I think you will like Fresh Green Mix. Its one of the few I think are worth getting. The lippies really are kinda blah. Vanity's Child looked very ewww to me. I would look like death if I put that on my lips.

Yeah, I'm glad I don't want more that 2 shadows... that $17.50 price tag is a bit steep IMO. I don't have a problem with $21 for a blush, but $17.50 the eyeshadows is a bit much I think. Doesn't mean I won't do it though.

girrrrlll you got it DAMN lucky down there!

Here its 22 for an eyeshadow, and 25 for a blush.
And our dollar is worth just as much as yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate that American dominated businesses haven't adjusted prices for our dollar, there should be laws, they are really screwing us over.

I'd kill to be paying 17.50 for one of those e/s.

I won't be buying any electroflash e/s just because of the prices... I'm sticking to Sonic Chic and b2m-ing for the electroflash lippies.

Which are 16.50 here!

Yes, because it is the same for me

I like that green mix and Sea & Sky? Wow, I just love blues.
Just happy that red on my eyes does not look good, so no Hot Contrast for me.

Re: Mineralize Skinfinish Duo

Merging with existing relevant thread.

 

[christineeee_]

the electroflash looks are up on the site.

i'm gonna pass on these cuz i don't need any more eyeshadows...i barely use the stuff i have and the price is $22 in canada

 

[jenntoz]

Bummer...I just saw on nordstrom's websie you can order online & pick up in store for electroflash, so I decided to call & order it through a person instead(after adding everything I wanted to my cart to make sure my local store had it in stock) Anyhow, when I called the MA said they are not selling anything from the collection until the 10th. Boo

 

[mollyv6]

Bummer I know. I keep refreshing the MAC site every few minutes to see if I can add to my cart but NO. I am too obsessed, I just feel like we have all waited so long and I don't want to miss anything. AHHH..I need help.

 

[jenntoz]

Has anyone mentioned yet that Macy's has free shipping on MAC with a $50 purchase with the code ELECTRO? (thats the good news)
Unfortunately, you can't add the Electoflash shadows or the Sonic Chic blushes yet(thats the bad news)

lol, I just noticed the code is only good till 7/10, so I hope they would make those items available before then!

 

[purrtykitty]

Hmm, so after yet another trip to the Swatches, I definitely still want Culture Class l/g and I've decided I want Fast Thrill (which I'll B2M for, so no cost-issue there). As for shadows, Fresh Green Mix is still a go and I'm pretty sure Love Connection is too - as long as it isn't tooo glittery. I'm now seriously thinking about Pink Split because that pink looks just like a nice cool, toned on that won't be pink-eye looking. And I really love how the melange side turns out on it. Still not too bad, since I knocked 2 l/gs off the list and added only one duo.

 

[kiss]

I am only getting Sea and Sky!! Fresh green mix looks pretty but I allready have so many greens and I am not excited about it.

 

[LaurelLiz]

I've got Sea & Sky, Hot Contrast, and Odd Couple on my list. I also want Fast Thrill l/s. I know people are saying the mélange side of Hot Contrast looks muddy in the swatches, but I actually like the color that comes out (as least from what I see in the pics). Am I crazy?

Does anyone recommend the 227 brush? I'm a newbie when it comes to MAC brushes, so you expert ladies let me know the deal!

 

[jenntoz]

Live help told me that the collections would be avail for purchase either tues or wed, blah.

I saw all these in person today and was able to play with them and they are really great colors. I was thinking that Vanity's Child lipstick was going to be a pretty nude, but it's totally yellow. Strange. My MA said it was the ugliest color they had ever seen...lol. But all the MES are gorgeous! After testing them, I'm getting Hot Contrast, which is actually very pretty although I was disappointed that the reddish tone doesn't show up at all on the lighter side, but nevertheless makes a really nice silver color. Because of that, I'm passing on the silvery one...can't recall the name! I'm also getting Love Connection, which is SUPER shimmery, but I love how wearable the colors are in that duo. I'm passing on the other more vibrant colors because I feel like I don't wear blues/greens/pinks as much as other colors and I have so many already.
Oh and the lipglasses are beautiful.
I'm going to pick up my stuff on Thursday!

 

[darkishstar]

Major Minor.. Sonic Vibe.. Culture Clash. That's all folks.

 

[lethaldesign]

Thanks to all of you lovely ladies who post swatches, I think I have finalized my list for this collection:

Fresh Lime Mix mes
Hot Contrast mes
Polar Opposites mes
Sea & Sky mes
Fast Thrill l/s
Cultureclash l/g
Sonic Vibe l/g

Now, its deciding which blushes to get from Sonic Chic that is the hard part... .. . *scratches head*

 

[starz]

Does anybody know if pink split is similar to the pink and purple mes from amuse?tia I am hoping to eliminate a couple,trying to keep the bill down,lol!!

 

[imperfectbeauty]

does anyone know how similar the fully green side of fresh green mix compares to any of the perm mac eyeshadows or pigments? i want to say it could compare to chartreuse pigment...but im not sure. im planning to get that pigment later so i dont want to end up with a dupe for it.

also how does the mix side of sea & sky compare to any of the light blue shadows that mac has...i have moon flower as well as moon's reflection.
