I had the same experience the first time I swatched it, but when I went back to the store and swatched again (I went for a B2M) the texture was just as good as frozen blue...strangely

When I went in to finalize my preorder I got to touch the shadows. I don't like the texture. 
Not surprising, as I usually hate MAC's mineralized eyeshadows. They just don't seem finely milled enough for me, and yikes the glitter. The only shadow i was interested in before I went in was Shimmermint, but I have a Femme Couture baked shadow that I swear is eerily similar. I will need to swatch it again to be sure. I got both BP and the duo fiber brush set.

I ordered Morning Frost about 10 hours ago and I just got a notice that it shipped out already! I didn't even get 2-day shipping or anything with faster processing time, just regular free standard ship.

I think I am done with this collection. I was going to get more but just spent 100+ on the Sephora FnF sale (I finally got mufe's 92# shadow, I'm so freaking excited to use it!). Plus of course the awesome Gareth coll is coming and I havent been so excited for a coll since Peacocky. Still going to get the Viva Glam set though, I try and get something for it each year as it goes to a wonderful cause. Plus I've been wanting Gaga 1 since it first came out.
Hope everyone gets thier goodies fast

I didn't get any color payoff when swatching, only glitter fall out. I was disappointed. I guess if you're willing to use it wet it may be good.

Karla's swatches are funny. Frozen Blue and Shimmermint basically look the same, heck Hold That Pose looks like the other two. The beauty powders are killing me oh so softly.
And from the swatching I personally did, Winterized didn't look even close to denim blue. I saw purple and brown in the swatch I did. Man, if it looked on me like it looks in her swatches, I would have bought it.
