I would loooove to see dupes of these - particularly
Young Punk &
Gilt By Association; not sure about other countries, but within a few days of being released in the UK
ALL of the shadows (all 4 shades) have completely sold out in stores, and so quickly that the collection never actually made it to being displayed on the MAC UK website
Since you've made the lovely black lippie Swank (which looks not that disimilar to Bling Black) & already have Film Noir cream liner (which could double for the MAC greasepaint stick), wouldn't it be nice to dupe the rest of the set?!!!!!!! (grovels desperately.................................)

I wondered why it never showed up on the website. The swatches (on Temptalia blog) were superb. I guess if a collection sells out *so* fast that they can't even advertise it, that's a strong endorsement for it's appeal. There will be a lot of people out there looking for dupes!

I really like the purple one, Young Punk, and the blue-teal one, Blue Flame but I just know that the golden copper (Gilt) one would be a massive seller, too.

Me too count me in on my vote for cloning
That being said if you can't wait for/if karen to clones the, I know of a similar/clone (can't tell on the photo) of young punk & possibly blue flame. The young punk is similar to barrym's fine glitter dust, purple black - No 23
http://www.barrym.com/products/product.asp?id=94 and I think blue flame maybe similar to barrym's dazzle dust patrol black - No 98
http://www.barrym.com/products/product.asp?id=77 . I can see myself popping to superdrugs tomorrow now
That being said if karen cloned it I would defiantly buy it

Ooooh good call!!!!

Would never thought of looking on there but I think you're right about the Purple Black being similar to Young Punk - also, looks like the new Dark Chocolate shade next to Petrol Black may be a decent substitute for Gilt By Association.
And, what do ya know, I've gotta pop into town today for some boring bits & pieces so will stop by & take a look in Superdrug.
Thanks for the suggestion, Ghost

How will you ladies wear these dark colors? Kitten, I know you've said you like neutrals like I do... although I love the way the colors look in the jar, never know quite what to do with them.

I love that new beautiful dark purple of Karens! Do you have swank? How do you wear that?

Sometimes "brain cells" escape me!!!!
I went shopping at lunch (I work in the town centre), popped to Smith's to see if they had a book that waterstones didn't, exited by the side entrance which is directly opposite Superdrugs and did I go in to look at barry m - No. I stood outside Smith's thinking "now I know there's somewhere I wanted to go/buy" staring straight at superdrug, not a bloody click, penny, or alarm bell!!!!! LOL. Walked straight back to work and it wasn't till I got home and went to the SN (I'm a visit too many times a day stalker) that I realise I forgot to check out the e/s
Cause they say things happen in 3 well I had my three today - 1st I forgot my book to read on the bus, left it at home, 2nd I left my mp3 in my desk draw at work while I walked around town at lunch then of course 3rd I forgot to pop into Superdrugs
Forgetfulness, thy name is Sarah
I WILL pop in tomorrow!!!!!

Hi Extemter,
thanks for the swatches......and I know precisely where the pic is from (in fact sample baggies of Necromancer are en route as we speak)
Sarah - I went into Superdrug today (after running my other errands, honest guv!!) and had a look at the shades you picked out. The Petrol one looks pretty much the same as the Witch swatch from Extemter's photo, Purple Black is a pretty close match for Necromancer from that same photo, but I think both Barry M & the other companies shadows are much, much glitterier than the Mac originals, which are more sheeny/pearly without glitter specs IMO; both Barry M & the 'mystery' mineral company appear to use a black base shadow coupled with coloured glitter whereas the Mac shadows appear to me to be a coloured shadow (i.e. purple) mixed with a black shadow as a base to intensify the shade - I actually got my latest SN order today and think that Aubergine is a very close match to Young Punk (which I swatched on my hand again today) but I haven't had the Meow samples yet so my thoughts are based solely on the photos .
Trainer - yes, I prefer neutrals but cannot resist lovely looking shades like this; i anticipate wearing the purple shade either as a liner or just in the very outer corner of my lid, for an evening out.
Txx

Sooo....I bought Young Punk yesterday- should be here in a few days. They kind of remind me of the Guilded mini-collection GWP thing that we did...dark with shimmer. Vampire from the swatches looks a lot like Bewitched...to me Cinderfella looks a lot like Superstition.
I'm sorry Extremer- I had to pull the pic because they'd kill me for having their pic on our site- especially hosted on their servers because it kills their bandwidth usage.
