Trying to finalize my MES list. I think I only want Ice, and Silver Birch is a maybe at this point. I really like Winter Pursuit, but I know I wouldn't wear a color like that much, so I'm being reasonable and will skip it.

Just received a Mac ecard for $100 from one of my docs. I prefer in store orders vs online ordering. What to do???

That is awesome that you got a $100 eGift Card! You can use it to order what items that you want online and then go to your MAC store to get the rest of what you want.

Is there a store I can call and preorder this collection? Every store I've called say they aren't taking pre orders, but I keep seeing everyone preordering here :(

I'm figuring as much, but with MAC and all their curve balls, I'm trying not to assume too much either. Checking every hour or so, but still planning on skipping the overnight stalking and getting some much needed sleep. Hoping if it does release tomorrow night that I won't miss it since I won't get home until around midnight!

Thks GlamQueen21. I am thinking to save it for the love triangle collection, Archies. I kinda made Mac money plans already for this one. He know I love and wanted Mac for Xmas but Macys or Nordies GC is so much easier for me. I don't have stalking skills like u beauties.........its like playing the lotto, lol

Dunno y I told my moms about my Mac ecard cause she started to tell me that her Studio Fix powder is running low. I don't think I am disciplined enough to hold on to it until Feb so may buy perm stuff. I gave it to my mom to keep for me but I want it back now ,lol

Ice looks exactly like Light Touch pressed pigment, just without the glitter, so if you have that one already, you may not really need Ice.

Frost at Midnight would look beautiful on you for sure - maybe the best color for you out of all of them.

As for Silver Birch, did you look good in Dalliance mega-metal? Silver Birch is like Dalliance, but with a darker underbase that the Dalliance-like color sort of sits on top of. I didn't look that great in Dalliance (too yellowish), but Silver Birch looks fantastic, so that'd be a good guide as to whether it'd be a good color for you, I hope.

I don't have Light Touch, so I'm definitely getting Ice. I guess I can wear it as a cheek highlighter too.

I will look at Frost at Midnight, thanks for suggesting it. I'm waiting for more swatches to make my final decision.
I do have Dalliance, but I'm one of the very few people who didn't like the MM formula, so I never really wore it. I think I'll play with it again to see how I like it on me.
Is SB similar to Cloudy Afternoon in any way? (which is my favourite e/s ever)

Ice would be pretty sparkly for a face highlighter, FYI - it's the most sparkly of the MES in this collection - just micro-sparkle, not chunky or glittery.

I didn't like the light colored MMs much - they highlighted my eye texture too much. The darker ones I love though. Noir Plum is so great, I haven't really bought any other purple shadows since.

i didn't buy Cloudy Afternoon - it was a little too powdery and gave my darker eye skin a sallow cast, like most pale khaki colors do. That's why I couldn't wear Dalliance either. Meanwhile, SB is in the same family, but doesn't cause me to look sallow, and it's SO SO SO smooth and wet metallic when applied with a damp brush - like a mirror finish practically. If you wish Cloudy Afternoon could have a finish like that, or if you wished it had just a little less beige color in it, you are going to loose your mind over SB. Do I sound over-excited? Because, I am!!!!

That sounds great! You're definitely making me more excited for it as well.

I didn't know Ice was the most sparkly one, so thanks for mentioning it! No cheek highlighter then, but I still want it.
