The Neon2 pigments are exactly that--NEON! They are day-glo, super bright, borderline-obnoxious (okay, maybe they ARE obnoxious) in terms of just how much color potency they have. Yes, some of you may feel that these colors actually burn your retnas. I bought all six more or less so that I could...
OVERALL, Cool Heat is refreshing. You have colors like Solar White and Warming Trend, which are easily suitable to anyone--neutral and color fans alike; but then you also have Warm Chill, which is a great introduction to color and Gulf Stream and Cool Heat for those who adore bright pops of...
Thanks to MAC, I was able to try out three (Warm Chill, Blue Flame, and Climate Bleu) of the seven upcoming shadows and two of the four (High 90s and Swelter) (five?) upcoming slimshines from Cool Heat! Of course, you know I had to get photos and swatches as soon as I got my hands on them, right?

OVERALL, Tendertones are fun if you like this kind of product. It's a sheer, ultra thick and glossy lip balm. These aren't pigmented--if you have very neutral or low-pigmented lips, they might give you more color than the average person. All of the swatches are HEAVY applications; I basically dug a...
OVERALL, Solar Bits are intriguing, and I think people have to play with them before they can decide they like them--they do seem fairly loose and chunky, which makes them difficult to work with. I intend to try a look today using Black Ore, so we'll see how that goes. My store didn't have the mask...
OVERALL, Neo Sci Fi is much more impressive than the initial addict reaction made it seem. I think many people were thrown off (or turned off) by the bright orange packaging, and it definitely felt like there were plenty who were writing the entire launch off. I have to disagree, because I think...
Here are some swatch photos to keep you on the edge of your seats! Remember, we totally welcome YOUR swatches of the latest MAC launches, too. Post them in the comments or email them to temptalia@gmail.com. Or post them on our forum!
There are fourteen more for you to see...
OVERALL, Naughty Nauticals releases something that will probably tickle your fancy--from the pigments to the pop of red lipstick to the duochrome lustreglass. My favorites from this launch were Loveknot lustreglass, Port Red lipstick, Illegal Cargo eyeshadow, and Mutiny pigment. Anyone who loves...
OVERALL, Dazzleglass introduces sixteen wearable shades of ultra high gloss/sheen lipgloss that's bound to, ahem, dazzle. It's great that MAC introduced so many at once just for the fact that you're bound to be drawn to at least one or two of them! The consistency is thicker than lustreglass, maybe...
OVERALL, Dress Camp is incredibly pretty and chooses good hues/shades to create a very small (and limited!) collection. So while you may have been out of the house while it sold out in less than 24 hours, do not fear, there are known dupes for just about every color launched! I really adore the...
