That's my least used one as well. Followed by Petticoat (makes my pores look huge, I think mine has too much dark veining) and By Candlelight.

Are we 100% sure the one in this collection is PP? It somehow looks different to me in the pic. Could it be By Candlelight instead?

Stereo Rose is pretty, but not sure about it. I saw it in person when it was repromoted and for some reason I didnt get it. I'm closest to NC15 in MAC.

If you live near a CCO, you might be able to find one there. Or I can pick up some extras the next time I head down south. 

I grabbed Porcelain Pink a few weeks after I got Lightscapade from Fall Colour and its one I use now and then on me but alot on my clients, especially when they are wearing pink eye makeup and a soft pink lip. Its a nice colour

I dont reach for corals / oranges alot in my stash for my cheeks so not sure what to think of stereo rose

I'm really looking forward to this collection. I'm definitely getting both the MSF and some of the lippies. I've never had a lip gelee but if they're now a sort of lipbalm, I'm definitely grabbing a few of those as well.

Sorry Detective Naynadine, Stereo Rose and Porcelain Pink are the only 2 MSFs in this collection.

At least it means more $ for other products - those blushes look really promising to me and the lip balms will be worth a serious try!

Thanks for confirming. :) I read on another site where people were speculating that it was By Candlellight and that confused me.

I will only get Stereo Rose from the MSFs, I don't use my Porcelain Pink enough to justify getting a BU.

Changing scenes from the high drama of the holidays to the haute chic of the ski slopes. Natural glamour appears effortless, and in its element, against a brilliant blue sky or luxe lodge. This gorgeous look starts with luminous MAC Mineralize Skinfinish and Blush applied with the 187 Duo Fibre Face Brush. Use the 287 Duo Fibre Eye Shadow Brush to build layers of dimensional colour with Mineralize Eye Shadow. Mineralize Tinted Lip Balm packs lips with moisture, while adding the right pop of colour and shine. And, because eventually the mittens will come off, Nail Lacquer in Dangerously Fun heats things up in blazing berry red.

Ugh, I want so much. Is the 287 new?! Not too happy about having to add a LE brush to my list. This will be expensive.

Awesome! Thanks a lot detective Naynadine.Time to make a preliminary list.

Me too LOL

I think that the 287 is new .....I have to get it for sure!!!

Thanks, Naynadine!!  Amber Glow MB sounds like it has potential, and Mountain Air eyeliner might end up being my only "must have" of this collection.  I hope I like the new formula!  Tealo was one of my favorite eyeliners.  I was upset when they discontinued it, but thankfully still have a b/u.  Sounds like this might be a brighter version, which would be exciting!

Possibly just one lipstick,  one eyeshadow and one blush, depending on swatches.  I'm not a huge fan of mineralise products.

The eyeliners sound good, but I've just bought the latest Urban Decay set, so unless any of these are drastically different I can skip those for now.

Thanks for finding the 'colour story'.  I've often wondered why everyone calls it a  'story' when it's actually a list of names and descriptions, though.

Me too. I love the 286, so I'm sure I'll like this one too. Duo Fibre brushes seem to be perfect for MES.

I think this one will be lighter on the wallet for me. I already have Stereo Rose and am nowhere near finishing it. Apres-Chic lipstick is a possibility. Hot Chocolate sounds interesting, although I'm thinking "plum" in this case may mean more brown than anything else, given the name. Silver Birch eye shadow is also a possibility. I find that I prefer the lighter shades of MES- darker ones tend to look muddy on me. Plus the medium to dark ones seem to be the ones that irritate my eyes.

oh boy, i thought i was done after my glmaourdaze haul, 

my pre-swatch list

lipstick:

Cozy Up – Deep caramel (Matte)

blushes:

Gentle – Raspberry with gold pearlized pigments °
Alpine Bronze – Mid-tone caramel

I really love the 286 too!

Apres-Chic is the lipstick that I might be interested in, too.  Most of the MES sound similar to previous ones, although of course we know how good MAC are at describing colour.

Here's my preliminary list. I like some of the names!

Lipstick

Après Chic – Pinky brick red (Cremesheen)

Cozy Up – Deep caramel (Matte)

Mineralize Tinted Lip Balm (possibly only one)

Slightly Nude – Nudey coral with subtle pink pearlized pigments
Nice & Simple – Bronzy gold with multi-dimensional pearlized pigments

Mineralize Eye Shadow

Ice – Light peach base with white veining
Silver Birch – Grey base with peach veining
Fireside – Deep plum with grey veining
Frost at Midnight – Deep blue-grey base with purple veining
Winter Pursuit – Copper base with grey veining

Pro Longwear Eye Liner (not all, esp. if these are perm)

Rich Experience – True brown *
Mountain Air – Vibrant teal *
Night Trail – Deep navy blue *
Snow Shadow – Purple violet *

Mineralize Blush (Hope these don't have the same texture as Gentle)

Amber Glow – Warm peach
Alpine Bronze – Mid-tone caramel

Brush

287 Brush – Duo Fibre Eye Shadow Brush (Natural / Synthetic Fibre)

Warm Companion lippie sounds really good to me.

I see the MES which I thought was brown is a deep plum. My eyes must be playing tricks on me. 

Well, I don't want to speak too soon but I'm a little disappointed.  Not that the other collections won't already have me busy

I like the sound of Warm Companion l/s.  I usually love the mes but these sound...idk...ordinary.  I'll probably go crazy with the balms and blushes. 

One thing though...Apres Chic l/s is described as a pinky brick red...?  I can't imagine what that would look like.  Does anyone have any idea?  I think of brick reds as being sort of burnt red but I think I'm missing something.
