I want the desert pallette for the two shadows papparazziboy mentioned but I already have the naked pallette and satin taupe and seedy pearl so I'm undecided on this still. Beteen Dior's Golden Savannah, Bobbi Brown's twilight pallette and this I'm having a hard time picking one.

Luckily there's still no sales tax in Oregon
I think $44 is totally reasonable (that's like $11 per eyeshadow plus a free cream blush!) However, I can see how the fact that Carbon is repromoted yet again in both palettes can be a huge disadvantage for a lot of people.

Given the color payoff, Dior Golden Savannah may be the more economical choice. But then again, I love Dior e/s, so I could be biased. Now, if the texture of the MAC palette lives up to the texture they have been cranking out with the recent eyeshadows and blushes, then that would be a tough choice, but I have a feeling we will be back to chalky shades for at least one or two in the palette which makes them less enticing...

The compacts sound like they might be cool, but I think most of us would only have reason to grab maybe 1 since they stuck Carbon in BOTH! I know it's been said several times, but why would they do that!? Most people that would be drawn to these palettes are probably already MAC enthusiasts that have that color in their collection; some multiple times. MAC really needs to give Carbon a break and find something else. Seems very lazy. It's sort of an insult to have to keep buying the EXACT SAME weak performing shadow just because MAC doesn't want to put forth a little extra effort. AND keep increasing their prices. I will pay for nice makeup and products, but don't slap me in the face with mediocrity. They could have sold a lot more palettes if they just tried to create something more unique for this than Carbon... TWICE. I MIGHT get ONE... but still on the fence.

Hmm. Depending on swatches, I might get the desert palette (b/c I obviously need another carbon in my life) and the lipstick. The e/s have to be pretty amazing, though. I own a ton of neutrals already. Since I don't like cream blushes, I feel like it'd just be wasted....Hmm maybe I should skip this....

I know the quality of the eyeshadows in these palettes is going to be chalk city. If they could improve that, I will probably get over the ole Carbon repromo deja vu.

i was wondering if this bothered anyone else haha@ Mods: Can we merge this thread with the other CR thread (and correct Carine's last name to ROITFELD)? The wrong spelling drives me nuts.
