I'm just trying to help folks out. I've been really trying not to buy MAC lately, so ANY excuse to not get something I'm putting out there.

The packaging is not the problem...I just dont know LOL I still love you though

And I <3 you tooooooooo
Hahaha oh you just wait there, once swatches are up for the lippies you'll change your mind in a heart beat

And the lippies are all I want. Im such a gloss HO.

I don't care too much for the packaging. Lilac, purple or whatever you wanna call it - is pretty but the glasses are kinda cheesy. lol

 

[Sanayhs]

I'm mostly just eying the lipsticks. Which I can B2M for. Yesss...

here ya go ya'll

for the highlight powders, the first swatch is the the "base" of the powder, the second swatch is the raised shimmer part. both the "base" and the raised powder have shimmer, but both are just an shimmer overspray like the balloonacy ones. the underlayer is matte.

sorry, this is what happens when i try swatching glosses

and susanne, there are no country exclusions!

 

[LadyFaenyx]

I know both the highlight powders are definitely on my list.
The wisteria trio & possum nose pink are maybes (but probably's, lol)

I like the packaging!... but it could have been a helluva lot better. It looks like they didn't spend much time or imagination on it, to be honest. Dame Edna is well... DAME EDNA! Everyone has seen pictures of her, they could have come up with SOMETHING more imaginative. In the other thread, where it lists what's in the collection, the very first picture. Her shirt is a good example... maybe a nice teal packaging, with gold & purple swirls and sparkles... lol

Thank you erine for the swatches!

I so appreciate you posting these for us!

I have to admit that after seeing the swatches I am a bit underwhelmed. Maybe it is just because I am on collection overload.

All of these colors are starting to look the same to me but with different names.

 

[AudreyNicole]

Hey Erine, did you get to see Veracose Violet nail polish? It is really the only thing from this collection on my list...

 

[Randy Rose]

I think I've decided that I can pass up the Royal Tour trio . . . I don't need any more purples, pinks, or blues . . . at least not those particular ones. Slowly whittling down my end-of-the-year madness! That knocks my Edna purchases down to 1 of each item (and no lacquers)! Maybe I can bump off one or two of the Monogram glosses and start actually saving some money.

They're the devil. Girl About Town and Burnin' were my most ill advised purchases ever, especially since Burnin' is basically just Medea in a crappy formula, and GAT is basically just Hollywood Nights in a crappy formula. I'm honestly considering B2Ming them and they're both almost totally untouched.

 

[MrsMay]

mmm.... I am really liking the look of Kanga-rouge lipstick....

at least I can B2M for that one!

[genica]

thank you for the swatches erine!

i think the e/s trios look pretty dupable, but i'm interested in the lippies and highlight powders.

 

[damsel]

gladiola l/s
coral polyp l/s

hot frost l/g
possum nose pink l/g

maybe:
wisteria eye trio

my lips will look smashing come december
