Hello fellow specktra ladies and gents! So, I was able to preview is collection and I have to say that all in all, it was an "okay" collection. My local MAC store is releasing it on Oct. 9 so I guess that's good... I have enough time to go through brush cleansers like it's no tomorrow. hahahahaha
I did not grab any of the four eye shadows. Yep, four shadows no paint pot this time.
Why? All of them were too light, way too light! The MA actually had to pack on the color just to swatch it on my hand. If you were to ask me, Lilac Touch is the one to get from this collection. It is such a pretty purple, I may B2M that one. Mineral did not show up when I swatched it at all. I don't even know how many times I tried to swatch the damn thing, it just wouldn't show, I'm an NC35/40 btw. Lastly, Soft Flower is a gorgeous pink/salmony color but you would still need to pack on the color. I may B2M this one also.
hahaha
I tried the lip stain and hated it... I might as well eat a red popsicle, enjoy it, and fill the need of my sweet tooth. hahaha
Crushed Bougainvillea CCB is SUCH a pretty color! It looks amazing on the cheeks and would be great with the Suite Array shadow in Rose Suites. Fresh Morning is great also, it's a very pale almost cream in color CCB. I think if you have any sort of muted pink p/p (Painterly is a good one) or CCB you can pass on this.
Pure Rose is a nice pinkish color but I didn't like it on me personally. I felt that it washed out my face. Think Fleshpot/Myth ls. Freckletone is so pretty but I passed on this since it's perm.
Pastel Emotion is cute, pink, and sheer. Overall it's a great everyday gloss color, it didn't wash me out, it just gave my lips a nice sheen to it.
that's all I remember as of now. hope this helps you all!
