MAC Art of the Eye Collection (May 2013)

[Prettypackages]

can someone post pics of where the transition color goes? I can't quite pic some of these colors as transition shades. What if you don't have the lid space for it. I need to post a pic of my eyes. I have one of the "folds" and you can barely see the lid b/c it covers it.

So Gorgeous. I nearly skipped this but I'm so glad my fear of skippers remorse kicked in!

Just received my Parrot e/s.
I didn't realise it was going to be so beautiful

 

[Medgal07]

You're correct! After seeing swatches of Parrot I didn't care that I have Shimmermoss, Steamy, Robbins Egg & Aquadisiac. It was just too pretty to pass up.

get it! you won't regret it
check your stash first though

it is a lot more blue than many turquoises

I just compared it to shimmermoss and deep end (urban decay)
L to R : Shimmermoss, parrot, deep end

Mine arrives Tuesday. The color is so pretty but the feedback is a real disappointment. I'll report back about my experience and I'll let you know about the sticker too.

Used a large fluffy brush to apply Hajar Karim. Totally needs to be packed on to get this color. Finger swatching for this is a fail.
I'm kinda disappointed since it does say Veluxe pearl on the box but it is dry/matte to the touch.
The back of my shadow didnt have the name sticker. Anyone else experience this?

 

[Medgal07]

Wow...that's great. Parrot is screaming on you---so pretty!

My goodies came yippie cnt wait to try them parrot out of the four eyeshadows i got is highly pigmented on my complexion. NC50/NW45

 

[Medgal07]

Go for it Kimibos. You can work with it---I know you can. It's too pretty to pass up!

i got parrot and it looks so pretty, i also got the orange one for a cp and crap i want it badly. i think im gonna have to order it. i dont have anything like it in my stash. im just afraid its going to be hard to work with. i have issues with matte shadows like mac and bobbi brown ones.
bobbi brown ones being the worst ones.

Shit i cant decide!

Can anyone show any day-friendly eye looks using a green shadow like Hajar Karim?

 

[Medgal07]

If you get nothing else Pretty, you need to get Parrot!

Gonna purchase the 5 Eyeshadows and the 3 Chromagraphic Pencils on Thursdays

Can anyone suggest eye looks for Rimal Dahabia? Today I wore Beauty Burst on the lid, Najm el Lail in the crease/outer V/under eye, Soft Brown transition and Shroom to highlight. Groundwork p/p was the base. The look was kind of blah. Beauty Burst seemed too warm or otherwise out of place with the rest of the shadows.

Does anyone know how Beautyburst compares to Lancome's Russet (oldie but goodie)? It looks similar and I refuse to get the quad for one color. I took HK out of my cart after the disappointing swatches so thank you guys for helping me save money.....for TR.

Hopefully, my Farasha, Sama and Banafsaji will arrive tomorrow. I got Farasha because I can't resist an orange-toned anything and butterflies hold a special significance for me but I got the other items just because they are so pretty.

Hiiiiiii!!! Lol.. I received my box today and did some quick swatches. Umm, for the single shadows they were swatched twice with "Gameela" being the most difficult to show. Also, the quad was swatched once with the exception of "Najm El Lail" being the worst for me which was swatched 3 times and still blah...

dang maybe I should've just stuck with parrot and called it a day.

Reporting back as promised---the eyeshadow name sticker is intact. I have not yet had the opportunity to experiment with it the eyeshadow-----Just depotted it and put it in its new palette home.

Farasha is GORGEOUS.

It's almost what one might have expected Daydreaming from the Haley Williams collection to be.
