The MES are really gorgeous, I am also thinking about getting another one. Apart from the glittery blob they are perfection.
the l/g sets looks really nice, but I am not buying any more l/g at the moment.

I know, the lipgloss sets look awesome. It's a pity I hardly use l/g. I wonder if I should get one anyway.

Winnie, it's so funny you say that!
I was never a lipgloss person...until I tried a mini l/g set from a MAC holiday collection I don't know how many years ago. I thought, oh what the hell...I never like/use lipgloss, the mini's are too cute and I can try them out and if I hate it, no biggie. Well, I'm now a l/g junkie!! It all started with one little mini set and now I have an obsession.
I think you should check out the sets in person and see what you think. Maybe one set will call your name and you'll end up growing a lipgloss army too!
I'm in love with the sets I got this year. Poetic License is my fave from the sexy set, and Beaute is my fave from the frisky set! They're all getting used though, and I really like all of the colors. Great sets this year!!

You don't own any pigments? It's better you start getting the pigment sets if you are wanting any of the pigments. For me, I'm not getting the pigment sets because there are some perm line pigments that I can get later and I own some of the pigments in the sets in a full jar.

Reading all your posts makes me impatience to get my l/g set!!! I'll still have to wait 2-3 weeks for them to arrive Mexico.
I wore Smokey Eyes palette today for the first time. OMG. What a great selection of neutrals!!! I had to leave home with almost any make up on and I grabbed it in hopes to have some time to do my eyes... It took me less than 5 minutes to have something done!!! Great palette, I'm so happy I didn't skip it!

Really? I have quite a handful of full-sized MAC lipglosses at home (at least 25 of them), all of them are untouched and some are even brand new. I tried to get into the habit of using glosses, but I really don't like anything sticky on my lips, especially when the wind blows and my hair gets stuck on them (EWWWWW)... So I will just stick with my trusted lipsticks.

I am kind of proud of myself today. Went outside my normal "safe" zone on my purchases. Thought I would end up with the cool piggie set and Models Misbehaving l/g set. I passed on the l/g because most of the shades were too warm. Looked at Sexy Shenanigans and Frisky Business based on good reviews and swatches like Karla Sugars. A word of caution on the l/g sets, please swatch them yourself IRL if you can at all. The swatches here must have been very thick because the color payoff on these is very low.
I ended up getting the Sexpot piggies based on recommendations here. It is a lovely set and I don't already own similar colors. I can't wait to play with them.

I am loving Cruise Control out of the lipglass set... It's a gorgeous pink! I wore it over B-babe yesterday and it was gorgeous! That set is awesome!

Finally I went into my local MAC today and they had the lipgloss sets out (no testers though, boo). But they did have 10% off so that was great! I got the Sexy Shenanigans set, though I might go back for Frisky Business (it's sold out on the MAC UK site already!)
I love Ensign the most, I wish I'd gotten a full size when it first came out. Elle is pretty but doesn't show up on me that much (that's OK though). Poetic License has a beautifully smooth, opaque consistency, but it's a lot lighter on my lips than I thought it would be. Not so much an everyday colour for me - might be better to pair it with a dark smokey eye. I do LOVE the fact that I can buy a set this year with no dark colours though, since these are the ones I never end up using!
