I am definitely seeing some pretties here! Typhoon, Steampunk, Voltage, Havoc ( or Ritzy! ) all look awesome! And Secret Garden is what I was hoping ColourPop Bae would turn out as, but Bae is just duochrome micro-glitter, not duochrome shimmer. I look forward to your reviews!

I really like the look of these I may just have to make my first makeup geek purchase. Please forgive this more than stupid question. These come only in a pan meaning no compact, correct? I have to put a magnet on them and then put him inside of a pallet?

Hmm, there are some that I wouldn’t really call duchrome, but all of these look really nice! If you wear indi loose shadows, you probably have a ton of these shades in your stash already; I know I have about half of these shades, but having them in the pressed form is more ideal. 🙂

These are all gorgeous, but they don’t seem to be duochromes. I think the term “duochrome” means different colors at different angles – so might look red and one angle and green at another. Something that is say, a red base with green shimmer isn’t, IMO, a duochrome, even though the red may be more visible in some lights and with some types of application, and the green may be visible at other times.

Regardless, they’re gorgeous, and I see a few in my future!

Wow, these are so pretty!! And so well-priced. I’m so glad there’s cheaper alternatives to the NARS Dual Intensity shadows. I will definitely be buying some (maybe most of of this collection), I’m loving the lighter violet and peach shades

Me too 🙂 Unfortunately I bought the UD singles she’s duping. Whomp Whomp. Oh well I still love the ones I don’t own under a UD label and I’m lucky enough to live super close to where her MUG store is going to be! I have a feeling that will be half the most fun ever and half financial ruin.

I’m peachless and Prism pigment appear to be the same to me, thoughts?

Also, did you notice much of a difference between Havoc and Ritzy to warrant getting both? I am sure you’ll truly review these soon, but Im impatient!!

Rockstar is the same Rockstar, right? Some are clearly more duo than others, though it is tough to capture in photos at times. And, as others have said, more shimmer than glitter. And some are fairly similar, but f’sure, I’m starting my second large MUG Z with some of these bad boys. A couple of MUGs are in with other shadows, but I’d rather have all the MUGs together. Hate it, when I change my mind + org them all by color; still wind up pulling out multiple palettes. And you don’t have to deal with the powder mess that at least I can make with some of those indie duos. They are gorgeous, but i convince myself out of them due to the mess factor. Another score for Marlena + Co. BTW, really liking Barcelona Beach as a crease shade, and High Tea for crease, if you like green looks.

I ordered these the day they were released! I’ve never tried MUG before, and looking at your other reviews of their products I was a little nervous about my impulse buy… but they look really pretty here! So far I’m glad I purchased! fingers crossed they test alright!

Some of these are gorgeous, but of course the “proof in the pudding” is how they apply and wear. I placed my first MUG order a few weeks ago and ended up feeling that the shadows didn’t live up to the hype – but maybe that was impossible since they were SO hyped by most reviewers. I purchased Barcelona Beach, High Tea, Baby Face and Unexpected. I’m really pale and found them to be sheer. I think they’re a pretty good option for the price, but $24 for a quad isn’t all that cheap. You do get a good amount of shadow, though, so it’s a good deal for a shade that is used often. Just my (wordy) two cents!
