^^what's the difference that you didn't like them? I haven't tried MES yet but I thought they could be a good money saver like darkorchid was saying. Are they really fragile?

^I love the mineral shadows and I think they are a bit underrated. Sure some of them are glittery but then you get some that are just buttery smooth and easy to blend with a gorgeous shimmer - not glitter. When you use them wet a whole other dimension is added to your look.

I don't think they are that fragile either. Sure, if you drop it - it's likely to break but what MAC blush, or shadow, or pressed powder wouldn't?? Almost everyone one I have purchased came from the States and not one turned up broken. I've been collecting them since the Flashtronic collection and all of them are still in tact

I'll definitely be picking up a few of the new ones!

I love all my MES too, but Bibi, don't you think Colour Craft ones are similar to the ones released previously? I hope they do

Hey does anyone have any pics of the e/s colour wheels for Colour Craft??

I can't seem to find them on here or Temptalia.

*might've done a "boy look" tho....

sambibabe · 05-25-2009, 12:52 AM #**1730** (**permalink**)

^^ I think i saw it at either swatch thread or colour collections thread?

I hope that they are similar to the quality of the ones released with Electroflash and Red She Said. The solid colour sides on those are delicious >_<

Image borrowed from MAC_Whore from Color Craft color collection thread- hope you don't mind!

Don't know.. The first one has plum, which looks like Threesome and the grey from Word of Mouth?

2nd one black is Dangerzone and the beige is from Brightside/Gallery girl?
3rd one blue is probably the blue MES from Red She Said (Bibi you have it!),
4th one purple is from Outspoken,
5th one pink is from Threesome, Purple one from Odd Couple, Beige from WOM,
6th one copper one looks like Two to Glow or Heat Element, Brown ones from Illusionary Burning ambition or Interview.. ??

^^ I really like the look of these, for convenience I think they'd be great and the colours all work together really well. I'll have to start saving, any guesses how much they'll sting us for these?

sambibabe · 05-25-2009, 01:49 AM #**1734** (**permalink**)

^^ If you didn't collect the previous MES, I agree they would be great. I already have 13 MES and I just don't feel they are anything 'new'. They should have come up with green one - pale green, teal green, kelly green and bottle green lol.

spectrolite · 05-25-2009, 02:07 AM #**1735** (**permalink**)

I think I'm only getting 2-3:

The one with the blue bit and the bronzey/gold one

I might even get one with black/brown/gold/white. Looks like it would make an awesome smokey eye!

Oh my HG crease brush is #272, which is basically an angled version of #217!

Hey Nat you probably already knew this but just in case, did you know the 272 is being discontinued this year?

sambibabe · 05-25-2009, 02:20 AM #**1737** (**permalink**)

I think I am getting the pastel pink/lavendar/peach one and the one with blue as well. I like the look of the white bit - looks like it is a shimmery version of my favorite, Gesso e/s

Yeah Robyn, when I bought mine, it came out as LE.

CatsMeow · 05-25-2009, 02:25 AM #**1738** (**permalink**)

Hmm... they look like trivial pursuit.

I don't think I'll pick up any of these... eventho it would be convenient with 4 colours in the one pot, I think I'd get shirty with the colours blending into eachother after a while and they don't look like particularly large slices of e/s either.

sambibabe · 05-25-2009, 02:42 AM #**1739** (**permalink**)

^^ They look big enough for #239? Red She Said MES were a bit narrow for #239, but you still manage it. I don't know.. I've never had colours mixing with all my MES and Grand Duo MB.

Temptalia has Graphic Garden images up. Is anyone planning to get anything?
Since I am not getting many MES, I am thinking about getting both shadow palettes. The graphic rose image looks gorgeous and am I seeing teal e/s in one of the palette?

rockin26 · 05-25-2009, 05:21 AM #**1741** (**permalink**)

How come we don't get the look boxes!!!!!

**stamps feet!**

Here are my thoughts - I've just copied & pasted Sambi's post from above and bolded the ones I am commenting on...

Don't know.. The first one has plum, which looks like Threesome and the grey from Word of Mouth? - nah I reckon this doesnt have as much blue tones in it as that one

2nd one black is Dangerzone and the beige is from Brightside/Gallery girl? - not sure on this one... brightside/gallery gal has more of a pinky colour almost the same as Grand Entrance
3rd one blue is probably the blue MES from Red She Said (Bibi you have it!),
4th one purple is from Outspoken,
5th one pink is from Threesome, Purple one from Odd Couple, Beige from WOM, - yep, compeletely agree here

6th one copper one looks like Two to Glow or Heat Element, Brown ones from Illusionary Burning ambition or Interview.. ? - yep, agree here too - the dark brown one looks like illusionary/burning ambition, which, by the way is a fantastically pigmented gorgeous chocolate brown

Yep, the working name for Straight Edge was Mood Ring which I think was the teal e/s from Heatherette?

I think it would be a great palette to take to holidays, etc.
It has a green, blue, purple, grey smokey and a highlight shade - yay!!

Yeah I took all my MES out, tried to compare them to the pic and honestly they don't look THAT different. Definitely not for $40. I am going to be a weirdo and draw up a swatch table before heading to the store to buy this one.

MrsMay · 05-25-2009, 07:42 AM #**1747** (**permalink**)

^^ lol.

I think I'm actually going to skip most of colour craft... the MES arent calling me yet, and neither are the MSF's. Let's hope the same goes for the rest!

Did I read that right? Are you sure there isn't a typo, Jen?
Jen skipping MSFs = Nat saying no to pink lippies = naaaaaahhhh

Yep, you read that right!!

The two lighter degrade MSF's are too similar to the BBR ones for me to justify it, and the darker degrade is just too dark for me.
Out of the rest - porcelain pink is too light to use as a blush, Cheeky Bronze has that metallic veining through it that accentuates my pores and looks awful on me (a la Petticoat), which only leaves Sunny by Nature, which I will consider if I can get one with lots of pink veining as it looks to have the same texture as the sugarsweet MSF's. And even that one's a maybe

sambibabe · 05-25-2009, 08:20 AM #**1750** (**permalink**)

^^ Fair enough

I think I am done with blushes!
My list for the upcoming collections

Naked Honey: all of the shadows and Queen Bee l/g
Euristocrats: B2M 5 lipsticks, buy one and 3-4 Dazzleglasses
Colour Craft: 1-2 MES, 1-2MB
Graphic Garden: 1-2 e/s palette
Baby Bloom: 1-2 liquid lip balm

What is on everyone's list?
