Can’t wait to see swatches of these. Right now I’m wanting so many of the eyeshadows. Not sure about the skinfinishes, though – metallic might be a bit too much on my old face
HI are these eyeshadows a new type of texture? first time im seeing a MAC shadow with MAC embossed on it.
Looks awesome. I am curious about those Skinfinish powders in metallic! Can’t wait to try them.
These look ridiculously pretty! 😀
WoWWWWWWWWWZERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! The e/s look so awesome. Okay, so I basically already have those colours (or close to them) but I am a sucker for texture (and packaging) and I’m thinking I need these … Even though I know I really don’t! *LOL*
Exactly my own thoughts too!
My thoughts too. These are beautiful and I bought all the Estee Lauder L.E. e/s like these but I can’t resist. Hey, I could tell myself it is an Easter Gift to myself. 😉
Most of this looks nice, especially the skinfinishes. But the line hitting like a month after it hits USA counters in here gets me much more excited!
We shall see how are the pigments! Colours seem to be good but, yeah pigments 😐
I don’t understand why mac makes the rest of the world wait a month (or even longer for some countries)… By April in England we’ve already had our spring and are in early summer. The tour de fabulous(?) collection only came out here a few days ago and that was like what December? One of the few issues I have with mac – just as well, I’m not too fussed with this collection (can’t decide if that’s a good or bad thing!)
I agree! We have to wait so long to get the collections in the UK. I dont really understand why it takes so long. And then we have to pay loads more too! 🙁 But I must say I love the look of those eyeshadows. Very interested in seeing more details and some swatches nearer to the release time x
Yes but then you get to see the swatches online and reviews online and make a more informed decision!!
For me,is better,because i have the time to see swatches and reviews.Ι will get the products i really need, before they disappear from the shelves of Mac counters in Greece.
Another collection already??
Are the shadows in creme form or powder? Thanks!
they’re powder! just super soft, like a “super veluxe pearl” finish i’ve heard 😀
Whisper of Gilt is… I think it will be the only thing that I absolutely need from this collection because it’s an MSF and it’s gold! I’m NW-15, but yellow toned gold seems to run alright on me… I don’t know if the pinker MSF might be a smarter choice for a highlight?
Looks stunning!!
Oh noes! This is gonna be expensive. I want everything!
How big is these?
the same size as the mega metal eyeshadows I think
Hmm. I wonder if those new eyeshadows will be a variation of the Cyber eyeshadows put out by Estée Lauder? If so, I am ALL in.
probably they’re run by the same company 🙂
WOW!!! Love it
yay finally some cool looking stuff!
Wow! I’m curious to see some of these eyeshadows swatched. They look really gorgeous!
These are kind of eye catching… But who knows how they’ll end up performing
can’t wait for the review or more info!!!!
They look like Estee Lauder’s gelee products! Do you think the fornula will be similar? I really hope so because the second skinfinish looks like the Modern Mercury one ( in color) 🙂
If these have great staying power unlike metal x shadows, I am all over these. Im already eyeing a couple of shades. I can’t wait for ur review.
i was so proud of mac for doing so few collections…but they are back at it lol if this one is good though i won’t complain it looks nice
those look good….in photos anyway
Are the brushes going to be permanent?
these colors all look familiar… reminds me of the metal-X eyeshadows
Hmmmmmm. I am a sucker for MAC eyeshadows but lately the collections have been un-impressive. So much so that I haven’t bought anything from them in about 6 months. This might be worth checking out. Of course, I’ll have to wait for your review. Thanks for sharing.
these eyeshadows look gorgeous!!!
I really want that Whisper of Gilt MSF, it looks amazing.
These look an awful lot like the Estee Lauder cyber products. That’s a good thing 🙂
Oooh. Those shadows are pretty! I’m really hoping they end up being something like the mega metal shadows which are my fave.
I’m interested in seeing swatches for those skinfinishes! Still looking for a good highlighter that isn’t glittery or too shimmery.
I just love metallics!
Whoa! Those are awesome! Really loving that last one, it looks like you can see hints of lavender and blue in that purple. Hope it performs well!
Those shadows look like the Sephora chrome shadows… Hm… Can’t wait to hear more
These look super gorgeous!
I love the designs, hope to get 2 of them before they get sold out!
If the first 3 are skin finishes I NEED ASAP!
Ooh, looking forward to swatches!
Wow, I wonder what these products will be like. Hard to say if I’m actually interested in this collection yet. The colors are pretty, but they look very metallic.
Hm, I’m curious to see this collection, actually! I hope these products will be good; if the shadows are $20, they better be. Kind of annoying MAC’s not putting out regular shadows much anymore. I’m curious to see what Dark Dare looks like since it’s described as “glow.” If nothing else, I’ll probably grab the #128 this time around; I’m just not a fan of the split sidedness…it’s like a brush having an identity crisis and can’t decide what it wants to be.
I’m actually really excited for this collection, I love metallic finishes!
“Young Venus Charcoal black (Metallic)”
I think that one is wrong. it should be “pale white pink” via specktra.net
Looks like MAC is attempting to give Sephora’s Prisma shadows some competition…at $5 more per shadow.
Well, the Sephora ones are knock-offs of the Estée Lauder Cyber eyeshadows, so if anything MAC is keeping it in the family. 😉
I’m super excited for the formula of these.
Do you know if the shadows are cream or powder?
These look super pretty! The formula looks like the Metal X eye shadows. Is it a cream formula or just a very metallic-y powder? Superb looks amazing!
These look like they could have an interesting color/finish when applied. Can’t wait to see more!
Can’t wait for swatches!! the eyeshadows look quite pigmented from the official photos, but of course we all know that doesn’t always translate to real products..
It looks like they copied the new Sephora eyeshadows.
