Yes! Very well. That's why I got it, the swatch sealed the deal.

So carbonize is more black then brown?

That pink CCB looks beautiful!!! The swatch does not look frosty at all - they never are. And very cool, I love Root CCB so much that I'll Take Root
Maybe not frosty...hmm...shimmer might be a better word...I still have some of the shimmeriness left on my arm from it. Yeah...I guess it is shimmer/micro glitter because I still see the particles and I rubbed it quite a few times with the mac wipe.
And I'm think root or take root will look absolutely yummy under carbonized....On my skin I'm already thinking carbonized on the lid blended out with outre. Or satin taupe in the inner third blending in to carbonized on the lid and outre or any soft brown in the crease....damn, i wish I could have brought them home with me. I'm freaking out now.

I saw no black...just a darker brown...hershey chocolate brown, you know like if you melt it it's that pretty brown color. Something like that.

Carbonized sounds right up my alley.

I hope the new fluidlines hold up to the prem. ones formula-wise. I really want Dark Envy for my waterline and Dark Deversion (I think this name is wrong) too!

I was rubbing and rubbing the avenue one with a mac wipe but it was still there. It took quite a while to get it off.

if it's possible I'd like to see swatches of:
stunner
seaside
evil eye quad
carbonized
katred
Specktra Bestie
I'm not sure if there's a brush with this set (I kinda think it has one of those spongy things), but from what I saw, these ones are far better than their regular shadows. Doesn't NYX test on animals? For some reason I thought they did...
Having looked at Karen's swatches again, I think I'm still under the spell of Prince Noir, even if I do have something very similar. It does look like it's a beautiful colour and I find those vampy shades really difficult to resist, especially in the Fall.
I'm super-curious to get a look at the Evil Eye quad, since that's really the big outstanding question in my potential haul. So far, I'm looking at:
Lady Grey quad
Runaway Red l/s
Prince Noir l/s
I'm thinking of either Secret Lover (looked really pretty in Christine's swatches, less so in Karen's) or OhOhOh depending on how sheer it is. And I'll decide about the other quad when I see it. I'm thinking it might be a pass, since I already have dark purple/ violet shades (Shadowy Lady, Jungle Moon, Vile Violet) and dark green shades (Plumage, Nars Night Porter) and I have Palace Pedigreed from Fabulous Felines last year. I can't see myself springing $45 for one shadow, so unless the darker shades have a wonderful formula, this will be a skip.
I was really excited about a lot of the products early on, but now that the collection is almost here, I find my enthusiasm has cooled. Is it possible that I've simply bought too much makeup and am getting burnt out?
Nah. In no way possible.
As Mac's first big Fall collection, this really can't compete for me with what we've seen in the past- Cult of Cherry or Fabulous Felines. Even Makeup Art Cosmetics, which wasn't a home run for me, had greater depth IMO.
Aw man, I sound like the grumpy old makeup lady. I need to get enthusiastic again...

I'll just try and go today after work to get you the swatches...Hopefully the artists there won't think I'm crazy since I'm going back, lol. I'll probably buy something to play it off.stunner seaside

Once you've collected a lot, it's harder to get excited as "you've been there and seen it all." Nothing to worry, but keep your eyes open for other brands.I'm not sure if there's a brush with this set (I kinda think it has one of those spongy things), but from what I saw, these ones are far better than their regular shadows.
