^Now I want Winterized MES! I will get it next week as well. Just now I got For Effect Paint Pot in the mail! Really gorgeous paint pot! Even though I might want Let's Skate and Morning Frost if they ever get restocked online.

^Yes! Shimmermint is really gorgeous and I definitely love She-Zam d/g! I have three of them from Magic, Mirth and Mischeif back in 2009.

Well, I scoured the mall for Whirls and Twirls today, but no such luck. :(

To console myself, I bought Pearl CCB, Blankety lipstick, Kitschmas pigment, and Purple Dash liner.
I'm a danger to myself and others. Or at least just to my wallet.

Just compared winterized to chanels illusoire in the shops and here's my thinking on them....they in the same colour family but illusoire is slightly more taupe and winterized is slightly cooler toned. They are also completely different textures. They look amazing layered on top of one another and I think they also look lovely used side by side in a look or maybe illusoire all over lid and winterized in the crease. When I used illusoire as a base and foiled winterized over it really brought out the purple in the shadow. It looked really vivid- almost like a smokey royal purple. Bottom line is I thought I would skip Chanel cause I bought mac but I was wrong! The purple freak in me know needs both in my life...hope my rambling helps...

I have completely fallen in love with Snow Season and Frech Ice. I didn't pick them up the first time I went to haul this collection, but luckily I went back for them (and Hold That Pose!). Funny, first I didn't think they were anything special, and I used to be a MES-hater (now I have a few that I actually like a lot!).

I also got How Beautiful, Let's Skate and Morning Frost. I like how Pleasure Principal looks, but I hate the stickiness. So I decided I will get Chanel Aragonite instead. Aragonite sparkles more too!

HB was crazy pigmented on me. I mean CRAZY! I thought it was going to be subtle according to many reviews, but whoa it was full on! I have to have a super light hand with a duo-fibre brush when I use it, otherwise it's way too dark and heavy.

We didn't get Winterized or the glitter polish here in Finland. Too bad, I was interested seeing how the glitter polish was in person. Is it very sparkly? Is there a lot of the glitter particles or does it come out sparse?

I caved and got Let's Skate, despite not being wowed when I first saw it. I'm glad I did - it's so pretty and really does instantly brighten up the eyes! I wore it today as a base for Sea Myth with Parfait Amour in the crease and it was lovely. The only thing I'm kind of regretting buying is What Joy. It's nice but I feel like I have similar shades and I don't think I'll wear it often.

I layered Summer Shower over Double Spin yesterday and love this combo!

It is a pretty mix of pale pink with green and fuchsia/purple sparkles

Winterized is now my favourite MES that I own. I also really love Snow Season. They are both nice and smooth although Winterized needs to be foiled to bring the purple out otherwise it is a smokey brown-purple dry but that would look really nice with brown and gold eyeshadows.

Me too! I had a serious case of buyer's remorse until I realized I've been wearing it every day for the past week or so when I've not had time to do anything more complicated in the morning. Let's skate and a bit of eyeliner - takes two seconds and looks lovely for the whole day.
