I think the allergic ingredient is 'bismoth', isn't it?. Because MAC's mineralized stuff breaks me out too!. I thought that was only a problem with the skin finishes/powders though..

I really, really hope the mineralized eyeshadows are a different story.

I saw the whole collection today - wow!!!

If you see the MES in person - you will NOT be able to resist them they are so gorgeous! I will probably get all 4 now. My absolute faves were the black & silver & the blue...love love love. The burgundy/purple is fabulous!

They are very finely milled - yes lots of sparkle - but lovely gentle elegant sparkle not chunky monkey sparkle. I would even wear these in the day. The texture felt wonderful & smooth. EDIT: I forgot to add - I did NOT have glittery fallout

Night violet is so darn gorgeous - just get it.

If you don't like it so dark then just pat it on with your finger lightly. It will be the color for Fall.

And holy cow - get the grease stick!!! That puppy is so darn awesome - & it does NOT budge! I could hardly get it off with the MAC wipe.

The glosses are dark - but the one with the pink sparkle worn over a lippie may be nice.

I will also get the CCB Bat Black. I loved the burgundy like base to it.

She gave me a sample of the mask so I will test it tonight.

You guys will love the MES!

To anyone looking to save a couple of bucks... It looks like if you own deep truth, carbon, and a fine blue glitter, you can make something that resembles the Blue Flame MES in the swatches. I have yet to view Blue Flame in person, so it might be off, but if you just can't wait, try that with some sort of adhesive so that the glitter doesn't fall everywhere. I think that Cinderfella might be the same Carbon (or mineral black) plus a black reflects glitter (not just regular black glitter, it doesn't work) and possibly a silver or white reflects mixed in.

No, they don't look the same on. It is probably just hard to capture on camera.

I am a NW15 & they were very distinctly noticeably different on me.

I rub/chew on my lips too often for any kind of lipstick to stay put, but I'm sure it won't hurt me to try it on! hehe
And thanks! I actually went to the event purposely to record for you gals LOL

I picked up some of the stuff there and went to bloomingdales since it was getting crowded... There one of the MAs put the black lipstick on me. Did you try it on your lips? If not I suggest you do so when you get a chance! Your video captured the whole event by the way. Very nice

i guess you missed my swatches, because they look completely different from each other, dry and wet. there's no mistaking one for another.

I want all 4 MES! I want 2 of each, but for the sake of saving money, I'm going to only get 2 of the silver one and 2 of Young Punk. But I really can't decide!!!! And the greasepaint stick. That's all I want.

Guhh, I admire your restraint. Not to dignify her rudeness with a thoughtful response, but she's also wayy misinformed, considering that high-end designers keep returning to the goth well for inspiration season after season (from D&G to Marc Jacobs to Chanel to McQueen etc. etc.), not to mention makeup brands often releasing dramatic, goth-y collections for f/w. But more importantly, it's a matter of personal taste and not for her to comment. I happen to hate frosty pink lipstick, but I can't ever imagine feeling so entitled as to tell everyone I see wearing frosty pink that they should try some red. Ugh, I derailed into rant-ville, please excuse me.

Style Black, yay!
