Whatever Tabby wants, Tabby gets! That’s right, Tabs threatened to swipe the living crap out my ankles if I didn’t take product pictures and swatch the new MAC Flighty collection, ASAP (damn cat).
He’s especially excited about the new Big Bounce Shadows ($16.50), a line of whipped mousse cream eyeshadows with a fluffy texture and pearly finish that MAC’s adding to their permanent line.
The MAC Flighty collection bounces onto MAC counters May 5 in North America and June internationally.

April 21st, 2011 at 12:52 pmKaren! Does High Esteem have shimmer/is it metallic or is it just a dark, matte gray? Thanks! <3
Sherry says

Jessi says
April 21st, 2011 at 1:02 pmWhy are they call Big Bounce? That name is just so weird. I can’t wait to see how you use these in a look Karen! And also how they compare to my HG- Benefit’s creaseless creams.

Thanks Karen !
Trisha says
April 21st, 2011 at 1:05 pmI really like Spread the Wealth! At least, I like the way it looks in the jar. The swatches seem a little underwhelming to me. You should totally do a look with these.

April 21st, 2011 at 1:10 pmThey look like they won’t work on oily lids :/
Samantha says
April 21st, 2011 at 5:24 pmI was thinking the same thing… sadly… I’m super oily and these *look* like they won’t even be able to stand up with a primer:(:(
Lynette says
April 21st, 2011 at 1:16 pmMy chest actually ached for a second when I saw the cream shadows. I have The Wants. Badly.

Tammy says
April 21st, 2011 at 1:21 pmThose look so gorg! I hope they don’t crease.

Patty says
April 21st, 2011 at 1:43 pmThese look super interesting. What’s the texture of the cream shadows like? They look rather dense and, for lack of a less disgusting word, “moist” for being called a mousse shadow.

Carrie says
April 21st, 2011 at 1:52 pmI know that a lot of people are excited about this collection, but I’m actually more interested in the colored mascaras than the new eye shadows. I’ve already got way too many eye shadows in my collection and I hear that these crease easily and aren’t long-lasting. I hope that’s not true, but they look a little too liquidy in the pot.
Melody says
April 21st, 2011 at 2:16 pmHmm. :(. I like the sheen they have but they look somewhat sheer to me.
Amber says
April 21st, 2011 at 2:21 pmThey look dangerous. I can see myself sitting with this open on the counter while I’m doing my makeup, and then knocking it off with my elbow and eyeshadow splattering everywhere on impact!

Sylvie says
April 21st, 2011 at 4:53 pmLooks like meringue.
Crissy says
April 21st, 2011 at 4:57 pmThese are weird! I love the name though. “Big Bounce” sounds like a hip hop song or the title of a campy movie lol!
Chris25 says
April 21st, 2011 at 6:07 pmGlad to see they are adding mousse shadows to the perm line. 🙂
Marian says
April 21st, 2011 at 6:08 pmThese look great! Hope they don’t crease!
Josie says
April 21st, 2011 at 6:21 pmOh these are beautiful!!! How is the texture? The look so liquidy. Do they dry fast and can you layer them? I already just added 3 of them to my wishlist! So excited! Thanks for posting!
mill says
April 21st, 2011 at 7:19 pmwow… look at that texture! i’m loving the black
Rae says
April 21st, 2011 at 7:46 pmOoh, they look so… liquidy! I’m really hoping the texture translates well into wear (that is, that they won’t crease) – can’t wait to read the review 🙂

Maya says
April 22nd, 2011 at 4:04 amDo let us know if the shadows stays on. I hope that they are just as good as Bobbi Brown cream shadows. Love those!
Edel says
April 22nd, 2011 at 4:05 amHi Karen
Did you get a chance to wear the shadows? If so what did you think of them and do they crease? Also, are they defo permanent as I heard they were going to be limited…..
Brittany says
April 22nd, 2011 at 8:19 amOMG, I pretty much need that green mascara in my life noooow. Gorgeous!
Rica says
April 22nd, 2011 at 9:02 amOmg they’re whipped! I can’t wait to test the texture in store. Thank goodness they will be permanent. No rush, no rush 🙂

April 22nd, 2011 at 8:58 pmI’ve heard from a couple of different blogs and MAC Artists that the Big Bounce shadows are actually Limited Edition. Which, depending on their quality, could be a good or bad thing.
Vonvon says
April 23rd, 2011 at 2:19 amReally thank God this is going to be in the permanent line. At least I don’t have to purchase all the shades that I like and WANT at once! 😀

April 29th, 2011 at 1:50 pmI have to say I am a MAC addict, I’m a huuuge fan of their new stuff….for the most part. I have to say that I have been very disappointed in this last spring release not quite cute, this most recent, and this surf baby……cream shadows for a summer line release, really MAC? I feel these will be an excellent color base, however to use alone, and for greasepot lids like mine, umm..NO!
Their eyeshadows…grey, teal, white, yellow and pink? I was expecting more of a metallic and pastel line, and again I am a little disappointed. I will buy some of the surf baby, just because I always buy a portion of the limited items and hold onto them. I’m a HUGE fan of the theme quads, I eat those up, even if I don’d care for the colors or they are duplicates, I generally stock up on 2 of each theme quads. Well Power to MAC and better luck next product launch!!
