A few weeks ago, MAC launched their Boxing Day collection called Faerie Whispers, inspired by — you guessed it — fairies: "Let your innocence roam free. Transcend seasons with charmed hues inspired by the secret, wondrous world of fairies." There is a total of 24 products, of which 17 are new and limited edition, four are re-promotes, two are permanent, and one is new and will be added to the permanent range. Faerie Whispers sees the launch of eight new and limited edition shades of Foiled Shadow, which is described as "a luminous, lightweight, wet/dry eye shadow with highly pigmented colour pay-off." They are housed in regular black clear-lidded compacts, and feature a debossed design in the powder. Each Foiled Shadow contains 3 grams of product, and retails for $24. 

Fly by Twilight, Sweet Illusion, Feminine Wiles, and Magic in Your Eyes

Fly by Twilight, Sweet Illusion, Feminine Wiles, and Magic in Your Eyes

Fly by Twilight is a light silvered taupe in a sparkly, metallic finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, finely-milled texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is darker and more taupe than Filament, darker and more taupe than Enlightening Pressed Pigment, lighter and more silvered than Moth Pressed Pigment.
Sweet Illusion is a light warm silvered beige in a sparkly, metallic finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, finely-milled texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is much more metallic and sparkly than Shroom, warmer and more pigmented than Filament, and warmer and less glittery than Enlightening Pressed Pigment.
Feminine Wiles is a light silvered lilac-pink in a sparkly, metallic finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, finely-milled texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily.  It is more sparkly than Pink Freeze, more muted than Kitschmas Pigment, and warmer and more sparkly than Ready to Party Extra Dimension Eyeshadow. 
Magic in Your Eyes is a medium-dark muted mauve-purple in a sparkly, metallic finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, finely-milled texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is lighter and warmer than Black Grape Pressed Pigment, warmer and more sparkly than Grand Galaxy Extra Dimension Eyeshadow, and cooler and darker than Smoky Mauve Extra Dimension Eyeshadow.

Imagine an eyeshadow that has the smooth, lightweight texture, metallic finish, and instant opaque colour pay-off of the Extra Dimension Eyeshadows, but with the high sparkle content of the Pressed Pigments, and the wet/dry usage of Mineralize Eyeshadows. That is MAC's new Foiled Shadow. Each and every shade is stunning, totally mesmerizing, every magpie's dream. It is equal parts ethereal fairy (making the debut of these in a collection called Faerie Whispers entirely appropriate) and disco queen. Whether used wet or dry, over primer or not, these have phenomenal pigmentation, but also layer up and blend out beautifully. Regardless of which shades tickle your fancy, these are must-haves for anyone who loves shimmery eyeshadow, and I can only hope that MAC makes these permanent one day (and comes out with more shades while they're at it!).
