The only problem is, they have dense glitter in them - my MA said they were comparable to the glitter size and amount in the Marilyn Dazzleglasses. Makes it a tougher sell as a unisex product.

The most exciting thing for me is the mineralize lip balms - they sound fantastic - if you made a Lip Gelee that you could also use to moisturize your lips!! There are a lot of colors too - more like 8-10 of them!

Thanks for clarifying :) That's a bit of a relief that there are just two MSFs. I already have PP, so I only need Stereo Rose. But probably all the blushes.

Very excited about the mineralize blushes and the lip balms...I'll skip the eyeshadows unless they are great and I'll definitely skip Stereo Rose, I don't like the color of it on me at all.  I'd really like a berry colored blush, maybe even with a slight golden shimmer (NO GLITTERYNESS!), hopefully they will release one.

Have you tried NARS Outlaw? I don't know if it's the colour you're looking for but it's got a beautiful sort of gold shimmer! :) A MAC version would be nice too, though!

It looks pretty...I mostly try to buy only MAC though...I was thinking something similar to maybe Stark Naked, or even Restores Dazzle.

I'm so glad the lippies and stereo rose are the only things I'm getting from this collex...  I feel for you mineral lovers!

Dont know if this has been posted but here are two of the mineralize lipsticks: http://weheartthis.com/2012/09/13/get-the-look-mac-at-nyfw-spring-2013/

I am excited to see how Stereo Rose 2013 will look and if it will be somehow different from the previous ones.

If I remember right the one that was released with ITG looked a bit different from the "original" SR.

How was it different (not beigescape though )?

I have mine form the 2nd outcome. Propably not BUing.

Here is a comparison of the one from 2005 and the one from 2010:

same.

+ blushes = yes please.

especially if they're repromoting one of the FF ones...i missed out on those cuz i was short on funds and was pretty sad about it.

HTH!

 

that difference looks quite subtle...for mineralize items they seem to vary that much from item to item in the same launch.

MES! MES! MES! My all-time (in my whole year and a half of buying MAC) favorite product. Will skip the blushes and skinfinishes but it's a rare "no" that I say to mineralize eyeshadows.

Thanks for the clarifications :) I already know I'm going to want the 3 new blushes and some eyeshadows..I love Mac's mineralized products! 

Hooray for stereo rose!! Let's hope it won't be TOO bad trying to get it....(who am I kidding)

am i the only one who doesnt see the hype in stereo rose?? i havent seen it in person before so maybe thats why??

I think it would look beautiful on you.

I'm with you on this.  I know that whole collection was a big deal when it first came out (from what I've heard, comparable to the recent madness of the Marilyn collection), but I never saw it in person so I don't know why it's so hyped.  It looks pretty in the pics I've seen, but nothing I've seen so far has given that OMG effect.  Except the hype surrounding it, of course.

Either way, I love MAC's mineralized products, so this collection will probably be another big stab in the wallet.  I need to find another job to cover all this! 

I'm hoping to go easy on this collection. I already have Stereo Rose and Porcelain Pink, and I don't use MES all that much.

Will there be a blue or green mes eyshadow?

I'm mostly excited about the mineralize lip balms because of the moisturizing rather than the 8-10 colors.  :)

As for MSFs, are they used as a blush or  as highlighters?  I never saw the hype in them despite that they're very pretty in the pan, but I'd really like to know their purpose.

Either depending on your coloring.  Today I am wearing Refined as a highlighter.  I wear Stereo Rose and Light Flush as a blush.  I am nw20.  I don't wear mine that often though and will not be backing any up.

What will be the nude collection for the new Year?

Hmm...I have the original Stereo Rose, but being an N15, it's way too dark for me to use daily.  So instead, I use it for stage as a blush.  And in that case, it's lovely.  I don't have PP, but maybe I'll try to snatch it up this time around.

I want Stereo Rose, but I don't think I'll have the patience to actually acquire it!

HTH!

 

Just from looking at these, I would be game to try the 2005 version, but the 2010 version would make me look not so great. I think I'm way too cool to pull that off.

I can hope the 2013 version will be like 2005's, but odds are it will be a new, 3rd version the way things have been going with re-releases.

I see what somebody else (can't remember) was saying about how it was such a hit because it was considered new for it's time. These days, I will probably get Stereo Rose because everyone talks about it, but I'm sure it is highly dupable with all the shades that released since then.

No green. There is a bluish grey and some other cool tones and a plum that sounds a bit like Winterized.

That was me. I guess this always happens. Look at how bug-eyed everyone was about Candy Yum Yum. It's an awesome lipstick, but now that there have been a ton of other bright neon matte pinks out there, people can pick and choose a little more. With face products like Stereo Rose, time passing makes an even bigger difference, because now there are more and better formulas and there's a coral in them all. If you like the finish or the exact shade of Stereo Rose, great, but mine sure has been sitting around not getting much use, now that I've got stuff like Marine Life, Modern Mandarin, Early Morning, Center of the Universe, etc.

I agree completely. I feel it is somewhat played out and been one uped by the new stuff.

Hm...I think you've both just saved me the hunt. I don't have Marine Life (I meant to buy it a bit ago from a board member and I forgot all about it), but I have a bunch of other coral variants (Modern Mandarin, Early Morning, Fleet Fast, NARS Liberté, Orgasm and Torrid) as well as just as many lighter shades. Realistically, I don't need another blush for the next decade. I've been doing a lot better at resisting new blush purchases of late (other than The Perfect Cheek), so I should probably sit this one out as well. I certainly have no shortage of orange/coral/peach tones. If I don't have a near dupe, I bet I could get pretty close by experimenting with combinations of what's already in my collection. I need to get better at that.
