Loved Rose Quartz the best - beautiful soft slight coral rose pink. It didn't seem overly glittery or metallic to me. I also really like Crystal Pink - it was a bit more shimmery just a soft slight peach pink neutral natural glowy look. The lighting in the store was terrible, so when I walked out into brighter lighting they did seem a little bit more shimmery.

 

Gem of Rose  - which I will get 2 of - could have been a bit more strawberry pink color but it is really pretty. Almost seemed like a rosey pinker Mehr!!!

Lush Amber was pretty yellow tone beige nude - I was hoping for a more pink nude. The purple ls looks like ruby red slippers in the tube - but didn't seem too unique when I swatched it. Again it could all be the lighting.

 

The eyeshadows seemed smooth, some had a bit more small glitters but not bad. I will get Faux Gold & Smoked Ruby which is the prettiest smokey rich charcoaly browned ruby & maybe Clarity. Clarity was a bit gritty, but I like the color - I may have to swatch that one again to be sure.

 

It was so funny because the girl gave me this big MAC bag that had everything in it, so I went off to the one side to swatch everything, but I was wearing a slim-fitting black long tank dress & everybody kept coming up to me to ask me questions thinking I worked for MAC girlhaha.gif They were seriously short handed for workers today so maybe I could've helped out ;)

 

You could probably get by with just picking up 2-3 items & still be happy.

Yep, I swatched my Mehr when I got home & yeah I kinda think it is a rosier/pink Mehr!!! Uh Oh girlhaha.gif
 

 



Elegant, you're killing me again and again with Gem or Roses! Bad girl! A rosier/pink Mehr sounds like a dream! lol.gif

I was hoping to skip this collection entirely. I may have to visit my counter soon. holysheep.gif

This is a pic of me wearing Gem of Roses l/s! As I had said before, it's a very natural looking and flattering pink color. Sorry for the ugly picture, I'm in office now and I was trying to find the best lighting to capture the color as best as I can with my crappy blackberry camera. Lol.

 

P.S. my lip looks glossy because I put l/s over MAC's lip conditioner (the one in the tube).


Gem of Roses looks beautiful on you! I love your hair cut, too! Thank you for sharing! heart.gif

I want everything!!

I'm for sure getting the MSFs and blushes. I'm not sure about the MESs yet... I already have tons of eye shadow, so it's not like I *need* any of the MESs... However, they look SO pretty with all their colors swirled, and I'm a big mineralized fan, so they will probably end up in my order... LOL

I don't remember them being similar. Maybe it's because of the veining in my particular pot of PA, but The Soft Meow is much darker than my PA.

Out of curiosity, has anyone compared Musky Amethyst to Cunning from Fabulous Felines? It looked to me like they'd be similar, but I haven't actually seen any swatches to confirm if they look alike.

The fall out sounds horrible but the colour looks gorgeous... I dont really have a nice shimmery/glittery pink e/s yet.... Is there any other comments on it or recommendations for a nicer one?

Here is the rare find look. if you are curious about the products that I used they are in my blog(a link to it is in my signature)

Yeah I do, they are so pretty! :) I actually have all of them from past collections, so I kind of "needed" to get these all as well. Okay, didn't need to, but you know... :)

Great list! I'm really tempted by a few of the mes, but I have pink split and hardly ever reach for it :( I'll check them out on Thursday and see what I think then...

 

And the code works! Thanks, I WILL snag ever hip, I will!

I've also recieved a 'Thank you for your order email'

 

I've never ordered from Debenhams this early before, has anyone ever experienced a parcel despatched on the same day it was ordered?

 

I'm so bad I just ordered Summershower and Ever Hip from MAC.co.uk *sigh* just a few minutes after I thought I had convinced myself that I don't need it!
