Thanks! I was hoping someone would post a video so we could see the color payoff in real time.

I'm limiting myself to a maximum of 3 of these for now, currently thinking I might get Pure Flash, Infra-Violet, and Superwatt (if Superwatt isn't too close to Morning Frost—I'll have to take that along when I go swatch!) and hope others pop up in CCOs later.

I was able to check these out today and they are a complete pass for me. I tend to prefer more neutral colors and if you have either of the UD Naked palettes or any neutral MAC eyeshadows you can dupe the neutrals in this collection. There is a high frost/sparkle that I don't think comes across in the swatches (at least the ones I've seen). I was a little surprised to see how much sparkle was in ones I swatched.

The texture of these is nice but once it's applied to the eye, I don't think it looks any different that a powder eyeshadow. My recommendation is to check these out in person if you are interested.

I'm starting to get really excited about these, especially after seeing this vid

The sheen will look gorgeous on you. What colors are on your list?
Love power-rose Highly charged-purple Pure flash-champagne Infra violet-pink Fashion circuit- teal I might also get the taupe and copper shades depending on how they look irl and I will compare backlit to the Chanel black shadow to see which one I prefer Normally sept is a big haul month for me cause I like the big collections that generally come out then and we also get new prolong wear products but none of the stuff launching in style collection or prolong wear collections in september are grabbing me so I can splurge on the electric cool shadows What are you thinking of getting?

are these 17.50 or 19.50? Coil, superwatt & love power will probably get the most wear but I also like the purple, the blue and the teal one. Darn they look so goooood!

HTH. Let me know ur thoughts on the Fall EL line & tell me if I'm missing out on anything!
Thanks for the info Spanky! I think I will wait for the sale. I'll probably stop at Nordstrom on Friday. Just debating which one to go to. I think they will have a GWP for so if I get it, I want to make sure I get a GWP too. Plus, I don't think EL sells out as fast as Mac. I'm debating this palette and the Dior Smoky Amethyst palette. I like the looks of the Dior but I haven't read good reviews so we'll see. As for the bronze, in some pics it does look bronzey. Oh speaking of EL, there was a posting ages ago on Specktra with pics of the new Cyber eyeshadows in super bright colors. Swatches of these are starting to shop up online so I need to do a search and see if I can find that posting. But yes, we must start saving. Lots of great things are coming up.

I was kinda surprised to not find any indication on the box....I think they are a large percentage water!

Thank you for looking! I think once it's closer to the online launch, MAC chat might be able to shed light on it! The casual color pots didn't have the shelf life listed on the box or package, either. MAC chat said they were a 24-month shelf life, which makes sense given the lipstick quality they have. I hope these shadows don't turn to pumpkins too quickly....though with the water base, it's certainly questionable!

They are probably better off in a beauty fridge.
