I REALLY don't "get" the whole "COMING SOON" crap MAC keeps doing when it posts these new collections!
IV and Dynamo taking FOREVERRRRR to post online with the Electric Cool Collection, even though every other retailer had them in stock. NOW this WAITING on a few eyeshadows and blushes to appear for Office Hours... What ends up happening is LOST interest.
How can a brand new collection not have all it's items when it launches? And other MAC sites have them (ie Canadian PRO site)?

I'm just confused. Was really ready to order several of these items when they popped up on PRO, but now I have placed 2 orders and not 1 thing from OH has been in my carts!

Guess I'll just wait for some more swatches and see what happens and how interested I feel again...

I'm waiting on Mauvelss. I would rather have one larger order than several small boxes. I hate breaking all those boxes down for the recycle bin.

I got my order this morning, keep in mind that I haven't tested anything on my face yet.

Stubborn blush is a pinky plum shade, it's almost matte (very natural satin finish). It's nicely pigmented and the texture is very soft!

Fashion Fix eye shadow might be too similar to Coquette, but I don't have it near me right now to compare them. It's not as pigmented as I though it would be, kinda sheer. And matte.

Ever Ivory eye shadow seems to be lighter than Brule, but like I said I can't compare them. It's matte, and not very well pigmented. It looks kinda sheer and very powdery. Not really nice, so far.. will have to try it on my lids because the skin on my hands is dry so it doesn't stick much anyway. It might be similar to Blanc Type, but BT is much better.

Seriously, it's not that great so far, except for the blush. I might change my mind once I get a chance to really try them on my face, but if I was in the store and swatched them on my hands only, I wouldn't have purchased the eye shadows.

Stubborn sounds very nice.

tell me about it! I wound up placing an order online and getting IV and Dynamo from my store. They stayed that way for two weeks iirc.

Just back from Pro!!! I walked away with 3 of the eyeshadows and a possible 2 tomorrow. The ones I got were:

  • More Amour Mid-tone red (Limited Edition)
  • Endless Passion Mid-tone rose (Limited Edition)
  • Mauveless Dark dirty mauve
These three colors will look great with each other in any combination and I love the fact that I can use almost all of them as a blush as well. The two colors I have on hold until tomorrow are:

  • Uninterrupted Dark camel
  • Linger Softly Light frosted grey blue
I wanted to compare Uninterrupted to Outre. If they aren't similar I will get it. I looks like it could be a great transition/ blending color for me. Linger Softly also reminds me of something in my stash.

Ooooh. I am so jealous Dilligaf! Those are the shadows I am aiming for. Please let us know how they are when wearing. I'm also very interested in Linger Softly.

I didn't even think of using them as blushes as well. Oooooh.

I was hoping so much that they would work as blushes too.
Now I am even more excited!!!

All's I've gotten so far is Whole Lotta Love. PrettyKitty you have me worried about the texture of Ever Ivory! I wanted a close but matte cousin to Creamy Bisque, I'll have to check it out in person to see what I think! I hope WLL is different enough from LoveCloud, though!

Duckrodeo, I think you would have loved Blanc Type! I don't own Creamy Bisque, but I can tell by looking at the swatches that Ever Ivory is no where near as opaque.

I'll def consider that! Thanks for the suggestion. I'm also glad it's perm! I'm going to B2M for Mehr and Double Shot, I'll have to check out BT when I make the trip to my local store and maybe add that to my bag :)

That's a good idea, you think they'll let me b2m an eyeshadow from office hours since they're going to be perm now? I want mauveless but it didn't let me add to Cart.
