The gorgeous boxes nestled in tissue paper:




Altered State and Aztec Brick with and without flash:



Plumful:



Shell Pearl with and without flash:

Tho I'm not getting anything from this collection, i typed "snake" in the search box and nothing came up. I typed "year of the snake" and nothing came up. Wtf!?

Unfortunately, the search box is very unreliable when it comes to stalking.

Yeah the same thing happened with strength

I haven't pulled the trigger but I have Freckletone, Plumful, Aztec Brick and Altered State. I wasn't going to get Aztec Brick b/c I have Amber Lights, but I love Amber Lights so Im getting Aztec Brick. Smh

I'm waiting on Archie to launch so I can get Plumful, Freckletone and Shell Pearl with that order. I already have Cockney in its regular form.

If all the shadows are still in stock I'll order it on Friday. I know they are perm but some are just colors I been wanting to get for a while like Carbon. Perfect time since its larger and has a design.

I got Plumful yesterday and its already shipped today. Wooh!

 

[luvlydee]

here's my "pure zen" i guess i'll pass on freckletone!!

Oo pure zen looks nice on u. I hated how it looked on me. Freckletone is warmer than pure zen.

I got tired of waiting for AG to pop up, so I just went ahead and bought my 4 items from this collection. The more I think(wait) about it I might just go to Nordies or the MAC store and get my AG stuff...

Um is it sad that I actually have everything in this collection to begin with?

And is this just another your run of the mill MAC random, "let's churn out a collection for the sake of it" episode? I think so!

 

[melissa20]

i love the detail on the lipsticks!!!

 

[ChosenOne]

No free shipping on PRO, I want SP, but I won't be totally bummed if I miss out on it so I really would rather not pay shipping twice

This was my thinking exactly! So glad I waited and ordered them together.

You are a brave soul

Warrior princess, that's me.

I've never had SP, but I'm getting it because it's so highly recommended (mostly by erine, lol). Maybe once it arrives, I'll love it so much I'll think it was crazy of me to wait to place my order!

I ordered Freckletone b/c of your pic. I'm thinking warmer would suit me better, too.

In that case, what's your take on Altered State and Aztec Brick? I'm contemplating buying those.

 

[AniBEE]

I also order Shell Pearl as the only item I'm getting from MAC till April.

 

[GlamYOURUs]

In that case, what's your take on Altered State and Aztec Brick? I'm contemplating buying those.

I LOVE Altered State! Love doing a smokey eye with it in the crease or all over color. The color payoff is great and this purple color really stands out! Slight iridescence of pink glitter but very microscopic. It gives it a sheen. Plus, it has great blendability!
As for Aztec Brick, in all honesty I hardly reach for it. It's a rusty red/orange or shimmery copper color with gold sheen. I remember it being a Veluxe Pearl finish. It's not really my kind of color. It's very similar to Amber Lights EXCEPT that it has a red tinge to it or a tad more bronze perhaps? It blends well though bc of the finish.

They are both worth buying though but it depends on what colors you prefer!

Hope this helps! =)
