Just wanted to weigh in on my new items from this collection.........
-Jaunty is GORGEOUS!!!!! It is a really nice light neutral beige with just a hint of yellow/gold to it, but without any warmth...if that makes sense. I find that most of MACs perm shades that are similar are either too peachy or warm for me, but this one is just perfect! I wore it today over Morning Frost PP with Dark Dare (from ED) to add depth and it was amazing with just those 2 shadows. It reminds me a bit of Warming Trend, it is much lighter and more neutral, but has the same sort of flavor.
-Barefoot is a perfect gold in my opinion. It's a fabulous texture, a mid-tone neutral yellow gold (much less yellow than Goldmine), and seems to have an ethereal extra gold reflection as well. Like a gold with another gold duochrome if that was at all possible. I am always on the hunt for good gold shadows, and in my large stash of LE MAC I don't have another gold as good as this one. I should probably buy a back up!
-Feeling Fresh was interesting and the color was very vibrant and pigmented, but I found the shadow quite "dry". For some reason I think that a color like this needs to be moist and buttery, like a veluxe pearl, so when i swatched it I was immediately turned off. I would rather use Landscape Green pigment and then layer something frosty over the top to get the look that I wanted this shadow to have. That said, perhaps over Emerald Sea liner it would have the density and shimmer that I feel this color deserves.
-Fleet Fast was SO MUCH PRETTIER IN PERSON than all the pictures I have seen!!!!! In photos it looked kind of dirty and drab, but IRL it is beautiful "realistic" coral, and looks glowing and natural on the cheeks. SO glad I decided to buy it at the last moment, and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is on the fence! I also thought it might look just like Early Morning blush from Naturally, but it is pinker, fresher, and less shimmery...but it is similar.
I managed to walk away from everything else in this collection and I think I am OK with that, but I may go back for back ups of Jaunty and Barefoot. ( I would rather back up all of my shadows from ED instead because those puppies are AMAZING!!!!!!)
Hope that helps! If anyone wants comparison swatches of Jaunty or Barefoot or Fleet Fast next to other shadows or blushes just ask!
