MAC Extra Dimension discussion - Page 4

The names sound nice, but I am skeptical of the extra dimension part.  I am still looking for the transforming particles in some lip glass formula or another.  On the other hand, after Peacocky, MAC has really upped their game with the finish of the powder e/s

My hope is they'll be similar to the EL Cyber Eyes. That's a lovely formula but the colors are so run of the mill. Even the few colors we've seen of these are much nicer.

I cant wait to see more of this collection! esp because i just recently got mac pro approved! Hopefully the msf are well pigmented! wasnt a fan of th repromote of the blonde and redhead msf from the naturally collection, they was better payoff when they came out with blonde brunette & redhead ;)

This would be great.  The reviews on the EL Cyber eyes are good, so the MAC juiced up color would be a good way to use that product.  Have anyone seen the 3D eyeshadows at Sephora?  Their product really doesn't impress me much, esp. weak pigmentation, but I am wondering if the Extra Dimension e/s will look like the Sephora products & were the Sephora copy cats?

I saw the sephora ones... I couldn't even get the compact open! So that was the end of those for me, heh. Saved me some money though.

The mufe creams don't budge. Same deal with the eyeshadow pencils from Sephora!

Yeah, I was a mark for those Sephora pencils and they were smudge city.  I subsequently veered clear of the Sephora e/s.  The design made it look like those old wave art designs from teh 80's those, and it made me want to buy it.  Wonder if these dimensional e/s will have some cool looking designs.

does anyone have the link to where i can see the product names? thanks xx

Are these the ones you are talking about? I saw them online recently but haven't been in the store to check them out. They are pretty to look at but wondered how well they would wear.

I usually don't buy Sephora brand products but was introduced to these liners by a sa who raved about them. He said he had one on and his eyes looked amazing. I thought what the hell I'll try one at $10. My daughter and I are loving them. I have the black, grey black, and black purple. My daughter loves the fancy blue. I haven't tried any of the glitter ones because I am a lady of a certain age but they are gorgeous especially the glitter khaki which I could not stop staring at my hand where I played with these. I got the glitter black for my daughter-in-law and keep forgetting to ask her how she likes it. It was so pretty swatched. I find them very easy to apply and I generally shy away from any type of liquid liner. Even with my super watery allergy eyes they do not budge, at least on me and stay until I take it off. You may want to check these out, can't beat the price.

Those are the ones!  I love the texture but just don't think they will stay put.  I can't wear the Sephora eyeliners.  The price and colors are great, but they are shmear city on me.

I hope thier like EL's cyber eyes too. As the colors arnt too unique I still bought 3 of them. I just love the formula!

what colors did you get?  I am wondering also if anyone has used both the EL Cyber eyes versus the Maybelline creamy metallic finish eyeshadows that folks are raving about on MUA.  I guess we don't know anything yet about these Extra Dimension E/s from MAC in terms of how many color choices we will be getting?  (I hope a lot, but if they are as nice as the Peacocky ones, it could send my wallet into the 5th dimension)

I hope that we get a few basic nudes, just so that people who are buying it for the formula can get a color that is wearable day to day, and then really fun ones! I want a something similar to Lucky Green in terms of the color family (one of my fav eyeshadows!!)

I reread the info and it looks like it will be ten shades.  I am betting at least 2-3 will be nudes!

I found a picture of some of the e/s--looks like a pink, a purple, a silver..

The shades look pretty! But yeah, they also remind me of the Sephora shadows.
