according to the swedish blog Bjooti, these are to be released in August. July 31st in the states, wouldn't surprise me at all!
At first, I only wanted Grand Entrance and Bold&Brazen, but now also Smoke&Diamonds and Go look like must-haves! Oh, all that bronze and copper are so pretty to wear at autumn!Shine along with the autumn leaves!

OMG OMG.
Lotusland, Sunset B., Smoke and Diamonds, and Top Hat... ARE SO PRETTY!
And they're the ones I want.

Yaaaaaay. I can't wait!

Re: MAC Starflash collection discussion

Right now I want:

-mink & sable
-Sunset B.
-Star by night *maybe*
-talent pool *maybe*
-go *maybe*

Some of the other ones are pretty but seem dupeable. Kimby's swatch of Glamour Check! reminded me of antiqued e/s. And her swatch of top hat reminds me of ud ransom deluxe e/s.

Re: MAC Starflash collection discussion

So far Glamour Check and Top Hat are the standouts for me. They look so pretty in the pot, I cannot wait to see the swatches.

Re: MAC Starflash collection discussion

Just saw the swatches that jenntoz posted...Lotusland is sooo much prettier than i anticipated!...Im definitely getting that one for sure!....Umm bold and brazen doesnt look that special to me...it looks a lot like amber lights?....not unique enough to warrant buying it...

Re: MAC Starflash collection discussion

Just got some swatches up of lotusland and bold & brazen in the swatch thread.

^^^I am so stupid, I was looking for colors to compare B&B and totally didn't think about Amber Lights, lol (cause my makeup is totally unorganized!!!) I'll look now & tell you how similar they are.

Re: MAC Starflash collection discussion

Thanx Jenntoz and Tinkerbelle for the pics!The texture looks so amazing and pretty-I think these shadows look perfect.So far I will be getting:Sunset B,Lotusland,Top Hat,Talent Pool,Mink n Sable,Smoke n Daimonds,Dreammaker and Glamour Check.

Re: MAC Starflash collection discussion

Ok, Found my Amber Lights & I forgot how it is an exact dupe(basically) for Cosmic, So I'm not going to bother taking another pic. But I'd say they are all pretty similar ...since I have them all on my arm for a few minutes, they have basically all turned into the same color

Re: MAC Starflash collection discussion

^^^ Yea I have both Cosmic and Amber Lights!...So I can safely scratch Bold and brazen off my list...Thanks!!

Re: MAC Starflash collection discussion

Thanks for the swatches Jen! IYO, are they a different finish than the regular frosts? There were rumors of a new finish, and I am just curious if these are something different than the normal frost finish shadows. I really like the looks of Lotusland

Its kind of weird cause they feel different from each other. B&B feels like a veluxe pearl & Lotusland feels more like a frost. B&B goes on so easy with one swipe & looks exactly like it does in the pot. Lotusland needs 2 or 3 swipes to duplicate the intensity it has in the pot(still gorgeous & NOT hard to work with & Not pale!!! Its just that B&B goes on so amazing, they're just a little differnet from each other in that respect)
I'm curious to hear Debbie's thoughts cause she has all the colors.

Also, I said before that B&B & cosmic/amber lights were really similar and as I just swatched them again to check the texture, B&B is way more Rust colored that the other 2(cosmic & AL being more gold) I'll be adding those pics to the swatch thread cause for some reason this time of day they look so different than earlier. Weird.

I added those two extra pics in the swatch thread, I'll post them here too
Click to enlarge!!!

Thanks for the swatches!!!

Honestly, from the looks of the swatches, I think I will be saving my money from this collection.

Oh I hope so! I *might* be going to Kansas City in very early August so I could take all my empties and turn them into a bunch of pretty shadows!!

Re: MAC Starflash collection discussion

B&B is described as a light copper, so it should be rustier than cosmic- just the shade I've been longing for, a milder version of copperly! And it was so pretty next to Lotusland! Now I have to get that one too!

The perfect pinky violet!

Re: MAC Starflash collection discussion

Does anyone think that Smoke & Diamonds kinda looks like Clue E/s? IMO, They're both in the grey-ish family but S&D looks more metallic and taupe-ER.

Re: MAC Starflash collection discussion

I wasn't 100% sold on these but after seeing pics I might be in trouble.
