I hope I don't regret ordering Vanilla Diamond. It's looking a bit lighter than I thought it would.
Yea, it seems like it would work on WOC solely as a highlight. I don't think I would wear it by itself all over the lid.

I think I can achieve the look I'm going for with Summer Honey all over the lid. Simple everyday look with a bit of flare.

I know right? I think after this I'll just get Deeply Dashing and be done with the Pressed Pigments. I'm probably going to try Vanilla Diamond on top of shadows like Soba or Romp to see how it looks. I think we'll definitely be able to werk it. LOL.

Damson is the only one I really, really want. Since I have a love/hate relationship with these, I am going to let Fate decide. If it does not sell out before payday, its coming home with me. If not, then it wasn't meant to be. I could end up getting remorse and hunting it down later, but we'll see. I have a feeling I will snatch up more of these later at my CCO for the discount. (On my list of possibles, this would include Moth, Black Grape, Midnight, and Pink Pepper, Lime Ice).

In part, this has to do more with me needing to cut back on colors I already have dupes of though, rather than lack of enthusiasm for the products because in theory I love pressed pigments. I love pigments in general and the pressed form really cuts down on the mess. But, I would really like to see some pressed forms of my favorite piggies, including some of the less glittery ones, like Cool Pink, Heritage Rouge, Mauvement, Sweet Sienna, Museum Bronze, Fairylite, well, you get the idea.

So far I'm not regretting not getting Lime Ice. Idk why but something about the finish is bothering me. Damson looks amazing in everyone's swatches though. I can't wait to use it!

I originally wanted Lime Ice too, but seeing swatches has put me off! I ordered Pink Pepper and Summer Honey. I will go back ad buy Damson too. All the others I want are permanent, so no rush. :)

Just a quick note because I am still at work. I got my package today and I love what I got (Vanilla Diamond, Black Grape and Pink Pepper). They are all beautiful. I will pick up Damson and Moth when they come to Nordies. Vanilla Diamond is stunning and looks very versatile. Black Grape is everything I hoped that it would be. I can't wait to play with this one. Pink Pepper is my favorite of the bunch. Gorgeous! I want to try it in a look with Hot Paprika and Plumage.

Thanks for these swatches!!! Pink Pepper is next on my list!
I went to my local MAC store today to see these babies in person; here are some swatches on a NW45 skin. On my list to buy now is definitely Damson and Black Grape.

Damson; Pink Pepper; Lime Ice; Midnight; Black Grape and Moth




Damson -- Nice Duochrome with Gold & Purple to me.

I am inclined to believe that the RiRi restock last night drew some extra attention to the PP for Pink Pepper to have sold out

Question is Enlightening a repromote? If not, this was weird, it was in my CCO when I went yesterday! I saw it out the corner of my eye, she was just putting them up. Maybe they don't expect them to do well lol

Did you happen to see how much they were selling it for? I haven't been to my nearest CCO in a long time and have been wanting to take a trip.

Ugh Midnight is SOOOO pretty but I'm really trying to stick to my guns here and pass on it because I so rarely wear blue e/s. Actually, I'm even debating passing on Pink Pepper now in order to save more for PLW and Retro Mattes. Might just be Damson for me!

I initially ordered Black Grape, Damson and Moth, then allowed myself to be enabled (I won't mention any names

) and went back and ordered Vanilla Diamond.

I have absolutely no will power when it comes to makeup.

I'd say you resisted pretty good if you only got 4! Hope you love them!
