Heehee, I didn't know my taupe-love was that obvious. 

Satin Taupe is my got to e/s, even though I also love and buy lots of warmer, more bronze-y type of neutrals, but I feel taupe is the most flattering color on me. 

I have swatches! but I can't post them on my iPad. can I email someone and they can post for me?

OOOOOH SWATCHES!

I guess I can do it. I'll try PMing you with my email.

Ah crap. I am so going to end up with nearly everything.

I think im sticking with my list(s) lol

L to R: Supernova, Stratus, Ring of Saturn, Solar Ray

L to R: Star Wonder, Light Year, Earthshine, Center of the Universe

L to R: Sky, Aurora, Universal Appeal, Invincible Light, Neo Nebula,

Water, Bright Moon, Magnetic Attraction, Earthly

Thanks purplerinne for the swatches! 

 

And liesierre, thank you for posting them!

I only have swatches of the eyeshadows, MSF's and blushes. I could never get good swatches from the lipglosses when the tip has been cut off already. The lipsticks weren't that great although I did try Venus on. It didn't turn up on my lips

The lighting was horrible since it wasn't in the special back room I always go to...the one blush that an instant dupe came to mind was Solar Ray. It reminded me of Spaced Out from Neo Sci Fi! I would've gotten it if I even use my Spaced Out that much haha

Supernova is very pigmented and I just had to have it.

The MSF's are also pigmented and can be used as blushes. I only got Star Wonder since I have a lot of highlighters and I didn't know what to think of the brown one Earthshine.

The MES were hit or miss. When I searched them I made sure to get all colors from the swirl and some were buttery smooth and others were glittery. Since some had smaller swirls than the others, some came out more duo chrome which I wish was caught on my iPhone camera.
I didn't end up with any since I never reach for them.

The cremesheens were all really pretty but I only picked up Galaxy Rose and Astral. Maybe I'll pick up the rest later....I love cremesheens though so I'm biased haha

Thank you for the swatches!!! Oh noes, I'm liking three more items in those swatches, Earthshine, Supernova and Universal Appeal. Not good, LOL.

And I'm totally loving Stratus in those swatches, the purple sheen that it has... 

if I wasn't on such a budget I would've gotten more lol they are so much prettier in person

I'm curious for your opinion on whether I can pull off Stratus, Earthshine, or Ring of Saturn (even with a fan brush)?

...knowing how pale I am... 

I keep going back and forth. I think I want Ring of Saturn and I'm still thinking of getting earthshine and maybe using it for a contour? I dont know.

oh and my friend told me at pro that for pre orders they are changing the policy. Usually they would just set it aside for me and when the release day comes they would either charge my card that I have on file and I can pick it up after or charge me when I go to the store. Now what they are doing is putting the total amount on a gift card and using that gift card when I pick up my items. I don't have the gift card since they keep it but just kinda sucked that I got charged today when I budgeted for next week's check. Luckily I didn't go to crazy and stayed within budget but still...

I know without a doubt I am getting Stratus and Ring of Saturn blushes. 
 

Stratus and Ring of Saturn yes....Earthshine is like a plummy brown and to me it came out looking dirty.... lol

I see u are from SF, what part? I was at SF pro so I can tell u they have it out now haha

Ring of Saturn is so yummy in person! That should be on everyone's lists haha

I live in San Jose... in Cupertino at the moment. I usually go to the MAC store in Valley Fair... but my schedule is pretty crazy so I just order everything online 99% of the time.

I'm surprised...I had no idea what color it would look like when swirled up... it looked kinda reddish brownish and white in the pan in the pictures... but it looks like a nice coral...

*puts Ring of Saturn down as confirmed "yes"*

I think I'll wait and see for Status and Earthshine...
Hopefully some swatches will pop up of them on someone super pasty like me and I can see what I'm dealing with before I make the final call.

oh ok the two times I went to VF they r so busy and the ppl r snooty I always walk away with nothing.

They are busy...and I kinda am not really a fan of being attacked when I walk in the door...I like to just browse and stuff without people bugging me. My boyfriend had some friends who worked in that one, so it wasnt so bad... I just am more of a lone-shopper...and I usually already know what I want...

I'm much happier shopping online...lol. It gives me something to do when I'm bored at work. (speaking of which...I should probably go home now)

Can't wait for next week! Wait, are we expecting this next week?

I'm gonna have to take a trip there sooner or later though. I have a crapton of stuff to Back 2 Mac... 

That depends on if you are talking about pro or not. I'm just a normal schlub, so I wait for the general release....I'm expecting it will probably go up around July 2nd...

Thank you so much for the detailed review. I loathe glitter on myself, so this collection just became a pass. I'm sure there will be other beautiful MB and MSF coming and I will wait for those. :)

do you think a winter mineralize collection will be coming...if so i might cut some of my list. I dont mind a little glitter but I donnt want so much i look like a 12 yr old.

I posted on the earlier page about my recent problem with my store and B2M...

good luck! seriously.

I got it covered. I ordered like a billion blush and eyeshadow pans from TBK so they all have pans in them now.

Omg Ring of Saturn is to die for!! I wonder how similar it is to Lovecloud

I know for sure that I want Light Year & Star Wonder MSFs. Center of the Universe gives me Stereo Rose vibes, which I have & love, but rarely use. People keep describing Earthshine as "plummy brown" and the is kinda confusing me because I thought I didn't want it but I would describe So Ceylon as "plummy brown" and that is my HG bronzer.

 

I like the look of a couple of the MBs, but I always end up getting rid of them every time I buy one. I will probably be skipping all of those. As far as lippies go, I NEED Cut-a-caper. That is a non-negotiable. I will check out Pleasureseeker in-store, but I think it will be a pass. Venus is also on my radar, but I want more swatches of that one too.
