Does anybody have the euro prices for the brushes?:barf:

i really wish they had released this in like 2 parts or something at different times.. its a little bit too overwhelming.. im hesitant to spend all that money at one go..

see that would be a great idea! face products one month and eyes and lips the next!

A satin finish would be great. I am also warming up to Pressed Amber, which has the potential to be an awesome contouring color.

I'm still looking at Warmth of Coral and

. I would love more swatches to see what kind of finish it is.

.... or at least a 2-week break for our poor wallet.

YES!!!! lolz i like how it all looks, but i'm still waiting for her swatches and reviews cuz i agree with her a lot on those

Oh snap--just saw the MES in the promo pictures on Christine's site, I am going to be hurting for sure financially. Those multicolor eyeshadows look so cool. I want to buy them just to stare at the prettiness. When I was a young teen I was such a rock hound, this collection is starting to appeal to those dormant collecting urges. I think I need to add the Quartz fusion eyeshadow to my WL. I really like all the MES colors, would not use the red, blue or white ones much I don't think. I love all the green ones, but I am waiting for JA from the blogger's collection--it looks like my perfect green. I love the 2 MES also with multi color melange, wonder what the final swatch of all the colors swirled will look like! ( probably boring brown and grey but they are so pretty in the pans!)

Still not overly impressed by the shadows. But I am kinda interested in a Creemsheen Glass or two....trying to just stick to my plan of buying brushes only.

Oooh... Now that I've seen swatches, it starts to get interesting.

Of the e/s, I really like

Unsurpassable
Rare Find and maybe Hint of Sapphire

The thing is that the two she wasn't able to swatch are two of the ones that I was most interested in. Quartz Fusion is pretty, but looks too sheer and glittery for my taste.

Several of the colours look like they would be lower-cost options for the Armani Eyes to Kill shadows.

Of the lip products:

Geo Pink
Looks Like Sin
Richly Revered

all look very nice, but I want to see lip swatches, because I find this formula really sheers out in some cases.

Musky Amethyst
Gem of Roses

both look good as lipsticks

None of the MSFs or blushes are really doing it for me, I must say... This could get expensive.

 

[banana1234]

i want nothing!! hoorah! i think i may get the eye blending brush and cheek brush, or i may pass and just treat myself to another 217 and a 129

Lustres usually work horribly for me with the color of my lips + skin. I expect a lipstick to look good without the necessity of a lip pencil.

However, the combo of a lustre lipstick topped with a matching cremesheen gloss is a frighteningly lovely concept and I think I am going to spend a ton on the lip products after all.

Idk what to do....I went from wanting next to nothing to wanting a ton.

MSF - $28 each
Semi Precious Goldstone
Semi Precious Quartz

Blush - $23/each
Pressed Amber
Warmth of Coral

Lipstick -$14.50
Gem of Roses

Eyeshadow - $19.50

Total $180.50

I'm sure the list will dwindle down as more swatches become available.

Looks Like Sin is definitely opaque if anyone is wondering! It is my favorite gloss. MLBB, only more sinful.

The swatches have also increased my list :/ I hope Temptalia and Karen get this collection soon to review!

I think Smokey Ruby is a way more pigmented version of Vainglorious.
I'm def. getting it, it's such a lovely color!

Oh my god- you're right! All the more reason for me to buy it! Vainglorious is a staple. One of the few MAC shadows I've put a good dent in.

I wanted Musky Amethyst lipstick at first, but it looks like it might be very close to Riveting Rose.
