Oh, def. more than a few! lol

I'd still like to see personal live photos of the compact, the promo pic looks more real. Product photos always look possibly made-up to me But then there's also some sort of light in the promo pic. So really, who knows!

[Camnagem]

I really love the compact. In old pictures, in new ones...it doesn't really matter, I just love it.

I can't wait to see this stuff in person!

I think it is the packaging The powder itself is just a powder to set your foundation. IMO.

[TeresitaMC]

Why do the descriptions of the lipglosses sound mixed up to me when looking at the pictures? Lol. This collection is now on the top of my radar since it is the next in line. I hope we get more swatches soon
This is coming out on a wednesday? (Maybe 'cause of US Thanksgiving?) If so...it's coming out in only 19 days!! Oh my goodness

[princessjodie]

i like the packaging of this collection so pretty and frosty and really wintery gorgeousness (is that a word? lol) but the actual products themselves does NOT make me wanna buy them the products themselves does not really do much for me ... and i do not have a harvey nichols close to me i dont think and its only available online or in a harvey nics .. is that right? im sure i seen that somewhere online or someone told me .. so i cant really see the collection in person to do swatches and see if something really does grab my lil peepers please correct me if im wrong ... (i hope i am wrong cause ide like to see this collection curiously hehe)

[jungleland]

I really like the packaging of this collection... but I don't know if I'll buy something.
But I really want a nice compact case!!!
Have to see it in real life, I guess!

It actually kinda looks yellow-pink to me. I think you could pull it off.

It's described as a light blue pink and that's how it looks on my monitor from erine's swatch, but not so *terribly* cool that those with yellow undertones couldn't wear it. I'm planning to get it so far. I guess we'll see soon enough how it looks irl!

[TeresitaMC]

I am hoping to get *only one* of each lipstick and lipgloss, while still yet undecided on the compact.

The two I want are:
Based on Erin's swatches: Prive l/s & The Lap of Luxury l/g
Based on product photos: Prive l/s & Preciousness l/g
Maybe: Treasured l/s

[LMD84]

i think preciousness gloss looks amazing! i'm looking forward to getting that one!

Yes, it's comes out on a Wednesday because shipping will be delayed on Thanksgiving and will ship it on the next business day.

[TeresitaMC]

Only 10 more days everyone! What I can't wait for though is to make up my mind on what I want! As you can see above^^^, I'm a lil' confused

[Cerydwen]

Does anyone know the Uk release date and whether it'll be available ijn Harrods?

[Hypathya]

I don't think I'll get the compact either. I just love my Chanel Mat Lumiere Compact Poudre ad it's $10 cheaper!! I'll stick to 2 l/g and 1 l/s. Probably, Prive, Lap of Luxury and D'Noveau.

[coachkitten]

I am for sure going to skip the powder as the mystery powder is not my favorite but the lipsticks/lipglasses are going to be a different story! Those look drool worthy!

Yes, but I have decided to pass the lippies here as well. I need to save some money for spring 2010

[LMD84]

one lippie and one gloss for me! i love the packaging of this collection! but hubby is getting me these as Christmas pressies so won't get them when they are released!

[Miss QQ]

This collection is a pass for me because of the pricing. But I would go to the counter and admire the packaging and play with the testers anyway.

[Camnagem]

I'd really love to see some on hand/lips swatches!! Anyone?

My hubby's buying me a few items from this collection for my birthday. He said we'll be stopping by the MAC store on our way to dinner and I could pick out whatever I wanted and I'd be opening the rest of my gifts at dinner! To which I replied "there are more gifts?!?" and he just smiled.

I love that man.

I'm really excited about getting the compact, Prive l/s and D'Nouveau l/g for sure. If the other 2 l/g look unique enough, I may have to get them too...they're so pretty!

Well how great does that sound?! Hope you have a fantastic birthday!

I've pretty much lost interest in this and all of the other upcoming collections we have details on. Maybe I'll get excited over that big Spring collection, but for now other brands have stolen my attention.

[malaliath]

I'm very intrigued by the Baroque Boudoir lipstick ... but I think I will wait to see these in person (or at least more swatches here!) to make up my mind. Price is definitely a determining factor...

Aww this is so cute his idea, and your answer
I'm excited for you!




I'm gonna pass it, since it's only going to be available online in Germany. Whats kind of good, because like that it's almost too easy to skip!
