Went to see the products up close and personal at the Nordie's counter preview...my thoughts:
The only thing I might be getting is "On the Scene" cremesheen glass...I think.
It's a really pretty neutral beige/peachy gloss....Gonna have to see if I still want it on the 8th though, I am kind of feeling iffy about it now
Other than that...
I liked Jazzed l/s a lot (corally peach), but it reminded me of Illamasqua Scandal (which I own)
Several of the mineralized eyeshadows I saw were smooth (some even matte!), not chunky frost like past mineralized eyeshadows...but the colors weren't anything I needed so I passed. To be honest I didn't really swatch more than one or two (the teal one & In The Groove), but those weren't very pigmented.
Petticoat seemed similar to what I have, but more metallic...oddly.
Stereo Rose had no rose or special anything to it ..it was actually a pretty basic peach-leaning orange color but it had glitter..sniff. I had such high hopes.
Honestly Jazzed l/s and On the Scene were the standouts for me personally....the pink gloss and l/s were very barbie pink and lovely (just not for me)..."All styled up" and "Right Image" I think were the names.

I was happy to see it early too
It was pigmented, like other MSF's...I think the color would have been ok on it's own (just not special..or rose lol)...what turned me off was the glitter

So, Stereo Rose was basic peachy orange color? Was it very pigmented? |

You should

So no rose (lol) in Stereo Rose.
Haha. I know what you mean by glitter. I've seen them before.
But the lip stuff sounds so pretty. I was not expecting that. Hope I will see them soon. Thank you, LeeleeBell!

Sorry if this has been asked already, but can we B2M for the MES or Glosses?

Oh ok! Thanks! I feel so embarrassed. Oh well, at least that I'm waiting until either Monday or Tuesday to order Stereo Rose MSF.

Ahh thanks so much! Stereo Rose looks SOOOO frosty in comparison. Does it really show up that frosty on the skin or is it more of a natural glow? How much glitter/shimmer is in it compared to maybe the mineralized blushes or nars deep throat (or orgasm)?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy into the hype!
