I am practically frothing at the mouth over the clear bags and the brushes. IDK about the other color products, but I am sure I will *need* the grey/silver PP, the BP and a silver lipstick. SqueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEE

Wow! I am not normally into novelty items but that's cool. Is the disc on the brush bag similar?

WOW! Thanks for the pics Mac-Guy
Everything looks too amazing!! I really hope the brushes are good quality! Are the brush sets usually $50?
How am I going to afford everything I NEED!!!!

MAC-Guy thank you for our first real peek at the goodies!!
I may be alone here, but I very strongly disike the "snowglobe" on top of the pallettes. I don't think it's attractive or practical for storage purposes. Unless the colors inside absolutely knock my socks off I will be skipping all these palletes or anything else with this raised snowglobe on top. I do like the white packaging though. But personally, I think the design of this year's pallettes is just plain ugly.

You're not alone. I don't like it either - very ugly. I like the ability to stack my palettes, and you just can't do it with these

Dropped into my usual MAC f/s store to get some pro palette e/s and was offered a private 'showing' of the Giltter and Ice collection!!! Needless to say my initial 'buy' list has been shot to hell.
First off, I am loving the packaging on this collection. Love the white/silver thing going on and the 'snowglobe' on the bags. I didn't pay much attention to the palettes as I have a crapload of eyeshadows.
Hells yes, you want, no you NEED the Shimmermint MES! I swatched this on my skin and the MUAs were freaking out about how good it looked on me. I can't recall any MAC shadow or MES that looks like this. Very glittery, very pigmented, very much my style. I swatched all the other MES except for the dark blue one but it's a safe bet I'm getting all of them. Yes, they are that good. Planning to get the Mineralize brush set (duo fibre) as well to go with these.
The paint pots are also gorgeous. Definitely not a repeat of the Champale hot mess. I was most impressed by Morning Frost and Let's Skate. Morning Frost is a pretty shimmery light brown while Let's Skate is a frosty version of Painterly (not a true one but a nice alternative finish). For Effect was okay but as I have MUFE Aqua Cream in #1 (Anthracite) I wasn't that drawn to it. All three paint pots will serve as nice bases for the MES.
The Technakohl liners are very pretty. The MUA called them Pearlglides but I think she made an honest mistake. I'm skipping these as they aren't pearlglides and I'm loaded up on eyeliners from my last NARS haul.
The nail colors are nice. I will tell you that the press photos of Unconditionally Fabulous do not do it justice. There is multi-color pastel and bright glitter in it that looks amazing. I'm definitely getting this.
Out of the singular lipsticks, Eloquent Air wins hands-down. It's a gorgeous glaze finish on par with Summer Shower from Fashion Flower collection. Whirls and Twirls is also a pretty glaze. Strangely I was drawn to the Soft Sable one but I wouldn't be upset leaving it behind for now. What Joy! is very beautiful but me and satin finishes don't get along.
Both beauty powders are nice. I honestly can't decide which one but as I have Briar Rose from VV I'm leaning towards How Beautiful. May get the other simply for the packaging.
Now the Dazzlelasses. I've weaned myself off of these but SheZam and Pleasure Principle are so beautiful. They would make any existing lipstick you have take on a holiday flair.
I did also see the palettes, brush sets and gift sets (none of the little globes) and I'll post my impressions on that thread. Hope this helps folks. I know for me it will cost me more $$$.

I heard October 26th spoken by her. That's a Wednesday and I thought MAC launches in-store to the general public was on Thursdays. May be an exception for this though.
The red lipstick that comes in the 'Rocking' Ice Parade nail & lip set...it is an Amplified-finish Blue-red and OMG gorgeous! I see Kanga Rouge is a repromote but I'd never heard of it before until now.

Great!!!!! Shimmermint and Morning frost are on my list... what about Soft Sable? I though it was a frost, not a satin (I've read it in the descriptions) but I hope it's a satin!

Another 'MAC Whale' who was in the store with me (and is about an NC25 or so) couldn't stop holding Morning Frost and drooling over it.
Soft Sable is definitely a frost. I swatched it on my skin as I love frosts. The only satin in that group (that I read on the bottom) is What Joy.
