No it isn't. The pink looks very similar to swish eye shadow in the perm eye shadows. The other side is grey (like a softer knight divine), light pink, and white (like chill eye shadow).

The green side of fresh mix looks similar chartruse pigment and I would say that the light blue on the sea & sky mes looks like azreal blue pigment which I know was an LE but it is the closest I can think of.

If it were me, I'd get Fresh Green Mix. You can always get a sample of Chartreuse later, or even a full jar if you love it.
Honestly, I think Fresh Green Mix will be one of the first eyeshadows to sell out.

Sorry...
Don't panic
I think there will be plenty to go around, just that it will be one of the more popular colors. I always have my MA hold things for me. Ususally they can hold for at least 2 days. That way, I don't panic toooo much. I know what you mean - I hate missing out on stuff I am excited for.

I will be up tomorrow (with my two dogs) bright and early to put in my order for Hot Contrast, Pink Split, Fresh Green Mix, Polar Opposite, Play on Plums, Mellow Mood, Major Minor and Sonic Vibe...along with 8 (yikes!) of the MSF blushes. It will be a VERY expensive morning, but I'm so excited!!!

Welcome! You and I have pretty much the same list except I am for sure getting pink split.

I am going to stick to getting just three of the blushes because now that I know 6 will be coming back I can wait. I am going to get gentle, dainty, and pleasantry.

So, I was able to preview the shadows last week and I grabbed only four of the shadows. (Two to Glow, Polar Opposite, Odd Couple, and Fresh Green Mix)
I'm debating on Sea & Sky and Hot Contrast... I decided to skip the "Sea & Sky" due to my Cool Heat over load, but I think I might get it...
I haven't had a MES before and I think these shadows are so versatile. They are very buildable and you can create so many colors with just one shadow.
I did not get any of the ls or ls because nothing really stood out at all. (My 10 yr/old sis was like "You don't need that, you have a lot of colors like that anyway!" hahaha..)
There are so many ls/lg that I thought that were similar to the perm. line.
The 227 brush is something I think I will purchase in the future. It gave enough product and it's really soft.

No lipsticks and lipglasses for me this time. Actually, I always skip the lip colors for every MES collection, as I will spend alot on the MES alone. Also the lip colors are not unique enough for me to buy.
From pics, Sea & Sky seems to be very identical to Blue Flame from Cool Heat, so I skip Blue Flame too. Eventually, I only get Warm Chill & Warming Trend (Cool Heat), Neo Sci Fi and Heatherette - nothing. Solar Fields - I intend to skip this but Black Ore is too beautiful, so I get this and Bronzescape too.

Sure they can survive shipping
I had order a couple of By Jupiter MES from ebay last month & they arrived intact, just make sure that the bubblewraps are enough. But there were once, I order from one of our Specktratees here and it got a huge corner chipped-off

I've had stuff ship from MAC and they really stuff the box even if there is like one l/g in it. hahah..
So, although I haven't had a MEF before, with MACs packaging, I think your e/s will be fine.
