Infraviolet- omg wow it looks so  in the swatches! This combined with star n rockets are a match made in heavan!

Fashion Circuit- I cant resist any green/teal that looks like that, It's stunning! I think Partylicious piggy (one of my fav piggies ever) will look amazing over it. This and the green mufe aqua cream will be an aweome combo as well!

Love Power- Anything thats close to YV I am all for! I use it a lot with no BU. And after hitting the pan on two of the peacocky shadows I've realized it is possible to run out!

 

I am not allowing myself to get more then four so I'm trying to decide between Pure Flash, Superwatt, or Coil. What would you all suggest? I'm leaning more towards PF or SW, for slap it on with some liner and go type color.

I LOVE me some purples (Highly Charged) but I think I'll get the mufe aqua cream instead.

I vote for superwatt, it is very wearable. Coil is really bronze and Pure Flash would be easy to dupe. It kind of reminded me of Aurora pigment.

I'm still waiting to see Highly Charged (my SA said it was delayed) and I might go back for Love Power.

I told myself only two, I already have three and want two more -- where will it end?!?

After seeing all the amazing swatches it's going to be hard to stick with just getting four of these! So beautiful!

LOL, yes i'm in the exact same boat. I didn't realize just how much I'd like these!

my list at this time is Love Power, Pure Flash, Superwatt, Fashoin Circuit, Coil and possibly one more.....just so I haveoptions. hah!

OMG your avatar soooo cute!!!

So much for my summer no buy... Superwatt, Dynamo, Fashion Circuit, Electroplated and Pure Flash are calling me.

Briliantlt Lit remind me of Yaby's Baby Grass shade.

Oh wow, Superwatt, Coil and the green one look amazing in those swatches. Still have to skip the whole thing unfortunately.

Thanks! I was hoping someone would post a video so we could see the color payoff in real time.

I'm limiting myself to a maximum of 3 of these for now, currently thinking I might get Pure Flash, Infra-Violet, and Superwatt (if Superwatt isn't too close to Morning Frost—I'll have to take that along when I go swatch!) and hope others pop up in CCOs later.

only superwatt for me i think :)

The sheen will look gorgeous on you. What colors are on your list?

I was able to check these out today and they are a complete pass for me. I tend to prefer more neutral colors and if you have either of the UD Naked palettes or any neutral MAC eyeshadows you can dupe the neutrals in this collection. There is a high frost/sparkle that I don't think comes across in the swatches (at least the ones I've seen). I was a little surprised to see how much sparkle was in ones I swatched.

The texture of these is nice but once it's applied to the eye, I don't think it looks any different that a powder eyeshadow. My recommendation is to check these out in person if you are interested.

I'm starting to get really excited about these, especially after seeing this vid  Such great pigmentation ..

I'm definitely getting Highly Charged, Superwatt, Coil, Fashion Circuit, and Infra-Violet.

Here it is!

are these 17.50 or 19.50? Coil, superwatt & love power will probably get the most wear but I also like the purple, the blue and the teal one. Darn they look so goooood!

If u have a Nordstrom's near u, I would give them a call & see if u can pick one up. This was not in the 'Nordies Card Holder Only' Anniversary sale section, it was just out on the counter. Now that I think of it even if u aren't near a Nordies you can call the beauty stylist line at 800-723-2889, they can locate one & order it for u & have it shipped to ur house. Great service...Free shipping & returns. Maybe the bronze color wasn't bronze, I was in such a daze over the Electric Cool shadows, I didn't fully swatch the palette with focus. If u look at the promo picture the color between the blue & pink was really pretty- that was the one I was referencing in the palette. Now I'm wondering if I didn't give it a fair shot...
Whatever, I need to save for Style Seeker, By Request & Marilyn.
I'm super excited about the 2 EL Matte LSs & of course the Electric Cool Shadows, so my goodies should be able to hold me over for a little bit! It's nice to branch out into other lines, but ur right there isn't a lot of info about these & I would have never been aware that they had such great, beautiful colors & interesting products if I had not done a little research.
HTH. Let me know ur thoughts on the Fall EL line & tell me if I'm missing out on anything!

Thanks for the info Spanky!  I think I will wait for the sale.  I'll probably stop at Nordstrom on Friday.  Just debating which one to go to.  I think they will have a GWP for so if I get it, I want to make sure I get a GWP too.  Plus, I don't think EL sells out as fast as Mac.  I'm debating this palette and the Dior Smoky Amethyst palette.  I like the looks of the Dior but I haven't read good reviews so we'll see.  As for the bronze, in some pics it does look bronzey.  Oh speaking of EL, there was a posting ages ago on Specktra with pics of the new Cyber eyeshadows in super bright colors.  Swatches of these are starting to shop up online so I need to do a search and see if I can find that posting.  But yes, we must start saving.  Lots of great things are coming up.

The casual color pots didn't have the shelf life listed on the box or package, either. MAC chat said they were a 24-month shelf life, which makes sense given the lipstick quality they have. I hope these shadows don't turn to pumpkins too quickly....though with the water base, it's certainly questionable!

They are probably better off in a beauty fridge.

That was so good thank you! I think I'm going to add Coil to my list now. So that makes five (Super Watt, Switch to Blue, Highly Charged, and Electroplate) all together for me. But thats IT. For now....
