Thank you for posting. I wonder where Trendthief got her pictures from? For now I've got my eye on just the burgundy one. The rest is pretty but not special enough to buy. That can change when I see swatches though.

yeah I'm wondering about Trendthief (love that name!) getting the pics so early, too. The swatches from the Matte Lip collection were also by her. But I guess she's got enough naive helpers...such a shame.

Normally you can clearly see that she has the same images posted as are earlier posted on here. I just can't believe someone can be so naive. Or it is just somebody who works for MAC and want to help with generating more buzz. Like MAC doen't have enough buzz about any collection already.

Despite owning a lot of eyeshadows, I can see myself picking up a couple of these. Thanks DollSwatches

I'm underwhelmed about the swatches but I want them all for the name. Thank you Dolly. Can't get this collection out of my head so I did bought the Saturday Night Fever record yesterday and is has been playing non stop since.

Huh, these aren't really what I expected. I was thinking they'd be insanely sparkly, literally 'dazzling', but these don't look that different to any other glittery eyeshadow.Swatches

The only way to bring these to their full potential... A damp brush and primer

Thing is, these are not what I was expecting from the colourdiscriptions.
Boom Boom Room - Light burgundy with emerald sparkles, I couldn't find an emerald sparkle for the life of me.
Slow/Fast/Slow - Bronze with red sparkles, is that a bronze? Looks more like a wash of pink to me.
Let's Boogie - Black with sparkles, so black with sparkles looks like dark blue with a wash of grey now.
Try Me On - Deep blue green with sparkles, this deep blue green looks a lot like light blue to me.
Feel the Fever - Deep blue purple with pink sparkles, with deep blue they mean a wash of gray again, right?
I Like 2 Watch - Midtone brown with gold sparkles, they must mean straight up gold with this.How is this mid-tone brown?
I get the rest.
Let's Roll - Red bronze with high sparkles, I get this.
Last Dance - Peach beige with pink sparkels, I get this.
She Sparkles - Light grey with silver sparkles, I get this.
Get Physical - Purple with light blue sparkles, I get this.
Say It Isn't So - Dark gray with pink sparkles, I get this
Can't Stop, Don't Stop - Deep plum purple with sparkles, I get this
So half of the colour discriptions didn't made it with what I was expecting. That is better for my wallet because from the colourdiscriptions and the names I wanted it all. Because of the swatches I can just pare that down a lot. I think I am a bit dissapointed with the emerald sparkles missing from Boom Boom Boom. I do strongly agree with what Beauteblogeuer said about these being not as dazzling as I expected. I was thinking dazzling like pressed pigment dazzling and that is nothing like this.
Now I think about it I am very dissapointed that Let's Boogie doesn't look more like Dior's It-Black. I would have loved an eyeshadow that was named Let's Boogie and I would loved an eyeshadow that would look like Dior's It-Black. I can't make this colour of Let's Boogie work and I am not buying it just for the name.

Sometimes, whenever I read a colour description from MAC, I have to wonder if they can see what they have said in their description
HappyHippy

That is so true. I think they have a very artistic interpetation of colours. So artsy that sometimes even the names are a bit boring. Anyone remember the Oxblood? Just because the name is Oxblood that doesn't mean the colour has to be oxblood too. No, that would actually make sense.

Hmm I like the look of Lets's Roll, Feel The Fever and Try Me On~~ Not sure about the others... deffo need more swatches I wonder how different Boom Boom Room will be to Fervent pigment by Illamasqua..Swatches

I'm thinking the same based on these swatches. The descriptions don't seem to match and as of right now it looks like I have a lot of shadows that resemble the colours posted.
I'll wait for more swatches to emerge and I guess seeing them up close and personal will be helpful.

These looked much different when we saw pics of them last year...they aren't very dazzling at all, they all just have a bit of silver shimmer in them. Might get 1...

I'm hoping these are just horrible quality swatches...
