Although I suspect it’s fallout city, Sky is just gorgeous with the gold shimmer! Astral and Galaxy Rose are pretty too! Look forward to the reviews
Thanks so much Christine! You are SO on top of everything!
Just to let everyone know, Supernova just sold out on the MAC website. Hopefully everyone who wants it already ordered it!
I hate mac i dont know wat to leave
THANKS A MILLION for these early swatches Christine!!!
THANK YOU, Christine. I’m sure there will be plenty who will not be happy by the fact that you do thorough and not rushed reviews, but I appreciate your efforts (which will be Herculean given a third MAC collection in a month.
Thank you – we appreciate you.
Great timing!! I just placed my order now before everything got sold out! Thank you!!
This looks Ahhhmazing!!! The eyeshadows “water” and “sky” definitely grab my attention
Oh my god, these look gorgeous! I’m usually not a big fan of MAC, but wow!
Thanks for cranking these swatches out Christine!
Christine, I just want to thank you for all your hard work in ordering this collection and swatching it really fast! We really appreciate all that you do!
Cut a Caper lipstick is the only thing that caught my eye. Everything else looks too frosty and shimmery for my liking. And as usual for MAC mineralize collections, the eye shadows look like they will apply poorly dry… will wait for reviews, but most likely a pass on this collection. Kinda relieved since I’ve no money anyway. The products look extremely pretty in the packaging as a whole though!
It may be my computer but the picture for Celestial Sky cremesheen glass isn’t loading, just an FYI
annnd now it’s working, so it must have been me. Also I got the name wrong–clearly not my day.
@blueraccoon Fixed!
I want to order now so bad but know I should wait to hear christines dupes.. I probably already own something like magnetic attraction but grrr want it so bad!
I like one blush and one shadow but both are so much like other items I have that I will probably pass on this one.
Christine – do you have any info on the results of that “vote” thing MAC did about which past favourite LE products they would repromote? It was the feature with Moth Brown as one of the choices.
@Mariella No info on the results, sorry!
@Christine (Temptalia) Aw – I was hoping there might be some news. Thanks for letting me know, though.
Interested in Star Wonder, Supernova and Cut a Caper!
magnetic attraction, venus, and cut a caper!!!!!
Some of these look nice. I like Cut a Caper–it’s a pretty color and I like the sheerness of it (I prefer very sheer color on my lips). Light Year and Star Wonder are pretty–but looks like it will be a bit too shimmery for my taste and will highlight my already large pores. But, those shadows look amazing! I try not to purchase baked formulas if I can help it, but the shades of these are so unique and pretty that I don’t think I will be able to help myself! I’m eyeing Bright Moon and Sky (such a unique, lovely shades of blue!), Earthly (who doesn’t love a good taupe?), and Universal Appeal
Usually i fall in love with mac lipsticks. But in this collection, OMG, i loved the MSFs and blushes! Amazing colors. ^^
And you’re super as always, congrats for the fast swatches, they look amazing!!
Hugs
Universal appeal and Magnetic attraction look lovely!
Thanks so much for the preview Christine!
How fun, Im fore sure checking out this collection:)
Wow those swatches are truly beautiful, well done.
Christine, you are amazing! I purchased three shadows, but I need the lipsticks! I’m going to have to beat everyone to the mac store next week! I’m still impressed at your dedication and speed… that is why I visit this site every hour! lol.
You are AWESOME! Thanks for all your hard work!!!
That was fast! These look amazing.
Thank God I held off on ordering until I saw swatches. I didn’t like most of the products swatched that I thought I was going to get. My wallet thanks you once again Christine!!! Now to go place a much much smaller order. lol
Thanks for getting these swatches out, I’ve been so curious, I ordered Cut of Caper and Pleasureseeker so far
You’re the best <3
I was excited for the MSFs, but none of the swatches strike me as something that I’d actually wear. Most of the eyeshadows are quite nice looking, though I am not planning on shelling out the money for them (same with the lipglosses). I am, however, strangely attracted to Cusp of Dawn and Pleasureseeker lipsticks. I have a feeling that they’ll dry the absolute hell out of my lips though…I shall await the review !
