Ooooh! haven't checked this thread for a while but I believe I need: Hot Chocolate lipstick, Mountain Air and Night Trail eyeliners!!!!!
Other than that...nothing. Mineralize crap breaks me out!

I wish I had gotten a BU of Handforged, I use it almost everyday so I'm quickly running out.I got several BU's of both.

I cannot rule out any of the MES. They all sound gorgeous

I had Handforged before, so I knew for sure that I need quite a few BU's.

Okay, I am trying to come up with a preliminary list but no swatches yet is making it hard to cross stuff off the list, so I am sure this will be narrowed down some (I hope so at least):
Lipstick
Après Chic – Pinky brick red (Cremesheen) I would love it if this looked like Red Dwarf, but with this type of description honestly it could be anything from dark maroon to hot pink...
Hot Chocolate – Mid-tone plum (Satin) This will probably be a nice MLBB shade like OffShoot
Cozy Up – Deep caramel (Matte) It this isn't too yellow/blorange, its on
Mineralize Tinted Lip Balm (I want all of these, but I guess I will get one or two to test first, if these are moisturizing as tender tones, I could stock up on all of them, even the boring ones)
Pure & Tender – Plumy creamy nude-- sounds ubiquitously pretty but imminently dupeable, skip if it settles into lip lines though...
Slightly Nude – Nudey coral with subtle pink pearlized pigments--probably a skip unless I love the tester I get and get them all, I have tons of peachy lip stuff and don't need more.
Nice & Simple – Bronzy gold with multi-dimensional pearlized pigments-- this sounds the most unique, I will probably get it
Rosy Romance – Bluish plum with subtle pink pearlized pigments sounds like a good MBLL color, I may get this and the above one to test them...
Stay Warm! – Creamy light pink--sounds the least interesting and most dupeable. Skip unless they are so awesome I get them all.
Mineralize Eye Shadow
Ice – Light peach base with white veining this is a maybe, sounds like a good browlighter though
Silver Birch – Grey base with peach veining the most interesting one by description
Fireside – Deep plum with grey veining is probably what I wanted Winterized to be and a team purple must-have
Frost at Midnight – Deep blue-grey base with purple veining this ones sounds like a dupe of Winterized and likely a skip unless swatches are convincing otherwise
Winter Pursuit – Copper base with grey veining sounds taupe-alicious!
Pro Longwear Eye Liner (all of these sound interesting, wonder how long wearing they are)
Black Ice – Rich black * I would get this one because I love the name, and who can't use black
Rich Experience – True brown * I love brown, so its a win
Mountain Air – Vibrant teal * Probably a skip as Undercurrent has my teal needs covered
Night Trail – Deep navy blue * Sounds cool, but I use Fly By Blu for navy as I love the pearl in it, so this is probably a skip
Snow Shadow – Purple violet * Its probably dupeable, but its purple, so if this formula is great, it will be assimilated too
Mineralize Skinfinish (these are both a skip, as I have tried both, have PP and don't need a BU, SR looks hideous on me)
Mineralize Blush
Gentle – Raspberry with gold pearlized pigments ° Will be hard to skip, wonder how close it will be to the magenta MES from Heavenly Critters?
Alpine Bronze – Mid-tone caramel Is actually the item from the collection I am most interested to see the swatches. I am hoping it is a more shimmery version of Worldly Wealth and can be used as bronzer or a blush. Hope it isn't too orange, then the love is gone.

From what my MA told me, it's not shimmery - it's along the lines of the MBs from Semi-Precious.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Pure & Tender – Plumy creamy nude (yes. Plumy nude!)[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Slightly Nude – Nudey coral with subtle pink pearlized pigments (nudey coral!!!! sounds awesome)[/FONT]

Mineralize Eye Shadow

This is fantastic for us folks in the US in terms of swatches. I look forward to seeing swatches from down under before it hits North America at the end of December.
