Togetherness! I’d use the pale shade with some winged eyeliner for day and then vamp it up at night by adding the grey in the crease and the deep blue as eyeliner!

I would start with the green trio!
I have brown eyes and green is a color I discovered looks rather good.
I actually don’t own any green shadow myself but Ive used my sisters 🙂
I own one min/ shadow in pink split and i cherish it, it’s actually almost gone. I would be so greatful! I also tweeted/already a follower!! (@hunnylovins)

Thankyou so much for the opportunity x !!

I already bought Soften the Mood and the color is too light but I still use it for a neutral look. I would most likely try Style influecer first because i saw a lot of videos on that and the colors are awesome and pigmented.

M Avatar

I would definitely use Togetherness first. I’m obsessed with all things purple. I even have purple everyday glasses. Purple = love. lol

Sandy Avatar

I’d use the In The Groove trio for sure, since those colors are right up my alley, but I’d also like to play with Calm, Cool & Collected. Those greens might be too cool for my skin tone but it would be fun to see if I could pull them off.

Lorena Avatar

I would use In the Groove first. I always try first the ones to do a quick and easy make up for the day, then I set the inspiration free.

monika-luiza Avatar

I think I would use In the groove first, as it would totally suit my green eyes. I’m not quite sure but I think strangely most colors from this LE would work. . .

Kimberly Avatar

I would definitely use Togetherness first to make a smokey purple eye to fit the dress I have hanging in my closet for the perfect birthday look (August 8) =)

Ameera Avatar

Hi girly, thanks so much for being so generous. I would most definitely wear Blue my Mind first. I played with it in the store, beautiful texture and colors. Thanks, once again.

Courtney Avatar

I don’t know!!! I’d probably go for a rose combo or the green one. Ooh but there’s the purple and silver one…OMG too many to decide!

Astra Avatar

I would use calm, cool and collected. I dont have many green eyeshadows and I would love to see what I could come up with that trio 🙂

Victoria Avatar

I can’t wait to try Togetherness first!

BTW Christine, Temptalia website seems to run much slower with the new server! Is it just me or do you notice that too?

Fabienne Avatar

I would wear the Calm, Cool & Collected Trio because I feel that with my NC45 skin color, as well as brown eyes- it will make them POP!!! Plus, green is my favorite color of all time- doesn’t matter what color green it is.

I could also see myself wear the Style Influencer and do a cute look with it. I would put the brown color on the lid, the navy blue in my crease and outer v. Lastly, I would put the lightest color as my highlight, as well as in the in the inner tearduct!

Amber Avatar

I would use Togetherness first, because I’d love purple colours.
I would use the satin lavender colour on my whole eyelid,
the pearly purple colour in the crease and the satin grey colour as eyeliner. I love it! Great give away!

Dee Avatar

i would use “In the Groove” first because i love any make-up with a peachy-tone color. plus the redish-brown color with it adds a kick that would make any eyes look beautiful but not too harsh. the golden color is also light enough for my liking.

Alexandra Avatar

I’d use togetherness for sure ! The colors especially the middle one is an amazing purple blue which will match my dark brown eyes perfectly as yours !

kali Avatar

Wow! That’s a lot of trios to give away. I would try In The Groove first as I’m a fanatic for anything neutral.

Thanks for having this giveaway. I’d probably faint if I won!

Audri Avatar

Style Influencer looks FABulous! The wine, sea blue, and bright white highlight would be perfect together or alone. I’d sooo play with this one first.

Linda Avatar

I would use Togetherness first because I was wanting it when I first saw the promo pictures for the collection, but ended up passing because I’m on a low buy. I love the color combination and I’m just a sucker for purples 🙂

kasiaj85 Avatar

Definitely In The Groove! First – it’s a warm, summery, nice combo. second – the collection is named after it so there must be something special in this one 😀

Marissa Avatar

i would use the trio of calm, cool, and collected becuase im only in middle school so i dont want the colors to be to bright and i have dark brown eyes so all shades of green make them pop(:

Wavy Cats Avatar

Soften the Mood, surprisingly enough.
I’m a green e/s fiend, and while I love Calm, Cool & Collected, Soften the Mood is calling to me for some reason.

