Finally got the rest of my stuff today.  This has been one of the best collections MAC has done in a minute. Pic on the left used the nude shadows and wholesome lipstick, stylish me.  Pic on the right added brazenly to the crease and put on restrained lipstick
You look beautiful!! Lippies and shadows look awesome on you ;)
I finally received my 2 tiny purchases. But very content. Exposed e/s and Stylish me blush! Love them both for WOC. And stylish me is more than what I expected...it is beautiful color and everyday wearable!
Aren't they gorgeous? I'm loving Stylish Me blush too :eyelove:
I'm loving the crap out of my metallic shadows. They make my hazel eyes pop!
They are so gorgeous!! I'm sure your hazel eyes are going to look so awesome ;)
For comparison purposes.  Swatches left to right: Sweet as Cocoa, Stylish Me and Raizin.
Nice swatches DeeDee!! They compliment you very well :)

I'll try to swatch it tomorrow if someone else doesn't do it first. Show-All is a good one to pick of you're only getting one. I like Pre-Raphaelite also. Dominate is the only one that hasn't met my expectations (on me). It just doesn't pull purple at all on me.
I may consider Show-All then. I really never used deep deep color lippies so for me I'm on the fence... I think I'm going to go ahead and give it a try and see.loll.. It can either look good on me or not right? :)

Curiosity... I been checking too and it's been going fast. Did you grab Restrained?
I finally remembered to try Restrained on. It's almost my skin color lol.

I think restrained is a nice color when you have a smokey eye. But like someone mentioned do not put too much of it. If someone has spectacle of yourself mega metal eyeshadow and deep fixation could you do comparison swatches? I am at my sisters place so i cannot do comparisons swatches. i hope it is different . i might actually get show all since a lot of you seem to like it but I do like subverted,thanks to Liba . I do have some regret regarding not picking any of the nude eyeshadows.

Subverted is fantastic - glad you like it! Show All is a little more subdued than Subverted, but I did wind up wearing it the other day and it's a good choice for a vampy lip that doesn't read too harsh or goth or nighttime-only. If I'd seen the collection in person before I bought, I probably would have passed on Show All, but now I'm not sorry I have it. If you have Hipster from a few years back, you could probably use that instead.

No pics, sorry - but I do have both the eyeshadows. Spectacle of Yourself is a redder-based brown than Deep Fixation, which has some subtle yellow undertones to it instead. DF is a little darker. I definitely am super happy to have both of them - probably the two best brown shadows I own, when I think about it….

These are very close! Spectacle of Yourself is more metallic. I just bought Spectacle of Yourself a few weeks ago and haven't actually worn it yet.

I bet this would look good with the new bubblegum gloss in sheen supreme.
It'd certainly depend on your pH….I wore Bubblegum all day yesterday and it started out sort of soft, pale blue pink (when it had looked more like Fashion Scoop csg when I first tried it), then as the day wore on it became brighter and darker until it was totally different, more like Star Quality. It was pretty cool, but yeah, might be weird over lipsticks.
