The promo picture (w/the models) is beautiful; I’m lusting over that innocent springtime lilac, but in the up close photos of each pigment, they seem too look gritty and not smooth. Eagerly anticipating your review(s) on these, Christine! 🙂

Not that I could ever color my eyebrows purple…but I think the purple brow/eyelid is really really cool! I think I’ll definitely have to pick up some of this lovely colors.

They really got me on the promo pic – I’m such a sucker for a coloured eyebrow… 🙂 but, WHY NO MATTE PIGMENTS??? Or just less shimmery/glittery/disco-ballish? I’m over it!

I like how even though this is a close up they didn’t completely airbrush away the model’s fine lines around their eyes and they didn’t completely cover up their slight undereye circles. While I’m sure they are airbrushed this seems really restrained and looks believable compared to the Guerlain promo I just saw.

This is crazy, they are releasing like 3 collections on the same day! The iris chic collection, this one, and the strength collection and they they have so many other collection out right now. It’s exciting but overwhelming at the same time. Anyways loving the pressed pigments.

That’s a silly question, but would anyone happen to know the models’ names? I feel like I’ve seen these faces before, but I can’t quite put my finger on it!

Also, I do agree with the person who said that it was a good thing they didn’t airbrushed fine lines and undercircles out. With that campaign and the Jelena Abbou one, MAC is starting to interest me!

These are a glitter explosion on their own. But worn with a primer such as Too Faced Glitter Glue they’re amazing. I only had fall-out when i put the shadow on my first eye.

I wore them on New Year’s Eve. I put them on with TF GG and for 10 hours i had no fading or fall out. I was a bad girl and fell asleep with my eye makeup on. At 3 AM i woke up and even then there was NOT GLITTER FALL OUT! I did take my makeup off at that point.

Putting on an eye lid primer like TF GG only adds, what, half a minute to the makeup process, and then these babies behave beautifully and look beautiful.
