Hmmm...Normally I don't comment too much on upcoming products, but I really want to share my thoughts since there's so much varied talk on the big bounce eyeshadows.
The first time I tried to use these shadows I struggled because they are truly designed to be worn as a soft sheer wear. I didn't struggle with any more creasing than normal so long as I wore it as a lightly applied sheer wash over the eyes. I used a 227 brush to buff it into the sheer shimmer over the eyes at the end up Update and wore it for the next four hours with minimal creasing. (there was a little creasing, however everything creases on me) I did find that when I tried it earlier in Update using the 242 or 217 trying to build more colour on my eyes made it difficult to work with. Also as a makeup artist, I did like the editorial effect of the slight crease it made. I will be purchasing a few shades for editorial work. Are these shadows for everyone? No. But do I see possibilities? Yes, if you are willing to take time to experiment a little with them.

I'm pretty sure these are a skip for me.
But Katred is having me drool over her descriptions of the Armani's Eyes to Kill.

[quote name="laylalovesmac" url="/forum/thread/173813/mac-flighty-discussion/330#post_2109975"]I love the look of My Next Indulgence, but if it doesn't last and creases horribly, what's the point? I'll go to other brands....
Does anyone have any recommendations as far as a dupe from the MUFE line?
[/quote] I don't know about exact dupes yet, but look into aqua cream #22 and shadows: 47, 53, 80

Have these moved up in date, or are they going to be released on the 5th?
I'll get two to try if they swatch ok.
Right now my money is going to Chanel and Nars, until I see Sbaby and Semi Precious.
Champale was a fail for me too but I really wanted that silver paint pot to work.

Hmmm. Maybe I will buy one of these eyeshadows now. The colors are gorgeous & if they don't crease...then why not try them?

Oh you beat me to it, just wanted to post this too :-D
They look absolutely amazing! And they sound amazing too! No creasing and great pigmentation that you can layer. I am so excited now!
LOL, just what I was thinking. I thought I would skip, but suddenly I want one. I somehow love the look of the white one on Temptalia's swatch.

Ok, I still want Spread the Wealth and Count Your Assets. Now I'm thinking of Good Fortune, as well. I also really want to see that light blue shade. I am excited for these, but I think I will only buy two at first to see how it goes. I am hopeful, though. I want Green is Green Mascara and I was thinking of High Esteem, but I'm thinking that one might not make much of a difference on my lashes.

High Esteem sounds so interesting, and I tend to think along the same lines as you. But it's described as having "silver pearl" in it and that makes my mind start wondering about the possibilities of how that will translate to dark lashes. I hope it's different enough to warrant purchasing.

hmmm, I think I'll skip this collection. I really wish they had been paintpots 
I'm just curious though, what is the appeal behind a gray mascara? Gray just sounds kind of odd, like if my actual lashes went gray I would be kind of upset! I guess I'm just not into the colored mascara thing though.
