i want Shimmermoss and Newly Minted
Newly Minted is discontinued, I think, so hurry on that one!
do you know why they are discontinuing it?
They gave the axe to a bunch of Matte2 shadows – not really sure why. I assume they weren’t selling well or they’ll be replacing it with something else this fall/winter (though I haven’t heard anything being permanent this fall).
Wow, Sumptuous Olive is gorgeous! Thanks for the swatches, Christine!
No prob, Leigh!
Sumptuous Olive, Humid and Aquadisiac are so pretty!
Three of my faves!
ugh…now i need Flourishing and Greensmoke!!! I have humid and sumputous olive, which this swatch shows pretty true, i must say 🙂
I love both of those 🙂
Humid and Shimmermoss are GORGEOUS!!!
So true!!
I have sumputous olive and never use it. It looks so pretty that I’m definitely going to use it this weekend!
Aww, you gotta use it for sure this weekend, Jenny!
Newly Minted is a newly dc’ed shade unfortunately
I know 🙁 It sucked, but it was there, so I figured I’d at least swatch it!
I`m in love with Humid and Flourishing. These shadows are gorgeous dark green.
They’re both great shadows!
ah, one of my fav groups! Looks great!
Yay!
I have Greensmoke and Shimmermoss. I think Shimmermoss is just so gorgeous.
Shimmermoss is an AMAZING teal!
Why does Sumptuous Olive look so golden? I can hardly see the olive in it. For more of a true olive, I like overlaying Greensmoke with the light teal-blue from L’Oreal’s Out of the Blue quad (Shimmermoss is very similar).
WHY THE HELL are they DCing Newly Minted?!?! It’s so pretty!
That’s how Sumptuous Olive shows up on me without a base, sorry! 🙁
This is pretty much exactly how Sumptuous Olive shows on me too, without a base or with UDPP.
I need:
Humid
Sumptuous Olive
Good choices, MC!
ahh you made me fall in love with my humid eyeshadow again…that is definitely one of mac’s best eyeshadows to date, in my opinion.
Aww 😀
i have newly minted too , i got it b.xc it is being discontinued, same with clarity e/s. but man that newly minted e/s is just so fragile. i depotted mine and it cracked and every time i swipe it for color, alot comes off.
Yeah, all of the Matte2s are very fragile 🙁
Hi Christine!
Between Aquadisiac and Shimmermoss, which is more of a must have? They look similar except one’s flashier. More multitasky? Ahahah..
And I might be totally wrong. But are newly minted and gulf stream similar except gulf stream is a frost?
Thanks 🙂
Shimmermoss 🙂 Better texture!
Gulf Stream is lighter/brighter.
since you don’t have steamy on here, is shimmermoss very much similar to steamy?
It’s not as dark, but it’d probably be the closest. Steamy is discontinued!
Would you say that greensmoke is more true to colour in the first picture of it (with humid etc) or the second (with shimmermoss)?
With Humid
So distressing that the Matte2 shadows are being phased out entirely. This is one of the BEST finishes that MAC has come out with (certainly better than the regular Matte finish, which is usually very difficult to blend – just compare Carbon (Matte) with Typographic (Matte 2). Honestly, my favourite finishes in MAC shadows have been Starflash and Matte2 and both are history! BAH, BOO!
