If you like the Heatherette ones, you should try Naked Lunch. It is my favorite h/l next to Era, Solar White, Ricepaper and Arena.

I have to try Blanc Type. A MA tried to sell it to me, and I saw the whiteness and just threw up, which is weird because I :see next post:

I love dazzlelight. anytime I need a white tearduct color or highlighter for my blues or cool purples, I know to reach for this. It is a wearable white for me.

^^ Ditto I like Naked Lunch and Dazzleight too

I have Nylon and we are about the same skin shade, so I think I will stick to Nylon. Thanks

No one has mentioned my favourite highlighters Vanilla + Crystal Avalanche. No love for them

But I want to try: Brule, Dazzlelight and Nylon as well

I like Vanilla, but I like Blanc Type even more. You should give it a try

Brule looks very similar to Blanc Type on my skin. Again, I prefer Blanc Type coz of the texture. Nylon is super pretty, I totally forgot about that one.

It looks like I need Naked lunch and Dazzlelight. Not too many Specktra girls are my shade so I don't really have a reference but I do love the swatches.

 

[TISH1124]

Oh I forgot about Nylon too...I do recall liking it..I haven't used that in a minute

Yeah, I have Shroom and I never use it.

I got to peek at this Tuesday.
I died.
I made an appointment with my girl and picked out my look and everything. Died. Freaking sexy, the whole thing.

I really do need to get Blanc Type - this is ridiculous.

It just suddenly dawned on me as to why I don't have all of the Matte2 eyeshadows!!!

It's the age old "Can't-Keep-Up-With-The-Limited-Editions-Each-Month" dilemma.

I just can't afford to focus on permanent items as much as I'd LOVE to with all of the LE's that we're bombarded with.

I have a modest collection of about 120 working colors of shadow - more than half of those are limited editions or discontinues!

It would be novel if MAC came out with a promoted collection called "Status Quo" that just focused on their perm stuff? Sacrificing at least one opportunity for them to sell a LE collection to us...I wouldn't be mad at that.

This of course being done after the Style Black Collection!

How exciting!! I can't wait...

Think we can get a BOGO deal on the dying part? I'm sure I'll be right there with you and I need to save some cash for more MAC hauling.

 

[Shimmer]

It's all very sexy and surprisingly wearable.

Great idea! I'm in the same sad state...need more perms, but can't pass up the LE items. It's like a never ending make-up limbo. To get the perms I'd have to pass up _____ (insert any LE item that tickles my fancy). I can't skip it...what if it's the best thing ever created and I don't get it?!?

Yeah, I have a problem. Whatever. At least it's a pretty problem.

I used Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask today and I absolutely loved it (more pictures in swatch thread: here) It actually cleans very deep and you can feel it. It gets warm after applying on wet face, its intense black color and smell is really good. I plan to buy backups

[Face2Mac]

How were the greasepaints?

 

[NadiasCouture]

I waddled myself to MAC today to buy a brush I asked the MA about this collection she didn't sound thrilled about it..I will be making my purchase a NOrdstrom instead of Macys for this collection... I am so in love I have not been this excited since MAC loves Barbie!!!

I am MAC NC50 and I love Shroom!!! I think it is a nice highlight color for medium to dark skin color
