeshadows don't exactly turn bad, eh?

 

[Pink Xenomorph]

Oh good lord. I'm going to buy ALL of the eyeshadows now. They're gorgeous. And my mum, who's been reminding me about budgeting the whole wait for C-Shock, even wants 'em all after seeing the photos that Raquel took. Awesome.

Goddammit, the release date needs to hurry up. Those of us who lack a Pro store are impatient.

There wasn't any blue mascara with the c shock collection at the pro store in NY.

Numerous of customer complaints were coming in.

hmm i go to enough counters where i feel this is still the case

Eyepopping is a tad more yellow, but has the same amount of sheen that Overgrown has, they are both satin shadows. And here is a comparison with Eyepopping, Overgrown and Bitter.

top color ~ Overgrown, bottom ~ Eyepopping. Bitter to the left.
