Love that Look Swatches & Dupes

Love that Look released a week early, so rain or shine I went to my Mac counter. I swatched everything and was very careful driving home and not rubbing my arms against stuff...I'm pretty sure people think i'm more crazy now. Anyway these are the best swatches I can do, it hasn't stopped raining all week. So no sun equals less impressive swatches. I find these are pretty accurate. I also dd some dupes so you guys can try to save money.

As you can see, not the best swatches but I blame the weather. I hope it helps some. I ended up getting Smoke & Diamonds, One Off and Fashion Groupie.

Now my thoughts, every shadow had a nice buttery smooth finish, perfect for blending. I found when swatching they crumble easily.

Unbasic White- Nothing to speical to me, I don't own many whites and the only place I wear them is under my brow bone and in my tear duct. But Unbasic White looks like White Frost to me but with a better finish.

Dreammaker- Mac has released a few colors similar to this color in the last few collections. If you didn't pick up Soft Force from Style Warriors or Créme de Miel from Naked Honey, you might find this little beauty a great neutral. This one came out last year with Starflash.

Grand Entrance- This color is a tad darker then Dreammaker and was released with the first StarFlash collection last year. I didn't pick it up then and I didn't now. Just nothing super unique.

Style Snob- A very nice neutral brown color with a hint of pink. I tried to dupe it but nothing was really similar. This is a nice wash of color on the lid on those lazy days. I keep thinking I should go back and buy this one. Go Will Power.

Ego- Much nicer pink then the Sunset B from last year but still didn't impress me. I really like vivid pinks.

Smoke & Diamonds- Now I see why all the fuss, I don't know why I passed it up last year but it's so gorgeous. Nice crease color and all over lid color, it's so versatile.

Rated R- I was wanting this color since I heard the description but I bought Sour Lemon when i was in Montreal and it's so close to merit both. Rated R is a little bit like Bitter but blends like a dream.

Fashion- This one looks more like Silverthorn instead of Tilt to me. It has a sheen of blue. It's pretty but not a must buy if you have Silverthorn.

One Off- I tried to find a dupe in my whole collection but came up with nothing. This is my favorite color that was released, so pretty and unique. Can't wait to wear it.

Strike a pose-
At first I really wanted this color but then I kept thinking it looked like Deep Truth and Blue Flame and I wasn't impressed with it from my swatches. It has a teal/blue feel.

Fashion Groupie
- This color is almost like Satellite Dreams but I don't own Satellite Dreams and the finish of this one was much better then Satellite Dreams. It also had a little blue in it, makes my brown eyes pop.

Glamour Check!
- A very nice brown, this was released last year. It has a lot of depth but I already own a lot of browns so I passed.

That leaves the eyeliners, which to me were pretty with glitter so I would think they wouldn't be eye safe. I didn't buy any as I have tons of eyeliner and liquid liner with shimmer in it. If I would buy one it would be Rave, love purple liner.
