MAC Metal X 2011 Discussion

Hehe, only a few selected product. I usually only buy a few products, but of those, I get lots of BU's.

And the products that did not swatch well or that are just not for me, oh well, I just ignore them.

i'm just joking! i need your opinions because i can never get to a store myself!

XD Clearly- eight Lightscapades? <3

You should definitely shop with me.... I always make up my mind about what I want before I go and get it regardless of how bad it feels. XD I need the voice of reason!

I love cream eyeshadows, so I'm definitely interested. I just hope this new formula is crease-resistant.

Any pics yet? I'm hoping these ones will be more like paint pots because the other ones are very dry and i used gilded ash the other day and had to use my fingers. It was so dry, my brush wouldn't pick it up!

herGreyness mentioned that the formula is slightly different, but still bleh (not those exact words lol but close) So I'll be passing this collection. Which is good cause I only wanna haul from DG in December.

Another one that's an easy miss for me then. I have trouble with cream shadows at the best of times and after my Big Bounce experience, I'm not really eager to try out another Mac formula.

Yeah the big bounce are really weird. I got 3 of them, never used them but they swatched sheer. So i decided to pull out Count you Assets and Rich Thrills, swatched them, and they were pretty bold! So i thought ok, they swatched well on my hand, they will be great on my eyes. But they still suck!! I used primer, i don't even have oily eyelids, and they applied so patchy and creased. Why do they swatch so nicely on my hand but not on me?? I thought maybe they got "better with age" but they still suck. Major fail for MAC and i really was optomistic about these. They should\e made them into a harder mousse texture like BE's Buxom ones. Really hoping they seriously improved the formula on these new metal-x ones. I hae cheap cream shadows from ELF that are amazing compared to the crap MAC has been giving us lately but some of these new shade descriptions sound amazing!!!

Any pics yet? Going crazy here!

EDIT: Found a pic but not sure if its 100% reliable. Found it on: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9923083428

the colours look so nice so it will be so hard to skip... but i must because i know they won't work for me!

 

[chromatrix]

I loved my Metalblu, Cyber & Plum Electric but they dried up so fast I had to B2M them barely touched. I adore the MUFE Aqua Creams & have had zero problems with them drying up before I finish them. ( Yes, I have finished the lilac one & am on my second. ) So a really good cream eyeshadow I am totally in favor of but I was so burned on Metal-X before no way I would touch these.

THIS!

mine dried up really quickly, so unless the formula was changed, i'd be skipping these.

^^ no comparision of the MetalX formula with the MUFe.. the MUFE is hands down superior.

 

[Piarpreet]

no kiddin both MAC and NARS have bad creams

[HOTasFCUK]

Yes NARS cream shadows are really bad!!! They are so sheer and greasy! Cream shadows don't crease on me....only NARS!!

 

[Jennifae]

In that case, I'll stick to my MUFE Aqua Creams.

Those babys are crease city and so were the MEtal X for me. I will have to hear some hellagood reviews on these before I buy them. The colors do look pretty and exciting. I don't worry about oily lids, but when these baby crease, they make my lil ole eyelid wrinkles look like canyons.

See my problem with cream shadows isn't creasing but this weird thing happens if i try to layer/blend them with another cream shadow or just eyeshadow is that they go all chunky! Its so gross and i notice it happens mostly with the Benefit ones. It looks like hard little chunky spots or like alligator skin! Its awful and i end up having to wipe it all off and start over. I have no clue why this happens or what i can do to fix it??
