I love how you can achieve full looks from just 1 eyeshadow pot, but unfortunately I dont like the texture of mineralize shadows. I will have to check them out in person!
i’m not a fan of mineralized eyeshadows at all — but omg these are soooooooo smooth and buttery.. still a tad messy.. but such an improvement from the past MES! I got natural flare and eccentricity!
I’m glad you like ‘em better this time around! I am hoping it is the same for me!
They’re so tiny, though. I mean, more than I’d use up I’m sure, but such a small area to use each color from.
wow! speechless!!!
Like ‘em?
i was going to just pretend this collection didn’t exist, but i want all those blushes!
LOL! Nice try
Okay now I want the entire collection!!!!
LOL! You can resist, I know it, Katey
Just a few things, right? *wink*
Great, I am going to want like 75% of this collection!
LOL! Aw, Kelly!
I thought I was going to be able to skip this collection, but Fashion Patch and Girlish Romp call to me…
Uh oh, Elizabeth
You can resist…!
Just got a whole bunch of stuff. It’s gorgeous
Nice!
oh very excited now I ordered the 226 , odd bits, porcelain pink and triple fusion -hurray up and ship it MAC UK
Yayyy!!
I thought I would love this & totally don’t. All the MS F/E/B are glitter bombs, especially the MSFs. Hardly any payoff on anything. I only ended up getting the 131 brush.
Really? They seemed so much less glittery than ones in the past to me – more sheen-y than glitter-y.
THANKS CHRISTINE I KNOW SWATCHES CAN BE TIME CONSUMING AND YOU ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST ON DA REVIEWS =) ON ANOTHER NOTE IMMA HAVE TO GO CHECK OUT THE PRODUCTS TODAY TO SEE WHAT I LIKE INSTEAD OF PAYDAY WHICH IS NEXT WEEK. HOPEFULLY IM NOT DISSAPOINTED.
I’m happy to help, Aramis
Let us know what you think!
Thank you very much for the swatches Christine. You are awesome as always.
My pleasure, Laura!
I was so disappointed with the Porcelain Pink! Almost no colour, just some glitters :S
And the blushes are very similar with previous collections…
But I love what I got: Hand Finish and some lipsticks and lipglosses
It is a paler pink – probably one of the lighter shades released this time around!
Luckily for me I’m only really interested in Cheeky Bronze msf and Madly Creative lipstick.
But I do want to see colour crafted and made with love lipsticks in person.
Phew
Omg! There are some fabulous colours here! I adore Eccentricity, Girlish Romp and Smooth Merge! I have ordered all the eyeshadows and MSFs, but didn’t order Style Demon as I thought it might be too dark, but it’s so pretty, and I also didn’t order Nice mix up and Pretty pattern, but I’ll definitely be going back for Nice mix up! Warm Bland MSF seems very dark, but I just couldn’t not get it, it’s so pretty (not like Brunette was, I didn’t get that, it was too dark and bleugh). Thank you so much, now I’m even more excited about my delivery tomorrow!
Yayy! Let us know what you think once you’ve gotten a chance to play with your haul!
you’re the best Christine!!! thanks for these swatches! *HUGS*
Thank you so much for all your hard work Christine! The swatches are so helpful
No prob, SarahT!
Thanks Christine ! Pretty !! Can’t wait for the lip swatches.
No prob, Claudia
YES you made my afternoon!
Aww!
Electric Edge looks like what Fast Friends WANTED to be from the Hello Kitty launch
DD
Thanks SO much for these swatches. You never take a break
Haha!
I want the blushes so bad! They’re all so beautiful
Which ones do you think you’ll buy, NikNik?
It’s all so gorgeous! I’m sketchy about Assemblage MES. Is the grey shade a gunmetal silver color or a taupe? In swatches from other sites it was taupe. Also, is the gold a pure gold shimmer or a yellow shade? Ugh! Can’t wait for your review Christine – I’m on the fence about what I want to get. I’ll probably buy dupes when I have money and gift cards in December.
Hm, for me, it was pretty silver. I wouldn’t call it gunmetal though. More like Fineshine eyeshadow, I guess. The gold is slightly yellowed, though not superrr yellow on me.
I think “Hi” meant…gray shade from the assemblage shadows…as in the brown-gray one…not the silvery white one…because the brown grayish shade I was also wondering if it was a taupe or not. o_O
IMO, it’s kind of a pewter-bronze shade to me. I wouldn’t call it just gray!
