Soooo Danse is definitely not getting my money

[masqued_dreamer]

I love this collection, but i think that's because i absolutely adore pastels. I think my favorite part of the collection was the lightscapade MSF because of the pretty swirls, haha! I think it's a good option for people that are a wee bit scared of bold colors. I have a friend who is scared of darker eyeshadows and all of that and she completely adored this collection.

I like pastels, but I like them bright. A lot of these colors look really muddy and muted to me. Boring.

I can't wait for the skinfinishes and the piggies, but the eyeshadows look kinda blah to me

I ordered Jete, Rite of Spring, Corps de Ballet, Danse and Curtsy online and they just arrived. I like everything but Rite of Spring - that one is too frosty for me. Maybe I'm boring, but I'm also pale with yellow undertones and I'm very happy with this collection.

Edited to say I decided Danse was too migrating microglittery for me, but I did also get French Grey later on and loved it!

I stopped by Nordstroms to take a look at Danse, and was disappointed as well. I haven't been happy with any of the collections lately. These are just too pale. I'M too pale. I need bright colors.

BLAH to Danse.

Considering I've got small eyes and I'm very pale, collections like Danse and Lingerie are great for me. Even the dark shades aren't "too" dark, therefore won't make my eyes disappear.

Is it really that bad? I saw an ad for it yesterday in my mall and it did look kind of dopey. Really light and and weird, like it was chalk. Oh well. MAC can't have all hits.

I like this collection for the very reason others seem to be uninterested. I like the muted, hazed out colours, they're like the colours used in the type of watercolour art I like. Jete looks so fantastic with French Grey, and I love the subtlety of Swan Lake - it's really sublime. I also bought Rite of Spring, which will make a lovely softer smokey eye with Swan Lake. I'm looking forward to playing more with this collection. It goes great with my NC25 green-eyed self.

I went to Nordies and the MAC store- I usually pass on collections after x-mas because they are ( as mentioned before) pastel inspired. I'm just going to wait for the Raquel and Barbie collections.

 

[jillianjiggs]

i like that the collection is pastels...

nocturnelle was really dark
jewelescent was bright

only natural for something light and pale to come next.

i think Danse was supposed to be a ballet based thing. IMO the colours are perfect for the ballet.

offtopic: my sister's boyfriend saw a comment i left her on MySpace about Danse being a ballet thing and she's in ballet, so he bought her Swan Lake e/s (Swan Lake is her favourite ballet) her very first MAC...i'm so proud

 

[mzreyes]

well.. the only thing i got from here was glissage msf. i really want lightscapade though.. and rite of spring e/s and standing ovation l/g is beautiful. the rest is.. eehh.. cant wait for the future collections though!

 

[gretchygretch84]

ugh I agree. I bought the two msfs because I collect them but I know they'll be chilling with porcelain pink in the pile of stuff I only use on others.

 

[Janelleleo]

I actually really liked Danse. I would agree that these colors are very useful for the times when you want a more subtle look. I'm not even big on pastels but I think these were very pretty and fit with the ballet them. I also think there alot more wearable than they look. I'm an NC45 and I really love how both Lightscapade and Glissade look on me. I wound up buying a lot more from this collection than I ever thought I would.

 

[littlemakeupboy]

I love the collection
When I was putting the display unit up at work i played with everything

lightscapade is my favorite product while its the one everyone hates,i thihk its the perfect highlight for my nc30/nw20 combo skin

Believe it or not, this line is selling well (at least at the counters I work at)...and most people I have had the pleasure (or displeasure sometimes) of helpin love the neutrals more than the brights...strange!

I got Lightscapade today. I'm not sure how I'm going to use it (since I never found a use for Shimpagne or Naked You), but it sure does look pretty

Yes, I can pass on the l/g colors and e/s because they look so close to ones I already have. Yes, I can pass on yet another quad, because the colors are kinda blah-ish.

I am getting a BN Glissade by swapping away my lightly used Petticoat! It's like recycling

 

[little teaser]

to be honest, im happy when i dont like or want anything from a collection, more money to spend else where or to save.. and i dont feel like im missing out.. although i did like the msf and a few lip glass that i got, im satisfied with it and i didnt go broke..haha

 

[pinkfeet]

I didnt think Danse would get any of my money either however,

I LOVE Corps de Ballet lipgloss, its no nonsense, goes with everything almost and its natural looking, I dont like deep colors on my lips as I think its aging on me and the light MSF ? It gives me glow -no shimmer, no glitter just glow which I have been searching for. Which really did surprise me and I might have to get a back up - which I rarely do. And of the lipglass too as this might be my everyday lipgloss at work.

Jete is also a nice , everyday e/s - I have moved onto a more natural look, I think its becase maybe I am older, over 25 and just not into outlandish looks anymore, and just about being me only better you know?

So I was pleasantly surprised, I also bought the new foaming face wash and dual phase makeup remover. The cleanser I feel is nice has a fresh scent that is not overpowering, however I feel its kinda small sized for the price compared to other cleansers I;ve used like PX and Clinique.

This discussion reminds me that there truly is something for everyone at MAC. I can't wear the Danse collection. It is too light for me for the most part however I did buy both MSFs as well as two of the l/g (Standing Ovation and the silver one whose name escapes me) as they will wear well over other things. My beautiful blonde haired blue eyed light skin daughter can wear everything in Danse and looks amazing in it though. I am anxiously awaiting Icon and we both are pretty excited about Barbie.
