LOL! Stark Naked, GET IT!!
Sara, it was released with C-Shock last year
it was released with c-shock. 🙂 its gorgeeeeeous.. the pics dont do it justice.
C-Shock
Rouge Marie looks good to me.. too bad its disc. I should have gotten this stuff when I could! I don’t buy mac often bc its too expensive but i really wanna invest in some new shadows, blushes, glosses, and maybe a brow gel.
aaahhhhh, two more hours till I go to the mall, thanks for the swatches Christine 🙂
No prob, what did you get, Sandy?
I have an appointment with MAC on Saturday for them to try out this new line on me! So excited! Can’t decide which shadow colors to go with yet… hmmmm
precious lord take my hand….mac is killing me …. really loving this collection!! thanks Christine! i shall surely get some more dazzleglasses…those are by far my fave cuz they’re so sticky 🙂 i’m so glad they’re bringing out more!
Aww!! Just be sure to check out the BPBs!
Christine,
I have to be strong but not invinsible, I like some of the “looks’ that mac created with these eyeshadows. Do you have any dups in mind for some of these colors since you’ve already seen them in person? I am trying not to break my poor bank!
I did get the dazzleglasses and for the first time pettycoat, I was hoping to be done with this collection but might have to rethink my strategy!

What colors in particular are you looking for dupes? That way I can try to think of some 🙂
*swoons @ Danger Zone*
Too bad the black is nothing to write home about 🙁
Aw, I’m really sad that the strip in the middle of the eyeshadows is chunky glitter and not a full shadow — personally, I’m just really not into visible glitter. I was looking forward to Word of Mouth and Inter-view, but I guess I’ll just have to grab something from the mineralized duos. I would have totally gotten those two had the middle strip been a legit copper shadow instead of a chunky glitter strip 🙁
Stark Naked looks gorgeous, but I already have got enough of the pinky-beige-blush-with-gold category, sadly. It’ll be hard to resist though!!
How would you compare Red She Said to Russian Red. I would like more red colors, but Russian Red is the only one that I have tried so far that does not make me look like a clown.
It’s sheer, more of a bright red – not as blue-based. It’s also glossy.
