okay so, Im really disappointed in Love Connection and Play on Plums
from the recent swatches, the mono side of Pink Split looks how I wanted the veining side of Love Connection to look like. The vein side doesnt look pink at all in LC, just a light brown. But then the veining side of Pink Split looks icky. With that said, Play on Plums is a let down aswell. Nothing pops it looks like a muted brown-purple. Maybe its the light in the pictures and maybe I need to see these in person but as of now, Im getting nothing! Wow.

Uhm. Yuck on Play on Plums. It looks like a purple brown. So no Play on Plums or Odd Couple!
Lippies for me.

Im not getting any eye stuff from this collection
As beautiful as some of it is, I have so many eyeshadows... I have like 8 different 15 pan palettes- that equals sooo many shadows, and I just dont need anymore eyeshadows, Im trying really hard to use what I have.
But the lippies are another story
I want
Fast Thrill lipstick
Sonic Vibe lipglass
and Culture Clash lipglass
Im excited.

I think I can justify Sea and Sky for Electrofash, that icy blue looks original and will be gorgeous with that other color, dayum, I can see just wearing them too together without any other colors, ok, maybe Carbon, ok and Meet the Fleet, to smoke the mug out.

Sea and Sky and Fresh Green are the standouts of this collection IMO. You will love them!

I'm still uncertain on Sea & Sky and Hot Contrast, but will be getting Fresh Green Mix.

Blues, Greens, and Teals are my favorites!
You're right, we have seen more of these colors this year than in past years, and I am LOVING it!

I think you will be impressed with these compared to past MES. The blue and green ones especially have exceptional color payoff!

Well, I have not seen Sharp in person, but I have seen Fresh Green Mix. IMO, from the swatches of Sharp, it looks like it will be more of a yellow green like Bitter e/s or Chartreuse pigment, whereas Fresh Green Mix is a true lime green. Really, I think Fresh Green Mix is pretty unique. I have been with MAC for 2.5 years, and haven't seen anything similar. To me, Sharp looks pretty dupeable from the swatches I've seen. Just my opinion of course.

Ughhh I know what you mean! I am impatiently waiting for some lippy swatches because that is what I am most excited about from this collection. By the product pictures I can tell I am either gonna absolutely love them or hate them once I see the swatches.
P.S...Does anyone know the price of the MES and the kabuki brush yet? The collections homepage still says price TBD....TIA!!
