MAC - Electroflash Discussion

[yerbamate]

I'm brand new to MAC and haven't been really wowed in a "i need this" kind of way by some of the other collections i've seen. These look so cool though! Bad for my small bank account though..
I want love connection, odd couple and culture clash l/g. Ahhh.. can't wait.

[wild child]

Hot Contrast is HOT!! I can't wait!!

I also want Love Connection.

Just when I thought I was getting bored of MAC they suck me right back in

[rocking chick]

Although I am excited over this collection but am also a little disappointed that this time is MES Duo. I would prefer the MES from Flashtronic with veinings in the whole pot,they look much more beautiful. I have been using my Flashtronic MES almost everyday and is finishing up my Mercurial soon.

This time my favouite of the bunch is: Odd Couple (I love purple!)

Mercurial is awesome!

These MESs look so gorgeous in the pics and look bright. I have to be strong though b/c they are not what they are in the pot. They are more frosty and probably dupable with some e/s shade in the perm line. I own only one - Mi'Lady from Holiday 2007. I haven't even touched it yet!

[spectrolite]

These are so beautiful!! I just wish MAC had empty palettes large enough to fit these so that I could depot these babies and my other mineral shadows. I'm probably going to purchase:

- Sea n Sky - that blue is AMAZING!!
- Polar Opposites
- Hot Contrast
- Lil' Hot Pepper and Major Minor lipglasses
- Dangerously Hot and Mellow mood lipstick

I might get that brush too! I don't currently own one like that.

Sigh, I will go to a party to celebrate the final of Germany's "Pop Idol" on Saturday. I am usually not interested in, but the candidate who will probably win on Saturday comes from my town and doesn't live far away from here. So my girls said I should come.

I just decided to wear Mercurial one more time on Saturday and must decide for my clothes now...

[sinergy]

these look hawt!!! Im so feelin' Sea and Sky, Fresh Green, I dont know, its just calling me.. and Hot Contrast.

same here! and i agree they are pretty frosty

[ritchieramone]

These look beautiful, but I'm not sure how much use I'd get from any of them. I have a couple of the Flashtronic MES and while they're gorgeous in the pan, they just end up a smooshed up version of the different colours when applied as inexpertly as I do. I'll probably get a couple though as they're pretty unique-looking!

I also have Mi'Lady and have only worn it once. I was keen to get it since the red side looked so good in so many FOTDs but it just shows up as sort of bronze on me.

I know! I am mesmerized by that blue in Sea n Sky! Aaahhhhhhhh

[neeshie]

Although some of these look great I'm not that impressed. I just don't think I'd wear them.
That may change when I see them in real life.

I have decided to stop thinking about future collections and focus on whats coming next. I get unstuck when there are too many similar colors though.
I think I have overwhelmitis.

[Krasevayadancer]

So who else is having trouble a. keeping all these new collections straight and b. keeping up with the new posts on said collections? Ah, but I love it!

You and me both! As cool as these MES look, I'm not jumping out of my seat to pick them up even tho Odd Couple and Fresh Green catch my eye. And since I can't put them into my palettes I end up ignoring my MES anyway.

I'll wait and see about the texture. I swapped out all Flashtronic ones except for Lovestone which for fallout I really should have. Don't wanna deal with that hassle again!

[kristakamikaze]

=0000

[SparklyDiamonds]

This collection is gorgeous! I am new to MAC so I havent got my hands on a MES yet ! Cannot wait! Also want to pick up a few l/s and l/g

[bebs]

.. oh god, I want all of these, but I dont know when to say no.. I have all of the other MSE but I hardly touch them (I dont normally have the time to put on eyeshadows anymore with everything else)

this and the pigments.. and maybe a few of the blushes.. I have to re think it all again

[panther27]

I am goin to get all but 1 of these,this is the collection I have been waiting for ALL year.At first I thought that there wasn't going to be an mes collection,but I come on here yesterday and I am wicked glad I was wrong

[rocking chick]

I actually love MAC MES much more than their regular es. I will at least use one daily to match with other es. Other than pretty to look at in the pot,they sure looks good when apply on the lids too. I know that there are complains about fall out but this can actually be avoid. The trick is to apply the MES with fingers instead of brushes & a good base eg. Painterly pp. My favourites are Mercurial,Ether,Lovestone.. well infact all the MES from Flashtronic. They are the best comparing to those from Antiquitease Color,Amuse and Rococco. So I hope that the new MES from Electroflash will live up to the expectation of Flashtronic,or even better.

[coachkitten]

Hot Contrast is the standout of this collection for me. I was out of town for TWO DAYS and I come back to all of this!!! I feel like MAC has really out done themselves this year!

[breathless]

this is a collection for meeeee

[Princesa Livia]

I'm addicted to mac lipsticks.. can't wait to try on fast thrill!! looks quite interesting.

[MAC_Diva]

Omg, these are amazing! I definately need: all of them! I just hope they don't make my eyelids itchy! [The MSF loose is soo itchy, i can't stand it!] The colors are soo beautiful, i dont have anything like it.

ugh..i thought it was just me. I can't keep up with the threads, posts, the swatches, the names of the particular product & my brain still thinks there is a 'Starfish' Collection (starflash)

*glamYOURUs starts laughing & making fun of me again in some other thread*
