Well the lippy isn't as purple as I was expecting, but it does look like a very nice purplish magenta. That palette... wow... I can't believe the intensity of the colours!!

.....OMG.....this palette is so pretty!!!


Especially the pink e/s is to die for

Does anybody know when violet underground Will be on macys?

Thanks for the heads up!  I really want to get some of these.  I want the green one especially.  I'm desperate for swatches though.  I noticed it's on the Bloomingdales site too.  I'm curious about that luminizer lipstick too.  Now reading some articles it sounds like there are two different finishes for this collection, vivid shine finish and cyber metallic finish.  I wonder about the difference.

Here are some swatches I did find:

Ok I'm glad I didn't get the MAC EC collection of shadows, the Violet Underground Palette is coming home one way or another with me (hope it comes to Sears!)

The fact that the Gelée Powder EyeShadow are now permanent in a few shades also makes me happy. I wanted to get Cyber Pink!

Here's a few more eye shadow swatches!

Plus swatches from a new lipstick line... Man, they've been pretty quiet most of the year but they are pulling out the stops something huge this quarter. 

By the way, has anyone tried their reformulated blushes? With what's happening at Mac and with the exchange rate, it's a toss-up which is more expensive in Canada right now...

And some swatches of the polishes:

I think everything I've seen until now looks and swatches amazing!

That sounds gorgeous!

I really hope that these will be available here too because I would love to ge a few!

It has blue and lavender and pink and gold. Or at least that is how the swatch shows on my hand. The lipsticks remind me of the Dazzle lipsticks. The Gunmetal one would be great for smoking out other colors.

I picked up Arctic Sky too- it's incredible! The base is a lovely cornflower blue with a bit of a lavender tinge, but the shimmer throughout it is really pink and golden/ champagne coloured. The feel of the products is wonderful, so I don't think you'd go wrong with any of the colours. This one is just particularly unique. The texture on the black one was gorgeous too, but I'm holding out for the palette.

FYI, for those of us in Canada, Violet Underground launches here in September and will be exclusive to The Bay.

Thank you for that. The last time I got a set I order online but it showed up at Sear 2 months later, I'd like to save the $12 and get it in person. Give me something to look forward too picking up.

Not all Macy's will get Violet Underground. Only select stores will and I don't know which ones those are. None of the Seattle ones closest to me are getting it. Chances are if your Macy's doesn't have it on counter by now, they won't get it. Try EL online when they put it up or NM or Nordies.

 

Vivid Shine collection : The lipsticks are going to be perm (yay!). The lip luminizers are LE so if you are lusting for the Gunmetal one get it while you can. The eyeshadow shades listed as cyber metallic shades will be perm but the colors listed as vivid shine ones are LE. 

Thanks for the information.  I'm hoping Bloomies gets the Violet Underground glosses.  I'm still confused as to the difference between the the shadows in the Vivid Shine collection.  Are the finishes the same?

Here's an Arctic Sky pic. I applied it damp on my lids for more intense colour and then dusted it dry up almost to the brow. Please don't mention the hair. It was super hot and I spritzed it with water just before taking the photo. I probably should have thought to look in a mirror...

Gorgeous katred!

Arctic Sky is so pretty...I really hope that we will get these eyeshadows here.I need this one and a few other shades.

Yes, I came to this thread to say that I noticed these were back at the counter when I went in today to look around.  What a pleasure to know that they are now perm!  I missed out on them when they were out previously as LE.  They are SO lovely!

I tried Arctic Sky on my hand yesterday and it looked pink on me!  I will pick this up soon along with Pop Pistachio.  I don't know what other colors I will get if any.  But these 2 were tops on my list.

Thanks for the info!  I ended up in Nordstrom's yesterday due to the nail polish sale.  I asked the EL SA why did they have the lipgloss listed as available in store when I came the first day of the sale and was told it was soldout.  She said they had come in late.  I ended up getting both of the glosses.  I just got nervous that the other stores wouldn't get it.  EL has so many new products out right now.  It was a bit overwhelming.  It was kind of like a Mac launch!

I like them.  They are little more sheer than they were in the store.  When I tried them on, the SA gave me a lip brush type applicator but the gloss itself comes with a doe foot applicator.  But they both give nice coverage.  I actually thought they might be too strong color wise but not so with the doe foot.  I guess the applicator really does affect the look of the gloss.  Do you have any of the sequin finish glosses?  They have a really strange applicator and give opaque coverage.

Heres my swatches of a few of the LE gelee shadows. The Magenta and Green are my fav  These are swatched wet.

L-R Magenta, Pop Pistachio, Electric Orchid, Ultra Marine

Thank you for the swatches singer!!!
