I'm with you on the red set! I just bought it this morning and already I'm mourning over the fact that Casanova isn't sold individually. I think it may be my favorite l/s that MAC has come out with in a while, and I know I'm going to want back ups!
And I actually thought the Smoked palette was a bit boring. It's a nice palette to be sure, but 5 of the 6 colors are permanent (and out of those 5, I own 4) and the one that isn't doesn't look too different from other stuff in my collection. I think it's one of those items that unless you like and will use most of the shades in it and don't own them already or are attracted to the convenience of the palette, you're better off skipping it and buying the color or two you like out of it on its own. For me, it was the easiest item that came out with the holiday stuff to pass on.

So, should I get the smokey and cool eye sets? Are the lighter shades in the smokey set nice enough to buy the whole palette for? Or no not so much? |

PBI: The warm eye looks lovely with Sable Wrap and Limo being the stars of the palette. I didn't think I'd like it, but Limo is so rich and gleamy... the MA helping me said it's what she wished Beauty Marked would be - a rich, velvety blackened red without the black base that BM has. I don't own BM personally so I can't exactly compare, but the swatch I did make me love Limo more. And Sable Wrap is a browned olive with multi-coloured flecks... I don't think that's the best description, it looks much prettier than it sounds! HTH some. =P
*edit* Forgot to mention Valet, which when swatched looks really close to Courage from the Untamed Well-Plumed quad, but it's texture is much closer to Woodwinked - creamy, strong, more metallic than the sparkly-metallic Courage is. Sooo.... I think one can justify owning both (if one can afford it!).
*edit2* I gave the Cool eyes palette a chance, even though Tailormade and Patternmaker didn't work out for me, and the only shade which drew me was Formal Black. When I swatched it, tho, it looked exactly like the title eyeshadow in the Well-Plumed quad. Just in case it helps kill (or start? *lol*) a lemming!

I agree with the red set. I don't really wear that much lipstick, but boy after I tried on casanova, this is it. Sad that it's not sold individually, i can't even buy back up.

Sounds great! I don't have any of the existing shades in it (I'm still new to MAC), so I think it is a good deal.

When do the Nocturnelle and Formal Black items go away? I've only just started buying MAC stuff so I've never been around for a release like this and don't know how long I have to buy the things I might want.

The pics are very pretty and the colors look good in the pan, but I have to say that I am disapointed with this palette. The quality just doesn't seem as good as the regular shadows and I am not happy with the texture of gentle fume. I applied it to my lid and only the grey stuck, while all the pretty sparkles landed under my eye
ditto for black tied, maybe I just don't like velvets? This is just my first impression though, hopefully I'll change my mind. I do love the warm e/s palette, I am much happier with this.

At my counter, of course it's the only one we have until the next 200 miles, is already sold out of eye brush set and the kitschmas pigment. My MA told me that they sold $4000 before noon today and I was working..
