LOL! no...

i just don't think i would use half the shades...i've kinda been trying to avoid purchases if possible since i bought so many items from the reel sexy / tres cheek / extra dim trifecta....i guess i'm holding out for hey sailor and some empty palettes when they come out.

i'd like to go through a lot of the things i have already, especially the cream/liquid items like lip glosses and lipsticks before i buy anymore. but i'm not sure it's physically possible.  i think i might need to try and just get rid of the ones i just never wear anymore in favour of the more recent stuff.

how are you liking your palette? have you had a chance to play around with all the shades?

I bought the palette, but can't seem to get up early enough to play around with it yet.

I have to be at work at 7:15am, and usually sleep through my second snooze timer until I jump up and throw on the face in a rush. lol

This weekend I will for sure!

It is truly gorgeous. I have it out on my counter and it keeps calling to me.  But I want time to play around with it, so Friday I am breakin' it in!

i know what you mean...i've been meaning to do my nails in the purple nail polish from so reel for the past two weeks, and i still haven't gotten round to it...as for makeup i end up often just doing super simple looks with the same products most days during the week...no time!

do you use the colours straight-up or as bases? how do you use smoked paprika?

I use Smoked Paprika and Delft on the lower lashline. Works like a charm.

 

I hope that MAC will release another palette in this formula. Whatever it is, I like it!

your descriptions are seriously tempting me...

but, gonna stay strong....

hopefully MAC will indeed release another one like this!

did you have the p/p delft too?

Are you using any brushes with these or applying to the lid with your CLEAN finger?  Had to emphasize "clean" since I know you like it that way!  HeeHee

I'm also curious if Delft PP was like this Delft?  Has anyone answered that question?

I don't think they are the same. I don't have the palette but my Delft is a dark teal with lots of golden shimmer.  The Delft in the palette appears to be more green with no shimmer

making the palette yet more appealing....

ya same here...

i did go to mac today and pick up the 128 however...(keeping in mind your advice on not missing LE brushes...)

the eye palette poses a slight logistical problem for me with the whole ordering over the phone...whenever i have stuff delivered to my office, it goes awry and i wait 9 times as long as i should, and having it delivered to my house causes other hassles...i suppose a pro store should have the palettes too, but it's slightly out of my way at the moment...perhaps its for the best...hopefully mac will keep doing palettes like this!!!

im assuming these palettes are also sold at the pro stores, right? not just online....

I really like this new texture. It's so easy to blend, yet it doesn't crease. I wish MAC had given the formula a name.

I don't have the 223.... probably LE right?  With regular Paint Pots, I usually use a 242 to place the color wherever I plan to use it on my lid, and then a 217 to blend.  Might just stick w that method to see if it works.

I look like this          when I think of your AH-Mazing brush collection!

this is true.  I have a love/hate relationship with this palette.  I love your swatches but hate cream shadows.  Are these working out for you in the way you'd use a fluid line eyeliner?  how about as a base with a powder e/s on top?  I can probably work around the crease factor by avoiding putting it anywhere near the crease, but they would need to dry to a matte or near matte finish for me to be able to werk them.  Enable Y/N?

Just posting my pics and 2 cents. Didn't read the previous comments, so sorry if any of this is repeated info.

These creams have the same texture as the full coverage foundation in my opinion. They are very dense, but easy to work with. They work great as liners, bases, or just cream shadows.

as far as I'm told, both this and the lip palette are only avail online. I just was in a pro store the other day and they didn't have either

  Wow!  Is Delft in the palette?  Am I right in thinking that it used to be a paint pot?  I think I need to order this now since I've been meaning to pick up Bottle Green and Indian Ink anyway.  Thanks for the lovely swatches!

Hi there, it's not the same Delft. This one is more of a forest green and much darker. Also, the texture is different than a paint pot

I want the spring ones!:(

sadly there was only a spring lip palette, however, one of the Sr artists told me the other day she thinks mac will be making them from now on for each fall and spring :))) hooray!
