This collection must be one of the strangest I have ever seen, but you can always rely on MAC to do something a little different. The collection is made up of six limited edition shades named Double Spin, Such Flare!, What Joy!, Eloquent Air, Whirls & Twirls and Soft Sable in their own white cases. For this review I will focus on the latter three: a bright silver sheer colour, rose-gold shimmer shade and a brown/rosy taupe frost respectively.

Eloquent Air is a glaze finish, silver shimmered lipstick. The coverage isn't very good so it is better to think of this as an overcoat rather than a base coat just to add a little bit of sparkle. This lipstick has quite a drying texture and wears off within a few hours so will have to be reapplied often to ensure the best effect. The colour works with your natural lip colour to create a fusion between the two which is bound to be successful!
Whirls & Twirls is a lovely pink colour with a slightly pearly gold shimmer sheen. As it is also a glaze finish, it has similar problems to Eloquent Air but will work fantastically with naturally darker lips or pale skin.
Soft Sable is a very strange colour. I chose it to be my halloween lip colour as the collection came out just before and I found the shade slightly spooky. It's quite an artificial muted brown with silver shimmer and a purple/pink tone. It has a semi-sheer frost shimmer finish and is a bold move for those brave enough.
