It's understandable that the High-Light powders are so pale because they're supposed to act as a HIGH LIGHT and not blush. They're not like the beauty powders, which give you a nice flush.

Most people's definition of "highlight" is reflective, catching the light shimmer or frost. The drag definition is pale compared to dark. These things would work for theatrical makeup, since when layered heavily they create a ghostly pale matte color. These do not work in everyday situations unless someone wants to have the obvious simulated highlight, and pair it with contouring using handwritten eyeshadow.
Sorry if that sounds mean. I just wish MAC would NOT release crappy or niche items unless it's MAC-store or Pro. These things are too hard to use for the average customer, and ME the MAC artist is expected to sell it to both drag queens and soccer moms. Ugh!!

I agree that these are just sub-par ... I had the money saved for both of them and then didn't even get them because they were just so chalky. I am an NC20 and they wouldn't show up on me AT ALL ... not to mention being messy as hell. Definitely not a MAC-quality product IMO ... even though I loved the compact.

Why doesn't MAC just release the collections at the same time everywhere? |

i bought what a dame! wishing i never because it just doesnt do anything on me!! the sprayed sheen on the powder is a bit misleading in my opinion. i dont really know what to use this for now because it doesnt highlight anything!!!
i love hot frost l/g though!!!! the stickers are peeling up a bit already and the dodgy silver bits on the edge make it look cheap. but i love the colour of the gloss and thats the main thing

I just received Hot Frost and Possum Noose Pink. They're both so pretty for me. I love the shimmer in both. HF looks overly frosty in the container, but I find it to have a nice light shimmer.
PNP is my HG for right now, gonna git me a back up.
Hate the stickers, too. What a hassle, they keep catching on things in my bag. It's kind of unfortunate because I like the look of the glasses. I'm prob going to take them off.

So I managed to see the actual products on display at a counter, which made me excited, but when I told the MA I wanted to buy Coral Polyp, I was informed that the products would only be retailed from next week onwards. Boo!
I'm probably gonna get all 3 lippies. I might squeeze in Possum Nose Pink, Varicose Violet and Royal Tour pallet if budget allows. Sigh.
Are MAC nail lacquers worth buying? I haven't bought any yet, but I heard they're expensive and they come in such a big bottle! I seldom paint my nails, but this color is too freaking pretty to ignore.

elegant-one, you and I are so similar, I'm head in heels in love with Possum Nose Pink! (Splendid too) but I'm so happy I didn't pass over this collection like I was going to originally.
