I love LP and PF as highlighter shades or something simple for a wash of light color on the whole lid. IV wore at least 6 hours on me with minimal fading but no creasing. FC is super gorgeous though. I would get all of them but if I had to leave one out it would be IV.

I only bought Superwatt, such a beautiful color and soooo shiny!

I agree!  SW is gorgeous!  I bought SW and Coil. 

 

I can't wait to see one of your looks with it!

Wait... SW looks like Vintage Selection?  Or PF?  I thought you said PF looked like VS... If I end up with any of these, THAT would be the one I want since I LOVE my VS...  Would love to know!  Thanks hun!

I think PF is lighter than VS. Superwatt is close.

Vintage Selection is lighter than Superwatt.

Ok... Thanks ladies!  Based on your rec purplerinne, I ordered PF..... So I just wanted to make sure that was the one you thought was like VS!  Thanks so much for confirming for me.

great photo! What type of camera did you use?

post #1006 of 1158
My final haul swatches: Pure Flash, Superwatt, Coil, Electroplate, Blacklit, Fashion Circuit. In my opinion the two stunners in this collection are Coil and Electroplate. I have a Coil BU on hold until tommorow. Superwatt and Pure Flash are beautiful, too. If I could, I'd BU all the neutrals...

I picked up a few more of these yesterday.  In addition to the Superwatt I already had.  I got:

 

  • Coil
  • Pure Flash
  • Blacklit
  • Love Power
  • Fashion Circuit

 

I put back Electroplate and I'm regretting it.  I will have to go back to Mac since they gave me a wrong product and I must exchange.  I'll probably pick it up then.

I was going to pass on this collection. But got Fashion Circuit with my order of Rocker. Cant wait to try it out!

post #1014 of 1158

mac_boxday.gif I got my new babies (Superwatt, Coil, Fashion Circuit, and Brilliantly Lit) happily intact! (Unlike a nail polish that had exploded in a bubble envelope icon_eek.gif.) Only Coil had a little bump (it had separated from one side), but it's now ok.
 

post #1015 of 1158

My Superwatt was like that, came away on one side, but it was easy to press back. I actually bought that at the counter. The ones I oredered from Debenhams were fine. Btw, I got the same ones as you, except I got Electroplate instead of Coil. ;)

KelseeBrianaJai, I love the eye look you did with IV and FC! You look stunning!

 

I hauled IV and Dynamo from Nordstrom's, then picked up FC, Switch to Blue, Love Power, Highly Charged and Brilliantly Lit at my MAC counter last week.

 

I've only worn IV so far (tried it on its own as a wash), but I love it! Love the texture and the color. I experienced some fading after about 6 hours, but no creasing.

 

These do remind me of the Buxom Stay There shadows, which I love. Same issue with them shifting in the pots, too. I skipped Coil and Electroplate, because they are dupes of Buxom's Pug and Golden Retriever. Plus Buxom's are $1.50 cheaper and contain 0.05 more ounces.

I think this is the reason I am going to forgo any BU's...I can try the Buxum shades when these are used up.

IA. The only one I will back up when they hit CCOs (if they make it to mine) is Infra-Violet. Maybe Dynamo, depending on how I like it when I finally try it out.

 

Some of the Buxom shades aren't carried anymore by Sephoras inside JCP (such as the shade Switch to Blue is a dupe of), so not sure if those few are discontinued or not. Just from my limited experience wearing IV, so far I like the Stay There shadows better, texture-wise, and because they come in glass jars.

I wish that I can use my finger to apply, but Kevin James Bennett (of In My Kit) advised MUAs not to do that as it will breed bacteria. At the counter, I like how my finger swatched these eyeshadows, but I do not like using a brush for these shadows. Application seems too transparent if I use a brush. I am wondering if there are any good alternatives to brushes and fingers. Thanks in advance!

I was wondering how those cheapy sponge applicators would apply for these. Anyone try?
