MAC Art of the Eye Collection (May 2013)

[Shopping Obsess]

I got the Rimal Dahabia eyeshadow quad as I have been wanting to get shroom and soft brown for a while. Might as well get the quad for better value.

 

[MACerette]

Yay! Just placed my order and got both quads, parrot and Farasha

Eep, I'm new and this is my first non-welcome board post. Anyhow, I got Banafsaji and Farasha from this collection! Resisted Parrot because I have too many similar shades already that I don't wear often enough. I had it in my cart but removed it at the last moment! Feels good! To round out the order, I also got Up the Amp and Violetta lipsticks to try and make up for missing Heroine.

That was my exact thought too!

Good ol Shroom!

If you have any sort of transparent mattifying powder, you can make Violetta look just like Heroine! :welcome: to the site!

Finally figured out what Banafsaji kept reminding me of... Evidence from Urban Decay. I kept looking at it like "I know I have you somewhere!" but that didn't stop me from ordering it -_-

Thanks!

Welcome to Specktra!
I absolutely love Up the Amp. I use it all the time and I don't care how many purples/lilacs and lavenders MAC comes up with that's limited edition as long as Up the Amp is permanent!

On a side note, I found out some days ago my Up the Amp has what looked like some kind of oily condensation. I don't know what it is but it's probably what you guys call snow in another thread but it looks bigger. Doesn't keep me from using it though it doesn't seem like it's gone bad. I still love it.

I dunno. Evidence looks a lot bluer to me.

In the beginning I thought I'd have at least a couple of dupes for Banafsaji in my collection but now I'm not so sure

Thanks! I hope you enjoy yours, too! And these colors are really hard to resist! I was trying to hold off on makeup purchases until May but I caved.

 

[MissTT]

My thoughts as well. My Naked palette has too much shimmer to be as versatile as I want. Hopefully these colors show up well enough on me.

Snow only appears on lustres and pencils. It's just sweat. It happens with all creamier lipsticks like Amplifieds and super emollient products like CCBs and studio finish concealer. Just lightly dab it with a tissue and it's all good.

I am surprised that Parrot is still available on the US site. I had to order it since I only have a 'fake Parrot' that I bought from a con artist on ebay.

 

[hazyday]

I impulsively went back for Banafsaji.

I was planning to buy it until I saw T's review. I already have the Tarina Tarantino emerald palette, and Ozma is very similar. I rarely use that one, so I decided I didn't need the MAC one afterall. I think her review also makes a good point that this used to be a very unique color, but now there are other shadows that are similar so that may be why it's not yet sold out.
