Have you tried it with the 128? It will pick up just the right amount. Glorify looks amazing on NC complexions and or WOC. It might be a bit harder to pull off on lighter NW, as it is more yellow-based. But if you have strong yellow undertones, Glorify is definitely BU worthy big time.

Agreed! Glorify is sooo gorgeous. I plan to mostly use it as an eyeshadow (it's super pretty - try it!) so I don't feel the need to BU. I did score a BU of WoG because I plan to use that one so much more for its intended purchase, especially come summertime!

I checked out this collection in person today and picked up Superb, Whisper of Guilt, Modern Pewter, and Blue Orbit. I just ordered Glorify on Nordstroms because I have been loving golden bronzed cheeks on me, even though I am of pale NW complexion. I also plan on getting Grand Galaxy as long as it is not sold out at my nearest Mac counter!

I am so in love with this collection! All of the skinfinishes are must-haves IMO, along with Modern Pewter especially. It is such a complex shade of gold, seafoam green, and silver. Blue Orbit is also so unique with its duochrome. Love love love.

I fully expect that MAC will release similar textures/formulas in the near future, especially as the competition is certainly strong on this front.

I took a look at this collection and realized that I had a lot of very similar eyeshadows to what was offered, however I must say that the quality of these shadows is excellent. I've been wearing some for about three hours and no creasing (though I do have a paint pot base underneath it.

The MSFs are also very cool. Lots of sheen. I was very tempted by Glorify because it was so neat and I don't own anything like it...but it was really orange on me. I told my MA to be honest with me, and he agreed it was too orange for me. So I passed. If it was more bronze or gold I probably would've given in.

This is why I was going to skip it. Ty for posting that. Even tho the BU King says to get it. So when does everyone's box come in? Looks like mine won't get here until next week or so...

I certainly hope so, I am loving this formula so far. Today I got BUs of all 3 highlighters and rounded out my e/s collection and picked up Warm Thunder, Lunar and Dark Dare. I am done. Lol.

I was looking at Glorify in store today to see how intense it is on my skin tone and OMG is it amazing! The MUA put it on me along with Full of Joy from Tres Cheek. I love the colour combination because of the contrast. I only ended up with Glorify and Modern Pewter but I may just go back for FoJ! *drool*

I need to try this

You must! It's still going pretty strong even after 8 hours of wear. I see some fading but only at the edges. =)

My box is scheduled to be here tomorrow. I'm so excited! I'm trying to not make a second order. I originally had heirloom in my bag and then decided to take and now I think I should have kept it. Between the 3 collections I ordered WoG (everytine I see that I think without Guilt. Hah! more money less calories i guess), Sweet Heat, Havanna, Young Venus, Blue orbit, Grand Galaxy and Rich Core. I also got PP and WMS (which I'm a little nervous about one) and two blushes. Immortal Flower and Full of Joy. I havent really worn blush in a long time but i love my CD Pink diamond shimmer skin and have been using that so much I decided I should add in a couple blushes and they look so pretty.

Any have both Glorify and EL's Topaz Chameleon? Dusty Hunter says he really can't tell the difference between the two, but it'd be great to get a second opinion. I already have TC even though I'm lemming Glorify, and despite thinking it looked to coppery on my face, it look gorgeous on my forearm.

Ok, I WAS going to just not even look at these eyeshadows.... But...... But.... You know..... It's hard to resist. So I had to. I grabbed GG at macys. I switched a bunch too. You know what these totally remind me of once swatches? They resemble MES but are easier to blend with a slightly softer feel. They just are not "one color". They have like ten colors in each one... It's pretty cool. I'm going to pick up one, maybe two more and then I have to stop! I just wanna say, you MAC for releasing three collections at once, one of which has $200 worth of eyeshadow(that everyone must have) and $97 worth of powder I just am running out of storage!!!

My thoughts exactly... my wallet hates me. Right now, I'm thinking of going back for more.

 

[Prettypackages]

gorgeous. your application is flawless.

Grand Galaxy eyeshadow all over my lids, Sweet Heat eyeshadow to highlight the inner corners of my eyes
Immortal Flower blush on my cheeks

 

[HoneyMilk]

Forgot to mention... At my store WoG had a weird coating on it already. It didn't look like finger smudges but like oil from redipping a brush... Has anyone seen this yet?

I really hope so! This would be amazing!

I only bought 2 eyeshadows from peacocky as the texture was nice but I didnt feel like it was awesome enough. However, extra dimensions is fabulous! its sheer if you dont use a base, and so pigmented and shimmery sparkley when you use it on moist skin/base. these are like loose pigments in a pan! love love. I got modern pewter, grand galaxy, blue orbit and warm thunder. spongey soft buttery texture. I also like the imprint <3 worth the $24 compared to peacocky (as I already owned so many dupes for peacocky shadows - i only got the purple one.. and dalliance which is a lot whiter on me compared to modern pewter).

mac did good, but bad at the same time for releasing this with the blush. separately, i would have gotten more eyeshadows. if dark dare, venus and havana are still available much later, i might pick them up.

 

[Piarpreet]

i know there are dupes... but the formula is what made me buy them all. It might make me do my make up more often. like MES do. I kinda dislike having to blend the old formulated eyeshadows... believe it or not

 

[nikkimichelle]
