Now that I see that sorcery is so close to steamy I wonder if I really need it?
It does look super pretty though! Thanks for the great swatches Erin!

IRL they honestly look nothing alike. steamy definately has that noticable blue/green duochrome, where BS is a truely mixed teal. i'll try to get a larger swatch of each tmrw, but they aren't that close. you can definately tell the difference between the two.
there's no way i could wear steamy and tell a customer that i was wearing BS and have them fall for it.

Yeah thanks, Erine
I may get Blue Sorcery then if Steamy is not that close to it! But that's the only one I should get. Theses MES werent even on my list lol. When I saw Under Your Spell it looked exactly like Style Snob to me, then I saw your comment lol. So that I can skip, phew!
I was *surprised* by Surprise Me, it was on my want list but now it looks too peachy. I've switched to wanting Total Wow! now instead
Thank you for the swatches!
You're awesome!!

the colour collection is all normal packaging. the only thing that has special packaging is the holiday lip/eye/face palettes.
the holiday lip and eye bags also have regular packaging.

Has anyone seen a picture/video/swatch/etc of the Fun In the Sun Mineralize Kit yet? I have only seen Pinkzapoppin! and I can't decide which, if any, I want. Since this will be at MAC stores only, I'll have to do some travelling
but would rather not if I'm not getting these. Since it won't be available online or the MAC counter at The Bay

Erine, may I ask if you swatched the MES wet or dry?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Thanks Erin! I love Steamy, I will skip this MES! Even if they are not identical.

I saw a preview of this holiday collection today at Nordies...Overall it was nice, but thankfully, I don't think I will be plunking down a ton of money on this collection
The MES on display: One bright aqua with silver, one purple with gold (very thick gold-fallout/glitter-yuck), and I think there was one purple with silver. Nice but nothing I must have.
I really loved the Mineralized blushes: One was a mauvy color which I think will be too dark for me (N C20)
, and the other was a peachy one that was lovely but I think it's similar to blushes I already have.
They also had 2 or 3 blush/bronzer trio's that I didn't look too closely at...not really into that.
Eyeshadow palettes: Nothing really original...the one that caught my eye the most was the warm palette (Devil May Dare). I really just want the gold in that palette lol...
Lipsticks: Too sheer IMO...at least for me. The dream l/s was pretty but barely showed up on me and was frosty
Total wow was nice, but *meh*
They didn't have the pigment sets on display in the preview room
, and I didn't see any MSF's in there either

I can't sleep so I've decided that I need more lipstick swatches! Erin's were great (as always) but I'd love to see any of the 3 on lips, if anyone has picked them up!
I was really interested in Surprise Me, but now it looks too orange...need more info I think. The other 2 are so pretty, but looking a bit passable perhaps? For those who have seen these in person, what are your thoughts?

What do you think of the plum one for nc15 erine? Would it be too dark used with a light hand? I find that bright dark shades can look good but I'm not sure about deep/more muted dark shades, if you know what I mean...not sure how else to explain! I would like a plum MB but I'm not sure if this is the one.

I wonder if Conjure Up would be too dark for me (NW15), because that was the only thing I wanted.
