Here is the first part of a series of posts on the Shop MAC, Cook MAC collection. This massive Spring 2012 collection comes in two parts, the Shop MAC and the Cook MAC sub-collections. Shop MAC features the lipsticks, Kissable Lipcolours, Cremeblend blush, and the three eyeshadow quads. The fluidlines are part of the Cook MAC; this sub-collection includes the Studio Careblend/Pressed powders, fluidlines, Opulash mascara, nail lacquers, the brushes, and the much-awaited re-release of the Tendertones. I will be reviewing each of these products in the coming posts, so stay tuned!
I am loving the packaging. Some might find the blue tablecloth pattern tacky, but I really find it fun and refreshing. Other products from this collection are housed in pink and yellow tablecloth patterned sleeves, and some have fun pink and blue bubbles on a pink or yellow background.

I was pretty impressed when I swatched these. They are definitely my kind of shades. They are the neutral kind that you can use either at the office or out on the town. I am pleased with the pigmentation as well. They glide like butter on the skin and they are not patchy or splotchy when you make a line using a liner brush. I am wearing Midnight Snack right now; I applied it eleven hours ago over Nubile paint pot, and it's still as crisp and pigmented as the minute I applied it.
Midnight Snack is described as a soft black, but I really wouldn't consider it black, not even a soft one. It's more like a greyish blue with slight shimmer. Added Goodness is described a blackened mauve that is not really blackened to me, but more of like a purplish-greyish-brown, I guess? Wholesome is a blackened brown that would make a good replacement for Blacktrack or even the old Nightfish if you've run out of either. I am really impressed with these, and the reason why I reviewed these first is that the fluidlines are my favorites from this collection.
I also like that my old fluidlines don't dry up on me, unlike some of my paint pots. Some of my fluidlines are already 3 years old, and yet they're still as moist and vibrant as the day I got them.
Definitely check these out, they are probably some of the best products from this collection.