Jessi Avatar

I would use Togetherness first because each color is uniquely beautiful with just the right textures for each to look best – it’s beautiful!

(I’d use Style Influencer next, because the blue and the light grey are really pretty too)

goldfish Avatar

“togetherness” would be my first choice. i have dark chocolate eyes; the divine combination of lavender, deep purple and slate grey would make my eyes look sensually beautiful. i would wear it with urban decay’s matte e/s in foxy to highlight my brow bone and smoke the outer corners of my eyes with too faced deep space e/s. i would also wet the deep purple e/s and line the upper lash line, smoke out the bottom half lash line with the grey e/s and use the lavender e/s in the inner corners to brighten my eyes.

Kirstin Avatar

Please enter me!

I’d definitely reach for Togetherness first…purple is my favorite color so the royal purple & soft lavender in the trio catch my eye.

Aimee Avatar

i’d definitely go for style influencer 🙂
i think the shades in this especially THAT blue would really emphasise and complement my dark brown eyes! and its not too crazy, so i would really wear this as an everyday combo.. yay 😀

Alycia Avatar

I LOVE “Fresh & Easy”!! I’m big into pink and blue as a combination, and I think that the burgundy would be a great eyeliner!! 🙂

Shannon Avatar

I’d for sure use Togetherness first… I’ve been lusting after the middle shade the most it but I just couldn’t afford it this time. Togetherness Togetherness Togetherness!

Suzy R Avatar

Ok, so that’s not in the “winning” group — but if I had my choice of them ALL, that would be the one I’d choose… Of the “winning” haul: Togetherness — for shear drama

Christina Avatar

I would try Togetherness first.
maybe followed by in the groove hense the collections name. haha

but i have to collect all the colors first because they are so gorgeous

Camila Avatar

Hiii thanks for doing this giveaway! im excited! and the first trio i woulde definetly use is “cool” because it has sooo pretty colors 🙂

Linda Avatar

Probably in the groove since that seems to be the easiest color to work with for me. (Never tried mineralized shadow before, so that would be a good place to start)

Stella Avatar

An amazing giveaway, thank you Christine! 🙂

I just bought In the Groove yesterday and it really is lovely! So first would be in the groove but a close second is togetherness! All so beautiful!!

Louise Avatar

Oh goodness difficult question, Id’ want to play around with all of them. but if I have to choose I’ll go for In The Groove!

Lisa Avatar

If I had the opportunity to try a MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow Trio from their collection, In the Groove, I would love to try the trio, “Love to Love.” The colors are just gorgeous, but hey, all their colors from this collection are gorgeous! I never tried a MAC product (or any high-end cosmetic brand) before and having the opportunity to win a couple of MAC trios is great!

Sarah M Avatar

I entered! I would LOVE the Togetherness trio, i’m very into the purple shades lately, so that would be awesome!

Beautiful website by the way! I also retweeted this for you 🙂

xxx Sarah

Petra Avatar

I’d use In the Groove first, because I love those pastelly baby pinks on my colouring, and I’m intrigued by that yellowish-greenish mustard colour. Also, this trio seems foolproof and effortless, without all the foiling etc.

Tina Avatar

I will use In the Groove first ! It’s perfect for my medium skin tone and my brown eyes. Thanks for your giveaway, u are so generous and and sweet. Have a nice day <3

Yaël from France Avatar

Style Influencer, I wear it today. Very simple : the bronish colour on the lid, the mat ligh blue under my browbone and the dark blue like eyeliner with black mascara.

Diana Avatar

I’m in love with all of these trios!!! 🙂 I used “In the Grove” first – went to a wedding and wore a deep pink/redish dress and the middle burgundy color really popped!! 🙂 Would love to win 4 new trios!!!

