Very true. It’s good for someone on the go, or if they don’t have it yet

    I love these 4 shadows in Natural Flare. I bought mine yesterday and I am loving it. Today I spent about an hour playing with the colors layering them and they are just gorgeous. The gold and bronze are just jemmy rich in color. The only color I haven’t tried yet is the brown. But I am already looking forward to tomorrow so I can try it!

      LOL!!! wow we all think the same here… it’s just sooo
      amazing how similar i think about you girls…
      their website is my “self control but still get some mac stuff”
      way cuz if i go to their counter it’s like everything there has
      my name on it =) i always end up getting more that what i planned, the
      last time i went which is this friday, i got me a list but ended up stashing
      my list on my purse and just get whatever capture my hearts desire =)

    That’s the reason why my friend and i don’t want to go to the MAC store that just opened in my town! We are so excited, but at the same time we fear we are going to spent all our savings there!!!

The quality of your video is awesome.
Loved all the eyeshadow swatches.
I was wondering what they looked like.
I think I want Natural Flare.
And your makeup is gorgeous.

I wasn’t initially excited about the shadows but will have to check out Eclectic now…But will definitely need a good base for it otherwise those colors won’t show up on my eyes! I thought the glosses were gonna be disappointing but they’re way more pigmented than I thought. Looking forward to your skin finishes and blush reviews the most! =)

[Reply]
- At 2009.07.11 02:12, Charlotte said:
  
  eccentricity and natural flare= my favesss. and i thought the glosses would be disappointing too, but now that i see this… ahhh i want all the glosses!

At 2009.07.10 03:04, sixx said:

P.S. I don’t get why their “special” glosses always contain less product when they already cost much more?? :-/

At 2009.07.10 04:34, Denise said:

all the eyeshadows were great But personally I like my makup in separate compartments. Mixed eyeshadows might look good together but Im not a fan. Don’t get me wrong those eyeshadows looked great on ur skin but I also found them very similar to each other. Like the Blacks, shimmery champagne, gold tones. The review was over all great. O.k the lipglosses look alittle different with the swirls and very creative for Mac. But Im sure the swirls won’t mix in the bottle lol. And you wanted more lipgloss well do like Koren did he removed the white round plastic. That just separates the lipgloss and wand. I hope I wasn’t harsh with ur great review. Its just my thoughts…. thanks again for the review

  LOL OMG dont take the stopper out of these.. I tried today at work cause I was so sick of the lack of gloss. BIG MESS LOL.. I understand about the compartments, I heard if you aren’t careful with these they will mush as one

    i made that mistake once, luckily with a cheap gloss! if i did that to an expensive gloss like mac, i would be super pissed off, since it isnt always possible to get them back on.

lol kay i just bought girlish romp for now but i think im safe with just that until i get more money. i might go back for blushes because everyone kept complimenting my cheeks D:. i didnt even try the glosses because i would have bought all of them. my mac has so many things from past collections get this: they still have goldyrocks dazzleglass!

So I love your tutorials on YouTube so thanks for teaching everyone about hair and makeup. I also follow you on Twitter. I want to get more involved with reading your blog but I have to tell you that I have a real hard time following the organization of it. Am I the only one? Can you help me navigate this site a little better? I want to participate but I am just not following the logic of how Pursebuzz is laid out. Thanks again for all that you share.

all the eccentricity eyeshadows are wobbly — i exchanged mine 3 times.. and finally accepted it… and now that i see yours is wobbly too… i guess we can’t avoid it…

At 2009.07.13 14:21, Peggy said:

That’s it, I’m going to my mac store this weekend. The purples in the eccentricity or so gorgeous I have lots of purple shadows but a little more won’t hurt.

At 2009.07.18 23:14, Tammy said:

i don’t really like this collection at all. i said it b4 i saw swatches and i’m surprisingly sticking to my decision. sometimes i change my mind after i see swatches but not this time! the only one that i might even consider buying is natural flare. only because i lack neutrals in my collection! LOL!