Neo Nebula and Venus are <3! Thank you for the preview!
This collection looks lovely! <3
The sky and water eyeshadows look beautiful (I can’t believe I like a light blue eyeshadow for once). Lipstick swatches are a bit meh, but they’d probably look nice on.
I’m just not sure I can get past how these look in the pan. I think they’re pretty, but pretty in the same way as the $2 ‘colour swirl’ lip-glosses I used to get as a kid, or pretty like the hippy knitted clothing you see at music festivals and the like…
So pretty!!! Thank you so much for the preview, and for reviewing these!
It makes me really sad that I’m broke and can’t have any of this. =/
The face products don’t interest me at all, but Sky looks like UD’s Money! Some of the lippies are intriguing.
I’m definitely getting the Supernova Mineralize Blush and Cut-a-Caper and Pleasureseeker lipsticks! I can’t wait to see lip swatches of the Astral and Meteoric Cremesheen Glasses as well. I never touch the mineralize eyeshadows I have so I’ll pass on those..
It’s official, I want every lipstick now. I initially wanted cut a caper because I missed out last time… my wallet T_T
Supernova is sold out! I’m sooooo glad I purchased before viewing the swatches! Looks like a gorgeous blush!
I need all those eyes shadows. Soooo pretty.
Swatches already? Geez, you’re like the Chuck Norris of beauty blogs. MAC doesn’t have release dates – they just wait until Christine of Temptalia stares them down into surrender.
OMG – I had to LOL at the “Chuck Norris of beauty blogs” comment… THAT was priceless – and so true… Christine = Beauty Ninja
Best Mac collection in a long time! Loving the msfs and the blushes, a couple lipsticks too.
@TMBJessxox I bought ever single MSF. Didn’t particularly like Center of The Universe, but that’s my nickname to some dear friends, C.O.T.U. LOL! I had to buy solely for that reason.
@TMBJessxox Every MSF, not ever MSF. I hate typos!
I wasn’t even aware of this collection until I did my nightly Temptalia check and saw this post. some of these look nice, and I’m looking forward to seeing your reviews :]
THANK YOU CHRISTINE! Especially for paying overnight shipping charges, so you could get these pics up as soon as possible… These photos are BEAUTIFUL!!! Super Nova is already sold out on the website… So glad I picked it up yesterday…
@Cathy Blanton I paid overnight shipping for the first time ever on a MAC order. Tired of waiting for the Pony Express to deliver to Nebraska. MAC Cosmetics should LOVE Christine for the business they get from her hard work!
@divinem1 @Cathy Blanton I haveeee to overnight everything (well, or 2-day) if I order from MAC. Ground takes like 10 days, I swear.
@divinem1 LOL. I feel you on this comment. Ground is like 7-10 days, but my Sephora and NARS orders come ridiculously fast for some odd reason. I get NARS within what seems like 3, and Sephora comes around in 4-5.
OMG! That’s all I can say!
Not feeling the blushes of MSFs, so I’m glad you put up the swatches. But I am really liking Universal Appeal. I was loving Neo Nebula but not sure if it’s worth it considering it doesn’t look very good applied dry.
Thanks, Christine! Universal Appeal looks really cool when wet. I think the star of this collex is Earthshine. It’s very unique. I’ve ordered Water and Bright Moon but I’m holding off on everything else because I won’t know if it’ll work on me until I go to the counter.
I must have been living under a rock because I hadn’t even heard of this collection until today! Shot a huge wad, got everything I wanted, thanks to Christine and her fantabulous, wicked-fast swatches! Thank you so much, Christine!
@itsbl0ndie lol nvm hahha thank youuuuu so much doll!!!!
@BrunettteBarbie your welcome love!!
Some of the colors look promising -can’t wait to hear whether they have staying power!
