MAC - Fashion Flower Discussion

Here's a link to Temptalia's review of the Twists of Tartan palette that included Bows & Curtseys. I'm not in love with the pigmentation, but maybe they'll have improved it in the meantime.

oh well i shall be skipping the dark green. the payoff isn't so great and i have deep blue green pigment anyways. i was just hoping the shadow would be a dupe for it so that it's easier to work with than the pigment. money saved once again!

Free to Be=Deep Truth=Showstopper.... LOL! I wonder if we will see Showstopper again this year. HMMMM...

haha! this is so true! oh, we will see it. it's like when you're little and there's that one aunt with the mustache who always wants to give you a kiss... you want to get away but there's no escape!

That is just awful how badly B&C swatched, there's like zero pigmentation!

All of the eyeshadows mentioned in this collection are permanent or repromotes, so I did some digging..

I have the Twists of Tartan eyeshadow palette. Bows & Curtseys is one of my favorites. It comes off very pigmented on me. I wore it on St. Paddy's Day. All those shadows seem very pigmented to me & I love me some pigmented eyeshadows.

Lucky Green is very pretty! I didn't pick it up last time, I might do this time.

 

[RealDoll]

OoOo Lucky green looks gorgeous

glad most of these are perm shades. A lot of people have been complaining lately about too many LE items and lacking quality products from the perm collections since everyone tend to be in frenzy mode. Hopefully this will give others a chance to check out some great permanent shades!

 

[BeckyBenett]

will the prices of the eyeshadows be more expensive with the flower imprint? if so then ill just get lucky green in the normal form.. it will be great to save a bit of money...

 

[2browneyes]

I guess I'll be skipping this collection. I have LG, B&C doesn't seem to be all that must have and I dn't think I need FTB so....$ saved

 

[silentstorm143]

Does anyone know what else might be in this collection or are the eyeshadows it?

 

[EngineerBarbie]

Gonna pass on this. I can get Lucky Green in the pro pallete pan and Aqua I scored at the CCO. I have Free to Be and am in a love/hate relationship with it. I love the color, hate the lousy payoff (Matte2's spoiled me rotten).

 

[2browneyes]

^ What else did you find @ the CCO and which one did u visit?

 

[EngineerBarbie]

^ It was my first trip (the one in the Franklin Mills outlet mall). I picked up e/s in Aqua, Going Banannas, Firecracker and pigment in Mutiny. I saw lots of shadows from the In The Groove collection and Dare to Wear and tons of Tartan Tale sets. I also saw the Band of Roses blush but passed on it.

 

[2browneyes]

^ Thx....I'm gonna have to stop by there again soon.
