I agree. I enjoy her site, but the swatches sometimes are mediocre. Say what you want about the site that shall not be mentioned, but the swatches are tops. I really want to see some decent swatches. I don't know if I should get Unflappable, though because I had a similar color from Style Black and I never used it. I think I should stick to the colors that I know I need.

Where is Erine, anyway?
I dunno - those swatches seem pretty poorly done. it makes no good sense to swatch a shadow that's supposed to be creamy smooth and blendable on some dry wrinkly part of a hand, then zoom in on top of that (with not such great lighting either). It'd be better to use a smooth patch, like the inside of the arm, for a more neutral canvas.

Even in that picture, you can still see there's a lot of satin shimmering finish, which is really nice. It's just that all the surface reflections are getting stuck in the texture of her hand.

Erine's swatches are always the best (come back Erine!

), and HerGreyness's swatches always reproduce the texture of products really well. Since MAC sent out these products MoaM has, I'm sure some of the other sites that get samples sent will slap up swatches soon. I'd rather they take an extra day and do a good job lighting and photographing them.

I think Erine is busy as she's been working extra hours these past few months.
I miss her too :(

On the musingsofamuse review she said the formula varies between the colours on both the eyeshadows as well as the lipcolours. Like the other shadow was chunky and very frosty and the other one satiny. I have to swatch carefully when checking these out.

I agree Erine's swatches are the best! and HerGrayness pics show texture really well. I'm holding out until i see more swatches. meanwhile, the items Hergrayness recommended items were exactly the ones I had on my wishlist since the beginning :D

Gosh I feel like I've missed a ton! I went on vacation (a surprise) from my parents! Can't wait to see swatches and the info from her greyness (feel better soon!) and hope Erin comes back soon! I miss her! Really excited for the blue lippy! *excited*

Thank you Teresita, but I am back to my old bag lady with the hot pink pants !

If I had a dream about every MAC collection (past, present and future) that I have worked on, I would be in a mental institution.

Speaking of Erin, I do miss her on here and her amazing swatches! Hope that she'll be back on here soon! Now that I saw a swatch of Unflappable, I will get rid of that one and add Tweet Me on my list since it reminds me so much of Twitter LOL

I'm only going to put Peacocky on hold...cuz it's blue. I'm kinda going through a UD phase right now, don't feel like paying that much for eyeshadows right now and I don't need any new shadows at the moment, but that blue lipglass looks interesting.
