I'm NC40 and have been on the fence about Warm Chill and now I've missed the boat because it is sold out on the MAC site. I had wanted to use my F&F.
I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I get annoyed at colors that "need a good base". I mean, shouldn't colors be good colors on their own? If Warm Chill has a base underneath and it's sheer, isn't 1/2 of what you are seeing the base really and not the actual Warm Chill?
At any rate, of course, being the MAC addict I am, I still kinda want it because of all the raves and with the LE hype, I'm afraid if I don't find it now, I'll miss out. *sigh*
So, are there any Warm Chill owners out there able to do a EOTD? I'd love to see how it actually looks on someone of color, in addition to the wonderful posts that people have been doing on their hands.
Also, I ordered Cool Heat. I had Big T and hoped that Cool Heat would be better texture, but I don't mind the Big T one too much. If Cool Heat isn't WAY better, then I think I'll just stick with Big T and swap Cool Heat or exchange it. What do you guys think?
So...I ended up with Warming Trend and Cool Heat from this collection -- but I want Warm Chill and will probably get rid of Cool Heat.
Thanks!

Wow, thanks so much for the post. I think I would like Blue Flame much better! Are there swatch comparisons anywhere?

I feel you on the shadows that do need a base. I am very annoyed with that too. Warm Chill would have been SO hot if it didn't need a base. And I've tried Warm Chill underneath Rollickin PP and all you see is the Rollickin. I am not pleased but I will work with it some more. Its still a pretty color.
In terms of Big T, the texture is not really any different than Cool Heat, which is why I passed. It still has that chalky texture, IMO.
In terms of which one to keep, I say keep Warm Chill.

I totally agree. I went to get this shadow and was sad to see that it fell short of my expectations. It looked so vibrant in the pot but looked drab on my skin. Maybe if you want it bad enough, you could pair it with Greenstroke Paint Pot or UDPP. The other colors in the collections are very vibrant and worth adding to your collection if you don't have anything similar...heck you might as well try to track down Warm Chill too because a color like this may not come back around for a while!

I haven't read through this entire thread but I currently only have Solar White and Climate Blue eyeshadows. I already have colors like Deep Truth, Parrot and Waternymph so I skipped the Blue Flame and Gulf Stream shadows.
I was sooooooooooooooooooo on the fence about the Cool Heat eyeshadow because I had heard so many different opinions on the texture. But, I went ahead and ordered it. I remember liking it when I saw it briefly in the store but once again, hearing the comments on it made me rethink it a hundred times but I decided to use the friends/family coupon and ordered it. Well, I decided to go through my makeup and came across something so very beautiful. I don't think it is sold anymore and it just may be what we all want the Cool Heat e/s to be. Do you ladies remember L'Oreal On-The-Loose shadows? They were like pigments. Well there was one called Diva Down. This thing is so gorgeous! I can't believe I just had it sitting in my stash. It's the most beautiful turquoise blue/green with shimmer. I decided to pair it with MAC Plumage and a bit of Solar White on the browbone. Gorgeous! Now I'm thinking of sending the Cool Heat back or giving it as a gift to someone who has a birthday coming up.

Well, I caved today and tracked down Warm Chill at my local Macy's! Hopefully I will be able to get it to work for me!

I think ALL WOC should own Solar White. It's so pretty. I'm in love with it. I'm NC50 btw.

I also think it would probably look great on the lids. I wore it for the first time today on the browbone. I can see how some people might not think it's all that pretty because of how it looks in the pan. But the color in the pan does not do it justice at all.

I do like Solar White, but it is the GOLDEST thing on me! Does anyone else find it extremely gold on themselves?

I bought every e/s of COOL HEAT except warming trend...
Solar white is very nice, a hint of gold, great highlighter/base color
Blue flame ISNT deep truth's EVIL TWIN! It's a very nice metallic blue color! Should look great on any girl ^^
Climate blue is chalky (i hate the texture >.<"), but if you have amazing blending skills, the color is AWSOME! very unique~ A DARK PURPLE COLOR HAS A HINT OF BLUE. (more purple than blue i'd say...)
Warm chill is a light minty green, nice texture, a great base color for greens.
Cool heat isn't much alike PARROT. I like cool heat more ^^ (cool heat has more blue than parrot! and more intensed)
Gulf stream... oh boy! LOVELY COLOR!. A neutral green, i love the color and the texutre

I got Solar White, love this! Wore it as a wash all over my lid with Saddle in the crease. It was very understated and very pretty. Not overdone at all.
I also got three Slimshines...love them thangs!
Gentle Simmer
Tropic Glow
High 90's
All nice and bright for the summer.
I am thinking of getting Gulf Stream just because of the bangin texture.

You have to get Gulf stream, so pretty. It does kind of remind me of shimmermoss but shimmermoss has gold in it however, a neutral color on the lid, gulf stream in outer lid and plumage in crease is bangin. I received compliments on it yesterday although I thought my application was crap.
Soooo, GET IT!

im so not sure whether passing up blue flame was smart or not because some people are saying it a brighter metallic blue but when i swatched it on my self it looked like deep truth...

Initially I wasn't planning to get much, since I have tons of blues. But I saw everything in person and I couldn't help myself. I got:
Solar White e/s - really loving this, looks way better on then in the pan.
Gulf Stream e/s
Warm Chill e/s
Cool Heat e/s - I did a great look with this in the crease, eyepopping on the lid & Solar White as a hilight.
Climate Blue e/s
Blue Flame e/s
Tropic Glow Slimshine
Turquatic Heat fragrance
