MAC Eyeshadow Haul

When I was in Abu Dhabi I went a little "crazy" at the MAC store. I was just so excited because MAC was so much cheaper than in NZ. For example an eyeshadow in NZ used to cost me around $32 and in Abu Dhabi it was only $20! So I ended up buying 7x new eyeshadows and a new empty 15 palette (now onto my 3rd palette!). It was so hard choosing which ones to get & I changed my mind many times but here are the shades I ended up getting :)

Top Row: Nylon, Copperplate & Electra

Middle Row: Retrospeck & Haux

Bottom Row: Tempting & Coppering

Swatched from left to right: 

Nylon: Pale Gold with icy shimmer (Frost)

 Retrospeck: Beached Blonde (Lustre)

Tempting: Sinfully rich coco (Lustre)

Copperplate: Muted mid-tone Grey (Matte²)

Haux: Soft muted rosy Brown (Satin)

Coppering: Orange Copper (VeluxePearl)

Electra: Silver with icy shimmer (Frost)

I haven't even had a chance to use them all yet but so far am loving Haux, Retrospeck & Copperplate. Not sure why I ended up getting Coppering...am wondering a little how to wear this colour...any suggestions?
