My second MAC pigment stack. I think I’m developing a slight addiction problem!! This was available with two other pigment stacks, some lip color sets, and a brush set in the Dazzlesphere collection from MAC, for the 2011 winter holidays. I passed on the other two pigment stacks because I was not nearly as in love with the swatches I saw online…and because I loved the look of Rose Light and Spicy Smoke.

  • Availability: part of the summer 2011 Surf Baby collection; from the webstore and channel partners
  • Contains: 4 eyeshadows
  • Cost/Amount: USD$34.00
  • Would you purchase again: yes

The first MAC pigment stack that I bought…I fell in love with the dark blue-green Graphite (which is oddly named, but a gorgeous shade.) There was another pigment stack sold with this collection, but it was warmer and sandy colors, so I passed. I liked the combination of cool blues and one lone gold color.

I loved the colors…but was kind of disappointed with the Bronze pigment. It was all clumped up in the jar, and smelled oddly! (Apparently I’m not the only person who’s had this problem.) The Aquamarine is a little faint in terms of color payoff, but the Graphite and Titanium are both excellent.
