Totes. All my MES still look pristine because I don't use a wet brush on them, or if I do it will only be in one section where there is only one color (like a nice gold stripe in GG or the Blue in JF). I can't bear to see them get all hard packed and shiny. Try it out Piarpreet! It works wonderfully for application too...it's not just for the preservation of your shadows' beauty

Both of those look great. I like that one is lime and the other has more aqua/teal. They are soo prettiful.

I think I'm finally done with this collection! It was initially a pass for me, because I wasn't really sold by the online swatches, but these shadows really do come alive when swatched in person! I ended up getting Pressed Amber MB, and the following MES: Clarity (backed this up, both of mine have a lot of black veining, perfect for a quick, smokey, eye!), Rare Find, Smoked Ruby, and Faux Gold. I wanted to get Golden Gaze, but missed out.
I love them all! Faux Gold was actually a sleeper hit for me, I skipped it initially, but it haunted me until I finally caved and back to my counter just to get that! I ended up getting two, because I couldn't decide on what type of veining I wanted. That's actually kind of sad, if you consider that MES are $24 in Canada. I'm a MAC addict!
I know some of you lovely Specktrettes missed out on Faux Gold, so if someone wants one of mine, let me know!

I think the reason I want to keep buying more of the shadows is that it's like a box of Cracker Jack, you just never know what you're going to get! Plus, if the veining is different, it's an entirely different shadow. Oh, and they are perfect for travel - one shadow is like having a palette of four - or even more
it really is awesome seeing so many varieties of the shadows and msf'sI think the reason I want to keep buying more of the shadows is that it's like a box of Cracker Jack, you just never know what you're going to get!

I demo'd the 235 today and i love it. Its perfect for putting color in the crease and up to my brow bone. I have smaller lids, so this brush covers the crease very well. The size is also better than the 239, because its larger and you don't have to keep dipping and patting color on. A few swipes in the pan and straight to the lid. I didn't even fuss with what side was what. its just applied color perfectly. I used brown script, so it works well with mattes too.

Golden Gaze on the lid with Hocus Pocus in the crease...OMG. It isn't like a work or school look but for a date night it rocks!
