MAC - Peacocky discussion

I am so excited for tweet me! Looks like a gorgeous gold that wasn't even on my list before. Top of the posh looks like it may be too pink for my liking.

On my list so far it's: Tweet Me, Odalisque (Can't pass up a metallic teal), and perhaps Dalliance. I can live without the glosses.

Thank you papparazziboy for your swatches and dupe list. Lord knows my camera sucks like a Dyson.
I went to my ProStore today and they had both this and Mickey Contractor out. From this collection I hauled:
1. Noir Plum: I knew this was coming home with me. I'm a HUGE fan of the purple smokey eye and this will aid me in making a softer version of the one in my avatar.
2. Unflappable: On my skin this swatched not so much as a black but as a blackened greyish purple. Again something else to work into a smokey eye.

On the blendability of these shadows.. the two colors I picked worked SPLENDIDLY with each other. I love the texture of these shadows. They are creamy and pigmented at the same time. I only got two but I have a feeling I will be going back for Paparazz-she, Dalliance and Ego. There were a few colors that reminded me of pigments I already own. Namely Tweet Me. It reminded me of Pink Bronze pigment.


Now on to the Kissable Lipcolour...YES PLEASE!!!

These lipcolors remind me of the Dare To Wear ones in opacity. They are super super pigmented and a little goes a long way! They are not sticky in any way, shape, or form. I got two of these as well and again I will have to admit I will be going back for more.
I got:
1. Scandelicious: A blue fushia according to the site. I swatched almost all of the colors that weren't being used or handled by other customers on my hand. Two seperate MUAs came over and commented on how this looked. I'm a sucker for a bright pink lip. Its my "daytime" version of a nighttime red.
2. Flaunting It: A grey mauve. To a lot of people this color won't really stand out. This is great for every day looks. On my lips it comes across as a very stylish alternative to a nude lip but still as
subtle.

Next on my horizons will be

So Vain
Love Peck

I didn't get to swatch Love Peck because this one girl had it in a kung fu death grip and would not put it back on the display. Peacocky is a lovely shade of blue and I'm thinking about grabbing it just to have it. You never know when this may come in handy

can't wait to see the shadows. The formula (smooth creamy, good for the skin around the eye) is what I am going for here, even if there are suggested dupes for them. I know I want Sexpectations. I don't have cranberry and I hope its a richer reddish color on my skin. Spectacle of yourself is beautiful as well, looks like it can be a shimmery neutral on me, Center Stage too. On the fence about Dandizette. I collect blues and this one looks so familiar.

In the long run, I'll be happy with just 2 colors.

Nope, bloodline was a dud. it showed up rather rough and didn't blend well. I like my shadows to make my eyes pop more and it didn't do that.

I used it dry and i am sure i could have incorporated it into some type of smoky eye, by adding a mixing medium to it, but, basically, it seemed like it was too hard to work with initially. for the price and amount of product, it wasn't worth it

@ Dilligaf Center Stage and Spectacle of Yourself could they possible neutrals on my complexion (listed in siggy) Since these shadows boast skin care properties and are 19.00 I would look to haul them to get more everyday wear out of them. What do you think?

Thank you so much for the swatches, paparazziboy!

I'm not even gonna pretend I can skip Noir Plum and Sexpectations.

paparazziboy's swatch of Scandelicious makes me want it, but I don't like it in the skin swatches I've seen. Also, I think I'm back to needing a backup of Love Peck. It just looks way too good to run out of.

Excitement for this one has peaked again.

The only thing I know I want for sure is So Vain. Unflappable crept on my list, I want a couple of the light es but I want to see some comparing with the perm es. Do you think Spectacle of yourself might be similar with mulch color wise?

For Sure:
Noir Plum e/s
Mating Call e/s
Ego e/s
Top of the Posh es
Prance e/s

Maybes:
Sexpectations e/s
Dandizette e/s
Odalisque e/s- I have plenty of teals but this might just be too pretty to pass up!

I might consider Enchantee', Flaunting It, or Woo Me lipcolors. The Shadows are what I've been lusting for

I can't stop looking at Love Peck! In order to afford a backup, I think I'm going to chop Noir Plum and just get Sexpectations (my little red duo) which are the two things I've wanted from the beginning. Also, I'll be getting Marvel from the Mickey C collection, and buying two purple shadows in one day seems like overkill, even to a purple addict like me. If I like Sexpectations a lot, and Noir Plum is still available after I try Sexpectations, I may pick it up if I like the formula.

Thank you, paparazziboy :) Much appreciated

I have to say, though, that I take MAC's "dupe" list with a pinch of salt. Since when is silver a dupe for gold, for example? Any time the MAC site has suggested an alternative for me, it's been way off the mark.
