Peacocky Haul, Swatches, and Comparisons

One of the Kissable Lipcolours were already sold out!
I'm sure most of you know that the Peacocky collection has been released into stores this week! I Went yesterday, the day after the release of the collection and was able to play for a good 15 minutes as well as take pictures and swatch to my heart's content. Yay for the super friendly Mac Artists!

I love the layout of this collection like a Peacock with it's tail feathers spread, I think that's really creative! I only bought four items but I wanted so many more! There was just so many wonderful highly pigmented colours in this collection! The only thing I was disappointed in was the Peak-at-You eyeshadow. It lacked pigmentation and sheen. Other than that I loved the formula of both the Mega Metal Shadows and the Kissable Lip Colours but more on that later! Here's a closer look at the eyeshadows.
Closer look at all the shadows (sorry for the washed out shades!)
Top L-R: Odalisque, Tweet me, Prance, Peak-At-You, Dalliance, Paparazz-she, Spectacle of Yourself, Centre Stage, Unflappable
Middle row L-R: Noir Plum, Ego, Mating Call, Sexpectations, Dandizette
Top of the Posh

And the washed out shades not washed out!
Top L-R: Tweet Me, Prance, Peak-at-You, Dalliance
Bottom L-R: Ego, Mating Call
And a couple of eyeshadow swatches from colours that interested me! I kept getting distracted by different colours I loved so much that I never got around to swatching all the eyeshadow colours but here is a bunch of Mega Metal eyeshadow swatches. Enjoy!
Top- Bottom L: Tweet Me, Dalliance, Prance
R: Soft Force
See how invisible Peak-at-You is? So disappointing! And that was two swatches of colour compared to the one swatch I needed for the left colours! You can barely see it!
Top: Spectacle of Yourself
Bottom: Tweet Me
Dandizette
In other swatches of this I thought it was a lovely Indigo colour somewhere between blue and purple but in real life it looks like the photo above a denim blue colour so I was a bit disappointed. Lovely blue just not what I thought it was going to be.
Unflappable
I kept hearing things about Unflappable. That it was so unique and special. To be honest I didn't think so. Great pigmentation but to me it just looked like a neutral dark brown.

Next up is the Kissable Lip Colours which I did swatch all of the available ones for you all! Missing is Exxhibitionist.
L-R: Woo Me, So Vain, Temper Tantra, Peacocky, Super
L-R: Love Peck, Strut Your Stuff, Scandelicious (More Raspberry in real life), Vanity Fair, Flaunting It, Enchantee
The formula on these lip colours is amazing! I love the silky and moisturizing feeling that they go on with, no stickyness AT ALL! They then dry down a bit to a drier more longer lasting finish. And you need so little to get major colour pay off! Love Peck looks almost black here but when sheered out onto the lips it becomes a lovely dark berry shade. I highly recommend these if you see a shade you like! I know I want more than just the two I bought! The nice bit about the darker colours is that they stain you lips as well so even if you eat you still have a light stain of colour left over! Wonderful!

Comparisons! I've got a couple comparisons between the colours to other brand shades or other Mac shades. Hopefully this is useful to some of you!
Top: Ego, Bottom: WnW Envy
Left: WnW Envy, Right: Ego
Gosh I want Ego so so so badly! But I told myself that Envy by Wnw is close enough that I do not need yet another green eyeshadow. They'll probably look the same on the eye. Even if it is my favourite dark green ever with such an amazing blue undertone.... *Tears*
Left: Nars Cheyenne Right: Spectacle of Yourself
I was a bit worried when I got Spectacle of Yourself that it would be too red and therefore too close to my cranberry shade in my NARS Cheyenne duo. Luckily I was wrong and they are different enough to justify me having both. Such wonderful colours!
Left: Spectacle of Yourself, Right: Nars Cheyenne
Left: Vex, Right: Dalliance
Many people are saying that Mac Vex is a dupe for Dalliance out with this collection. I am here to prove this WRONG! (Of course this may also be because Vex is my all time favourite).
Left: Dalliance, Right: Vex
Left: Vex, Right: Dalliance
As you can see when swatched Dalliance is a white-gold and Vex is a grey with pink reflect. Not the same at all!

The Kissable Lip Colours I purchased were Love Peck and Peacocky. The two eyeshadows are Dalliance and Spectacle of Yourself. I'll post lip swatches of the colours in a couple of days.

What does everyone think? Great collection in my opinion!

Peacocky Update (and some swatches)

Image from Temptalia
If you don't know already Peacocky has been released on the Mac website! The free ship code (at least for Canadians) is Peacocky and I can't wait for tomorrow as I'm going to most certainly be at my Mac store! I've got a couple things I'm leaning towards but I feel like I need to compare some of things I've already got to some of the items I want! I'm trying to be smart about my purchases otherwise I'll end up with a billion purples and greens that all match! 
I recently saw some swatches provided by a wonderful Mac Artist on Specktra named Paparazzi Boy and I thought I'd post the pictures for you to enjoy too!

I love so many of these! So many colours I want for my eyeshadow collection! Although unflappable and Prance are not shown anywhere near their true beauty on the cards. Here's the ones I'm interested in:
- Spectacle of Yourself (What a lovely Auburn colour!)
- Ego (I'm a sucker for anything Dark Green)
- Dalliance (I've been looking for a Silver-Gold Shadow and I think this might be it!)
- Dandizette (looks like such a lovely denim almost violet colour!)
- Prance (A unique silvered pink, it's one of the few pinks I've ever been drawn to!)
- Tweet Me (Pretty much a pressed version of Melon Pigment or a powder of Rubenesque Paint pot both of which I continue to eye up longingly.)
- Unflappable (A dark taupe-purple sounds interesting!)
- Peacocky (BLUE! Blue lip gloss! I know this won't be worn often but I want this because it's blue!)
- Flaunting it (A purple. I love purple lippies. I'm trying to convince myself to pass on this as I have a bunch but at the moment I'm not sure that's going to happen *-*)
- Love Peck (Oooh dark red. I love dark reds!)

What about everyone else? Any shades in particular you're interested in?

Mac Peacocky Sneak Peek!

Special thanks to Hanne at Snow White Glamour for the photo!
I don't know about anyone else but I can't wait for the Mac Peacocky collection! From what I've heard about the eyeshadows and the lippies as well as the colour descriptions (Check out the colour descriptions here) this collection sounds like it's going to be one of my favourite collections ever!
Special thanks to Hanne at Snow White Glamour and Style Lab at Style Laboratory for the photo!

Above the Mega Metal eyeshadows here you can see the Lip Gelees from the Cham Pale collection along with the Special Reserve Highlight Powders. So exciting!
Special thanks to Hanne at Snow White Glamour for the photo!
You need to see this picture bigger so click it! The sparkle and subtle different colours in this purple is drool worthy! I'm fairly sure this is Noir Plum but this is just my best guess! Stay tooned as I've got some swatches and a bunch more Peacocky pictures coming up soon!
