MAC - Holiday 09: Magic, Mirth and Mischief (Holiday Sets Part I) Discussion

[sleepyhead]

i got bored, so i decided to swatch the pigments in the pigment/glitter set.
haute high jinks warm:
L to R: jardin aires pigment, rushmetal pigment, copperized pigment, museum bronze pigment, reflects gold glitter

cool capers:
L to R: kitschmas pigment, fuchsia pigment, grape pigment, deep blue green pigment, reflects transparent teal glitter

sexpot smoky:
L to R: naked pigment, sunnydaze pigment, chocolate brown pigment, dark soul pigment, reflects antique gold glitter

 

[sleepyhead]

in case if someone didn't know
copperized and museum bronze are similar except that copperized is a little more green/olive

rushmetal is almost identical to copper sparkle (permanent)

grape is VERY similar to push the edge and entremauve, but grape is neither lip nor eye safe (at least the one from the pro line)

They would do that! as I had a qualm yesterday (See B2M thread)

MAC should! Maybe I will live chat this suggestion tomorrow.

thanks for the pigment swatches! I really want the warm and smokey!

 

[GlamQueen21]

The swatches of the pigment sets are gorgeous! Even though I'm skipping them since I own a few pigments and plus I can get some of the pigments in those sets later as well as Reflects Gold and Reflects Transparent Teal.

Someone mentioned earlier that Museum Bronze and Copperized were similar. In my opinion they are COMPLETELY different. One is bronze the other is a beautiful warm olive-golden green.

I don't have Grape or Fuchsia & I love those cute charms. More than likely picking up the Cool set. Plus, they are the perfect size, since I don't use pigments all that often!

I have finally decided I would not be getting both mineralise kits. I swatched both MSFs, again

, and I don't want Light Flush. I want Shimpagne but not Nuance and Play on Plum. There are two new MSFs coming in Warm and Cozy, and By Candlelight looks promising.

Shimpagne is really gorgeous though, too bad!

I am hoping, against all odds, that we get the collection this week too

Susanne, happy hauling and I have to second everyone else - you look lovely with brown hair!

LMD84, happy hauling to you too

I can't wait to see the collection with my own eyes

 

[Shoelover**]

the face kits look yummy. i hope there is a suitable shade for nc37.

 

[ElleStar04]

I changed my mind! I want the sexpot smokey piggies instead of the warm one!

 

[rbella]

I went, I saw and I swatched. Honestly, the eye palettes were a bit of a let down for me. I know this sounds dumb, but it annoyed me how easily "finger printed" the cover gets. Besides that, the shadows seemed crammed into the pallettes and none of the colors really overwhelmed me.

I would recommend the pigment sets if you don't own the colors. Or, one of the msf's. I thought the packaging of the eye palettes were cute, but not cute enough to buy.

hhmm well it depends what you are into... pigments are always nice to start off a collection with. and if you don't like a colour that comes in the set you can give it to somebody else as a little gift

i'm excited about the gloss sets! this year all 3 look fab!

 

[chirufus]

Thanks LMD84. In fact I already have quit a lot of Mac stuff. That's why I find it so difficult to chose. I think I want buy any brush sets because I bought the 3 sets from last year and and I have a ton of other brands that I also use a lot. I loved the cool eye pallet from last year it's almost empty... snif snif. Sometimes have an allergic reaction to the lip products...so I want buy any of theme either. Always use the tinted lipbalms (love theme). So more money to spend one ES and MSF I think.
