AAAHHH!!!!! Damn you UPS! I got an email saying that my package containing MPP es and BK l/s should arrive today since it is now in my city and state. I got home all excited, but the mail wasn't here yet. I waited some more.... then the mail arrived and what did I get? Not a package that's what 
lol I'm just a wee bit impatient (hence why I prefer shopping in stores)

Did you use overnight shipping? I was positively surprised how fast my orders were shipped.

For what it's worth, finally, my thoughts on this collection.
Miss Piggy Pink e/s: MPP is a blue-based pink e/s with a good pigmentation if you use a stiffer brush, such as the 239, to pick up the color. The the pink is cool-based, it is a great shade for those who have a NW complexion as it will complement your natural skintone and look like a true pink-blue rather than a more warm-toned one. What I like most about MPP is the finish: although it is described as a frost, it is a pink with a subtle sheen that makes this color look elegant rather than tacky, which can often happen when a shade is overly frosty. I did not experience any issues with pigmentation, so I imagine if you use a brush that is flimsy or has very soft bristles, it might be harder to pick up color. It is not a buttery texture, which might be considered a downside, but it also means that the shade has a much longer staying power on the lid. I recommend to apply MMP over Painterly p/p as any other MAC p/p is likely to falsify and/or cancel out the blue undertones.
While it might appear similar to Feather Pink e/s from the Angel Flame quad, the most significant difference is the finish. While FP is described as a satin finish, it appears to be more matte, whereas MPP has a sophisticated sheen to it, which is pleasing to the eye w/o being obnoxiously shiny. MPP also appears to be a tad darker than FP. The differences are certainly subtle, but if you are a true fan of pink e/s, you should not miss out on MPP.
For those who are concerned that a pink e/s might be too bright, rest assured that MPP is subtle enough to be office-friendly as it is neither loud nor overly frosty. Personally, I love to pair it with taupe shades, and Performance Art e/s (from Colorizations) being my favorite shade to give MPP some sparkle w/o canceling out the pink-blue hues. Slightly dust your favorite taupe over MPP using a 224 brush. The pink will peek through the taupe, giving the eye a lot of dimension while still looking neutral and not overly made-up. It looks awesome in combination with Azalee Blossom Ombre blush, which is in the same color family. It works very well with blue eyes, as it is one of those pinks that is not in competition with blue eyes. I also imagine it to look awesome on any darker eyes.
Ultimately, I find MPP also very versatile as I wore it a few times as a blush. As we all know, there are not many blue-based pink blushes out there, so MPP serves a double purpose for those in search of a true pink-blue. If you use a 109 or 188 for blush application, it is not difficult at all to pick up color. MPP as a blush last much longer than the Feeling Flush from Semi-Precious, thus it is a great addition to this color range. MPP is less bright than Feeling Flush, allowing an easy application w/o looking overly flushed.
IMO, it's a must for those in the NW10 - 20 range.

If being busy equal to earning lots of $$$$$, personally I'm mostly o.k with it.
I'm thrilled that you like your new job and that you found one you are passionate about.

Just an idea: Do you have Creamy Bisque? I think it would look lovely on darker complexion to do an ombre effect were MPP gradually changes into CB, especially as CB has pink undertones that will complement MPP. While it will be bold, the ombre effect will look very stylish and sophisticated, especially if you pair it with a black e/l (not superthick though). Personally, I would not add another bold color as it might outshine MPP.
In any case, have fun with it.

Ok so I got Miss Piggy and ummm yeah how about no lol. It looks so pretty in the pan but it does take a lot of work to show up on my skin. It didn't matter what brush I used either I really had to work the brush over the shadow, my brushes look really abused right now. Swatches
First row dry then wet. Second row over pixie epoxy then over shiseido shimmering eye cream in magnolia.

This time I just wet the brush with water to see how it would work out-most times it works out great. The Shiseido cream is light and sparkly. The one by my knuckle is shiseido it's a very pretty color!

So you pick up the color and then spritz water on the brush?
I'm asking as going with a wet brush in an e/s will result that you cannot pick up any more color as you basically "seal" the surface (and destroy the e/s). Thus I am sure that's not what you meant.
In any case, your swatches look great, even if they took some work for you.

I've tried using shadows wet before but it always leaves this hard spot and I have to scrape the top to get the shadow to work again