I wasn’t sure which she meant initially, but it just seemed so brownish to me that I didn’t think it could be that one!
blushes, skinfinishes and lippies for me- i’m kind of disappointed with the e/s
The eyeshadows are so-so — I am hoping they will at least work better than previous ones!
Not a big mineralize person and will probably get next to nothing from this collection, but I am VERY impressed with the pigmentation of the glosses. They look so cool! Ummm, Eclectic Edge? It looks like Stars N Rockets in lipgloss form! How COOL! Man, I have to admit I love all the glosses. I may have to get one or two.
I’m not really a mineralize person either! But every year… they sucker me in. I keep hoping I will fall in love, though.
Christine, I am so glad I stopped by my MAC counter BEFORE you posted these! I probably would have broken the bank!
But I’m pleased with my Triple Fusion SF and the 187 brush I have been lusting after, time to save up for fall’s fabulous collections!
Haha!
gr8t swatches xx
Like the pigmentation of Assemblage. Not a MSF person: I have 20 and never use them! I find most too shimmery. Also sketchy on triple l/g! Bought 2 from Sugarsweet collection and they are the most disappointing products I have EVER bought from MAC. No color payoff at all! So, will skip these newer ones.
LOL! Wow, 20!! Sounds like
Lots of them and never use ‘em.
i want like……
everything.
Uh oh, Evelyn! You’re in trouble now!
The triple lipglass is more pigmented this time around (thank God), and the MES’s are smoother with a better payoff than in the past…and the Warm Blend! Awesome for darker skins w/o looking too ashy! Finally!
Yayyy
Sounds like you found some things to like, KP!
Though I did spend a pretty penny ($40 for a brush – MAC, you hurt my heart… and wallet), I actually ended up getting less than I initially thought I would. I was SURE I was going to pick up Porcelain Pink (my skin color is porcelain and I love pink!), it barely registered when I swatched it. It was like a less pigmented (and, ok, less shimmery) version of the NARS Hungry Heart duo. So… skip. I also only picked up 2 of the blushes (Daft Pink & Hand Finish)… I thought I would like Fad-dabulous but it looked too brown and muddy on my skin, and Style Demon did end up being too dark. But… along with those, I did pick up Smooth Merge, Triple Fusion, Cheeky Bronze… and I managed to snatch up a perm (Warm Soul).
Luckily, none of the eyeshadows or lip colors called to me. Phew!
Porcelain Pink is pretty light – they definitely could have repromoted another older, previously released mineralize skinfinish and gotten much more fanfare over it!
I’m with you on Fad-dabulous and Style Demon! I definitely feel like Fad-dabulous might end up muddying my skin tone
omg…my delivery got delayed til monday!
these swatches make it that much harder to wait!!!
OH NO! That sucks SO much, Zebo! There’s nothing worse than having to wait over the weekend
I wish you patience!
YOUR PHOTOS ARE GREAT!!!
Thank you!
Thank you for the swatches Christine – you have confirmed that I need to order more from this collection!
Happy to provide ‘em for you, Laura!
Deffinetely getting Warm Blend MSF! and the 226 of course! I have to wait for my paycheck tmrrw!!! I’ll be at MAC by 3 picking these up! yay!
I’m so glad you are getting the 226
Christine, I wish you would rub the colors on your hand, to see the color better!
natural flare min e/s has truly the best gold colors ever!
What do you mean rub the colors? If you could tell me a bit more about what you mean, it would be a great help!
My swatching procedure is usually one or two finger-swatches of color — I’ve found anything more to be more misleading. I know I don’t want to see this great, intense shade… that took ten layers to get there! I wouldn’t want to purchase something that required that much work
I bought 4 of the blushes and 2 of the skinfinishes. What brushs do you use to apply these? I have tried a kabuki, a 188, a fluffy brush. I must be doing something wrong. These are the first ones that I have ever bought. All I seem to get is a lot of shimmer/glitter. Is there a trick to applying so that you don’t look like tinker bell threw pixie dust in your face. I also tried applying them with my finger but once I try to blend them the color goes away and I am left with just shimmer.
I use the 188 or 187 typically, or else the 116 blush brush!
You can also use them wet if you’re finding you’re not getting enough color when you use it dry!
Everything is so beautiful!! Smooth Merge is for sure going home with me and Porcelain Pink is a maybe. Checking account is not going to like me very much
LOL! My checking account never likes me either
Nooooo you make me want the whole collection Christine!
Sorry
i got ALL the eyeshadows n absolutely LOVE THEM. also Warm Blend MSF looks amazing as an all over glow. loovveee <33
