Argh. The brush roll looks SO NICE, but I told myself I couldn't buy the brushes. I'm always so disappointed by the quality of the SE Nordstrom brushes and need to save $$$ for the full size versions. I never reach for my the other Nordies sets I have.

Too bad the brush roll is so short. If it were big enough to hold regular brushes, I would probably reconsider haha.
I'm considering it just for travels, thus I'm glad it's a short version.

That got me and the cool colors. I use my SE brushes when we go to ABQ and stuff and I would rather pack them in a roll than a bag. I think it is a great idea and I can't wait to get mine.

Just wanted to add that I dislike the eye kits being as big as a UD palette but with only 3 shadows and then other stuff, I wish that these had been a bag.

Just got back from Nordies...I was so happy I was able to make it there, as things have not been going well on my end.

I was not at all impressed with the lip sets...total pass on the red (and pink). Me passing on a red lippie is major, something has got to be wrong. I was disappointed because I really like Dazzleglasses but only have 2. The eye palettes were nice, but I have all but Carbon & the purple based palette just wasn't worth me swatching, as I have a lot of purples & don't reach for them often...

I thought that the Illustrated ESs were the Electric Cool ones, but they are not. I know Baghadad81 said that you were all about the ESs if they were the Electric Cool but if not you were going to skip. If you are curious about Electric Cool Shadows, I just posted pictures in the Electric Cool thread.

I saw the color story on Temptalia and I neeed that dandelion flower bag in my life! I suppose that's available at MAC starting August 19th, so I can wait!

The other stuff in this collection isn't grabbing me. I like Dazzleglass cremes, but I'm not a fan of the bags at all. If they were the dandelion bags I would reconsider! I had early access to the Anniversary Sale and all I got was the NARS Joie de Vivre palette (like I need more blush but it's a slammin' deal!)

Went to Nordies to pick out another Earthshine(found a divine one!!) and the SA showed me the eyeshadow kit, crap WHY oh WHY!! She said that the shadows can pop out and you can add refills to it. Really did not need to hear that! The mirror on that thing is HUGE! I'm getting one.

I'm trying to ignore that as well! It's bulky like UD BOS style big, does that help?!

I was just in Nordies and they didn't have anything from this collection. Didn't see anything on Friday either but didn't seriously look. Looks like mine didn't get it? I'm too broke from HC anyways but still it's weird.

They don't have them out on display, mine had them in the stock room and you had to be escorted by an employee after verifying that you're a cardholder!

DId you ask to look at the early access stuff? That's where a couple of the Nordies in my area had them. A few of them also had them hidden behind the counter as well.

Edit - Richelle beat me!

Lame as I am not a Nordies cardholder. Will they be released to non cardholders? Good thing I wasn't too excited. My credit can't handle another card right now.

I hear ya! But the good thing is the collection will be released in Mac stores next month. So you have a month to recover.

EDIT - Ooopsie I think I made a mistake. Are we talking about the Electric Cool shadows or the bags and kits. I'm so confused with these 2 threads. The Electric Cool shadows will be at the Mac stores next month.

I know the feeling!! On Friday as Purplerinne said they will be available to everyone. I keep looking on Nordies site to see if they will release it earlier, but nothing yet!
