Quick swatches, haven't tried anything on my face yet. Took a gazillion pics, but most turned out blurry, especially the ones in natural light, so the swatches are with flash.







blurry, but you get a better idea of the sparkliness^^



Both blushes are very shimmery (keep in my mind I have a low tolerance for shimmer and glitter, so others might still like them). I have silver shimmer particles all over my arm right now... Shadewise, both are gorgeous! Especially Please Yourself. I don't do pink blushes often, but this looks perfect, reminds me a little of Lovecloud. Pigmentation is nice and buildable and the formula is super smooth, probably the best Mineralize Blush formula to date. If MAC wouldn't have been on a shimmer kick when they made these, I would be in blush heaven right now.

Perfect Topping is really pretty, it's like a pale rose gold. I am disappointed that there is little to no veining, not at all like the pics from fashion week we have seen, but I still like it. It will feel right at home joining my Beigescapade family.

Oh, and since this is the first time I'm seeing the new packaging in real life: yup, hate it.

Thanks so much for this! Like most I am definitely skipping the blushes now. I'm also still on the fence about PT and Lightscapade. I saw the new packaging a few months ago and I hate it as well. It works for the MSFN because it doesn't have the ridiculous looking window but ugh. I may just pick up Lightscapade in the old packaging if it sticks around at my CCO.

Still thinking about the nail polishes, TTE l/s and the mint gloss, although I kinda lost interest in the latter two. Taupe pencil loooks great, but I rarely wear any kind of liner anymore, so not sure I'd reach for it much. And IIRC the formula is a little hard, I think I have the black one and didn't like it that much. I wish it was an Eye Kohl.
So I might pick up the polishes when this officially releases here, depending on swatches & reviews.

The blushes are pretty, but I'm afraid of all that shimmer on my face turning into a mess. I might just pick up Lightscapade and call it a day.

Just the pencils for me
They look GOOD. for some reason I thought they were going to be lip pencils (I guess I was just reading and seeing what I wanted too) *facepalm*

I think I'll skip.
Looks like the only thing I may get it is that light brown lipstick.

I had higher hopes for the orange blush, just PT and perhaps the pink blush for me. I feel like this has been an overall underwhelming year from Mac
