I'm still not interested in the MES. I was getting tempted by the green one, but after seeing the swatches and the comparison to Chartreuse, I think I'll stick with my Chartreuse.
I do like the lippies though. Especially Fast Thrill l/s, Sonic Vibe l/g and Rich and Ripe l/g

so only lip products for me from this collection...

Thanks darling!

That helps a lot!

I will be getting 3 from this collection and 3 from Sonic Chic, perfect!

I already posted this in the Cool Heat and onic Chic threads - the counters here still have no goods.

One or two more days waiting...

 

[darkishstar]

I kind of... don't really want anything from this collection other than the lippies...

Ditto. And even the lippies don't have me too excited. Maybe Mellow Mood and a lipglass, but nothing is really 'stand out' to me.

Oh well, more money for Sonic Chic and Cult of Cherry!

im thinking i should skip this collection all together to be able to get things from other collections...but i like fresh green mix because i dont have a nice lime green shadow...

i feel like the others are easily passable and you could probably find dupes for them or very similar.

Hi everyone! I just posted swatches of Fresh Green Mix MES in the swatch forum for all of you who are interested.

I finally got to preview this collection today and OH MY GOD these eye shadows are GORGEOUS!

Personally I think that the stand out is Sea & Sky. The blue color is one of the prettiest blue eye shadows I have ever seen. It is like a deeper and brighter freshwater eye shadow and it is EXTREMELY pigmented.

Hot contrast is very pretty as well. The black is just like carbon e/s IMO but when you mix the red, silver, and black together it creates a really multi-dimensional silver w/ a red sheen. Totally hot for a smokey eye.

Pink split was also a standout for me. The pink side looks really similar to Swish eye shadow but mixed with the grey side it creates a soft grey that would be perfect for a day time look but when you use it wet it creates a shimmery metallic grey/pink.

Polar opposites reminded me a lot of Earthly Riches from Antiquitease.

I ended up pre ordering Sea & Sky, Hot Contrast, and Pink Split.

None of the lipsticks or lipglasses seem very unique so I didn't order any of those.

Thanks for the swatches, coach! I can't wait for Fresh Green Mix and Sea & Sky! I was able to narrow it down to only 2 things from this collection!

 

[gigglegirl]

awesome katie! i'm freaking sold now on pink split. to be honest i had it on my -swatch-list but knew id cave anyways!!!

thanks for the review!

 

[elegant-one]

Thanks dear! Oh yes, Pink Split....yay..it sounds delicious

 

[CantAffordMAC]

If the lipsticks and glosses arent unique, can ANYONE recommend any dupes??
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. I have a lot of pinks for someone who doesnt reach for them sooo like, I need to know. Somebody help me!

Even after all the positive reviews and swatches, I'm still not swayed. I'm skipping this entirely now. I like the Colour Forms lip palettes a lot better, and I am getting pickier and pickier about eyeshadows. I'll use the money from it towards getting my palette started.

Yes, I want more money toward Sonic Chic now because I'm beginning to love some of the colors of the blushes. I want Pleasantry, Merrily, and possibly Gleeful now.

I wanted Odd Couple originally... but I have Parfait Amour and the purple half of Mi'lady, I'm not an MA, I don't need EVERY shade of purple.
I wanted Play On Plums.. but it looks... bruisy.. and not as purple as I wanted (it's a brown purple!

) I loved the purple from Earthy Riches better from Antiquitease (and I have... 2 back-ups... so I don't really need it now do I?) Those were the only 2 I wanted.

I want.. Sonic Chic and Major Minor for sure... I can B2M for those, maybe get fast thrill.. and buy my blushes!

I think the lippies and the eyeshadow palettes from Colour Forms are better.

Ok, now I'm getting tempted by Pink Split and I wasn't gonna ...damn it I shoulda never come to this thread...

 

[adegea]

I am going to buy pink split.

 

[panther27]

I think that this and Sonic Chic are better than any other collection
