First off, THANK YOU KathyHC14 for taking these fantastic photos and Naydine for helping upload 'em.

Gooooood lord! I thought I'd be safe from getting too crazy with the MES this time out, but your photo makes them all look so irresistible. The way the light is hitting them, they look like they have that sheen that last year's SP MSFs had, rather than just straight frost or glitter.

I was hoping to only get one or two and consider the rest of them dupes of what I already have, but if the texture is new, I'm gonna have a hard time resisting. PLUS, wow, I usually don't care how pretty an item looks, but i love that beautiful swirl pattern - it's beautiful and very "heavenly" looking, plus it seems like a great pattern for being able to pull different colors out of one pan, better than vein hunting!

Most of them realllllllly look like dupes of other MES I've already got:
Invincible Light = Fresh Ice
Aurora = Warm Thunder (although the description makes it sound different, the picture looks so similar)
Water = Jade's Fortune + Unsurpassable (the best of both of 'em, it seems)
Magnetic Attraction = Faux Gold + In the Sun
Universal Appeal = Twilight Falls (with a touch of Rare Find)
Neo Nebula = Quartz Fusion (without the glitter?)

I always thought Sky was pretty unique. Bright Moon is not unlike Hint of Sapphire, but more green tinted and Earthly isn't a color I really have an MES of, but it's not like it hasn't come around in other formulas.

I thought I'd just get Sky and maybe Bright Moon or Magnetic Attraction, but now it's looking like I'll be getting more, even if I have colors that are the same. EEK!

No chance in china for me either. Yikes!

Oh, and just to make you feel crazier, I can't wear blue shadow usually either, but Mineralize blues work better on me than most others - it's the different colors mixed together plus the way the product sort of mingles with my natural skin tone/texture and reflects with my eyes. Hint of Sapphire is one of my favorite shadows, bar none, and light blue and me are usually not friends at all. In fact, even before the new picture, I was set on getting Sky, as the first cobalt blue I've really wanted in years.

I am hyperventilating!

Thanks for the pics, KathyHC14!

They are all so GORGEOUS! My "MUST HAVE" list has just exploded! The E/S and Blushes are more beautiful than i thought. And those MSFs will have to come home with me!

My self-control is gone and my wallet is crying.

I was hoping to be able to skip this collection, but after seeing those pics (thanks Naynadine and Kathy) I am liking the look of at least 5 MES. Becky, I agree that staying away from Specktra keeps your wallet a bit more happy (but it doesn't completely save it from incidential big hauls, as--let's face it--we're all a bit of addicts, with or without Specktra).
At least, MB and MSF are going to be easy to skip, as I hardly ever use the ones I've already got...

Nessa, sorry to hear about your grandma! It's always so tough to lose a loved one, so stay strong!

I really suck at swatching (I swatched all of Semi-Precious in advance and all the pictures sucked and I didn't even bother to post them), but you know i'm always right there with a written analysis worthy of the Pentagon, so when I get a preview of these I won't hold back - if I can anti-enable then, I certainly will!

I need you all to keep your lists long so when my husband acts like I have lost my mind, I can keep an innocent face and point to a whole group of people worse than me.

The swirls are hypnotizing. The more I look at the pics, the more I want from the collection, LOL.

Thanks to everyone who linked to pictures. I am on a serious low buy until this collection comes out. My city just got an Inglot boutique in one of our Macy's and I dropped alot there and picked up my HS goodies at Nordstrom today so my wallet needs time to recover.

My list has changed a bit. Will need to see swatches of the e/s to avoid dupes. Definitely still have all blushes and all for the MSFs on it. Still on the fence about the lippies until swatches but will probably pass on those.
