Looking at this image of hers I would assume it's just an overspray.

LOTS of Balloonacy swatches - pigments, lips, powders, quad
Here you go folks.
For the recoed, I am about an NW20 skintone, but there is some debate if I should be an NC instead. Still working out that.
Eyeshadow: Flash, no flash
The colors are Cloudbound (F) Up at Dawn (VP) Violet Trance (M) and Pandamonium (L). Violet Trance is VERY chalky feeling and I was having trouble getting it to stick. Granted, There is no base on it...
Pigment comparisons - flash, no flash:
Top: Pinked Mauve
Middle, l to r: Kitchmas (new formula), Helium, Lovely Lily
Bottom: Violet
Helium has more of an rosy purple duochrome look to it (I cant explain it better, sorry). It is that flaky consistency of the Kitchmas pigment and was really hard to swatch without a base. Getting it to stick was tricky. I bet if I combined kitchmas and Lovely Lily, I could get a close match to Helium.
L to R:Lovely Lily, Vis-a-Violet, Violet
there is a real red/pink overtone that does not come out in the pics for V-a-V. It is the finer consistency powder and went on easy - I like this one MUCH better than Helium for that very fact.
Lips stuff:
Going across:Full Blown
On top of that l-r:Out for Fun, Perky, Pink Meringue
Powders:
Mellow rave, Hullballoo
Ugh. You can't see the Hullabaloo on my skin AT ALL. This would be good for an all over glow or a light highlighter. NOT dark enough for a blush IMHO. Mellow Rave looks awful on my skintone.
Since people were asking about the finish on the powders, you can see where I swatched them:
Hope this helps all!

Re: MAC - Balloonacy - April 2007
NW15 skin, first outdoor in natural light no flash, then indoor no flash.
the pictures aren't as clear as i would have liked them, but:
on the QUAD: Knight Devine & Purple Shower are completely indistinguishable from their corresponding colors in the quad on my skin. Cloudbound...i dunno wtf crack they're on because i saw no pink, only yellow. Up At Dawn is very very nice tho. I wish it came seperately.
on the LIPSTICKS: Sandy B & Festivity are spot on matches on my skin. Could not find a good perm dupe for Up Note or Fun Fun tho.
on the PIGMENTS: Vis-A-Violet looks warmer from this angle, but they look almost the exact same on my skin. Helium is, if possible, chunkier than Kitchmas, which is probably why it's so hard to get a pictures of - it wouldn't stick to me!

Vin Goth on my nails (sorry about the mess). No, I don't think it's worth it. Kind of messy, doesn't dry well, and is gritty.
Hope I got that image up here correctly...

Re: MAC - Balloonacy - April 2007
here are swatches of the Pandamonium Quad, and I also swatched "lavender sky" from culturebloom as a comparison. I used "shell" CCB as a base under all swatches. As reference, I have nw 15-20 skin.
Left-right:
Lavender Sky, Up at Dawn, Cloudbound, Violet Trance, Pandamonium.
First photo is no flash, second is with flash. clickable thumbnails!

Re: MAC - Balloonacy - April 2007
Sorry it's such a mess, I didn't expect to do so many more swatches when I got home! I've tried to clearly list which swatch is which, but if you're unsure please pm me (to keep the thread tidy!) and I'll try to be clearer in the post.
** The only swatch unlabelled here is Purple X, which is between Leap and Cloudbound.
Clockwise from top left ending in middle:
Up At Dawn, Leap, Quietly, Helium, Viz-A-Violet
Not shown: Mancatcher, Satellite Dreams, Purple-X
**Leap is warmer than Up At Dawn, Mancatcher warmer than both.
top: Jeweltone (Technacolour)
bottom: Violet Trance
l-r: New Weed f/l, Mint & Olive softsparkle, Goldenair softsparkle
Clockwise from far left: Politely Pink, Up Note, 15 Minutes, Festivity, Charm Factor
Clockwise from top: Cloudbound*, Nylon, White Wheat
*picture doesn't capture duochrome of Cloudbound, which seems to be cool-white/white-gold. Almost like White Wheat but more contrasting. See babylis12's swatch (above) for the duochrome. Cloudbound is also creamier than White Wheat.
Pandamonium e/s

Does anyone have a high quality swatch of Baloonacy 'Up-Note' Lipstick?
The swatches of 'Up-Note' I have seen have varied, so I wondered if anyone would be so kind as to post a definitive swatch..before I spend all my money on yet another lipstick I probably don't need heehee
