My MAC palettes (and some CCO buys)

I thought this post might be helpful for anyone who wants to compare how blushes/eyeshadows look in the pan!

Blush palettes:
 Top row L-R: Pink Swoon, Hipness (To The Beach), Peachykeen
Bottom row L-R: Instant Chic (Pret a Papier), Dollymix, Springsheen

Top: Garb (Pret a Papier)
Bottom: Harmony
Eyeshadow palettes:

Top row L-R: MAC Shroom, All That Glitters, Cork, Mythology, Electra
Middle row L-R: Urban Decay Sellout, MAC Flip (Blonde Brunette Redhead), Woodwinked, Barry M 53 Chocolate, MAC Bough Grey (Liberty of London)
Bottom row L-R: MAC Hush, Urban Decay Half Baked, MAC Satin Taupe, Cut To Fit, Knight Divine

Top row L-R: MAC Shimmermoss, Juxt, Emerald Green pigment, Coppering, Stars 'N' Rockets
Middle row L-R: MAC Deep Truth, Swimming, Humid, Sushi Flower, Satellite Dreams
Bottom row L-R: MAC Contrast, Birds and Berries (Liberty of London), Cranberry, Nocturnelle

I bought these shadows at the CCO on Monday. Coppering and Mythology were £8 each and Flip was £7.50. They did come in pots but I depotted them.

Top: Mythology
Bottom L-R: Coppering, Flip

I'm really liking Coppering and Flip. Mythology is a gorgeous colour but it's difficult to work with, it's a Lustre finish meaning it's quite sheer. It is glittery too so that's a bit of a pain. I think Mythology would work best when used wet. I picked these colours as warm reds and golds bring out the green in my eyes more, see here for a look using Mythology, Coppering and Flip!

Swatches of Mythology, Coppering and Flip with other similar shadows I own:
Natural light with flash
L-R: MAC Cut To Fit, Coppering, Cranberry, Mythology, Flip, Urban Decay Half Baked

Let me know if there are any swatches you'd like to do in the comments!
