I got Preferred Blonde (pale champagne beige) - the only thing i bought from the first launch - and i love it. It stays in my purse makeup kit and i wear it with great frequency. I think it's a wonderful brightening neutral and it works with many different looks. I've considered getting Showgirl, the slate blue.

I'm loving what i got from the re-issue: Forever Marilyn Beauty Powder (i even got a BU! which i rarely do), The Perfect Cheek blush, and Deeply Adored lipstick. It's a red i can actually wear! Bright reds just don't work on me, they wash me out, but DA is nice and dark.

Deeply Adored is GORGEOUS. Every time I wear mine I get so many compliments. I was so happy I was able to grab a back up from the re-release! I don't usually back up but on my first I'm already halfway done with it, wore it about every day in the fall and winter and even as part of my Halloween costume lol (I was a dark/bloody Little Red Riding Hood)

I'm thinking of tracking down a bu of deeply adored. I'm wearing today and love it so much.

I lost the Clarity MES in my avi (my favorite ES, ever!) in May of last year, most likely while on vacation. Still bothers me! I hope you find your LS.

If not, if you are a Macy's cardholder, try calling around to various stores. They can ship anywhere as long as you have a Macy's CC; just a matter of finding a store with it still in stock. I wound up getting Sail La Vie LS a month after the release last year by doing that.

I'm not sure if it's my skintone or what, but none of them show up on me. Not even Showgirl. I pack and pack and pack them on, have tried every feasible eye brush I own (234, 239, 242; countless Sonia Kashuk brushes; and the Real Techniques brushes), applied them in every way I can think of (pat; sweep; etc), and nada. Even with primer, they add so faint a tint that all you really see is the primer itself. So frustrating, because I love the colors. Especially since I love bright lipsticks and glosses, more neutral eyes are a must for me a lot of the time.

have you tried them with the little spatulas that came out last year (they work well with glittery products like the pressed pigments and crushed pigments).

Very much so. I ground the original MM eyeshadow on the pan and I did keep it for awhile but decided to throw it out and pressed melon pigment into the MM special packaging container and the packaging has been seeing more light of day since.

This has not sold well at my counter either. I went in right before close at the end of the first day to pick up something else, and only SI, LG, and CIS lipsticks had sold out, and that is taking into account they only got a few of each of them.

It took until a few days ago for DA and PZ to sell out, as well as TPC blush. Everything else is still in stock. I would have thought FM would have gone the first day too, or at least the first week, yet as of Sunday it was still sitting there. At first I thought a lot of people just didn't know about this release, but almost 3 weeks later, I would think people would have noticed it by now. Then again, at least 2 dozen boxes of Legendary blush had been sitting at my nearest CCO for a couple of months, so maybe people here are just over the hype of it all in general.

I can certainly see why folks are skipping the ES. I have all 4 of them from last fall, and they are a pain to work with.
