The two lipsticks that I have from the collection are mostly true to colour, however, Mcizzle applies a bit lighter than you might expect from what you see in the tube. Both shades are comfortable to wear, and MAC's version of a "frost" lipstick is never what you would think of as a "traditional" frost lipstick from way back in the day. Frost finishes from MAC lean more shiny/slight frost. My favourite of the two shades, that I have, would have to be I Get So OOC. I love browns. I've been wearing browns since High School...waaay back in 1995. Most of the browns in my collection are either matte or creamy, so this is unique for my stash.

Overall, this collection is lovely. I've ordered the Extra Dimension Skinfinish, it hasn't arrived yet. When I do receive it, I'll update this post with pictures and swatches. (**Updated above**) The packaging, alone, on this collection is spot on. The glitter is mesmerizing (haha) and it's a smooth glitter finish, in photo's, the glitter can take on a chunky appearance. But, in reality, the glitter is all underneath a coating of some sort. Most people will tell you that you have to see the packaging in person...and they're right. In person, it's beautiful.

If you can manage to get your hands on some of this collection, I'd recommend it. That is, if any of it speaks to you. It's all sold out online, even in Canada. But, you might still be able to find some of the collection, (online), at Hudson's Bay. Otherwise, you should still be able to find the majority of the collection at a MAC store, in person. It's worth checking out, if you live near an actual MAC store.
