I got to see the release this weekend.

I did not take my camera, so had her make me swatch sheets. I'll try to get back and do real swatches on my NW20 skin. (BTW, this is my very first post!)

And a link to my thoughts: http://mamadelovesmac.blogspot.com/2008/06/nordies-exclusive-preview.html

First I have some pictures of the pigments and swatches, all made on my NC42 skin with UDPP as a base.

And these are some of the Richmetal Highlighters, applied with my finger without a base, worked like a charm!!

I'm NW 15, and I applied a majority of these swatches with a Q-Tip. The Artifact paint pot part of the swatching is only for me; it has nothing to do with Colour Forms. The lippies had faded a bit by the time I took pictures, so please keep in mind they're not full-strength. Unless noted, all products are MAC.

Re: MAC - Colour Forms - July 08

Swatches are more than a few days old on a Kleenex... yes, a Kleenex. I used it to see what these colors looked like against a white background. Everything was applied with a Qtip minus Pop Circle l/s (you can see a slight ring around the swatch- I think that's from the moisturizing properties it has) and Play Around Pink. I used the l/s itself for PC and my fingertips for PAP. The inner two colors are on top, and the outer two are on the bottom for that swatch. Apologies for the poor handwriting- it's tough to write on Kleenex!

Re: MAC - Colour Forms - July 08

I'm really really sorry... I know that my pics kinda suck but this is the best I can manage so please bear with me ok? =D It's out in Singapore last week and I only managed to get to it today.

2 pics consist of the eye and lip palettes, the lippies and the piggies while pic is only of 3 the 3 pigges (Gilded Green, Royal Flush and Circa Plum) and the last is a comparison between Lovely Lily and Circa Plum.

Just a little bit of description, Circa Plum is more violet and much darker than Lovely Lily. Lovely Lily has more white and more pink. I think it may be possible to actually recreate Circa Plum by mixing Lovely Lily with Grape or Violet I just need to get the correct proportion to achieve the same colour. So if you have Lovely Lily and Grape/Violet, I think its ok to skip Circa Plum... although I still bought it... I'm such a sucker honestly... LOL

I bought both the cool and warm palettes because they are just so lovely! Although I have to say that they are not much differernt from past lip palettes. I gave the eye palettes a miss due to budget issues... or I would have taken both. It's the Great Singapore Sale season so my wallet is kinda crying out in despair you see.

I also bought Pop Circle because everyone agrees that it is one of the few colours that look decent on me. I wanted to get Naked to the Core but its so light, it hardly even showed up on my NC15-NW20 (its summer so its hard to judge) complexion so I doubt it'll appear on my lips. Pop Circle is GORGEOUS! Though I have to say most of my lippies are this colour... its not that unique that u'll die without it.

I didnt get to play with the highlighters or the powders and I wasn't keen anyways because the powder is like expensive blush and the highlighters won't work well on my oily complexion.

Another note, for those who want to buy Steel Blue, here's a piece of advice... DON'T! I bought it when The Originals was launched and I'm totally regretting it. I'm not saying its not nice... it's GORGEOUS to me or I would have returned it. BUT I haven't found many uses for it and I've only been able to use it alone and not with other colours... so its just sad that I can only swatch it on my hand, admire how pretty the gold flecks look on the turquiose then sigh and say what a pity it is that I dont use it much. A sample will be more than enough.
