Lighting isn't the best here so can't really take good pics. It's fine, silky and soft - really, really lovely texture. Not at all how T described it. I literally got it 10 minutes ago so I'll write more later when I tested it properly.

*sneaks back in* Oh but did you see Palm Tree fluidline? That would truly be unique to my collex. Etheral Orchid is my kind of color, and I love coral cremesheen glass... *Sigh*
I'll be stalking for Palm Tree no matter what, that sucker is right up my alley! I really like everything about the Night Sky palette, the colors, the name, the packaging. Everything except for the price, so I'll make my final decision about it on game day!

It's difficult to show a swatch on my skintone because it blends right in. I'd describe it as a subtle satin finish, it is not completely matte as T said. Not sure how it will look on darker skintones but it's perfect if you're around NW/NC10-15.

Sounds perfect, thanks for your pictures and thoughts! This is the only item I want from this collection and I'm really looking forward to it.

You're welcome. :) I'm glad I went for it, I was a little unsure after the first reviews. I like this better than Elude from Gareth Pugh.

And one more pic of the packaging because it's so pretty.

I don't even know what it's made of, kind of feels more like paper rather than fabric.

I'm definitely seeing the pearl in your picture. I'm assuming the powder's effect was lost on T because it was just so wrong for her skin tone. It would make sense that a Chinese designer would lean towards fairer shades, but I really really think MAC should have done 2-3 different shades to better accommodate more skin tones. Have you dusted any on your face yet to see if the effect is maintained?

Alright, I've reapplied once since I got it and I'd say the longevity is around 2,5 hours depending on how much you eat/drink. The lipstick itself feels very moisturizing, has a nice sheen and even though it feels like it has some slip it stays nicely on the lips instead of bleeding all over the place. I have picture spam for you all. I compared it to a bunch of my other lipsticks but none of them really semed close, Rare Breed was the closest I had. I couldnt find my Mehr (Probably on the bottom of my purse somewhere) but I reckon it's darker and more pinky.Here's picture spam for you all!

I am a NW10 for reference, this is a nice nude for me but since it has some sheerness to it I think it would suit many different skintones.










Royal Ball, Innocence, See Sheer, Zenith, Rare Breed, Beauty.

I'll be stalking like crazy for the blushes, lippies and the powder.

I'm debating whether I need the fluffy brush or not...it's pretty but I don't know if it's worth it.

Agh, I'd dismissed this but now you're making me want it again. I'm still eyeing up a blush, a lipstick and the blue palette. Too much!

I think the only thing standing out to me are the brushes just because I don't have many yet and the handles look nice.
