When i looked at the eyeshadow set i felt like the colors are smaller than normal. I didn't pay attention to the volume though but when I saw it the first thing that came to mind was "guess I can't use a fluffy brush to pick up color"

Is there a price list out there for these collections?? Time to make the shopping lists!

I think i'll be skipping on the minis as i have a lot of the full size shades of the glosses but i hope you girls find some nice MAC makeup balls/spheres hanging from your Christmas tree!!! Love that idea!

I love all of them, in theory, but I'm not sure I'd ever use them enough to justify purchasing. I have a couple of samples from past collections and I find they have a tendency to irritate my eyes. Sort of a bummer...
oh yes! they are a little irritating. i got some in my eye and i swear it hurt as much as when i got tea tree oil in my eye!

I`m curios how much there is in a mini gloss, because they had pretty little in a fullsize cremesheen and dazzleglass, this will weigh in to buy or not

Now that I know that they are Crushed Metal pigments, I wont be getting them because I find them so hard to use and they don't last well enough for my liking. Also I wanted the nude lip set but all the colours are permanent so it's not necessary to get it when it comes out. I do have a very long list already though.
Eyeshadow Warm Palette (already own Patina though)
Eyeshadow Sultry Palette (already own Trax)
Make It Perfect Brush Kit
Essential Brush Kit
Special Edition Brush Kit
Dazzlesphere Coral Lipgloss Ornament
Dazzlesphere Pink Lipgloss Ornament
Let's Skate
Morning Frost
For Effect
mint green MES
Snowglobe BP
How Beautiful BP
a couple of the dazzleglasses - the pink and silver maybe red.

This list is bound to change a billion times lol.

OW! I can imagine. I found that they irritated even my lids. I can't imagine what would happen if they got in my eyes. Too bad, because they look so lovely! I'm loving the sounds of the shadow palettes, but it seems like there are a lot of shades I already have. I'm also totally confused by the shadow called "Illegal Cargo". That was a very pretty purple that came out with Naughty Nauticals (I'm pretty sure), but now they have it listed as a black frost. I'm not sure which I'd like to see more. I'm also not sure why they'd have a "new" matte black. Are they just trying to pretend that they're not putting Carbon in one of the sets this year?

hhhmm i thought that was well because i remember the shadow from nauticals. perhaps it will be another shadow where mac use the same name and then have a totally different shadow? it has happened in the past. either that or the colour description is wrong because the info hasn't been 100% confirmed just yet.

i have quite a few of the shadows too which is why i shall get the blue on :)

I have Illegal Cargo too and yes its purple! Maybe something got lost in translation since it was in Russian? Have they stuck Black Tied in any of the palettes too? That one and Satin Taupe always show up!

I don't think it was a translation problem 'cause Temptalia's blog post here: http://www.temptalia.com/mac-ice-parade-collection-for-holiday-2011 called Illegal Cargo a jet black, so they're all getting the same publicity packet. Personally, I find it annoying if a brand re-uses a name for a different color, especially when it's the same product (eg eyeshadow).

I love the looks of the palettes, but esp. the bags. I think I am getting all brush sets--which means extra bags--they look like clear with that silver thingie on them. And perhaps the cool eyes palette. It looks delicious.

I am definitely getting the brush sets! Hopefully the quality isn't complete crap. But in recent years they have been, I remember the days when the brush sets were AMAZING! My mini 187 that I got from the Flashtronic collection is just as good as my full sized & still soft to this day, not one shed of hair. Just saddens me that the quality of the sets have taken a dive! Maybe I am just spoiled from when they were actually true quality "mini" sets.
I will have my fingers crossed & praying that I wont be disappointed. I just love how they have the brush sets put together for this holiday collection.

I have a green-grey eye shadow called "Free to Be" as part of a quad and now that same name is a coral shade in their Pro lineup. Looking at the photos that were posted of the palette, there isn't anything I can see that really looks like the original Illegal Cargo, so I'm thinking that, yes, they recycled the name. It's annoying enough that that happens at all, but at least if the name were "Hot Pink" or something descriptive, I could understand. Why on earth does Mac reuse names when they aren't really tied to the colour to begin with? Do their product managers have very limited vocabularies?:huh:

I think the 179 brush mix up was worse...
