Yes!! Those ED Bronzers are phenomenal! I'm pretty over the glittery face look at the moment. I ended up letting go of some older stuff in favor of newer, more finely milled formulas and good riddance to them. Even the newer lipglasses (Obviously Bare, Wanting More) aren't sticky like the old ones! I remember my Archie's ones being so sticky and uncomfortable to wear but these are completely different.

Bring on the newer, better pretties!
The new glosses this year, like Bijou, Peachstock, OB, WM, and the two new ones from Artificially Wild are just amazing - so smooth and don't settle into the lip lines. The Mineralize glosses are really great too, and sort of put my cremesheen glasses to shame (although not quite - but almost). I'm all for out with the old and in with the new. I'm going through my stash right now, as a matter of fact, to have some B2M for tomorrow when I pick up my AW goodies.

Nice! I B2M'd for 3 items when I went in for AW.. lots of stuff that wasn't finished, but eventually it's just time to let it go. Some of it I hadn't used in months and I was trying to force it while things I absolutely love just sat there. That doesn't work for me. One of my goals for this year was to have a more seasonal attitude towards my makeup and I've been doing pretty good the past few months. I've been buying a few of things to refresh the look every season just like I do with my closet already. It's working way better than buying random bits and pieces from collections as they come out!

I'm just going to say those are most likely Extra Dimensions. Mineralize can't be baked into those sorts of raised textures, but EDSFs certainly can. I bet this is the day after xmas collection, to correspond with Magnetic Nude, Apres Chic, etc. It's the cute knit theme from Apres Chic combined with the extra dimensions of Magnetic Nude. I would throw my Lightscapade from a rooftop for an EDSF version in a heartbeat!
These are Mineralize. They're domed. EDs aren't domed. Oh, and the shadow is a split colour if it wasn't mentioned earlier.

I'm not hanging on to old formulas that don't perform as well as the newer ones. It's better that way, especially if space is limited. Seasonal makeup refreshes are always a great bet too, imo! Glad it's working out for you.

The packaging definitely looks like MSF packaging. If they're able to manufacture MSFs with embossing now, the formula is bound to be very different from years' past. I like the idea of a hybrid Mineralize/EDSF, although it seems like it wouldn't be ideal to make the textures of MSFs and EDSFs too similar down the road. It'll be interesting to see what's up.

I'm not a fan of embossing. It doesn't "work" right. EDSFs leave a film, blushes and shadows tend to be hard, and MSFs i can see kicking up a lot of extra powder. I just wish everything was smooooooth.

That's exactly my concern with these.

I've always had good luck with my EDSFs, but I can't imagine the usual MSF formula being capable of such a tight, all over raised pattern. I think it'll wind up being very much like ED and at least for a while the only difference between MSF and EDSF will be the name on the package, if all this is so.

It really does look like Lightscapade.
Although it seems like the the ones in the new packaging have a lot more blue veining than the older versions. I've seen some amazing ones whereas all of mine are completely beige. Makes me want to order a new one... if the packaging wasn't so ugly and they didn't raise the price even more :-/

Oh, and looks like there are new f/l. Can't read all of the names, but I think one of them says Midnight Snack. Isn't that a repromote from Shop/Cook?
