I actually thought big bounce shadows made for nice shadow bases and there was a great colour selection so I am curious to try these

I'm always tempted with the brush set... until someone told me this wasn't of a good quality. But I won't stop hoping this one would actually of decent quality! Actually I bought a brush set on the floral collection in 2009 or something and it's still working fine till now, so there is hope :D

It seems like one of the brush sets is the same as the duo fiber one from the holiday collection.

 

I like the sound of the purple/green/blue smokey palette!

OMG....what a big collection!!!

 

I will definitely try the Electric Cool Eyeshadows and I happy to see more bags.

Some of them sound very pretty!

 

But I will not any of the brush sets because I do not like the SE brushes.

I bought one of the Big Bounce eyeshadows and if I applied thin layers and blended, I had no creasing problems...the problem was that the color when it dried turned dark and ugly and just absorbed any eyeshadow I put on top of it.  I hope these ones are better cause it sounds like there will be some awesome colors.  They should have just made them all Paint Pots though...why mess with perfection?

I would have bought them all if they came in paint pot form, now not so much! I'm dying for some new PP's and pigments.

I hope the new formulation of these is better. I didn't try the Big Bounce shadows, but i might give these a shot. I'm interrested in the colours Switch to Blue, Brilliantly Lit and Fashion Circuit.

The BB shadows makes a good base on my oily lids but I do not use the three I have enough to buy even more of them :S

 

I´m actually very excited to see if they are more like Paintpots this time :)

I only bought one BB shadow.  I did like how it worked with the MES.  I'm curious about Black Lit.  I may have to get another duo fiber brush set if I can spare the $.

IF (and it's a big IF) the formula is much improved, I would be interested in:

 

Love Power
Dynamo
Highly Charged
Switch To Blue
Infra-Violet

 

Not that I actually NEED them

Am I the only one who is totally excited to see the design of the bags? I'm sure they will be super cute. I might be tempted to get one just because of that.

 

I don't think I'll get any of the eye shadows.

If the formula is indeed going to be better, then my list would be:

 

- Superwatt

- Electoplate

- Highly Charged

- Coil 

- Dynamo

 

The brush kits have all of the brushes I would love to have for my travel bag, but I rarely hear good things about the SE brushes.

I'm hoping I'll be able to try a sample for the new shadows before committing to buy. Not only did the BB shadows not work terribly well on me, they also made my eyes swell up after testing them a few days. (Granted, a lot of cream shadows irritate my eyes.)

Skipping merrily along...th_happy1.gif

 

I'm so relieved that I find I can easily skip almost all of these upcoming collections without feeling like I'd be missing out.

I guess I can skip this one too... I hope so! I'm not interested in new big bounce and the lips sets are full of permanent stuff... the design on the bags could make a difference though!
