Is Mink and Sable anything like Nighlight Pigment? TIA!

go with the starflash shadows.

lotusland is definately a pinky-purple, and so is the light purple in team violets, but i'd say the team violet one is closer to creme de violet than lotusland, which i find to be more wearable of the two.

i'd say top hat is more like fertile, a very blackened purple. i don't see any blue in it at all, but that may just be my swatch.

mink & sable isn't quite like nighlight. it falls right between sumptuous olive and saturnal, which you can see in my swatch that i posted.

hope that helps!

these have a pearl finish, kinda like the veluxe pearls.

^^^ Awesome!

Random thought: Lotusland looks like what I wanted Beautiful Iris to be... might just get this one.

Ok I know there has been a bit of discussion about the kohl power e/l but it appears that some of you hate them while others love them...I've never tried them so what is overall feeling on these? Are these anything like the pencils from Heatherette? I can't use those pencils, they are too smudgy and thick! Anyways, tia for your opinions/thoughts on these!

 

[MissCrystal]

i saw some of the eyeshadows on this website but i cant post up the link ..

I am getting 5 backups of feline. I still have my first one from SS. lol But I just love it on the waterline, it has great staying power imo and its this ultra dark black color. Loves it

 

[GoldenFairy]

Feline ROCKS!!

 

[imperfectbeauty]

it's taking all the will power i have to just skip this collection...those blues are just calling to me as well as a few of the others...i must resist!!

Question for anyone that has seen these shadows... is Sunset B at all comparable to any othe pinks in the perm. collection? I already have Rose pro pan, Da Bling and Pink Venus... I was wondering how Sunset B might compare to any of these.

I have been staring at Erine's swatches for the longest time and just can't figure out which of these that I want! Smoke & Diamonds is the only one that I can say for sure is coming home with me!

 

[wintersday]

I've been studying the swatches for these shadows...and the most recent poster's (claresauntie's) swatches of Go and Bold & Brazen seem to be switched, either that or the other posters' swatches are mixed up. Does anyone else see this? I thought Go was supposed to be the darker bronze brown while Bold & Brazen has an orangey look to it....I'm confused

its kinda along the lines of pink venus color, but with a much better finish, making it prettier imo.

i didn't look at her swatches, but yes, go is bronze and bold & brazen is orangey.

Omg!!! I got into MAC in march and I~m so broke because of it( 4 full es palettes, 1 blush palette, brushes, foundations, powders and i just discovered pigments-now I want them all). And now all those new collections. I have no idea how you can keep us with all these new things. Any advice for a beginner? My wishlist is getting way too long

I usually have a huge haul during a month with the LE collections and one small haul with items from the perm line.

How did I miss this collection? I didn't know its coming so soon! Where have I been? LOL. Anywho, I think I want 2-3 e/s so far and I'm definantly getting at least 2 Feline k/p!

FYI, if anyone is hesitant about Feline k/p (because of potential smudgeyness) but want a reallllly dark black eyeliner, definantly try Loreal HiP cream eyeliner. It is waaay darker than Blacktrack!! I swatched them side by side and it made Blacktrack look a very washed out/faded black. Give it a shot.

 

[samsgotflavor]

im still pretty new in the MAC field...

I dont have ANY browns.
What would one suggest for me? I am deff. getting glamous check but is go so similar to woodwinked that I should not get both? woodwinked was on my wish list but i dont want to get it if go is a dupe...i bet go's texture beats woodwinked!
could someone swatch?
