I posted my written MAC Styleseeker Swatches and Review a week or so ago, and I also posted a video review on the collection. I also posted a separate review with swatches on the MAC Styleseeker Nail Lacquers: Mean & Green, Gadabout Girl, Styleseeker. Now, a week later, I have more products from the collection and was able to swatch the rest of the items. Here are my swatches and my additional thoughts on them.

I think that since MAC Styleseeker is MAC's first major release of fall shades this year, the bold, rich and vampy colors were a hit with MAC's fan base. I particularly like the lip shades this year. I love the rich, saturated colors of the Mattene lipstick, one of my favorite MAC lip products. As I said in my previous review, the Mattene is the more buttery matte of MAC. It glides more smoothly and a bit creamier than MAC's standard matte lipstick, but the boldness of the color remains the same, I am loving my Fashion Nomad, a bright red-orange. I love to pair it with my beautiful Eclectic Edge lipglass, a mid-tone clean true orange. It's similar to Caqui from the MAC Bloggers' Obsessions Collection.
Another lipglass that I am really loving is Restless. It is SUCH a beautiful shade. It's described as a dark burnt bronze but it has a lot of red tones in it. Very pretty and reminds me of fallen leaves. I will be wearing this a lot this fall.
C-Thru is your basic peachy beige with shimmer that you see in a lot of MAC collections. It's a permanent color and I always use this over a darker lipstick, because wearing it alone gives me corpse-like lips.
Ready to Roam is a beautiful blue-based red. It is your quintessential classic red lipgloss. I wore this in my video review and I love to wear this during night-outs.
As for the eye shadow duos, I love my Whims & Fancies. It contains a platinum shimmer and a beautiful blackened plum matte (Shadowy Lady). I have the latter shadow in one of my past palettes, but having it in a duo seems more convenient.
My favorite eye shadow duo from this collection is Marche Aux Puces. It has this golden orange shadow in the veluxe pearl finish, and a matte chestnut brown. So pretty and it's easy to recreate a sultry sunset eye look using this.
For the blushes, I love Worldly Wealth because this is one of the few bronzey blushes that I have. Since it's a frost, it can also double as a highlighter, and its bronzey shadow makes it great as a bronzer too. It's a 3-in-1 product!
Supercontinental blush is your usual coral peachy pink blush. I don't have a lot of these clean coral peaches so this is right up my alley. I like Hidden Treasure which is a deep terracotta red in the satin formula, but the dark pigment got me a little scared. This would be great for tan to dark complexions, though.
The fluidlines are great staples. Dark Diversion is beautiful. It's a blackened plum that is great for purples, pinks, plums or even neutrals. It actually leans more on the red side of the spectrum rather than blue or purple. Blacktrack is your dependable solid flat black. Rich Ground is a red cocoa with pearl, and another pretty one is Local Wares, a dirty olive with multidimensional pearl. My favorites would have to be Local Wares and Rich Ground.

All in all, this is a solid collection. I noticed that a lot of people are really liking the mix of shades, from the neutrals to the deep, rich fall colors. I am not into the neutral Mattenes, but the deeper ones are rich and perfect for fall.
