I think so - I assume July 11th as in the UK, on the same day as FF... but I don't know for sure. I still don't know whether to skip both collections or not...
 
[/quote] Hard one. I love Bows & Curtseys and Alpha Girl is pretty nice as well. But if I would have to buy it now, I would probably skip as it is a Spring collection and I am not feeling it much any more. SP is a nice collection, question is just how much you use the MES as compared to normal eyeshadows? What are you interested in?

I eye Alpha Girl and Bows & Curtseys too, but! I feel AG is not terribly unique, is it? Could it be duped?

I nearly never use MAC MES. I've a few - from ITG which I like, and from the collex before (don't remember the name) which I all gave away. I like MBs when they are satiny, and I nearly never use my one and only MSF, because it accentuates my pores.

I'd love to try the Creemsheen glasses and am not sure about the brushes at all - they seem so gimmicky?

Today, thanks to an italian blog, I've known the italian prices and they are better than I thought! Indeed now I should take one more item with the money I have... but I still have to wait swatches to decide!

Oh no. Is it a glittery MSF? I hope you will try one from the upcoming collection.

[/quote] Cremesheen Glasses are nice, not sticky and feel great. But they are really sheer, so I guess it depends how pigmented your lips are ;) Plus if I remember correctly some of the Cremesheen colours are permanent. :hmm: And if you are not using the MES, you answered already, same for the MSF (I find them overrated as well). The brushes could be nice, but it's hard to say if they actually are better or different than the "normal" brushes. Would depend a lot on the use I'd guess. Oh, the goal was to disable, right? :winkiss:

Good to know that the Cremesheens are sheer, my lips are quite pigmented. Well. Money saved! I know it's not the right thread, but anyways - what about Alphagirl and B&C? Should I get them instead?

Oh gads, just when I thought it was safe to go back into the MAC store. I think I'll have to make a personal trip (instead of ordering online) and have my SA do a makeover on me using these products before I can decide. I really need nothing, but so many items are calling my name! I'm liking the Warmth of Coral, Gem of Roses and three or four of the eye shadows and of course the brushes! I think it will help to have a makeover using what I think will work to be sure, so tired of thinking something is great to find out - ummmm - no......

I definitely want at least a few eyeshadows. I use my MES a lot and love them, so I think it's OK for me to buy a couple! I also want the coral blush (I think) and a Cremesheen glass or two.

I do think I'll be skipping the MSFs in this collection, I'm not a fan of that design.

I dont have armani's list red. I saw it on temptalia and loved it but... where to buy and how much? :( damn! I do have night flight, night porter, and the reddish one from that collection. but they seem TOO black based. So i might get ruby one from SM. cos night flight and nigh porter+deep truth and humid respectively=SM MES.

@Piarpreet- Yes, I have Lust Red, so I'm skipping Smoked Ruby. The Armani shadows are more expensive but (if memory serves) you get more as well. In my case, I also find that their less prone to irritating the corner of my eyes than either mineral or cream shadows, which is a big plus for me. They're all available on armani.com and from what I've seen of the colours, Temptalia's swatches of all the shades are very accurate.

It's weird because, as pretty as the shadows are (and I'm sure I'll end up grabbing a couple), I still find myself gravitating towards the lip products. Even stranger: The same thing happened with the eye products mineralize collection last year. I got a couple of the lipsticks and the face products, but totally passed on the shadows. Go figure.

I thought mineralized products were supposed to be good for your skin.... hmm....

I wanna know... lust red looks too black like the nars (like night fever) or more red? cos i really want loads of red glitter and red undertones. Night fever when u apply a huuuge amount u get a lil but normal amounts its just black :(
Ive been dieying got a really good dark red eye shadow for ages now! and smoky ruby looks so good! :p


BTW which one u might get?
