Every collection Carbon gets worse, lol.
I’m pretty sure a charcoal briquette would swatch better than that.
How does an established brand screw up their black eyeshadow so badly?
…and keep trying to foist it on us in LE quads and repromotes when it is still so crummy (and possibly getting crummier)?
MAC making a good quality eyeshadow quad. Who has ever heard of such a crazy thing?
I totally agree.. :0 …
Just ordered Banafsajie. Nice of MAC to name an eyeshadow after me. But then who can blame them. 😉 j/k.
Rimal dahabia quad looks good. The other looks a mess! Of course will wait for reviews. 🙂
Love the vibrant colours of these eyeshadows.
Hehehe another bad looking release of quads by MAC….
Hey they are re-releasing Parrot huh? Oh well, I still have plenty of my old one left…
Banafsaji and Gameela look pretty, but I probably have dupes, so I’ll wait for your review. 🙂
that purple reminds me of one of the Urban Decay shadows, maybe one of the palette releases?
Maybe the deluxe shade Ransom?
I have ransom and its decidly more purple, deluxe fridgid would be closer in my opinion but I can get that one from Urban Decay for 6$ still
I think you’re right. I have all the deluxe purples somewhere, and I can’t keep them all straight. I knew it was one of them and not Fishnet!
That Beautyburst shadow may be on my to get list
The individual eyeshadow actually look like good quality, holy crap!
And the quads at least feature a few colors of good quality, which is a change! Plus, while carbon looks sub-par, it doesn’t look as bad as it has in many recent quads (not saying much).
The single eyeshadows look great… The quads not so much…
Banafsaji and Parrot are my top picks, they look so divine! Looking forward to reading your reviews, Christine. 🙂
they are not really trying anymore are they 🙁 these are all from the last few collections just renamed..
YES! Smoke Signals and that Hot Chocolate one!
WTH has happened to Carbon? It used to be the go-to matte black eyeshadow. The payoff now is awful.
I’m a wh*#e for any purple eyeshadow. I don’t care how close they are. I must have them ALL, so Banafsaji will be mine! Muuahahaha!!!
Farasha is such a gorgeous color. I might have to pick that one up and try to incorporate it during the upcoming summer.
beauty burst is being repromoted from Barbie!
the quads names are all Arabic and even the single eyeshadows (except parrot)I can translate the names for you:)
Banafsaji means purple, LOL
Farasha means butterfly
Gameela means beautiful (for female)
Hajar Karim means gem stone
Masat al Lail means the diamond of the night
Rimal Dahabia menas golden sands
hope you find that helpful
Thanks, Yasmin! 🙂
Christine, I noticed on the MAC website under this new collection that the Brow Fluidline is there as well. And I loveeeee this eyebrow product that I bought another one just now in my color, Deep Dark Brunette. Any idea if this will become a permanent product?
Sorry, I don’t get any inside info on what MAC is thinking about making permanent! 🙁
Diamond of the night is such an evocative name.
I think that name is the nicest thing about this collection LOL.
I forgot to mention Najm el Lail Eyeshadow from Rimal Dahabia Quad, which means the night star 🙂
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I hate it when English language-dominant companies use non-English terms (including various Asian scripts) and don’t translate them.
Christine, in the materials you got, are there any definitions? I didn’t see any on the site, so my apologies if MAC supplied the info already.
No, they didn’t provide any translations!
Yuck. Those quads look terrible. I could not justify this purchase.
The Banafsaji one looks absolutely gorgeous but otherwise meeh, some of the colours look okay I guess..
The single shadows swatch beautifully but the quads, once again, look quite disappointing…
Do mattes go on the eye nicely? I feel like when swatched in the shop they look really ashy on my hand 🙁
the single eyeshadows definitely look interesting!
