After looking at more swatches, I'm REALLY liking Mineral Mode, Faux Gold MESs, and Semi Precious Pearl MSF is looking nice as well. Dang it MAC, you win again.

I really like two blushes (the brown and the orange) but I can't put them in a palette and this stops me!! now I want to fill my blush palette so I'm gonna buy only depottable blushes or in pan form arghh I must resist^^ things will change only in october with the special packaging collection. For the same reason I'm not going to buy any eyeshadow. I'd like to see more lipstick and cremesheen swatches ^^ on lips of course

I used to feel really bad about depotting blushes & eyeshadows, because in the end we do pay for packaging..guess Im cheap, heheThe fact that you can't put them in a palette is a turn-off. These compacts take up so much space and you can't really stack them on top of each other. I still want to get Pressed Amber. Unless it's glittery, it will be a great contouring color.

I like to be able to take my blush with me on the go for touch-ups. I probably need touch-ups in the first place because I'm so partial to Mineralize Blushes in the first place. They do tend to fade faster than other MAC blush formulas, but then again, they really give the best glow to the skin of all the formulas too (for me) - including the non-shimmery ones like the ones from Fabulous Felines and Quite Cute. I can only guess it has something to do with the minerals in the ingredients. My blush collection is 3/4 MBs - they always look the best on me.I really like two blushes (the brown and the orange) but I can't put them in a palette and this stops me!! now I want to fill my blush palette so I'm gonna buy only depottable blushes or in pan form arghh I must resist^^ things will change only in october with the special packaging collection.

I love mineral products but really, I must save space!! XD and this summer I have to finish my sunny by nature first of all!! I like pressed amber because it doesn't have shimmer and as Mac-guy says, it could be great for contour! we will see, maybe I found some money and some space

@sunsetbeauty15 Totally feel the same way, it looks like the middle bit has the majority of the glitter. I have Shimpagne just sitting at customs during this stupid postal strike, I will have to see how I feel about glitter when that comes (I saw it cheap on a blog sale so I figured I'd give it a shot). Maybe if I can handle the glitter it will change my mind about the MSFs.
The two mineralized blushes: warmth of coral and feeling flush caught my eye but I feel they're kindof dupeable.
Lol I come back here just to stare at the swatches wishing I was more excited, maybe when Temptalia gets her swatches up it will change my mind. I really really want to love this collection for some reason.
Also who thinks warmth of coral and feeling flush look like ice cream in creamsicle and raspberry swirl respectively?

i wonder when this collection is coming to singapore.. hmm i need to see some proper swatches from temptalia before making my final decision.. ive narrowed my list to about 7 items and im really hoping i can take one of the mineralize blushes out.. as of now:
1. Gem of Roses l/s
2. Lush Amber l/s
3. Geo Pink c/g
4. Natural Flare c/g
5. Feeling Flush m/b
6. Warmth of Coral m/b
7. Rose Quartz msf
I'm hoping that either of the mineralize blushes are dupable. I need christine to provide the dupes so i can compare.. after seeing the glam gloss collection, im tons more excited about that cos im a lip fiend =)

Fortunately the two collections come out near enough to each other that if there are any colors between the Semi-Precious lippies and the Glam Glosses that are similar, it'll be easier to compare and whittle things down before everything is sold out.
A good example is Richly Revered vs. Rich Bounty or Real Posh Glam Gloss. One of those is going to work better than the other ones on any given skin tone - instant list whittling in action!

Warmth of Coral and Feeling Flush are beautiful, but I can't help feeling that I must have something close enough already. I'm almost certain I want Gem of Roses and Geo Pink, and that I can skip the MSFs (I have quite a few already, and some past ones I'm trying to get hold of). Some of the eyeshadows are possibles, but like many of you I'm waiting for Temptalia's swatches to help me decide. I may just get one of the brushes as well.
I just wish MAC wouldn't keep putting out 2 or more collections at once. I'm wanting a few things from Fashion Flower when it finally gets here, so can't afford to get much from each collection.
So glad the Glam Glosses aren't out until August, or I'd be completely broke - there are some lovely colours there tempting me.
