The first one on the left is definately Northern Light, but I keep staring at them trying to figure out the other two!

Its Northern Light, then Global Glow (looks most like Shooting Star), and the sort of swirly one is Gold Spill

So in the picture of each swatched on her fingertips, it's Northern Light, Gold Spill and Global Glow? Sorry to be so dense! LOL!

Um actually I think its Northern Light, too obvious...lol... then Global Glow, then Gold Spill - Gold Spill has much darker veining through it and I tend to think that the darker swatch is probably because of that

Actually, I think AudreyNicole is right. The swatch on the right seems to have more gold/bronze tones, where as the one in the middle is quite beige - sort of a mesh of brown, peach and cream together (like Lightscapade).

Agreed.

Re: Flashtronic

* Gold Spill - Pink peach with warm brown and cream pearl (LE)
* Global Glow - Mid-tone brown with gold pearl (LE)
* Northern Light - Mid-tone pink with rust and grey brown veining (LE)

it says in the description that gold spill is pink peach but it don't seem to show any hint of peach in it when swapped on the fingers.

Re: Flashtronic

Question from a MAC newbie, when do the new collections show up on the MAC website? I don't have a MAC counter near me so I'll be ordering off the site. I didn't know if they posted the line before the actual sale/order date. Thanks.

From the descriptions, I kept thinking that the darkest one was Northern Light due to the "rust and gray brown veining". I guess we'll see!

And stashblaster, I believe it was said elsewhere that the new collections should be up on the website on the 17th (a week from today).

I called one of the pro stores yesterday the prices they quoted me were 16.50 for the shadows and 24.00 each for the MSFs

hope that helps

Re: Flashtronic

Has anyone here played with them yet? I am wondering about the pigmentation and quality- If they are really chunky and come off easily I will probably pass.

From the Korean photos, it appears that some of them are quite sheer and I am not sure I would even want them. I don;'t have MAC nearby at all, so I guess I will never know unless I buy them.

I am fair skinned and I wear Metal Rock all of the time.

I was thinking exactly the same thing when I saw the first few swatches. Lovestone will be my Stereo Rose until I somehow get my hands on one at retail!

The other shadows I'm sure I can find regular shadow dupes of... and I found the duo's too sheer last year anyway, so I won't get anything besides Lovestone. Well, maybe Mercurial.

As for the msfs... the peachy one reminds me of a frosty Glissade (i.e. less sparkles, more pigment), maybe a bit paler... the other two seem too much like Shooting Star and Shimpagne for me to slurge on.

Re: Flashtronic

Thank you to Sophia84ffor posting that link. I guess we all are missing our Thanks thingie.

I will now be buying more than originally planned. Even if I have almost dupes of the shadows I will get them anyway. It will brighten my day to look at the pretty swirlies as I put it on, (yes, I'm so easily amused) but hey, that's the difference between your basic make-up and having fun and being a little adventurous with it. Can't wait to play

Re: Flashtronic

The original post of all of the swatches on that asian site has been added to. The girl posted pics of a FOTD using some of the products...
I am a little more and disappointed about the lack of pigment in the eyeshadow...
