I've decided I'm not getting Antique Gold cuz I'm not a olive green lovin' kind of girl lately even though I have 4560497 olive green colors. Mega Rich is still a no for me also since I figure its similar enough to Firespot, which I never use, and I already have Mauvement. Countdown to the first......

mega-rich isn't like firespot at all. its more muted than firespot. to me its a gorgeous autumn-y orange.

I would make sense if they were more heavily pigmented due to the way they apply. Just my 2 cents. I picked up hefty samples of Blonde's Gold, Heritage Rouge and Mega Rich when I picked up my CoC haul. ITA with everyone here - Blonde's Gold is stunning & is quite versatile. I will definitely be buying a full jar. Heritage Rouge is a stunning deep metallic wine burgundy. Its seems very similar to Sweet Chestnut in the Spiced Chocolate quad, only more pigmented. I want a full jar of it as well Mega Rich I'm not feeling too too much. Its definitely lighter than Firespot & Off the Radar... but it has an odd orange/yellow/gold/copper tinge to it that I'm not sure I like. I hear you gals raving about Antique Green too... this was on my original list but the texture of it seemed under par compared to the rest in this collection. Anyone else feel that way? I should have grabbed a sample anyway...

the texture is different than the others in this collection. but the color more than makes up for it.

I will now wait patiently for the rest to arrive at CCOs so as to not do any more damage to my pocketbook for the time being.

Hi purrty

)
I have all of the pigments since I sell samples and the texture on all of them are like that, so smooth and silky. My buyers keep asking me my favorite one's and it's so hard to decide. It changes everyday, lol. I love Museum Bronze cause it's very close to MAC's original "Brass" and this is the first color I've seen that looks like it. Thats one of my favorite things about these along with they are all pretty much different then their past "brown" colors, except for the mauvement. I love them all...even though some jars have less in them because of the texture a full jar would still be to much, I don't even keep full one's for me. The samples of these last as long as any other color, maybe longer cause of the texture not as much is needed when applying (from my personal experience).

I bought Copperbeam and Blonde's Gold over the weekend and I love them both very much.

They really are very smooth in texture compared to a lot of the other pigments that I have.

Does blondes gold compare to jardin aires much?

 

[rocking chick]

I just bought Antique Green and Vintage Gold today. I like the texture and the color payoff is so.... intense. Esp love Antique Green but it is actually MORE GREEN than I expected. I am expecting more of a teal shade. Nonetheless it is still a lovely color

I ordered samples of all these yesterday apart from Vintage Gold and Mauvement (already own Mauvement)... I couldn't resist.

I haven't swatched them next to each other yet, but I bought Blonde's Gold yesterday and I own Jardin Aires as well, and they are definitely really different. There is a lot more orange/warm tones in jardin aires, whereas Blonde's Gold is a bit more neutral and more pale. In terms of texture, Jardin Aires is significantly more course in texture and does not go on quite so smoothly. Blonde's Gold is more shimmery, and Jardin Aires is more sparkly.

I am going to probably going to pick up some more colours soon... I really want Heritage Rouge, Museum Bronze and Mauvement. I love this collection sooo much.

Someone at the post office smashed my Heritage Rouge all over the place when I got it, the box was open and pigment was everywhere.

Now I have to see if I can get another one.

Thats one of the main reason I love this collection.Like you said the texture and color payoff is fantastic. All of the colors are that way and having less in the jar doesnt really make much differance because of the texture/payoff. For me I've noticed you don't need as much when applying so it kind of equals out the weight differance even though it's still a bummer deal.

I bought Blonde's Gold and Vintage Gold only. I've worn Blonde's Gold a couple of times now and it's gorgeous. Great colour, great texture, really beautiful colour payoff. Haven't tried Vintage Gold yet, looks so lovely in the jar but I'm not sure quite what colours to to pair it with as of yet. Given it's more green that gold.

The others that caught my eye in the store were Museum Bronze and Antique Green. Didn't really care for the rest.

Raises hand! I think Heritage Rouge is way darker than Cranberry. It's close to the plum color in the Spiced Chocolate Quad though. I am LOVING Heritage Rouge so far.

This color is so beautiful. I've worn it everyday this week

It looks beautiful with dark browns or greys & grey/blue liner

i agree. it is gorgeous. however, if it was firespot in pigment form, i think i would wet myself. firespot is the most gorgeous orange EVER!

 

[panther27]

Yea Erine,Firespot is the best orange that MAC has ever made

I think.Mega rich is nothing like Firespot,ITA.In fact,there is no other color out there that comes close to it imo.

 

[MAChostage]

This makes me so happy to hear. I picked up Firespot at a CCO not too long ago and I just never wear it! I'll have to change that.

 

[nursee81]

who knows any more.

our update book says that all but two will be pro perm, but so far no pro store has confirmed this. either this means that they won't be, or it means nothing because as many people have come to find out, alot of artists at alot of different locations don't know alot of stuff.

wow, i said alot alot!
