I recently purchased samples of the seven new pigments from MAC Overrich, and they finally arrived today!ﾃあ (Quite literally, five minutes or so!)ﾃあ You know I had to give you guys swatches right away! ;)
So here are my quick thoughts on the seven colors:
- Blonde’s Goldﾃあis nice neutral-white kind of color with a touch of warmth in the form of bronzy-gold; it makes a great neutral base.
- Museum Bronze is a deep, metallic bronzy-gold color.ﾃあ I know in the swatch photo it looks rather bronzy, but I swear it seems more like an antique gold shade when I stare at on my hand (then again, the light by my desk isn’t the *best*).ﾃあ Anyway, gorgeous bronze color.ﾃあ It’s probably not a “must have” for everyone, but it is for me.
- Mega-Rich is a subdued coppery orange color.ﾃあ It’s not really like Coppersparkle, just because it has a subtle sheen, no over-the-top frosty shimmer/sparkle.ﾃあ I think it’s a bit more orange, too.
- Copperbeam is a rich copper-burgundy color; I see definite tones of earthy red mixed in.ﾃあ This is actually somewhat similar to Heritage Rouge — it’s distinctly different in a sense, but the two are close.ﾃあ This one has more red-brown to it; it reminds me of Antiqued eyeshadow, actually.
- Vintage Gold is a more antique version of Golden Olive (and less frost in its finish, more subtle sheen).ﾃあ Kind of like a dirty green with lots of gold pearl.
- Antique Green kind of reminds me of Deep Blue Green with more teal and gold in it (I am not saying it is a dupe for this color!!).ﾃあ Maybe a lighter version?ﾃあ The color is very much like a dirty green-teal color.ﾃあ It will be interesting to use this in a look.
- Heritage Rouge is a reddish purple–kind of like Cranberry eyeshadow.ﾃあ Like the others, this has a metallic sheen, but it isn’t too much, unlike some of the existing frost pigments.ﾃあ I think the texture and finish of these alone makes them worth checking out, even if you might have a possible dupe.
Check out swatches!ﾃあ

OMG, Blonde’s Gold! OMG, Museum Brown! OMG, Antique Green! These are all stunning, actually. Even Heritage Rouge… not usually my colour choice/family, but it’s beautiful. I cannot WAIT for this collection to come out, even if it’ll leave me penniless.
Christine
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
Yes, I love them all! They are quite lovely!

How in the world did you buy samples? You must have some sort of thing going with employees of MAC or something. Anyways, you have to do a look ASAP! Strangely, these colors remind me of last years summer eye shadows. Isn’t that funny? I’m shocked, because there has to be more colors than this!
Zsofi
Thursday, July 3, 2008

I’m not a massive fan of pigments on the whole, but I think I may just have been seduced by Vintage Gold and Museum Bronze…

Friday, July 4, 2008
Haha, I think I know where you bought them Christine ^^ ;) ;) !
Well, they will be out in August in France…I think i wil buy antique green,vintage gold,heritage rouge and maybe copperbeam, and then will try to find a friend who buy the others to share ^^
Thay look beautiful, but imo,more the time passes,the less mac make innovation… Blonde’s gold, museum bronze & mega rich seem easily dupable..
Christine
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
:) Sounds like a great haul in the making, Zu!

Friday, July 4, 2008
So excited! I’ll be getting every one except possibly Mega Rich…I’m not a copper kind of gal.
Christine
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
Mega Rich may just change your mind!
Fionna
Friday, July 4, 2008
do you think that Antique Green is close to the pig. teal?
Christine
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
Kind of like Golden Olive mixed with Teal.
Tanya
Friday, July 4, 2008
hmmmmm I think the only color that I am really super duper excited about is Blonds Gold :) But I look forward to checking out all of them in person.
Christine
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
I hope you find more to your liking in person, Tanya. This is how it tends to be for me!

Hey Christine! Thanks for the swatches, these look amazing and i cant wait. Although i can hear my bank account crying already..
What would you compare Blondes Gold to? Its soo pretty, i might need 2!
Christine
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
No problem, Jennifer! It’s like a lighter, more melony tan? Maybe?
Ariele
Monday, July 7, 2008
So pretty!! I think I will end up with 5 of these :)
Christine
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
Nice, which ones?
Teresa
Monday, July 7, 2008
Christine,
Do you think you can do some comparable swatches, I would love to see how they compare to some of the exsisting eyeshadows and pigments. Thanks for getting this to us so early, really helps me prepare my wallet and my husband for the haul!hehe.
Teresa
Christine
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
I will try, Teresa!

Lovely swatches, Christine! I want so many of these, but since most of these will be permanent I’m going to take my time on deciding which ones to get. Right now, I might get Mega Rich, but does it look too similar to Off the Radar? I see Off the Radar at CCOs all the time, and I might just get that one instead of Mega Rich
Dreamerchan
Christine
Friday, July 11, 2008
Thanks, DreamerChan! Where did you hear these will be permanent? Haven’t heard that!
Mega Rich and Off the Radar have such different textures/finishes, it’s hard to compare them. Mega Rich is more of a copper, Off the Radar is a dirty orange.
DreamerChan
Friday, July 11, 2008
I was reading it on Specktra that all the pigments except Mauvement and Mega Rich in this collection will be permanent at Pro Stores.
And thanks for the comparison, I think I’ll just get Mega Rich :)
Christine

Hi Emily,
They’re utterly lovely! But luckily six will be permanent at PRO stores.

Christine
Tuesday, July 29, 2008
