Swatches of the eyeshadows




TOP ROW: Winterized, Frozen blue, shimmer mint, aqua from surf the ocean pigment stack (very different)
LOW: mineral mode (semi precious), Snow season, fresh ice, hold that pose (my veining made it look very much like frozen blue)




SNOW GLOBE is extremely subtle and it makes me think of it as a soft sable (the lippie)'s BP version. It's like the perfect every day highlight, nothing really noticeable. I'm more into the drag queen kinda highlight but.... I'll keep it just so I can have the packaging.

SOFT SABLE: I'm impressed when i layered it over lipsticks... it makes them frost without the overly silver/cheap frost color that ELOQUENT AIR gives. I really dont think I like the second very much.... I might return it or swap it.

DOUBLE SPIN: lighter than fleshpot but its the perfect pinky nude for the pale gyals.... if you are not pale, please do skip....unless you are going for a dead person look. It is not one of those nudes that "you can make it work" for your skin tone. It's a no no for somebody over NC/NW25. The finish is awesome and that's why it makes it the perfect nude for somebody light.
Thanks a million for the comparison swatches of mineral mode and snow season. As I am also a mineralize junkie I really appreciate it! Going by your swatches snow season looks lighter.... Do you think it is worth having both?

Wonterized on lid lower and upper , snow season on crease....double spin on lips...

on cheeks i got gold go lightly as contour, miss behave as blush, snow globe as highlight (REALLY packed)


Down here with soft sable... which I kinda like on its own ...its unique but for layering over purple lippies is quite amazing.

piarpeet.. you are gorgeous and you have the perfect face for these colours.. and you are young!

I have all these in my sample boxes (white plain and ugly) but I have not worn them.. yet. Probably won't as they don't go with my ceegar, rose and pink pants.

You just convinced me to get Double Spin.

Do you think it's close to Innocence, Beware?

And I really like the veining of your HTP.


You look stunning in your pics, now I want everything you're wearing there, LOL.

For anyone who ordered todasy, how long did it take MAC to send you an order confirmation? I ordered about 3 hours ago and I still haven't gotten an email and I'm scared it didn't go through or something..

Thanx! Yah I'm loving it. I put with my ring finger a tiny amount of frosty pink eyeshadow in the middle and OMG it looks amazing. Mine got a LOT of the dark veining which i dont mind, but that's what i got from my online order. I think im somewhat happy with it. I dont like my HTP but I think winterized is a MUST

I dont have innocence beware hun so I cant tell you. But it's just as light as supremely confident (sheen supreme) but with the pink hint. Seeing T's swatches i'd say its very similar.

^^ no, it's not like Innocence beware.. it is more of a pink whereas IB is more of a beige with pink undertones.

Piarpreet- beautiful photos. Great to see the shadows on someone with similar colouring and I love the idea of putting winterised on the lid and a lighter colour in the crease. Loved your swatches with mineral mode. Do you think it is worth getting snow season if I already have mineral mode?

I will get Double Spin then. And if I remember correctly, IB will be repromoted next spring, so I shall get that one too, since I've always regretted not getting it with VV.

THANKS SO MUCH PIARPREET!
If you had to say waht the predominant overall color of your Winterized is, what would you say? Purple, charcoal, etc? I know that is going to be the e/s that I buy 5 of to get all the possible combinations of veining

Piarpreet, you look stunning. I can't get over how pretty your eyes are. And thanks very much for the swatches. As my list for GP grows, I'm trying to convince myself to skip this one, but it is difficult... I'm a Libra. We're not good at choosing one thing over another. We'd rather have everything.
