Pink Pepper is still gorgeous, but I think I do like Cherie Merie better. I think I can live without Pink Pepper.Hate to break it to you, but they're not a match. I had a heck of a time capturing the true color of PP on camera no matter what light I was in; the first flash pic was the closest I could get it.

My Damson arrives today too! Can't wait to see this beauty in person!
That's really cool how you can get different looks depending on how you apply Damson. I love products like that. And I picked up Deeply Dashing this weekend at the counter. I like it a lot! I wanted to pick up more colors, but my budget isn't so makeup friendly right now. Over time I will definitely add more to my collection! So these are a hit with me, too!I get the purple in Damson to show up if I apply it with a brush. When I use those applicators I keep yelling about, it's just straight bronze gold. I love how varied it is. It's my #2 favorite pressed pigment, after Deeply Dashing.
Thank you. Sparkle p0rn is the bestest kind!My sole purchase from this collection arrived today - Damson. I love it, it's totally different to anything else in my collection. Will definitely have to be careful of fallout, but it's worth it! The light is going fast here, so I knocked out some quick swatches in assorted lighting. They're not terribly colour accurate, but you get the idea
My damson was SUPPOSE to arrive today but FedEx was an ass I left my house for 20 mins and of course they came them and left a paper saying they'll try again tomorrow .. This pissed me off because the last 2 packages from mac I was home and they didnt even ring or knock just left it on my step .. Wahhhhh
Can you call to pick it up from their facility when the truck checks back in? Not sure if that's available to you but in my area I can pickup FedEx packages at around 7pm if I missed the delivery. Luckily my packages from MAC are delivered via UPS and my UPS guy is awesome. If I'm not home he'll swing back by a second time! He's not supposed to but he does.
This must have been a different guy than the last 2 ;( i called them 20 mins after he left but when they requested a re delivery he was already gone from my town i guess, The FedEx location is 30 mins away so I just told them to deliver it again tmrw . ;(
Hello there!I don't know. Beautyscene hasn't written anything about it and I also can't find it in the overview she has for all the collections. She did update the overview and it does have the date for the other collections though http://www.beautyscene.nl/p/37865/mac_collecties_overzicht.
Ow and it's good to hear from you again
You HAVE got to try it on top of the purple, pink, rust or olive green Big Bounce shadows!!!!!!Well I lied, sorta. I can almost see the purple shift on the eyes but it's much more apparent on my fingertips. My favorite so far is over Half Wild paint pot
I forgot all about the Pressed Pigments. I just tried Damson yesterday. I put on Eclair and was going to put Deeply Dashing over it until I remembered Damson. I used the silicon applicator. I didn't see any purple tone to it but I didn't know it was supposed to have any. I will play around with this more.You HAVE got to try it on top of the purple, pink, rust or olive green Big Bounce shadows!!!!!!I just tried this out this morning and WOW - it is sparkle love paradise!
Normally I prefer Pressed Pigments on their own, not over any base, because I like the sheerness, but since Damson isn't that sheer in the first place, a sheer base like the Big Bounces is just outrageous. You really get the heavy duochrome effect that way. I'm sad we'll probably never see the BBs again. Is there some sort of drugstore product that's similarly sheer like those, with that rubbery finish when it dries?
