Same here!
While I still love my shimmer (I'm so over my glitter phase!), I've lately been experimenting with mixing matte and shimmery eyeshadows.
Something I've been doing lately is using a medium-toned matte shadow on the lid, and a deeper matte shadow in the creases and on outer corners, then highlighting the inner corners and browbones with a pale shimmery shadow.
I like the effect; it seems like a softer look than is achieved when all of the shadows used are shimmery, but you still get that flattering touch of light.
On the lips, though, I never go completely matte. Even though I'm blessed to have smooth, plump lips, matte lipstick is just not a look I like on me.
I always top whatever lipstick I wear with a drop or two of Dazzleglass.

I am usually really into bright colors, but for some reason this collection is missing the mark for me.
List:
Ban This! L/G
Shock-a-holic E/S (I imagine this over a black base)
MAC + purple =

My mascara, my lash primer, and my brow gel all needed replacing, so when I got the MACMONDAY code, I decided, "No time like the present!"
Well, this morning, UPS delivered this huge MAC box, emblazoned with the words "HAZARDOUS MATERIALS."
All the box contained, besides a lot of black tissue paper and the receipt, was one Prep + Prime Lash, one Zoomlash, one clear Brow Set, and one pressed powder eyeshadow in Shale.
I got a good laugh out of it, anyhow ...

Can't wait for the swatches of this collection! The purples will be mine.
I keep looking at the pictures in the thread and I keep getting drawn in by the red lipglass.... I know I will never wear it, but if the swatches are as pretty as I think they will be, it will jump onto my list, too.
Crazy cool might become mine as well. Imagining any color over a black base usually makes it a must-buy for me.
I think that's it. Let's hope so.
Must:
Crazy Cool e/s
Shock A Holic e/s
Ban This l/g
Maybe:
Bold & Brash l/g
Dare to Dare l/g
AHH this is getting really scary!!!!!
When do you think we will see swatches?