I’ve regretted not pick up cut a caper lipstick when it came out in the Tartan Tale collection; I’m so glad it’s finally being re-promoted. It should be be delivered by the end of the week
This photo is beautiful
I’m in trouble…
I hate their Mineralize stuff. Always looks so great in the pan, and so disappointing when I use it.
Some of the blushes and lipsticks look really great.
Don’t these eye shadows remind you of Milani’s baked marble shadows? Some of the colors are very similar too! Hmm… I love MAC Meteoric Cremesheen Glass though, very pretty and sparkly!
@Budziak Milani’s shadows came to mind for me, too! At least I can save a few $$$ there.
Just when we start getting tired of Mac’s less-than-stellar collections, they suck us back in… tricky people, they are! xD
@CaseyCODay I love your “stellar” play on words — and no truer words have been [written]. I was one of those complainers saying, once again, “I’m so over these LE releases.” Then I find myself crazily searching for early swatches and placing a massive order to ship overnight. LOL Famous last words!
Just when we start getting tired of Mac’s less-than-stellar collections, they suck us back in… tricky people, they are! xD
Love the blushes, they look so intense! Meteoric Cremesheen is also really pretty.
It’s a good thing I get paid in a few days! Also, I’m so tired, that I initially read “Cusp of Dawn” as “Cup of Doom”!
mac venus lipstick is beautiful.. i just hope it isn’t a ‘my lips but better’.. when applied.because that shade of pinkish red is lovely. its not a permanent color is it?
Ahhh!!! I cannot wait till they are in store. Thats why I love your site, you have all the up to date news in the beauty world. WOOT WOOTT!!!!!
Christine, girl, you are wicked awesome! I didn’t expect to see a review until next week. Once again, you’ve exceeded my expectations!
Is it bad that I’m not that excited for this one? When I heard about the collection I was pumped, but now looking at the swatches I’m a little on the fence. I like to buy things that wow me, especially when I’m living on a college budget haha. I guess I’ll have to wait for the final review! Looking forward to it
Me too! Looooved the concept, but most of the mineralize products looked a bit… Disappointing! Love Astral and Meteoric gloss, though, and I do think I need Cut a Caper……
I did a double take.. another MAC collection and I hadn’t even heard of this one. Christine another marathon review session?? I don’t know how you do it, but I’m so glad you do. I see one product – Meteoric Creamsheen Glass.. wow!The lippies look pretty, but appear to be like a Lustre finish which on my lips equates to a waste of time and money. The eyeshadows awfully attractive in an arty way, but gimicky. I’ve never purchased a Mac mineralize product ever! It should prove interesting to see the reviews, but it’s fab to get pictures and swatches together lighting fast!
please please do reviews and swatches for the skin finishes. i missed out MAC skinfinish in whisper of gilt. the lipsticks look v pretty too.
Meteoric looks fabulous!
I already know I want the Meteoric Creamsheen Glass. Can’t wait for this to come out in Germany…
@DeltaCephei Ik HOU van die collectie! <3
@timbunink Me too!
I wanted to stay away from MAC for a while, but now I kinda want Bright Moon and the Venus lipstick…Well, I will wait for the reviews before I make a decision. Thanks for your work, Christine!
Sigh, Supernova is already sold out =[
The blushes and glosses look really nice
waaaaaaant all blushes and skinfinishes and glosses. lol
This comes out 2 days after my birthday, happy birthday to me!
LLEGARA A ChILE???
this is a super gorgeous collection!!
This is unbelivably beautiful
@Hagebutterchen Die haben mich allerdings sehr ernüchtert, die Swatches!
@SorayaLovesLife ach paar sachen gefallen mir schon, zum glück nicht mehr, wär sonst echt teuer geworden. siehs so ;(
which lip products was the model in the heavenly creature ad wearing because these colors look NOTHING like it.
The pictures of the actual products looks beautiful, but the swatches nothing special! is it just me? I’ll try my best to skip this collection
Swatch like the wind, Christine!
