Funny you should mention that, I just checked the site. There is nothing there yet. As it stands right now, I am planning on purchasing the metallic e/s (still on the fence on the brown one), maybe the metallic lips and the metallic blush.

What are you guys getting?

Probably nothing, I need more swatches! :/

I'm really up in alms with this collection, I've been stalking, but nothing's coming up for me either (I'm Pro). It looks like Pro or non-Pro, this collection isn't appearing until the 18th, which is okay by me because I'll have a little more to work with by then #payday

I received my goodies late yesterday. I will try to take pics today when I get home from work. I can't guarantee the quality of the pics though. I am rather photo challenged.

This morning I used two products from this collection. I used Deep Fixation in the outer v. Must say that this shadow was not what I expected. I was hoping for a really dark, metallic powerful brown. It is nice, but not as dark as I would hope. I had to darken a bit with a black pencil to get the look that I wanted. I need to play around with this shadow some more.

I also tried Dominate full strength. On me (NW 15) it is a blackened, dark, metallic purple. A wearing all black, sitting in a dark smoky club, listening to the Cure or Ramones type of purple. I had to tone it down for work with a little heroine.

I haven't played with anything else yet. Like I said I will try to take iphone pics and post them later today.

Are you disappointed with your goodies so far? Do you kind of wish that you wouldn't have gotten them???

I have a little bit of trepidation regarding how good these products are going to be. Are any of you guys getting the same feeling? I don't want to miss something really cool, but my concern is that if I don't get it as soon as it hits the site, it will be gone for good (or until a repromote).

Do any of you find it interesting that there are so few pages of posts for this collection as compared to all the others? Maybe nothing will sell out. It's a gamble. What do you think?

BTW, speaking of collections, is everyone out there excited for the "Temperature Rising Collection"? I certainly am. My wallet will be taking a huge hit on this one!

Hope everyone is having a good day out there!

I ordered all eyeshadows from a MAC pro store. They rung them up Friday, put the label and tracking # on them, but forgot to give them to the UPS pickup. Called today, they're just sitting in the store.......Ooops, I hope they send them out tonight or they can just return them on the spot

 

[cr8zy4MAC]

May I ask what are the names of the swatches, please? Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with this information. I know we all really appreciate it very much!

I am trying to upload more pics from my iPhone. Sorry for the quality of the pics. It is impossible to catch an accurate pic of the metallic sheen in an iPhone pic. All colors are very pretty but much lighter than I thought they would be. Keep in mind I am nw 15.

 

[Haven]

Stupid technology! Only let me upload one pic so far. I will keep trying.

 

[cr8zy4MAC]

Technology isn't all that it's cracked up to be sometimes, is it?! Sometimes it can be a real pain in the butt! Are the swatches on the bottom row lipsticks or shadows? I am really liking the looks of the first and third swatch on the bottom row. Thanks a bunch!

Ok iPhone not cooperating now for whatever reason. I will try again later to upload the rest of my pics. Swatches of subverted and dominate in top. Shadows are from left to right ct, df, ll, brazenly, and bc which you can barely see on my skin. All metallics shadows are gorgeous but much lighter than expected. They all have this sheen that can't be captured with an iPhone. Hopefully someone with a better camera will get a chance to take pics. Edit: Fixed my post. Guess I forgot which side is my left vs. right LOL

The metallics look great! Thank you for your swatches, Haven!

Which store did you order them from? My store (SF) said I have to wait until Thursday

No problem! I only wish that my phone was cooperating right now. I will try again in a little while to upload more pics (zoom ins and in pot pics). I was initially a little let down b/c the metallic shadows were lighter than what I was expecting. The lighter color, however, will make them easier for me to wear everyday. Plus they are all extremely pretty in person. I am on the fence about the nude shadow. It can be used to highlight on me, but that is about it. I probably could have passed on that one.

I love Heroine ls a lot, so I suppose my Heroine obsession is clouding my opinion of Dominate. I like Dominate, especially with a light purple gloss on top, but it is not love yet. I haven't worn Subverted yet with a full face on, so I will have to reserve final judgement until tomorrow.
