Oh, I can’t wait for your review! The coral lips don’t look very coral-y to me??
Oh, there you go – you switched the names. Yeah, the coral ones are niiiiice!
Fixed!
I was hoping for a bit more variety in the pigments…. and a few more repromotes of LE stuff in the lipglass… It’s still a very tempting set of colours.
I do like both sets, if I didn’t already have them full-size. They’re not the best sets, but not bad.
I just (liteally on my lunch break an hour ago) came back from the MAC counter. I wanted to buy the Neutral set to add to my makeup collection, but after I tried on a few shades, I decided my $29.50 would be best spent elsewhere. The colors were so light and see through… I could’ve gotten the same effect with a tube of vaseline. NO thanks MAC. Definitely not enough color for my taste.
I’m so sorry you were disappointed, MzBE! I didn’t pick up anything either.
I love the eyepencils!
They put a good mix in this year!
your review is really helpful thanks a lot.
No problem, Srn!
I’m definitely getting the Cool Pigment set. That glitter doesn’t look right with the set though.
I agree, it felt out of place!
After looking at all of the glitters, there are many better ones they could have chose. I like Purple, Reflects Turquatic or Reflects Transparent Pink.
That’s true!
Hmm, I’m gunna pass on the holiday collections this year, I really only want one brush set, but it’s like, 58$ CDN, no thank you, MAC!
I’ll just buy a few pigment samples instead, and maybe a full size of Love Nectar, since everyone seems to love it, 🙂
🙁 Love Nectar is cute, though!
The only thing i think ima pick up is the pencils but do you know if they are waterline safe?
Most of the pencils have glitter in them, so no.
I don’t think so, Yolanda 🙁
Oh no. I want them all! I’m in this really insane mood. Oh no.
I’ve been in those! 😉 Shop-a-holic ones!
Oh, i ADORE Pink Grapefruit, Wonderstruck and Budding! especially Pink grapefruit!
Pink Grapefruit is one of my faves!
And Love nectar is also really cute. Damn! I’m going to need more money!
Ooooo!
I want the Warm Pigments!!
🙂
I got the pencils last year and they are chunky with the glitter…
🙁 I think I will pass on those…
Thanks!!
Did you end up with anything, Michelle?
Actually, I haven’t gone to a MAC Counter yet.
But trust you me, I’m tempted to just get em online.
Although I have to admit I am liking the cool pigments as well and those darn pencils!
But if anything I’d only get the two pigments.
Hey, here’s a question.
I was thinking about the Passions of Red collection…and was thinking about the Cool and Classic Eye Palettes :X (in addition to the Warm ones). But no seriously I need to stop..
What would you choose?
I’d skip the pencils, they’re not that great :/
Classic Eye is just okay… if you already have smoky eye colors, skip! The Cool eye is cute, but do you wear purples a lot?
Wow that’s a good way to think of it.
Thanks!
Actually when I went for the make over at Bloomies, the MA sold me purples in mineralize eyeshadow. I know that it’s a different texture but I think 2 purples is enough 😛 Warm Eyes it is.
What do you think about the pigments?
I like pigments – I have most of them full size, which is why I passed on the sets. I think the sets are great way to get multiple pigments for wayyy less!
I got the WARM pigments set. They’re really pretty to use to make a neutral or day look. And they’re well coordinated so they blend and shade perfectly! Gives a nice soft, warm look to the eyes 🙂
Glad you’re enjoying the warm pigments set, Manda!
I went in there all planning to get the Neutral Lips set, but for some reason I was really drawn to the Coral set, and so I got that one instead. But I’m really glad, because i LOVE it!! Ola Mango is my fave so far, I think.
Ola Mango is a great shade! I wish I had gotten it when they put it out as a LE product!
I had just gotten both warm and cool pigment sets, wanted to start trying out the pigments but i am unsure how to use it. do i mix them or just dab them like normal eyeshadow? thought this would be a good way to start collecting some pigments. I bought the basic brush set and also the eye set which seemed like a pretty good start. got myself couple of eyeshadows and it turned out awesome!
Try using them wet 🙂
Christine, how do you use them wet? i;ve been using them by just dabbing them over the UDPP/eyeshadows. thanks
I use mixing medium, Wendy!
Thanks Christine! will check out your other post on the mixing medium.. 🙂
My mum got the Softsparkle set for me as a Christmas present! I love eyeliner, they’re my favourite makeup product. Peacocked is my fave! Thanks for the great swatches 🙂
