Best of MAC Dazzleshadow Extremes
Here’s a look at how well shades from the new MAC Dazzleshadow Extreme ($20.00 for 0.05 oz.) formula performed — they’re listed from best to worst. It was supposed to have an “extreme molten metallic” finish with “12-hour staying power.” They can also be purchased as pan refills for $9.00; I had to purchase two shades in the pot-form because those shades weren’t in stock in pan form at the time!

Yes To Sequins, Celebutante, Joie de Glitz and Illuminaughty all made it on to my list for a future MAC haul!
I love the Incinerated shade, as being that bit more unusual and was disappointed in its performace. Couture Copper and Joie De Glitz are well rating and lovely.
