just got back from the mac store, yay
i got:
wintersky e/s
arctic grey e/s
apres ski e/s
icescape l/g
frozen dream l/g
overall the collection was ok, i like it. it was small, and that's good for my wallet. less products = less temptation = less money spent.
wintersky: beautiful pale icy pink color, wonderful. goes on like a dream. yay, veluxe pearl. if you are only getting one e/s from this collection, this should be it. i didn't compare it to anything in the perm. line because i was set on getting it irregardless
apres ski: lovely grayed taupe. i had no problems getting this to show up on me. but... if you don't like mattes in general you probably won't like this either. i compared it to copperplate and there was a difference in the undertones. someone already mentioned this before. i can't remember which was which, but i picked apres ski because it was the more neutral of the two [copperplate was more brown, i think] and went better with the other e/s in the collection.
artic grey: shimmery grayed silver. love it! i compared it with a few other silvers in the permanent line. electra was slightly similar but it had cool/blue undertones. so once again i choose this because it was more neutral and went better with the other e/s. the other silvers were darker than it. it does say lustre on the bottom, i was disheartened by that at 1st, but it doesn't behave like a lustre at all. even the makeup artists were making a similar comment.
mont black: very similar to black tied, though mont black has gold/multi-colored sparkles and black tied has silver sparkles. define pass! save yourself some money and get black tied in pan form if you REALLY want it.
vellum: a very blue white. if that even makes sense. that's how it showed up on me. another pass! it could be cool if your into those types of colors.
penultimate liner: i swatched it on my hand and it felt like a was running a felt-tip marker across my had. needless to say, i was freaked out. i much prefer the gel texture of the fluidlines. idk about this one... it's perm. i'll contemplate it later, if at all.
lipglasses:
snowscene very shimmery mutidimentional sheer white. pretty, but not something i would reach for. i'll take a dazzleglass over it any day. it wasn't gritty at all, so that's a plus.
naked frost the typical nude gloss mac puts out with every collection. though it did have a nice pearlescent effect, but not cool enough for me to buy it.
icescape pale pink with pearlescent shimmer, reminds me of not so innocent lipstick from fafi, love it!
frozen dream frosty pink lilac, very pretty.
glitters: i don't use glitters, but both of them were beautiful. i especially liked the
antiqued gold.
