Since I already did a review on these, I am just going to post product photos and maybe a one or two-liner describing the color. The Spring Colour Forecast collection is out today!
Spring Colour 1:
Rosey Outlook is a frosted baby pink. It's satin in formula so it doesn't have shimmer. It's pretty though but you need to pack it on and I suggest a creamy colored base like MAC paint pots.
Azalea Blossom blush ombre is a light cool pink. Like other blush ombres, it has a gradient palette of colors and has fine jet-milled shimmer. When I swatched it, it hardly showed up on my skin. I will try it again to see if maybe it is really supposed to be a light, barely-there color to lend an ethereal finish to the skin.
Galore Pink is a pretty mid-tone blue pink cream. I am hoping the blue will complement my skintone as I kinda like cool nail lacquer shades on my nails.
I am honestly not a fan of Phlox because it hardly showed up on my skin. It's a sheer light pink in the glaze formula. I like Laugh A Lot better, a mauve pink in the lustre formula (you know I'm a sucker for mauves).
Cultureclash is a beautiful frosty clear baby pink with multi-dimensional pearl. It's your basic baby pink gloss with shimmer. Not very unique but since this is your quintessential gloss, you can find lots of use for it.
As I'd mentioned in the part 1 of the review, I love purples and pinks so this had to be mine. I love the coordinating colors and I've already used tthis is in an eye look. Watch out for it!
Spring Colour 2:
Perky is a light salmon pink in the satin formula. Straw Harvest is a frosty light yellow orange with a lovely texture because it's veluxe pearl. Hot Hot Hot is a mid-tone coral satin which I really super duper love, very unique in my MAC eyeshadow collection. I did a coral look using these colors, including Nanogold.

Ripe Peach is probably the prettiest among the blush ombres in my opinion. It really does look like a ripe peach! The gradient shades are fantastic. I can't wait to use this.
The Crush Metal Pigments - Stacked 2! are pretty nifty in their little stackable jars. The colors are a pale gilded beige frost, yellow gold frost, green gold frost and copper gold frost. They're already highly metallic in finish, so you don't need to foil them anymore. If you use one or two for an eye look, make sure the rest of the colors are satin or matte as the metallic finish can be overwhelming. These are wearable coors and can be used in a wide variety of ways.
I didn't like Malibu Peach nail lacquer at first because I thought it would be too warm for my skintone. I've been recently trying corals on my nails and they're not as bad as I'd thought, so I am excited to roadtest this.
Fresh Salmon is a sheer bright pink orange lustre, while Victorian is a frosted light golden pink frost. I like both colors and are pretty unique in my lipstick stash. I am really liking the shimmer particles in the products as you can see in the picture above.
Chacha is a fave, a mid-tone pink with gold pearl. Kumquat is a frosty tangerine that I can use to warm up neutral or cool lipsticks.
Spring Colour 3:
The pretty purple palette! I can think of so many looks using this palette. Mink Pink is a neutral soft pink (veluxe), Bruised Plum is a frosted mid-tone dirty mauve (veluxe pearl), Black Tulip is a frosted dark grape (frost), and Jungle Moon is a blackened deep eggplant (matte). As I said in the first review, the last eyeshadow reminds me of Shadowy Lady. All are great colors and I think my faves are the last three.
Purple Rage- I am not digging this as much as the other colors because it looks fall-ish to me and I am definitely looking forward to spring (as this entire collection is named after it). It is a dark berry frost.
I know Azalea Blossom is more popular than Vintage Grape, but please give this one a chance. It doesn't look bruised on the skin especially if you use a light hand or a skunk brush like the 187. I fell in love with this blush more than Azalea Blossom during the unveiling. It showed up more on the skin and the finish is divine.
Spring Colour 4:
I don't know which one I like better, Colour 3 quad or Colour 4! I love the colors in this palette because they are neutral, very wearable and pigmented as well. Manila Paper is a pale frosted white gold that is just lovely as a highlighter on the browbone or tearducts. Flip is a bronze gold frost. Aztec Brick is a frosted true copper (veluxe pearl). Creole Beauty is a frosted dark golden brown (frost). I am partial to to bronzes in this palette. Lovely and can be worn year-round.
Springshine blush ombre is a nice neutral suntanned color that would work best as a contour or bronzing powder. Great for summer and spring (and even winter) to warm up the skin.
Bronzilla is a frosted mid-tone yellow brown that is very flattering on my skintone, maybe because of the yellow tones. I think this will be a staple for me.
Enjoy the photos and your trip to the MAC store or counter to pick these up! What are you gonna get?
