These 2 are completely different. Mega lipgelee is a light lavender while Eclectic Edge is a much darker purple/lavender.

I saw the 131 today and I felt it is too flat, although slightly denser than 188, and I don't want to spend so much money for the brush so I passed. The blushes haven't arrived yet.

My pro store gets new collections a week earlier than the release date.

I think Winnie wanted this:

Left to right, Eclectic Edge, Mega

Mega has a way more blue cast.

Okay.
Since I've decided to skip Fab-dabulous, since it's too similar to Gleeful and Hot Planet, I'm going to get Cheeky Bronze, Eccentricity, and Eclectic edge and I'll be very happy.

I want a purple lippie since I missed Lavender Whip, but I'm glad Eclectic edge is a gloss, I LOVE gloss more than lipstick.

Funky Fusion or Electric Edge? Decisions, decisions....

GlamQueen21 · 07-04-2009, 01:13 PM #**2635** (**permalink**)

^Get both since I'm getting both of them. For the mineralize blush, I'm stuck on Style Demon, Fab-dablulous and Cheek & Cheerful. Might as well get all three.

Ernie you looked stunning in those piccies you posted! and you're making my want list grow!

It's hard for me to fathom the idea of possibly skipping a LE brush, but I think I might pass the 131-- seems like it's not going to make a big enough difference in my makeup routine to justify $40. So now instead I think I will get:
-Cheeky Bronze
-Triple Fusion
-Smooth Merge
-Porcelain Pink
-Madly Creative l/s

Style Demon
Fabdab
Cheek and Cheerful
Cheeky Bronze MSF
Smooth Merge
Warm Blend
Made with Love b2m
Funky Fusion or Pretty Pattern b2m, although I am worried about this doe foot applicator.

$150, not bad. Then I will go back for MES in two weeks.

Civies · 07-04-2009, 02:46 PM #**2640** (**permalink**)

I don't want to blow too much money at once so my list is ..

Fad-Dabulous MB
Daft Pink MB (Will this show on NC37 ? Buildable, right ?)
Cheeky bronze MSF
Smooth Merge MSF
226 brush

I'll probably go back in 2-4 weeks and pick up anything else I'm still lemming . God, CC kills me . But at least I'm not really interested in fall collections .

Thanks to everyone for the lovely swatches

Ernie you looked GORGEOUS . Now I'm deciding if I want Natural Flare too . Gah ! Decisions .

abbyquack · 07-04-2009, 02:52 PM #**2641** (**permalink**)

So I hope this hasn't been asked (I searched the forum already), but how does Improvise compare to Nuance, if at all?

That's what I'm thinking, although it might make using the stripes of the MSFs in this collection separately easier. I think MAC would have done alot better for themselves by pricing this at $34.

First collection I will be able to see in person since falling in love with MAC!

About a year ago almost to the day was my first ever MAC Makeover w/ Neo Sci Fi and I got hooked. I found specktra managed to escape Electroflash b/c I was indecisive and everything I wanted sold out by the time I was 'sure' I wanted it (i didn't know about specktra then...) then starflash sucked me in and the impulse buys began lol. My first stop tuesday morning (after a breakfast with the family) is going to be heading over to Le Bay to see about booking a makeover and hang out just oogling the displays. Ahhh... lol

Sad but true I am just looking forward to being able to see things in person instead of online shopping!

We had Color Craft collection in Austria today.. I bought Made with Love, Madly Creative, Cheeky Bronze, Triple Fusion and Miss Marble. I will buy Style Demon and Improvise later when I'm not broke (hopefully) :P

The lipsticks are no special in shade but still Madly Creative and Made With Love were really really pretty. Madly Creative has golden undertones inside (I didnt see the white pearl in this, it was more like champaigne), Made With Love is the cutest coral-pink I've ever seen.

MSF's are great in this collection, I literally drooled all over them, only Sunny by Nature looks extremely dark, like a muddy dirty brown in color, I wouldnt recommend it to lighter skin tones. Porcelain Pink is not one of my favourites although I know many people like it. I don't like it as a highlighter at all, sorry :P The remaining 4 MSFs are all good but with a limited budget, I ended up with Triple Fusion and Cheeky Bronze. If I had to recommend 1 must-have MSF in this collection it would be Cheeky Bronze, it is a very soft, cute, brown-peach bronze shade that I think can look good on everyone.

Mineralize blushes were the disappointment... Three of them are very similar to Grand Duos, I have all Grand Duos, so I skipped with pleasure :P I will buy Style Demon and Improvise though. I don't think Improvise look anything similar to Earth to Earth. I just don't think so. To me, Earth to Earth is plummy bronze and Improvise is a coral bronze with golden veins. For the rest I can assure you that I tried them all along with Grand Duos and you wont notice the slight tone difference on your face. Personal opinion is, if you have Love Rock, you wont need Daft Pink, if you have Hot Planet you won't need Fad-DAbulous and if you have Light over Dark, you probably won't need Cheek& Cheerful (which was one of the bests of this collection :P ) unless you want to collect the blushes

I bought Miss Marble, just to have one lipgloss, that's all. It is the least glittery of the lipglasses and I liked it, I think it kinda looks like Mimmy from Hello Kitty. But in general, if you ask me, you dont need a lipglass in this collection, you probably have a similar shade already.

131 is a very soft, somewhat thicker than 187 but a wonderful brush. It may be a little dense for MSFs but in my opinion it'd make wonders with liquid foundations.

I got to see this today at Nordies - Sorry but I LOVED ALL of the Mineral Blushes! The Cheeky one was the only one that was too orange for my skin, but looked great on the MA that had a tan.

Personally, I didn't think the colors were the same as the Grand Duos. Daft Pink is really pretty. Also, I felt that they were even more finely milled with such pretty very subtle shimmer.

ALL of the lipglosses are Beautiful - they are very pigmented & looked like lipstick in gloss form. I did not try them on my lips.

Smooth Merge was my favorite - loved the raspberry middle strip - gorgeous

At first glance in the pics, I thought the eyeshadows were kinda colors seen before, but I take that back after seeing them in person. I loved all the eyeshadow sets!
Natural Flare is fab! The blue in Odd Bits is very very pretty.

I love the light pink lippie Colour Crafted - GORGEOUS pink

Made With Love is a very pretty coral pink.
I was disappointed in Madly Creative - it wasn't the pink I was hoping for. It was a brown muted frosty pink. Just didn't like it - but just my opinion.

Eclectic Edge, Crazy Haute & Funky Fusion were my fave gloss colors

I so wanted to buy it today

MaryJane · 07-04-2009, 08:19 PM #**2646** (**permalink**)

This is one collection I think I'll be skipping. From what I've read, the MSF's and blushes are shimmery/glittery. I've never been a fan of the mineralize eye-shadows. Besides, I stocked up on some of my fave colors at CCO the other day so I've spent way too much $$ on makeup recently.

gigglegirl · 07-04-2009, 09:10 PM #**2647** (**permalink**)

muhahaha elegant one your review made me smile! I love how you loved pretty much it all.

I'm dead! I love mineral things!!

not going to lie, I'm still worried about the pinwheel mes' for messiness. But karlasugar's swatches make some look absolutely dreamy!!!