The Sephora ones are knockoffs of the Estée Lauder Cyber shadows. =)
Or to be more precise, the Sephora ones are near exact dupes (even in terms of aesthetic design) of the Kiko water eyeshadows, which came out last summer, I believe.

Love the Sephora shadows! They are $5.00 cheaper than these…and noticed this week there are new “summery” colors like coral, orange and brighter bronze…and they are 15% off right now.
But there is no Sephora color like Modern Pewter!
love love love it all!!! wish there were nailpolishes too!
These look cool, let’s hope they don’t suck! lol
Oh my god. These look so gorgeous! They may have to be my first MAC purchase of the new year!
me too! 🙂
Lovely! I haven’t purchased anything from MAC for some time now. None of their new and constant collections have caught my eye. But now – I think I may need a few items from this collection. Thank you for sharing!
yay i get another chance at getting the 128 =D.
Whoa! it’s been a while since I’ve lemmed any LE MAC. This is gonna be good!
OOOO finally a collection that looks amazing! (well not the packaging but the shadows themselves) =) Yay!
At first I was groaning because it’s *another* MAC collection, but then I saw they’re repromoting the 128 brush! ECSTATIC. I bought both the split-fibre eye brushes (two of my favourite eye brushes btw, 234 is particularly brilliant) from Semi-Precious but regretted not getting the cheek one, stoked I will have my paws on it finally. =D
These metallic shadows seem right up my alley 🙂
Wow, these are pretty!
I’m so looking forward to the new MSFs, or Extra Dimension Skin Finishes to be more precise ;D This formula is going to be amazzzzinggg.
Wow these look gorgeous! Can’t wait for them to sow up in stores!
hmm…will have to wait till you review them christine. if you say they are nice then I might have to make those eyeshadows my first mac purchase for quite a while.
I remember split fibre brushes came out in a collection a while back… I wonder if they’re any good! I’m in the market for a good blush brush.
Skip em. Get the MAC 129. It’s an amazing blush brush that gives you a soft and natural glow or 116 if you want more concentrated color or have smaller cheeks. The split fiber brushes seem cool and useful but they are subpar and I find myself rarely if ever reaching for them. They just look interesting.
I bought two of each of the split fiber brushes when they came out the first time and I HATE them. I am a sucker for brushes though and bought them because I for some reason want to have every brush MAC makes so I couldn’t pass up on them. But it just sucks because I never use them so it was a big waste. Definitely the worst of all of MAC’s brushes in my opinion.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let these have a powder finish!!!! (and not a cream one that creases like heaaall)
Wow with all that assortment of colors I don’t know where to start
Wow~ This collection looks amazing! 🙂 Can’t wait for it to be released!
Wow! $24cdn is pretty steep for a single shadow, but Rich Core is calling me. Luckily for me, there is a MAC counter just outside of my school that opens at 8am!! That means no more missing out on the LEs. I can get them first thing in the morning when they are available to the public! What a great way to begin class in the morning, eh?
Does anyone know if these are regular powder style products or are they a cream finish? Could really tell by the look of the pictures 🙂
Thanks!!
Omg!!!!!!!!
pretty colors!
Just when I’d given up on Mac eye shadows…. Hmmmmm we’ll see.
Can’t wait to see the swatches. I’m going to probably pick up all 3 skinfinishes and probably 3 eyeshadows. The brushes I already have from Semiprecious..
When will you know the official launch date, Christine?
What I need is a pallete to hold all these bigger eyeshadows. I unpot them all and put them into a pallete but need the security
Hey Christine,
Random question but where do you usually purchase your MAC brushes? MAC stores? Nordstrom? or Online?
Where do you find is the best to purchase MAC brushes / products?
MAC stores or MAC online – I’ve never noticed a difference between where you buy them as long as it is through a MAC retailer.
Just got to play with part of this collection as well as some of the new “reel sexy” collection that mac has coming out! 😀
Looooove the extra dimension shadows and skinfinishes they are just gorgeous! The texture on both is SO smooth and buttery <3 and the colors are so pretty! Some of them you have to see in person to see the gorgeous multi-dimensional color they have (like blue orbit, it's an amazing, shimmering blue/lavender).
The "reel sexy" stuff is pretty nice but I do have a few issues. The shadows come in little duos named double feature 1, 2, 3 & 4 and a couple of the matte shadows didn't have the best color pay off or blendability. Other than that the duos were fairly nice. I really loved the polish colors (teal, coral & dark vibrant plummy purple) even though I'm not the biggest fan of mac's polish formula sinceI sually have to layer it up. The lipsticks are a purple, two types of corals and a lavender.
Didn't have time to play with the glosses, liners and blushes from "reel sexy" so I can't give an overall oppinion on that collection but I am definitely loving the "extra dimension" collection!
This collection sure looks interesting…the eyeshadows’ designs is so beautiful…I hope they perform as nicely as they look!
All I can say is WOW!! <3
Liked a couple eyeshadow colors until I saw the price lol oh well
Hi Christine,
Are the split fibre brushes still made in china? & do you find them must haves for applying makeup?
I didn’t repurchase them since they’re same brushes as before, and no, I never use them.
Christine, did MAC give any explanation as for why the price for the Skinfinishes went up to $29? << Just wondering 🙂
MAC explain why prices go up? LOL! I can’t even imagine that happening. That’s just the price I paid on my receipt!
Christine, dont know if this was said already but if you type “extra dimension” in the search you can purchase this collection this am 🙂
Posted it last night 🙂
no wonder Modern Mandarin was sold out already! lol
Can’t wait for these to come to Aus!! I really want to get my hands on the Superb Skinfinish and some of the eyeshadows!
The only thing that interests me is the highlighters…. ooooo
