Here are the three new limited edition pigments from
Stylishly Yours collection. I didn't purchase Violet, since it's permanent. I am loving the promo pic and looks for this collection. To me, it's a modern taken on the Robert Palmer woman.
This was my first encounter with MAC's new pigment packaging. I hadn't bothered with pigments and loose eyeshadows in a while, but I have been revisiting my stash and was really interested in these particular colors to use on areas other than the eyes. The new packaging seems to have a better grip on the cap, keeping pigments in the jar and out of your bag, drawer, kit, etc. I do miss how the old opening was wider, but the new one is still large enough for most brushes. The bottle lends itself to better grip and control. Overall, an improvement, but you do get less product (old jars were 7.5g). However, I'm not complaining. I think I've only ever finished a pigment once. Most of mine are still nearly full.

Madly Personal warns not to use on lips.
I emailed MAC for a reason why, but I'm still waiting for a response.

Follow Your Fancy
Follow Your Fancy is a coral with slight gold shimmer. I think MAC could have taken this color down a Melon route and made it really frosty, but I am glad they steered away from that direction. This is definitely a color that I will use on eyes, lips and cheeks (though not all at once).
Madly Personal
Madly Personal is a cool, medium pink with pearlescent shimmer. The shimmer isn't so much that it's frosty. It's just flecked with shimmer and more concentrated on the actual hue of the pigment. I am disappointed that this one warns not to put on the lips. I generally ignore those warnings, at my own risk obviously. I am waiting for a reply from MAC to see what they say about this.
New Fixation
New Fixation is a cool, blue based deep fuchsia, bordering on red. I love how this collection the pigments, color bases and lipsticks are all representations of the same color scheme. I bought the pigments vs. getting the lippies and bases since you can manipulate the pigments with various mixing mediums to create eye color bases or lip colors.
