The MES sound all stunning and I am very excited for Amber Glow,Alpine Bronze,the lipsticks and of course the
mineralize lip balms!!!

I think the Pro Longwear Pencils will be perm.

 

[Naynadine]

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.

 

[Slimmycakes]

Awesome! Thanks a lot detective Naynadine.

Time to make a preliminary list.

 

[MACina]

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.

 

[luvlydee]

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

 

[MACina]

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.

 

[Mac-Guy]

The new LE brush sounds interesting!

[Naynadine]

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.

 

[singer82]

This will be a tiny haul for me. And I'm ok with that! more for GD, Strength and TT. Def want a lipbalm and still haven't decided about PP msf yet. My wallet will be thanking me.

 

[valkolak]

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.

 

[valkolak]

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.

I'm the same.. doesn't make sense to me..

 

[Mac-Guy]

Isn't it funny that the description of the MES all say "with veining."

Let the hunting begin. "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, which MES has the best veining of them all."

I have no idea, that's why I want it *____*
