Ooooh nice one! Cheers for the info!

I'm just excited at the fact that new Dazzleglass Cremes are on their way, but was disappointed to not see "Amorous" DGC in the collection. I just feel like it's the ultimate holiday color.

I unfortunately did not get any nitty gritty details (like names etc), because I was in such a rush, but I was trying to take in the photos provided as much as possible. The eyeshadows do seem to be just the single regular eyeshadows, not MES, for a change.

They didn't seem to have info on the quint-pigments & quint-lipglass mini sets in their book. I also did not see many new things we haven't already seen as far as the lip bags, brush bags & palettes go. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can refer to Temptalia's blog HERE.)

However, I did see that the pigment/ fluidline/ zoomlash bag set consisting of that teal looking pigment, & Blitz & Glitz fluidline has an alternative set to choose from. The other piggy/ fluidline/ zoomlash bag set consists of a purple pigment & a deep purple fluidline. (Again, sorry that I don't have names!) From what I can try to remember, the pigment was a pretty deep purple, but not like a black-ish purple or anything; definitely didn't look like a lavender or lighter violet, to me. (Just a side note, I'm SO planning to get this one, haha!

)

I'd also like to add that the official launch date for the Tartan Tale collection will be a little later this year: October 28, 2010.

***I sincerely apologize in advanced if any of this information may be incorrect. I'm seriously trying to draw from memory 'cause I didn't have much time to look over it. But this is from what I can recall! Otherwise, at least we only have 2 more days til we can get some official info on this site! Thank you, loves!

+1

I tried them at my local counter, yeah, no lol. I'm kinda close with the people who work there and one of the guys saw me swatching them on my hand, and he was was like

"Oh no, why not try the regular dazzlegalsses instead?"

I got my first Dazzleglass that day

yay for him

I haven't tried DGC yet simply because I'm quite happy with MAC regular lipglasses.

Plus, Cremesheen Glass doesn't last on my lips at all. That's half part of DGC, right?

So, I don't feel the need to try them.

I only have two full size MAC brushes, 217 and 226. Love them both

Thanks for the advice

. I'll just wait until the collection came out and test it first, and then decide

The people at MUA are recommending this brush for concealers. Silly me is still trying this brush for eyeshadow hoping one day this brush will be soft after cleaning and conditioning. Still not luck yet. I'm just having fun.

One reason why I wanted to get the 252 is because on the last time I did my makeover, the MUA used 252 on me and she said it's working great for my eyelids. But maybe the 252SE is not a good choice after all.

Is the VG lipset in a palette or in normal form? Fingers crossed that they are not in palette...

Thank you for showing the bigger picture! It looks really gorgeous and it's such a wonderful color! What's the name of the e/s? [EDIT: Just had a look at you blog and there is was! The answer!

And btw I thought MY wishlist was long but yours is so much longer!

]
I dunno, I have pretty pale but yellowish skin. Somehow I only like neutrals, brown, pink, mauve, purple e/s on me. I used to have a palette which also contained blue and green e/s but they were of such poor quality that not even the pinks or neutrals looked good an the eye...
I really like the look of the Aire de blu pigment but I didn't buy a sample because I always thought it wouldn't look good on me.

That's so bad! Now I want even more of the collection!

The teddy bear sound so cute! Definitly getting the Viva Glam lipset tho! I wanted the VG V for quite a while and a set of the l/s + l/g inside a tartan bag is even so much better!

 

[Cerydwen]

I'm not wild about the dazzleglass cremes either. I have two - Amorous (great colour) and My Favourite Pink (a bit too milky for my tastes), but I find the smell off-putting. Also, they tend to 'wander' across my lipline, so on the rare occasions that I do use them, it's usually just a timy bit as a highlighter in the centre of my lips over lipstick.

 

[Pinkdollface]

Thanks for the info Stylistic_x3!

i'm excited, no i'm not, i'm super excited

 

[Camnagem]

I'm kinda freaking out about the teddy bear!

Must. Have. It.

Am I 6 again?!? OMG, it's a pretty sad state.