Shaz Avatar

I would love to win these trios they’re gorgeous, If I do win the first one Id play with is ‘In the grove’ its a great combo and its the signature from the collection so in my opinion the best place to start, thanx 🙂

Bailey Avatar

After getting over how overwhelmed I’d be by so many awesome shades, I’d use Style Influencer first, because it isn’t a combination I’ve tried (similarly) before! I like to challenge myself to grow bolder in my cosmetic choices.

My Avatar

would use “In the Groove” first. Its a pretty blend of natural colors that I can wear in the daytime, smoke out for night time. I also love that its 3 colors in one… my bag and shoulder will thank me for the lighter load!

Lulu Avatar

I’d use togetherness 🙂 It was the one that drew my attention right away when I saw the collection, I admit, part of it was the name, I’m a big sucker for cute names 🙂

crystal Avatar

dude…i can’t even pick a taste of icecream at the icecream parlor…having all of these will be like in that icecream parlor 🙂
guess i wil use whatever appeals most to me at that moment 🙂

catherine Avatar

I have actually never tried MAC cosmetics and would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win!
Since my favorite colors are pink and purple i would try togetherness then fresh and easy 🙂

Elena Avatar

i’d probably use in the groove but, what i really like is mixing colours and playing with them, so i’d probably use all at the same time!

Lisanne Avatar

If I would be so lucky to have these trio’s (or even one!) I’d use Togetherness first ’cause of the puple-y goodness! I really like that shade of blue-ish purple and the other colors in the pan really look great with it. But it would be hard to choose because all of these mineral eyeshadows look fab!

I follow on twitter and retweeted the message 🙂

Teresa Avatar

WOW I love all of these!!! I wanted to use Calm, Cool & Collected with the Photo Realism quad…but I’m sure I would use Togetherness first! The lilac with they grey and then the darker purple is just soooo pretty! I think these colours look awesome together!

Coco Avatar

I’d use Calm, Cool & Collected first because the greens give me this sense of serenity + I think they make my brown eyes pop more than blue or purple :]]!

Louise Avatar

I’d use Style Influencer first because the blue shade is soooo pretty (especially wet!), and though I don’t normaly go for dark shades, I would wear this one with confidence!

claim Avatar

First I’d use Togetherness! Because I simply Love it and don’t find it anymore in the Mac near to my home! So I hope that I will be lucky this time! Thank you a lot!

Kristi Avatar

Definitely ‘Love to Love’. The colors work together to make a totally wearable look, really great for the summer. Can’t get enough of that bronze! Thanks for everything, Christina. 🙂

WithIt Avatar

I would use “soften the mood.” I have blue eyes and blond hair and I LOVE wearing soft brown, gold-y/bronzy-y colors, and light blue as a highlighter!

WithIt Avatar

Haha! Sorry Christine! I just re-read the giveaway and saw that “soften the mood” wasn’t one of the options. Duh!! 😉
In that case, I would love to use “in the groove” first! Super-classy colors! 🙂

Anita Avatar

I’d definitely try Cool, Calm, Collected. I looove greens! My eyes are weird – from a normal distance it looks like one is green and one is brown, although really one just has a brown spot that has spread. I like wearing greens because it seems to emphasize this.

Denise Briseno Avatar

I would probably use In the groove first for my everyday looks to work! colors are beautiful and then probably Togetherness or Style Influencer for dramatic night time party look.

Lana Avatar

I’m stuck between “In the Groove” and “Calm, Cool, & Collected” as I like more natural blended colors and these are the colors I mostly wear for my outfits. So I think I’d choose either one of these shadows to wear first. 🙂

Sowmya Gopalakrishna Avatar

Oh what lovely trios! I would so love to try out Togetherness first, such pretty purples and lilacs couldn’t stay away if I wanted!

Thanks for this awesome giveaway 🙂

Gia Avatar

Id use In The Groove first because it’s so unlike anything that I’ve ever tried! This would be my first mineralized eyeshadows that I’ve gotten ever.

Dee Avatar

will that be on this page or another post? sorry, i guess i’m just excited to know who won or if you are still picking a winner.

have a great day!
