So, are the Toronto free standing stores getting these on Thursday? Does anyone know for sure?

There are a few I must have.

Saw these today and ended up passing on them. As previously mentioned the texture is very nice but the colors were a little boring (and in most cases easily dupable). The only one I MAY go back and get is Smoke and Diamonds and Mystery liner (I have the others). Not any real must haves if your bank account is still stinging from recent hauls. Bring on CoC!!

i don't really think these shadows were necessary, tbh. almost all of them are easily duped with permanent mac products. i did, however, get my hands on mink and sable (sumptuous olive's twin) i loved the colour, but liked the name mink and sable better than sumptuous olive, so i opted for the starflash one.

Oops - see next post

Ohh, well....luck enough to see these today, was told they will be sold in the UK from Thursday, and...

I think Top Hat is what Fertile should have been. I found Fertile a bit disappointing - looked great in the pan, try it on the skin and just where did that purple go? Top Hat keeps that purple shade better, so you don't just seem to just get the charcoal undertone.

Star By Night - no, not like Cool Flame as it does not have that greenish tone. More like a cross between Contrast and Flashtrack. Like a blackened blue, with deeper royal blue pearl over.

The texture on some of these was really creamy, they had a cushiony feel to them. Not all of them though, some were more like a standard frost type in feel.

I got: Go (really gorgeous creamy cushiony feel, cool golden bronze), Smoke & Diamonds (smokey taupe with shimmer), Mink & Sable (muted olive with subtle gold) and Dreammaker (white and gold - kind of what I thought Solar White would be, but that one seemed more pink/white and gold, and this is a white/gold and more sparkly and less pearly than Solar White too). Orpheus Kohl Power seemed a natural partner to these, so I had that too.

Talent Pool (like Cool Heat but sheer, and like a blue base with greenish pearl shimmer on top), Top Hat, Star By Night, Glamour Check (brown with coppery bronze) and Bold and Brazen (coppery but with a more sheer and shimmery quality) also stood out. Glamour Check (like Go) had the most beautiful creamy texture. Top Hat and Star by Night both have a really nice charcoal undertone, with pearl colour over this (like the Kohl Power pencils in an eyeshadow).

Sunset B - reminded me of Living Pink a lot (vivid rose, with gold frost) - great pink for a warmer complexion

Lotus Land - quite a pinky mauve with very pretty multi sparkles, lovely for those who can wear a cool tone shade

Grand Entrance a pretty peachy gold, and very reflective

Another collection to try in person if you can. Far more interesting than it looked from the visuals, as some of these are managing to pull off the multi-pearl element that Mac have been trying with the recent limited lipglass and lipstick shades. The new Starflash texture seems a little hit and miss. The best seem to combine the creamy feel of a veluxe pearl with a little of the sparkle of a lustre and the shimmer of a frost. The others could have been a standard frost eyeshadow - pretty shades, but otherwise not out of the ordinary. A bit more work is needed on the others to make them special, if they are to keep this formula.

Will be real interesting to see if they take these further!

Do go try them, as with Sonic Chic, the visuals underestimate these!

well, Millgrove... You made me want them all a little bit more!! lol
They sound fabulous... I can't wait to see and get them.

Hi,

Swish is quite an icy pink (cool-tone)

Sunset B. has some gold to it and is much warmer

Hope this helps?

I am really looking forward to these!!

Yay, I love lamb I actually think there are several lamb lovers here

Yeah so does mine. I made sure to ask him while he was still doing my makeup he said "Girl, I dont even care" lol so at least I know that Im good with my depots (I try to buy in pan only, unless the shadows are LE, because the pans r cheaper anyways and I dont have to depot)

Im having a hard time choosing what shadows I want

I just throw a few depots in with my other B2M and I don't think they even know. It's still irritating though - if corporate says it's OK, then why do some MAs insist it's not? That, to me, is the most frustrating part about the program - the lack of consistency...that and the fact that those of us with counters only are severely limited in our B2M options.

But, I'm soooo excited for this collection!! Perfect timing for me to do a haul!
