It feels like there are big clumpy bits of product when you're applying it.. I now realise the reason they went with a doe foot - a brush wouldn't be able to apply it.. it's just so thick. I think I'll get more though, cause the colour really is so beautiful. Sassy Grass is a lot darker then I expected and it reminds me a lot of a vibrant Newly Minted when in the pan, but when swatched, it turns lighter.. it doesn't really remind me of grass, but more of the leaves on trees. Texture is awesome, not powdery, but not too hard either. This was the eyeshadow didn't care too much about, but now I've got it, I can see why so many like it. Going Bananas is MUCH more pigmented then Crest the Wave, and it's a bit more of a yellow then a pastel-lemony colour. The texture is awesome, and it's not as frosty as I thought it would be. I'm so looking forward to pairing this with La La eyeshadow from SCF.. Louder, Please is definitely more pigmented then Passionate and the texture is very smooth. It's a lot more red then I expected, but I think with a few corals and oranges it'll look really pretty in the crease. Just my two cents.. I know you've all probably heard it a million times by now, but I'm too excited, and I just have to share it with someone!

I found that Bold and Brash really made my green eyes POP! I was like HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh my goodness!! the glosses are bloody amazing!

i love the purple one i got and the red - so pigmented, so sparkley and just generally amazing! i need to get the other colours! hopefully next month they will still be in stock!

i am in need!!

sassy grass shadow is pretty in the pan and oh so pigmented on the skin!

i shall wear this tommorow!

going bananas is pretty - but i have always loved this colour! crazy cool does look very similar to beautiful iris but i haven't played with that yet

this collection has been awesome!

 

[Soul Unique]

I am wearing Gimme That right now!!!! In love with this colour...yet to try my Brash and Bold, because I can't get over this hot magenta goodness i'm looking at *hehe*. Gonna go to the counter this weekend and check out the shadows, I ended up passing on them online because I want to see them in person.

 

[Kirsty]

Yay today I set up swaps for Sassy Grass, Lime & Sky Blue. Now I just need to find Zingy, Going Bananas & Dare to Dare

If not I plan on buying these, but I will love them so much more if I get them for "free"

 

[Camnagem]

I am LOVING these glosses! I was so excited for them and they didn't disappoint.

I got Dare to Dare, Gimmie That!, Bold & Brash, Ban This! and So Bad...I LOVE them all! I had to go out and get back-ups of all of them (2 backups of Bold & Brash), they're really that good.

If you're a lipstuff junkie like me please at least check these out. They're really amazing and the colors are out of this world!

Please MAC, make more colors in this formula!

 

[Kirsty]

I just tried Gimme That! on for the first time, i'm still at work. I had to wipe most of it off (I didnt really put much on anyway) 'cause it is so bright! Dont want to give my boss a heart-attack

Cant wait to try Bold & Brash

 

[January]

I really like Dare to Dare... I don't really like it over my bare lips, but I'm wearing it over Lazy Day lipstick today. So pretty! I think it would be nice over any pale pinks.

I had to back up Ban This! and I rarely b/u anything! These are incredible!!!!

I picked up Sassy Grass, Lime and Zingy from this collection. They all are matte finishes.

I swatched them with my fingers, and put them on the back of my hand. And it seems that both Sassy Grass and Zingy stained the back of my hand a bit. Lime doesn't look like it stained, but that might be because I'm tan right now. To avoid that, I just use a skin-coloured shadow all over my lids before using the colours so it won't stain my skin.

Sassy Grass is a nice dark green, and I really like the colour of it. Looks like it'd be a nice crease colour with Lime, Lucky Green or Sweet and Punch (from MAC To the beach).

Lime, out of the three that I have, is probably the least pigmented. You kind of need to work at it a bit in order to get the colour you see in the pan, but it is a really gorgeous bright green.

Zingy definitely reminds me of a less-intense version of Electric Eel. If you are someone that already has Electric Eel, you could probably just skip out on this one because they both look so similar on the lids.

In conclusion, Dare to Wear is a really nice, bright and colourful collection. I can't say this for the entire collection, but from what I've seen/played with at my counter and what I purchased, this collection is perfect for the summertime!

Can I rant a little? I went to the Mac counter today and asked when this collection was launching and the MA apparently had never heard of it. She just started to talk about how there will be new things in fall coming out. I said that I thought Dare to Ware was supposed to be launched this month and she said she knows nothing about it. Could this mean we are not getting this here?!?

I don't know where have all the former MAs disappeared from the counter, there is only two new girls (the other have been there few months and the other couple of weeks), and it is seriously understaffed, they cannot handle the rush hours by the two of them (it has been crazy when the counter is busy). I miss my sweet and nice MAs I used to admire new collections with!

Hell to the yes. I was just coming here to post that I would love to see this formula in a rainbow of colors. Seriously, I would love it in green and silver and gold and black and RED red (not B&B magenta red). Sometimes I wish MAC would just push the envelope a little bit more. I understand that wacky colors won't sell as well to the public, but they should just do it anyway! Now I kinda want to write to corporate to suggest it...

I keep my fingers crossed for you - hopefully you'll get the collection!

Am I the only one who hates Gimme That? I find the colour looks really off on me just like fun n sexy from fafi did. Whoever said Gimme that and Fun n Sexy were alike was spot on.

The other colours of gloss are great though!!!

Given both your and Lou's excitement for this glosses, now I'm really excited!! Aren't they gritty?? How their texture compares to my beloved glossimers??

I'll be right there buying the wacky colors with you, Teggy!

You will love Aqua. It's stunning. Glad you like Sassy Grass. I plan on rocking it tomorrow with Going Bananas.
