Lol, I know the feeling. I'm really excited for this whole collex, and over the moon on that 286. Especially since I'll be buying my first ever MES's with Naturally.

Blonde is a lighter, cool-neutral pink combination. Redhead is slightly darker and more of a golden-pink.

Ah, gotcha. OK then! Instead of Redhead, I'm getting Blonde. XD Blonde and A Perfect Day will be my super small haul. (The last time I got this small of a haul was with Wonderwoman, and that was an MSF and lipstick as well.)

Must...have...all...the....lippies!
Seriously though, neutrals aren't usually my thing for my eyes, other than a deep neutral smokey eye look but even some of those are calling out for me to look at them irl when they're released.

Twilight Falls seriously doesn't look like HTP to my eye at all. Maybe in the pan, but for sure not how it's swatching. HTP applies as silver grey with a taupe/pink sheen when foiled or heavily applied. When applied dry it's a very slightly warmed silver taupe with a cooler highlight and very sheer with mostly shimmer and a "wet look". Twilight Falls looks like the cool brown version of HTP, but it looks like more of the same effect, but not the same color.
For what it's worth, I LOVE HTP and it's my #1 most used product from G&I - I've already got a dent in the pan and I almost never get to that point with shadows. I'm going to pounce on Twilight Falls for sure, but it's not going to replace HTP, by any stretch of the imagination. It's the difference between wearing a grey shadow and a brown shadow, which for me is like saying dressier vs. casual for me. Your mileage may vary!

A great look I've been doing with Hold That Pose that I think will translate well to these Naturally MES is using them for a wash all over the lids into the brow bone, then using a jewel-toned eyeliner in the waterlines and smudged under the lower lashes (I particularly like to use my Greasepaint sticks for it - those need to come back badly!) - especially with brighter (but not neon bright) lipsticks like Hibiscus or Deliciously Forbidden mattene.

Thanks so much for the awesome description! Now I'm looking forward to my HTP arriving more than ever!
TF was already on my list... with ALL the other MES's from this collection! I have fallen completely in love with MES's and all of these babies will be MINE! HeeHee
I have a lot of shadows that are said to be "dupes" of one another (Spectacle of Yourself from Peacocky being described as a dupe for Antiqued for example) but just a slight variation in texture or blendabilty makes me add it to my collection anyways. And with MES's it's always nice to see the differences even within that color with the subtle differences with the veining!
I look forward to playing with my HTP... and to think I wasn't even going to get it! YAY!! Piarpreet convinced me it was gorgeous and swapped it to me... So I'll have her and you to thank if I end up falling in love with it as much as you guys did!

it's like a muted silver. I dont know if this description makes any sense. But it's like silver but not "on yo face" silver.... Ive used it as a base for looks quite a bit, even though I wasnt in love at the beginning of our relationship lol. Like I put it on all over my lid til crease... then I think oooooooooooohhhhhhh now I need a pink in the middle..... now I need a silvery white on inner corner.....now I need a grey in my crease...... the color is SO weird that it makes you wanna experiment.
BTw I've tried it over blackground and it was a very interesting color, not one you find often on other people... and I'm all about people looking and thinking "WTF is she wearing"
