If you use on the lower lashline or waterline, it brightens the eye and makes you look awake and well rested. Less harsh than white.

Shontay (or anyone else) - how would you compare the level of shimmery shine in the highlight powders to the shimmer in the Truth & Light Magically Cooling Powder from VV? I LOVE that powder so so so so so much and would only be interested in these highlight powders if they were even smoother and shinier - i want my face to look like it was dipped in liquid shine

I think I will skip the glitter bombs lip gels. None of the lipsticks are really tempting me. I think I want all the PP, IGNK, and Feline. Rose Ole and possibly the other high light powder. I gotta see the powders in person. I loved By Candlelight, and if Rose Ole is like it with more pink and less gold, I am all over it. I will have to show some restraint on the PP even though I want them all. The mauve-pink one and the silver one for sure, possibly the gold and the bronze. I don't care if they are sheer, I like them as a base for E/S or for a slight wash of color. They can't be too glitter bombastic though. This collection I definitely have to see in person. Swatches just don't help me here...

Wow, I'm gone for a night and miss 104 posts?!?! Yeesh! Just sticking with IGNK and Feline. Peacocky will require much more attention from me!

My pro shop wasn't selling the collection today, but they did let me have a peek at the product and swatch them. I'm more impressed than I thought I would be, because in person, the shimmer of all the products really adds depth that doesn't come out so much in photographs.
Some brief thoughts:
Flustered is a little deeper than I thought and more bronze, but it's a very pretty colour. Quiet, Please looks divine in the tube, but I couldn't even get it to show up on my hand.
Of the gelees, Luxure looked almost clear and seemed to have less shimmer than the others. The remaining three are very pretty, although I'd still say that Sin-tillation is unnecessary if you already have Resort Life. It's cooler and a bit pinker, but I can't imagine you'd really be able to see the difference. Both Bubble Lounge and the one whose name I can't remember are quite pigmented. BL is mine on the 26th. The Great Enabler thought that all the gelees were nice and warranted buying- he thought there was enough difference to justify having both Luxure and Sin-tillation.
The Paint Pots are not exactly sheer, at least not as I understood it, but they are more emollient than others. I found that all four colours had plenty of pigment- no trouble getting any of them opaque on my hand- and all are very pretty. Chilled on Ice is the frostiest of them, while I think that Dangerous Cuvee is the least frosty. These are really the high point of the collection. I'm definitely getting Vintage Selection and Dangerous Cuvee. TGE thought Chilled on Ice was the nicest one... It's really a subjective thing. Bottom line, if you're put off by frost/ shimmer, you're probably not going to like these (maybe DC), but if you like that texture/ finish, you're probably going to want more than one.
I Get No Kick is a very pretty highlight. I couldn't see the shimmer that well, although I had all the p/p swatches on my hand at the time, so perhaps it was just more subdued when placed next to them. The Great Enabler really liked this.
I had the damnedest time getting any kind of swatch from the beauty powders. They look really pretty, but they seriously did not want to budge. If I had that much trouble getting them to show up using my fingers, it seems like it would take about half an hour to get them built up using a brush...
The quad is... pretty much exactly as expected. I thought it was pretty, TGE seemed iffy until he saw Caviar Dreams, which he thought was very special. I made a point of swatching the permanent line version of Retrospeck and the quad version and the latter is much smoother. Maybe it's just that the permanent sample has seen more action, but they swatched totally differently. I'm waffling on this a bit now, because I found it really difficult to get Brule and Et tu Bouquet to show up on my skin.
Those are my thoughts... I'll be back on Sunday to make my purchases, although I'm still figuring out what those will be.
Edit: I absolutely loved both nail lacquers. I might have to grab the two of them.

With all the other collections coming out I think I am going to have to stick to the Fix + Lavender and the Dangerous Cuvee paint pot. I'm thinking MAYBE an eyeliner but I am not 100% on that yet. I'm not even 100% on the PP.

These highlight powders definitely seem more noticeable on the face to me than the VV cooling powders. Chez Chez Lame, especially will have you looking like you were dipped in liquid shine.

After temptalia's swatches I fell in love with Soiree nailpolish. I thought it wasnt unique enough to get but I was wrong. Its gorgeous! So I have added 3 more things on my list..oh boy lol I've worked my ass off lately so I'm treating myself.
I'm in pickle....I wanted to replace my lost Gone Romancin' but am trying not to buy anymore in this haul. So should I wait a while? How long do you think it will be available?
Do we know the exact date this will be sold online?
Feline e/l (was going to get a backup but figured it would be repromoted again)
I get no Kick e/l
Bubble Lounge lipgelee
Sin-tillation lipglee (even if its like RL, I love RL so I dont mind it being simular)
Dangerous Curvee p/p
Vintage Selection p/p
Lady Gaga l/s (before it goes byebye)
final total: 118.50$ Please let this be the final list! lol And I decided to get the purple lippy from SY too after temptalia's swatches, I actually like the subtlety of the purple. Violetta is more in your face purple, but still plan on getting it eventually. And MAYBE the purple ccb

Alrighty. I watched Mo's haul on YT and I dropped Dangerous Cuvee like a bad habit. She said it's very sheer and sheerer than she expected and is a glitter bomb (come the hell on MAC!!!!). $16.50 saved. I added in Chez Chez Lame because I'm a sucker for highlighters and I like the way it looked on her so if I don't like it I'll just return it.
Updated list...
Chez Chez Lame
I Get No Kick (2)
Feline
NW25/NC30
Soiree
Fix+ Lavender
And datz it.

I saw a pair of Guess at Joeneve in Bayshore mall here in Ottawa for $300. The SA told me they'll be $120 on Boxing Day. I shop there all the time so she always gives me the scoop. I'm gonna be there first thing in the morning on Boxing Day and then head out to MAC to get my Cham Pale goodies.

So I tried Dangerous Cuvee and I hate it. It's definitely going back and I am disappointed. The glitter, I thought wasn't going to be the problem, but within the tiny bit of glitter there are big chinks. It got all over my face like I took a lipgelee and smeared it. It also looked like it broke down the shadow I put on top. That was probably just the glitter breaking through. Ugh. Oh well, I had to try it to know.
