I'm intrigued by the silver lipstick for sure, but will await swatches. All of the lipsticks except Soft Sable look like they may be safe bets for me, but swatches will confirm whether I like them. I'm not too sure about the MES overall, but I do love the look of the green colored one. Snow Globe is definitely the only for sure thing I would be willing to buy right now. The lipsticks I shall wait and see, and I'll probably view the MES in person to decide.

Yeh you both are probably right and it's both. I hope to find something. But I agree I don't think I want very much in this packaging.

I usually buy at least a couple or so things from the holiday collection. I also like to have at least a l/s in the different type packaging. I didn't really start until a couple of years ago. I used to do that with e/s palettes but then I never use them. I think the first one I decided to skip was WW. I like quads better, either pre-made or switch out my other colors. Photo Realism has to be my all time fav on the pre-made quads.
photo realism is an awesome quad! i use it pretty often because it is great for day or night :) and i also love tempting and spiced chocolate!

^^I just pulled Tempting out this weekend and used it. It had been a while so it need some love. I can't remember if I have spiced chocolate but it sounds yummy:) actually I think I might have skipped that one, not sure why.

Do you think these will be too cool for an NC25? Maybe it is the white packaging throwing me off, but everything looks like it might be too cool for me.

nuuu you can easily rock a green eyeshadow such as shimmermint! Or morning frost paint pot which should be a taupe (I'm NC 20/25 and I'm interested in them) dazzleglasses are not cool but neutral IMO.... yep, to me this looks like a neutral collection!

I would have a hard time believing that from the glitter and ice theme--just seems it would be mucho glitter and mucho coolness rather than neutral. that being said, I think you can have neutrals with glitter and shimmer so not mutually incompatible. I think the snow globes are tres tacky (and cute) and therefore I adore them and will get something, even if it is a dead ringer for other color products I have, just for the packaging. Yay for marketing and gimmicks and such. Sad for my wallet.

Not sure I need any MES, I think unless someone swears on sacred artifacts that MAC truly has refined and improved the MES formula, I will skip any and all of those.

I will get any and all BP unless it is way too dark, because I am a BP hoarder hoor.

Still want the silver lippy. I have Kanga Rouge and as I recall it is more of a coral (orange based) red, unless someone sold me a fake. I'd like to see that swatched versus Morange and Toxic tale.

I am drawn to the glitter nail color, but I bet there are better ones out there by Zoya, China Glaze and OPI.

I am torn about the palettes. I do enjoy the tacky snow globe theme and the colors are delicious, but not sure I need any more eyeshadows. Guess I will base it on swatches.

Of course I will need the stripper shoes plastic bags and glitter handle brushes.

I think prolly all the paint pots.

Do we know which of the lippies are which? I'd love a cremesheen and a matte lippy, if the colors are right. I want the lippy with the finish said to be "on par" with summer showers. That I would do back flips to have and to hold.

I cant wait for temptalia to get this stuff (IF she does) cos her swatches are MY only way of determining wether I buy something or not. Karla sugar too btu she tends to have them later :p

When would this be up on pro? would we be able to preorder?

Same here can't wait for Temptalia swatches!! they're the ones I look for when deciding! I also find that Karla's swatches are to heavy which makes everything look really pigmented when it really isn't.

That would be Eloquent Air. It is so pretty!!! I may pick up two of them. I had two of Summer Shower but gave one to my godsister as partial payment for babysitting services. I so regret that...

I don't think so. I think it would look fabulous on you. The lady who was with me testing the swatches really loved the paint pots and MESs and she was around NC20 - NC25.

Thanks! I might hold off until I see more swatches. The more I see the more I get an idea of what I do and do not want.
