Hey there's my face! :haha:

I tried my best to blur friends out. Lol For privacy purposes.

I sure hope so. I just couldn't skip it. I at least have to try it for myself. Hopefully I get on with a lot of brown.

I use Metal Rock a lot- even on me despite my light NW25-NC37 skin. It makes a fantastic contour and eyeshadow too! The key is to use just enough and not too much.

Karen from makeupand beauty blog should have reviews up soon. She posted to Instagram and actually responded to me. Lol I'm a little star struck

I saw that! I was like woot woot!

I sooooo want Metal Rock in my collection..... I wish MAC would re-promote it. Hopefully EE will be awesome!

Ordered Tropica and EE from Nordies...... Yes I have a problem... Lol!

You might have a problem. I kept warning everyone, EE turns ashy on very dark complexions - it's something in the orange pigment's base. We played around with that amongst ourselves when I was checking out the collection with some of the MAs. It doesn't really matter about the swirl either, since the orange part goes on so sheer - it's better just mixed together (all the blushes are, for the same reason). I hope you can make it work!!!!

EE is great - but only on just the right skin. Try it before you buy it is the way to go.

Awwww that is too bad. There are so few truly beautiful dark colors that come out, I was hoping this would be along the lines of Metal Rock.

Oddly I've seen a few swatches on nc50 and darker ladies where it looked like a nice shimmery brown shade, not ashy at all.

I can not wait to see photos of it- are you getting it too?

Here are some http://statigr.am/viewer.php#/detail/485585175661806407_31880287

I'm still tussling with what to get if anything. Maybe once Karen posts them I'll be more enthused or persuaded.

I'm not private so it's ok. I saw your pic before i read what it was and was like "wait! Is that my face!?"

Shoot. Temptalia's swatches are making me cave to order in addition to my previous order all the blushes plus Rio & Lust. What do I do??

 

[MACina]

So good to know

Ilove then all

 

[MACina]

That sucks....hopefully you can find one with more pink!

I just opened my box. I got Rio, Lust and Adored MSFs, the 159 brush and Heroine l/l. Adored is gorgeous! Rio will probably go back. The one I got is mostly brown with a fairly thin pink stripe down the middle. I will see if I can find a better looking one at Nordstrom. If I can't, no big deal.

Lokkette!

lilinah.... you make me soooooooooo excited for these MSFs

BTW ladies, Narcissus is my 1st ever CSG. I am so excited to receive it tomorrow.

I am not feeling EE right now...maybe it'll be spectacular on certain skin tones but so far it's made the people I see try it look like they are slathered in mud....I think Thursday I will get MM (I love mineralized lippies and I can always use a fushia one), 159, and maybe a mineralized e/s or blush. Nothing is taking my breath away just yet...

Sorry for the quality of the photos I took them with my iPhone. I also got all the shadows my favorites are Dare To Bare, Time To Tango, and Tropica I tried to take pictures of them but just couldn't get "good enough" ones I hope these swatches help at least. Left to right Simmer, Exotic Ember, Sweet Samba

Lust, Rio, Adored

Lust is darker than Rio on Karen

The blushes are looking more promising.
