I was at the unveiling the other night - sorry I haven't had time to chit chat about it.... The f/ls are MUCH more glittery than the paint pots from Champale, which were more glittery than the Glitter & Ice p/ps like Let's Skate, which were mostly shimmer. The glitter in the f/ls is chunky and bold. It doesn't look tacky or weird, though - actually it looks pretty darn awesome - very textured, but not glitter bomb slutty....very runway looking. I bought them all and have tried them alone and as a base under the EDES and on top of the EDES too! They're awesomesauce! Besides the f/ls, I bought all the colored kohl powers, with 2 Ravens and 1 each of Mystery and Orpheus. If you love eye pencils, especially ones that have sheen but also work in the water lines, don't pass these up - I wish they were perm. I won't be surprised if I go back and get more BUs. I held back on most of the EDES, mostly because I was annoyed they're so much smaller. I did get the pale lilac one which is just the most gorgeous opalescent lilac pink. The taupe is really pretty, but definitely dupable. The black is actually a cool charcoal grey - I was tempted, but held back since I'd rather get the dark silver Pressed Pigment - better value and I honestly prefer the PP texture to the EDES, which is saying A LOT, because EDES is excellent. I almost got the bright pink, but it is an almost exact match for the bright pink Electric Cool shadow, which is a texture I prefer over the EDES too, since it very miraculously smooths out my eye texture in ways the EDES don't come close to doing. One thing about these new EDES - they're much more like the Dark Dare "Glow" texture than the super sparkly texture of all the others from that collection. This is a very good thing! You can keep them much softer and more satiny, or you can wet them and get a much stronger sheen and sparkle. BTW, the peachy one is really really pretty and a great peach shade for skin with a bit warmer cast to it - I figured it'd look much better on me than a lot of peaches which are too frosty and cool, but I held off on trying it. I may go back for it eventually. There are going to be much better lippies and blushes coming up soon, so all of those were totally easy to skip.
