I've finally quikly and lightly swatched my stuff (first of all I have to photograph everyting!). Outrage darkens a bit my lips and is full of green and blue micro glitter! Wow it's better than how i figured it! Elude is incredibly soft! it's the same color of my inner wrist and leaves a light sheen... really light! I stll have to try it on the face! Deceit is amazing but I've not swatched it yet, I'll do it only for pictures (I can't use too much productXD).. I'm really happy of this Christmas present!

I am so in love with the blue glitter in Outrage. Isn't it gorgeous?
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Elude once you tried it out. It seems to be a great highlighter for your skin.

After using elude for a while, I must admit that I really like it. It is different from what I normally "do", but I think that it is very flattering on.
I also like the brush, but I am a bit concerned. When I have washed it with baby shampoo, a light brown color comes off in the water. I only use this brush with elude (so far), so the brown color must be the dye from the brush?

I would wash it again and rinse well. If it continues, I'd take it back for an exchange. Mine did not bleed at all.

Got my haul. And oh my, Restrict is AWESOME! I have finally found my HG nude! It's perfect for my coloring. I really want to get a backup but damn the price. When I first put it on I had no makeup on so I wasnt too sure bout how it looked at first. But once I put the rest of my makeup on it pulled together.
Got Vacant as well. Does remind me a lot of Docile. Mine went bad so its awesome.
Also got the shadows. I looked at the packaging then put them immediately in the fridge. It was SOOOO hard to not open them!
I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVE the packaging! So sleek and gorgeous!

I think Restrict is flattering on a wide range of complexions - it's amazing how a slight grey hue can complement skin and brighten it up.
And have fun with your GP Metal X.

Yes....it was very hard for me too...
I am happy to hear that you love all your goodies!!!
Restrict is really awesome....for me it is unique because I do not have such a pretty nude yet.
It is very special IMO
Vacant reminds me not only of Docile but also of Preciousness from Baroque Boudoir Collection which I love so much too!!!

Well, I caved. I was in Boston on the 23rd and 24th and picked up the kabuki brush and Elude. Wasn't going to spend any more money, but after I saw the brush and the Elude and used both together, had to have them. Now, I'm wondering, the differences between this kabuki brush and the kabuki brush in the semi-precious collection. I know they are different shapes and different bristles, my question is the application differences. I'm feeling as though this brush should be used to apply the beauty powders in a light swirling pattern and the semi-precious kabuki brush should be used for blushes and bronzers in a more sweeping pattern - is this correct? And yes, I figured this out by the products sold with the brushes!

WOW wow wow wow wow....I wore Elude today under my eyes & dusted over my makeup, but slightly more high on the cheekbones and below my blush. temples & down the center of my nose a bit. Our son took our usual family photo (pretty much professionally taken the way he does it) & I have to say that this powder made a huge difference in the photos.
I may have to BU this baby now.

I believe it is the soft focus effect that makes it so flattering to photograph. Yeah for BU's!

so much of this collection was sold out the last time i was at the mac counter here...
i had hoped to pick up restrict, but was too late! well, maybe if i happen by another store that has the collection, i'll have better luck.
i wore ardent the last couple of days -- i had more luck with it staying on today than yesterday. of course i wore it with two faced primer underneath...not sure exactly what i did differently today! i did kind of a subtle wash over the lids...i love the look and the texture...

i believe it was the metal x shadows and the lipsticks that went first... i'm sad and check the site quite frequently!

Did you want the Metal X as well?
i love the metal x from this collection and know they are different to the 'normal' ones but i still wasn't planning on getting them. so i'm not sad about those

Ughhh, I know right?
Especially after the Chanel splurge. I wish it would have had a refill.And, will it ever be repromoted? After seeing the photos, I cannot believe what a difference it really makes!