@etaoin Ain’t that the truth? Nobody can touch this girl. She’s always top notch, high quality, doesn’t skimp. She does what she loves and her passion shows! Go, Christine! */* */* */* <– Cyber Cheerleaders :D
These are super pretty! Thanks so much for putting up swatches. I really want to go pick some of these up after seeing them on.
Cut a caper is the most interesting to me. For some reason I just can’t get excited about mineralized collections.. the MSF always seem to powdery to me.. Thanks heaps for all the swatches, Christine!
x
I absolutely love this collection! I actually love everything about this collection which hasn’t been happening for me lately, they’ve had a few misses in some of their collections
Will this collection be in Nordstrom at all?
@NicoleCaraballo It sure will be!
Christine – Thank you SOOOOOOOO much for all of your hard work!! Yours is the one website I go to for reviews and dupes and swatches, and I know it’s stressful and time consuming. But you do such an excellent job and I just wanted you to know how much I (and lots of other people!) appreciate you and all you do!!!
Rather disappointing. These always look so much nicer in the pan. When applied they look fairly generic and nothing special. So many indie companies are coming out with more interesting/dramatic shades and color shifts at more affordable or comparable prices. I look to MAC for something unique, and I just have not been seeing it lately.
I’m in sooo much trouble!
What a gorgeous photo! MAC Cosmetics should be paying for advertising because that picture alone makes me want to buy EVERYTHING!!!
I’m not loving this collection. It’s kind of hit and miss for me. A lot of the products look great in the pan and then when swatched, look like a lot of the products I already own. At this point the only products I’m liking are the Supernova blush and Solar Ray blush.
As always Christine, you are fantastic! Thanks for getting these up so quickly. You work so hard!
Star Wonder Mineralize Skinfinish looks like nars orgasm
@angelbaby2535 I have both. NARS Orgasm doesn’t come close. It has much more gold and peach — and is more chunky — in texture. I was very pleasantly surprised by Star Wonder.
@divinem1 thank you
Magnetic attraction is absolutely stunning! I cannot wait to get my hands on that! Do any of you have a guess for what the model is wearing on her lips? I LOVE that juicy berry shade.
@divinem1 I have no idea – but maybe Rebel Lipglass?
I thought this collection was awesome looking, until I saw the swatches, in the pan everything looks great… But then when you see it on the skin, its just kinda.. whatever. Great job though Christine! You got these out quick time!
The only semi-interesting things I’m probably going to look at are the lippies…
Everything looks gorgeous! I haven’t been this excited over a MAC collection in so long!
The colours look amazing! Looking forward to the detailed reviews! Thank you for all your hard work and for giving us all this little preview haha
OMG why did I see this? I’m gonna get bankrupt…… LOVE LOVE LOVE msf in Center of the Universe, Blush in ring of Saturn, cremsheen glass in Meteoric, cut a caper lipstick and that eyeshadow with the lime green swirls in it!
@SaraMUp Julio, se rumorea el 5! Pero no se sabe nada..
bright moon *_*
Oh my God…it’s all so beautiful!
Turns out I love all the Cremesheen glasses I bought (didn’t get Celestial Kiss).
This was a surprisingly exciting collection for me. Invincible Light MES, although beautiful on, is a glitter bomb. I’m going to give it a few tries with some mixing medium, but I have little patience with fallout, so I will return it if mixing medium or some other base won’t eliminate the fly away glitter.
Hope everyone gets what they want from this collection, and thanks again, Christine, for all your hard work!
I’m sooo excited to see them IRL
My favorite so far is Magnetic Attraction
@Kaktusbluemchen Magnetic Attraction is SO gorgeous! It’s the only one of the MES I’m keeping. The others were very disappointing, but I can’t get over how beautiful Magnetic Attraction is in the pan and on the eye!
Wow – those colours are AMAZING!! I’ve got my eyes on Neo Nebula & Sky in particular
