I was happy AND sad to read this... You basically enforced what I had already thought, that most of the shades I want are not that unique and are dupable. BUT for some CRAZY SPECKTRA-Induced reason, I stillllllll am going to get the 4 on my list. I guess I'm hoping the formula makes them interesting despite the fact I'm sure I have colors VERY close in my collection already!
I'm looking to pick up Superwatt, Coil, Electroplate, and Infra Violet
Thanks for the info lyseD, at least I know what I'm getting myself into now! HeeHee

The formula is very unique and you will love it. If I had a money tree I'd buy them all but we're in a drought up here in Canada so four (or five) is my limit.

Hmm no clue then!
I know I want the gold, pink, green and taupey silver ones for sure!

When these come to my MAC counter, would it be rude to take my Urban Decay build your own palette with me to compare colors? I would like some of the EC shadows, but like others have stated I feel like I already have colors similar to these in my UD palette.

So if we don't get them at Nordies, we can get them from MAC later?

I just did a live chat. Lovely Mary-Ann said she has August 2 as the in-store launch date, however it can fluctuate a bit (ie: earlier) so it's always a good idea to double check directly with your location. She didn't have the online launch date. Too bad.

This was how the live chat went:

Me: Thank you, Mary-Ann. Have you seen the collection? Which color would you recommend for NC15/20 girl?
Mary-Ann: My pleasure! I have - I wrote down 'get all of them' in my notes!
Mary-Ann: Are you open to bolder shades?
Me: I'm open to any suggestions!
Mary-Ann: Truly, they are all gorgeous. There is also a fabulous range of shades too - from yellow, light baby pink, pink violet, purple, blue, brown and black.
Mary-Ann: For staples, I love Superwatt, Coil and Blacklit.
Mary-Ann: Love Power (baby pink) is also gorgeous.
Me: I'm so excited about Love Power! I wear light pink all the time. =)
Mary-Ann: You will love Love Power!
Mary-Ann: Are you a registered member of MAC online?
Me: Thank you! Are they easy to apply? Yes, I'm a registered member here.
Mary-Ann: Yes, very easy to apply. I also recommend misting the tip of a brush with our Fix+ first, then dipping it into the shadow before applying it onto the lid.
Me: Hope they're not too frosty looking.
Mary-Ann: This trick achieves amazing payoff.
Mary-Ann: They aren't, no.
Mary-Ann: No 'chunky' glittery particles.
Me: Thank you so much for the tip! Thank you, Mary-Ann. You make me smile. =D
Mary-Ann: From there, you can apply more using a dry brush - to build the intensity.
Mary-Ann: You are very welcome, thank you so much!

These are supposed to be available at Nordstrom now, yes? Is it still for cardholders only? I went to my nordies counter and didn't see the collection, and there was nobody there to ask about it! Womp womp.

I ordered from Nordstroms online this afternoon - got Superwatt, Electroplate, and a backup of Firesign lipstick. Free shipping and 5% cash back via Ebates...

I wish there were more swatches and info on these. I'm gonna swing my Nordies tomorrow to check them out. Would these be able to be used with regular eyeshadows? I'd hate to not be able to as that would limit things. Thanks!

I think Spanky used Fig 1 and some other regular eyeshadows for the look she posted a few days ago.

When it comes to informed makeup purchase decisions, NEVER feel "rude" about wanting to compare! That's what stores like Sephora and ULTA are built on... The idea that you can swatch and test different brands to find the best solution for you! It might seem a little awkward at the MAC counter, especially considering that MUA's and SA's can differ from counter to counter, but you should definitely do whatever makes YOU feel like you're getting what you want. It's better for you to know exactly what you want and what you already have and make a smart purchase, than to impulse buy products you find out later you do not want/need and just end up returning them.

If you are made to feel at all uncomfortable while comparing your shadows, I would make a note to tell this to the staff:
"If you don't have a problem with me returning 1/2 these products in a week after I decide I don't need them because I have something that's similar in this UD Palette... I'll just put it away right now. Do you mind giving me your name so I can pass it onto your manager if they don't appreciate going through the "return and trash products" procedure with me next week? Thanks so much!" *insert a HUGE smile here!
