I think I may remember seeing a good swatch of shock-a-holic with perm colors in the DtW swatch thread. Can't remember which though. (kinda sleepy)

 

[InspiredBlue]

I really like the look Temptalia posted with the e/s from this collection today.

 

[Ingenue]

Okay... I'm officially done... I think!

I just ordered Lime, Zingy and the matte coral one.

Yep, I'm done. LOL!

I wouldn't worry except there is zero parking around here and I might have trouble getting a spot when I get back. I started to wait for a Monday delivery but I figured I'd be in the same situation. I'm so tempted to go to a counter and check out the colors I didn't order but I'm trying to be good.

I hate their policies!

They've made me do that before, too. I ended up waiting for delivery b/c my pick-up center is way the hell out there and I simply don't have time.

You look so pretty!

Night Violet has been on my wishlist forever! Now I want it more....

See.... I'm the opposite! I have too many tattoo ideas...

I had to have it as well, but if the quality sucks, I'm going to be REALLY disappointed.

Me too! It was such a great color combination.

 

[peachsuns]

It makes me want to go back to the store and buy those colors!

 

[erinmosh]

my haul:
sassy grass eyeshadow
louder, please eyeshadow
shock-a-holic eyeshadow
so bad lipglass
i also picked up some more foundation and brush cleanser!

in my opinion zingy was too close to electric eel and crazy cool was too close to beautiful iris. i already own aqua, lime, and going bananas, and the other shadows are either pro or permanent. so yay!

my camera kinda sucks, sorry. much brighter irl!

FACE:
nc15 studio sculpt
nw15 and nw20 (mixed) select cover up
light msf natural
medium dark msf natural as contour
i can't remember what i used as blush, i swear i used happy couple mineralize eyeshadow (the bronze side, obviously!)

BROWS
coquette eyeshadow

EYES
aqua in tearduct
going bananas on inner lid
lime mid lid/above crease
sassy grass on outer lid
plumage on outer lid
blanc type as highlight
boot black liquid liner
opulash mascara

LIPS (kind of worn off in the pictures):
oak lip liner
so bad lipglass


My favorite MA at my store made an amazing face chart for fabulous felines and MAC will be putting it up on their website when the collection comes out! look for it. her name is amber! <3

 

[abbyquack]

erinmosh, that look is so gorgeous and you are so lucky to have such open, round eyes! Beautiful!

 

[Addicted2Shadow]

ErinMosh, you resemble katy perry a lot! You probably already knew that though. She's pretty so it's a good thing.

And I will definitely look out for that face chart

^^^^SO VERY TRUE. I just ran to my counter and got SG because I knew if I gave myself a chance to play I would have walked away with a bunch more and I am saving up for FF, VV, & holiday collections and I already a bunch of these colors anyway.

After I got home I played with it and

. When I did my eyes this morning I had prepared to play with SG so I had on some Going Bananas, among other colors and Glamour Check. And when I patted some SG on with a 239 and added more Glamour Check and blended I was on

. I will be using this a lot. I can see it looking really good with Casino and well SO many colors. If you have yet to get Sassy Grass then RUN don't walk to your nearest MAC. It is a MUST HAVE.

they are totally different! moon's reflection is super frosty with cornflower tones, its so purdy! but sky blue is really like a mod baby blue with silver flecks.

i am loving so bad! its way more shimmery than dazzleglasses and i don't find them sticky. they wear down very well. and my hair doesn't stick to my lips like when i wear dazzleglass. i was gonna purchase dare to dare but they didn't get that one in yet for some reason? still thinking about bold and brash.. my bf don't like red

lol i thought the same thing as soon as i saw your pic!!!! very cute.

i havent been able to get anything yet, ugh!!!!! but hoping when i do..what i want will still be there..ill have to satisfy myself with looking at pics of everyones purchases here

 

[GlamQueen21]

I went to my MAC store today to check out this collection!! I didn't bother swatching the lipglasses since the eyeshadows were the ones that I was attracted to. All of them are gorgeous!!!! I have Going Bananas e/s coming on Tuesday while Sassy Grass e/s is coming on Thursday in the mail.

Going Bananas e/s: This is my first time seeing this eyeshadow in person! It's so pretty! I cannot wait to receive it on Tuesday!

Sassy Grass e/s: This eyeshadow is the stand out of this collection! I don't own too many greens so I'm slowly building up on a green eyeshadow collection. I cannot wait to get it in the mail either on Thursday or Friday!

Zingy e/s: Pretty!!! I B2M'd for it at my store and when I compared it to Electric Eel, they are NOT even close to it at all! Zingy is lighter than EE and it might be similar to MUFE #72.

Shock-A-Holic e/s: I almost did purchase this and I thought about my MUFE #92 and it did show up on me but it'll take about 2-3 applications for this color to show up.

Louder, Please e/s: It reminded me of Passionate e/s that I have and I almost bought it! I may place an order on this e/s sometime soon and plus I don't own too many pink eyeshadows.

Crazy Cool e/s: Of course I cannot pass up a VP eyeshadow in any collection! I don't own Beautiful Iris e/s and when I order BI, I'll do a comparison. I also B2M'd this eyeshadow.

Lime e/s: It looks so pretty! Even thought it's perm in the PRO line, I'll wait on this one to purchase it.

Sky Blue e/s: I don't know if anyone notices but it reminds me of Wisteria e/s somehow (the description of both are the same) except that SB is a Frost when Wisteria is a Velvet. I'll wait on this one if I want to get it.

Aqua e/s: I didn't get to swatch this one since I was in a hurry to not take too long at the MAC store. I'm aiming for that eyeshadow soon!

As for Winkle, Free To Be, and Atlantic Blue, they are pretty, especially AB since I already have it and I adore it!

i think going bananas should look good on you

and i'm pale and the matte sahdows are fine on me - usually if it's super bright like winkle, i will use a brown or taupe in the crease to tone it down for day time
