Eeeek, I am NW15 and wondering the same.... I think most anything is wearable with a light hand though. It is much more pigmented than I expected. Not sure if that is good or bad at this point

I'm pretty fair, and I could wear it...the swatch I made was with a packed q-tip...so there's a bit more color.

The other one is just...blahhhhhhhh in my opinion.

Awesome pics! I am getting the 2 quads and smoke signal pigment, and ablaze blush

the description for sparks can fly lipstick doesn't specify the formulation (lustre, amp. creme etc.). Does anyone know?

That's true - I know what you mean. In fact sometimes I think I do better with more pigmented blushes used very lightly than I do with overall lighter shades. Okay, I'm excited about Ablaze again!

We just got our first shipment for this collection and Ablaze is pretty intense. I'm an NW15, and I'm going to have to use quite a light hand to wear this.

I'm really looking forward to trying Emote. It looks like it would be perfect for contouring.

Is it similar to anything else by MAC? Stereo Rose? Any other past or present blush?

I found this pic on Ebay, the seller claims it is unreleased MAC items. What do you think?

According to the seller:

1. Mineralize satinfinish foundation
2. Emote (from Smoke signals - grey brown)
3. Poison Pen (from Matte2 - deep midtone purple with grey)
4. Cloudburst (from Blue Storm - black with blue pearl)
5. Showstopper (from Smoke Signals, part of Smoking Eyes quad - muted grey)
5. Lipgelee in Mega
7. Lipgloss in Sugar

If it's like that Poison Pen looks amazing!

As far as being like a corally color, I can see how it'd be comparable to Stereo Rose, but I'd have to look at it again (and I very well will, I'm going to see my MA this weekend

)

it's a frost.

I was excited... not so much anymore. Brew is a great nude on me so I'll pick that up, but I have a full jar of original maroon pigment, and I think the new one will look too dark on me (NW20). The quads are same old, I have too many showstoppers as is.

This is good, save my money after the Flashtronic/Rushmetal rape of my wallet

OMFG!!!! Thanks...I need/want both!

 

[tadzio79]

OMG!!! I need both quads! Thanks for the pics!

 

[kuuipo1207]

Maybe it's just me, but I'm just not really excited about this collection. I dunno. Maybe I just need to see it in person.

 

[Twinkle_Twinkle]

What type of finish is Emote? If it's a frost maybe I can use it after all...
