The MAC Fall Colour Collection's Dirty Little Secret

Have you seen Nikkia's (Silverlipsbeauty.com) recent post on MAC's Fall Colour Collection?  She shows us all of the products that MAC has repromoted for the collection. Beware, it's almost the entire collection!  However, I still went into the store to check it out, asking the MUA for recommendations (or what was left 1 week post release *smirk*).  While some things are repromoted, I don't own all of the items... that would include C-thru lipglass.  C-thru and I weren't really friends during my makeup journey because I thought the color was too pale, pastey and not up my alley.

Its been a while since I've been on this makeup journey and I've learned to appreciate all types of nudes.   C-thru striked my fancy a bit this go 'round. The MUA told me a little dirty) secret that was well worth me going into the store checking out the repromotes.  The new C-thru batch isn't quite like the old one.  It's more sheer!  She shared that people who were in love with the original formula of C-thru have been returning the new one saying it isn't the same.  Aha! Bad for them, great for me! I hope they keep this new formula. I'm personally in love with it!  It almost reminds me of a better version of NYX's Sugar Pie, nude and milky, striking a great balance between pigmented and sheer for a gorg glaze topping for a lip.

Below- me wearing the new C-thru launched with the MAC Fall Colour Collection.  I applied a good amount, but it's not as opaque as the original C-thru.

What did you get from the collection?  Did you notice a difference with the new C-thru?
Items I might return for (if available): Plum Bright and Show Orchid lipsticks (nope don't have SO!),  Emerald Dusk pigment, Blue Candy eye shadow

I made a tutorial video based around MAC Afrobella's All of My Purple Life lipglass in honor of Afrobella. She's an awesome blogger. I love her to pieces and I haven't met her in person yet!

Check out the video and tell me what you think! Oh! please don't be turned away too fast. The vid really isn't 18 mins. It's about 13 (I forgot to trim it down to the correct time!)
