I can't be the only one who saw the creasing in the promo image, particularly the models left eye. If there's creasing in the promo image......

I saw it too!! SMH I was trying to make is seem better by saying well her eyelids are hooded, but that isn't going to work especially because I have hooded eyelids! Money saved.

Plus her collarbone scared the hell out of me!

You are too funny! I had to go back and look at the pic again. Your right! her collarbone looks strange as hell.

I think it's whatever age you no longer feel comfortable in them. I'm not as comfortable in them as I used to be (certain ones) and I never thought I'd see the day lol.
I keep seeing comments about people being too old for certain makeup......what age is suppose to be to old for frost/metallics/etc?

On a related note, I'd like to know how my 17 year-old daughter somehow managed to steal my ass when I wasn't looking. I swear mine looked like that what feels like 15 minutes ago, but then something happened!

I can tell you exactly what happened. GRAVITY!

It seems like after a certain age, I've been battling with it ever since.

Just asked hubs, no creases and it's been six hours now. (I did use a pint pot underneath)

Also, anyone worried about frost/shimmer the coral really doesn't have any.

Highly Charged and Superwatt are next on my list.

I went to St-Bruno, Quebec Mac counter in the Bay & these were there. My SA told me that these would be wide release in August & for now were only in Bay Mac stores.

I picked up Love Power (pink) & SuperWatt (taupe) for play it safe colours since I hadn't seen anything about these before then. I didn't know if these were Big Bounce 2.0 or not with the crease factor etc. & I didn't want to get stuck with a pile of duds just in case... They were $22 CDN each and are in shiny black screw top pots.

I am happy to report that I have worn these 2 shades all day for 7 hours now, through high humidity & an optometrist appointment. I have ZERO fallout, smudging, fading or creasing. They look exactly as they did when I applied them this morning to get ready. The colours are beautiful, more metallic than frost & are multi-coloured-dimensional when you see them in daylight. I wore a shadow primer but no coloured base. The texture is light on your lids and feels like there is nothing there. Fast to get ready too! 2 colours, eyeliner, good to go! I am over 40 (eek! & p.s. I love shimmer shadows!) & these did not make my eyelids look crepey or gross either.

I would compare their texture to those of the l'Oreal Infallibles. Close, but not exactly. They seem to be one of the new cream to powder hybrid kind of shadows. These are smoother, finer milled, blend better, don't fade at all & the colours are more multi-dimensional in the light, although the newer infallibles (Candy collection out now) are closer to the Armani ones with multi-colours in the pot.

My Mac SA told me they were packaged this way intentionally to maintain moisture & if you dropped the pot, you would just have to repress the shadow & voila, like new again!

If I could take a decent picture I would upload some swatches, but I'm afraid you really should see these in person to get the full effect of the colours. They really are gorgeous shadows & I will be going back for the 2 purple shades for sure!

Hope this helps someone out!

I really like that promo pic of the shadows, thankyou for posting.


First official product photo's I've seen.

I'm curious to the ones that have it in hand it their a product that feel similar to them in finish. I'm thinking these might be closer to my Yaby Pearl Paints which feel like the L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow/Armani Eyes to Kill. also do these have silicon/dimethicone as a higher ingredient in them?

Fashion Circuit and Dynamo are call my name but partly because my Yaby palette doesn't have these shades. Maybe plan a trip to the Waterloo Bay. lol

I use a lot of orange/peach/gold tone on a daily bases so Dynamo will probably get as much love as my Mega Metal Tweet Me.

Actually now that i think about it does the box/label say Made in Canada? In the past when a new product formulation was made the Canada stores would get them first if they where made here.

Oh don't worry about that...MAC never uses their products in the promo images, as weird as that is, we found that out in I think the Colour Craft collection.

Thanks for the in-depth review! I'm really excited to see the nuance in these up close and I think I'm going to hold off on more haulage from Heavenly Creatures for this collection.

Side note: I really hope we get the Candy l'oreal infallibles in the States sometime
