Review: MAC Paint Pots Nubile and Idyllic

New Paint Pots! Yay!
Okay, so I got that out of the way. I was seriously excited when the promos for MAC's Posh Paradise collection showed eight, yes 8 new paint pots. As soon as they were available online I placed my order. Now, as you can see I restrained myself and only went for two shades Nubile and Idyllic. Originally I was going to splurge and get Treasure Hunt- a light pearled yellow, and Genuine Treasure- a reflects antique gold. But I realized the likelihood of me getting much use of the yellow was slim and early reviews/swatches of Genuine Treasure were not so hot. Apparently it is a bit gritty and patchy, not so great, but apparently a lot of ladies could look past that because it seems to have sold out online already.

MAC Nubile Paint Pot

MAC Nubile Paint Pot

Nubile is a "light peachy nude" with a hint of a sheen. It isn't enough to be a shimmer, but there is a hint of a frost. The shade is similar to Painterly, but it is more peachy and of course not a matte finish. Nubile could be used as a neutral all purpose base or eye colour for everyday looks, just as Painterly,Bare Study or Benefit's RSVP Creasless liner/shadow. You can see the in the comparison below that Painterly, Nubile and RSVP are all from a similar colour family.

MAC Idyllic Paint Pot

MAC Idyllic Paint Pot

Idyllic is a "mid-tone copper bronze". When I first opened up the pot I thought I'd made a mistake in ordering it as it looked way more red than I was expecting, but it redeemed itself upon swatching. The colour is an interesting blend of brown, cranberry, and bronze/copper. I have nothing exactly like this, but I'm excited to use if for smoky brown looks or even just on its own.
