I'm interested in this one too. I would love it, if it was a darker shade of Climate Blue. I could see this one with Royal hue shadestick underneath. Talk about uber-dramatic eye looks.

I'd say it's a deep purple. I had a hard time building up the color alone, but I tried it with Feline under it and it's uber gorgeous. It looks lighter with Painterly and darker with the black paint pot. I think I'll have to do a look using both.

Today, I did Mink & Sable with Mulch on the outer lid and Espresso along the crease. Got the idea from an MA - it's really pretty. I dabbed a bit of Golden Olive pig in the center for some added punch. So happy I decided to get it.

OMG, I can't wait to preview this entire collection... I'm really interested in basically all the eye shadows and the liners. hahaha NO CONTROL WHAT SO EVER.

I just HATE that MAC doesn't give us enough time to enjoy the previous collections. :/

is it more of a red-based purple or a blue-based purple?

enquiring minds want to know...

Wow, its been a while since I posted in a color collection thread.

I think I made a world record of only purchasing two items from this collection. (Lotusland and Sunset B.)

I have a few pinks but there is something about Sunset B that I feel I have to have it.

Thank you so much for doing this. I'm really trying to pare my list down.

Did anyone else notice the promo pic from the mac website and the pic in our preview thread look different? It looks like someone went to town with photoshop because her skin is *flawless* now. Whereas before it was a little bumpy and there's a scar/indentation on her upper lip that's no longer there in the pic on the MAC website. I thought she looked good before, but what do I know.

Is it worth getting if I have Parfait Amour?

Yeah... I looked online and didn't see any posted up. I kept on refreshing in hopes that my internet screwed up while it was loading on the mac websites, but still no face charts.

Do any of you know if they'll be posting the face charts on this collection?

I just picked up Glamour Check & Dreammaker today

The colour pay off in the store was pretty good when the make up artist swatched it
but the real test comes when I try it on myself at home alone
I'm a major make-up clutz

I am super impressed!

With the Glamour Check
Using only the thin edge of a stiff synthetic brush
I was easily able to get an intense colour clean sharp winged line on my top lid
on bare skin... no primer... with no fallout ...
and the sheen was awesome... comparable to a metallic liquid liner

I'm definitely going back for more...

 

[imperfectbeauty]

i need to stop looking at this thread...i was going to pass this collection up completely and now i WANT but do not NEED talent pool...im liking glamour check and top hat too but i have fertile sooo i'll pass on that even though it's sooooo tempting. i need to resist!!!

I'm wondering how long it will take for Feline to sell out on the web site. It is one of the few things I regretted not getting a backup of when it came out. So glad it's back.
