MAC really needs to have some sort of tamper proof seal though. I am sure lots of the product was returned due to this.

I find the messy state of the palettes to be a bit shameful - it's just sloppy and totally unnecessary. It certainly doesn't look good. Mine's not too bad, but it is rather dusty (from the shadows) and a bit uneven.

No regrets that the palette was already sold out when I went to the counter and store, although it was what I planned to get from this collection.

I'm definitely still very happy to have it. I like the colours.

 

[Miss QQ]

They are! I especially like Nylon, Bitter and Going Bananas. Oh well, more money for other collections.

Enjoy your palette!

How can you tell? The product doesn't go all the way to the top of the pans, and their all little squished out peices on the edges of the pans, not much bet noticeable if you look close. I looked at some photo's of other pallets on spectra, Manish ones, and I see some of those pans look simular. I think this is just the way the product came. What do ya'll think?

Mine came like this also, it was really messy when I opened the pallet.

I also CP'd one for another girl, I hope she doesn't think I opened it or anything. I opened the delivery box to check both items were there but never looked inside the product boxes.

It's a beautiful bright coral orange. But, you can sheer it out with just one application. Its really very pretty on.
HTH

I still can't find the pics of my makeup wearing this collection!! They're so pretty too. Hopefully I'll find them soon. =(

 

[LP_x]

Ooh I'm looking forward to the pics Bunny!!

My palette was a little messy too, but mainly little specs of Bitter on the mirror. I still love it though, even if only for Going Bananas

 

[BaDKiTTy69]

I finally had the time to play with my Manish Eyes Palette yesterday. And I have to tell ya all that I love it! The colors are amazing! Maybe I will post FOTD a little bit later tonight.

 

[LadyFaenyx]

They look even prettier on than in their package!

I got the eye shadow palette and "girl about town" lipstick and they're gorgeous, very popping and cute colors. I missed the blushes though, but I'm gonna get them from ebay.
I just went to ebay to check on the collection and surprisingly the prices of everything including the eyeshadow palette, the blushes and the lipsticks have dropped significantly, compared to how expensive it was back then when the collection just came out. And no one's bidding on it so YAY, I'm gonna get the blushes soon!!!
