Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).
We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Lucent is so pretty! I was hoping I’d be able to pass on it to save some money but I’m not sure I’m going to be able to now!
It has amazing texture, too. So smooth and silky!
I missed out on Petticoat the first time because I had no money. I think I might have to pick it up this time.
I hope you can get it this time, Courtney!
I lost my Petticoat, and never had So Ceylon, so I think I’m gonna ahve to get them both.
Now’s your chance to get ’em, so you probably should! These always sell out :/
Wow, Earthly Riches is so mine! It may just be the pictures, but does the grey-black shade in that duo have a little bit of duochrome in it? Maybe duochrome isn’t the right word, but it seems like it’s not just a plain black/grey colour. Also, if they had taken the gold colour from Heat/Element and paired it with the green from Bright Side/Gallery Gal, I would’ve sprung for that as well.
You’ve probably already talked about this, but is there a big difference between normal eyeshadows and mineral eyeshadows? I’m a bit worried about fallout in the mineral eyeshadows…

OooOOoooh…Thanks for swatching this! I can’t wait to go to MAC in person to see how it looks with my skin tone. Christine, do you plan on purchasing the mineralized trios?
It seems that a lot of people are concerned with the pigmentation and fallout of mineralized make up. My sis-in-law suggested spraying fix+ before applying and it works sooo well. Plus, I use a paint pot as a base and my mineralized eyeshadow holds.
Nevermind… I just saw the swatches for the mineralized trios! OOPS! Thanks!
No problem, Jen! 🙂 I have no current plans to get them. If I get any, they’re probably just to do a look or two for the blog, and then I’ll pass it along to my sister or friends.
I missed out on Petticoat and So Ceylon and I wanted to give them a try. Do you know where I can find these products? Thanks. You’re site is really2x nice. 🙂
Your best bet is eBay, to be honest, they’re pretty hard to find right now!
So Ceylon is permanent, I believe, but I’m not 100% sure.
Sorry I have another question. Have you ever tried Laura Geller’s Blush-n-Brigthen? If you did? Would you recommend that over Petticoat? Sorry too many questions. Thanks. 🙂
I think they’re similar, and it’s a good dupe if you don’t want to hunt for Petticoat! I don’t know if one is better than the other, though!
