I've never tried a beauty powder but a sheer peach flush is hard to go wrong with on lightish warm toned skin.

I think it will trend bananas like Tahitian Sand.  I will likely purchase 2 without even seeing a single swatch or IRL.

I'm planning on getting one. I should just get it pulled for me and avoid the frenzy that will just annoy me.

I agree about the Generation Q collection by Illamasqua. I really want to get my hands on the Empower e/s quad. This I think is the most wearable collection they've brought out to date. Even the unwearable ones I make work on me though! This pigmentation of their products is to die for! Plus, I just think that are an amazing company that does amazing things. I've never even been to Australia but I made sure to vote to get a fair beauty price there as it is ridiculous what some countries do to jack up the prices! I really like their S.O.P.H.I.E products as well and the proceeds go to such a great cause.

I just googled that Illamasqua quad and

I just looked into this. Wow! I have never tried Illamasqua before. I'm going to now. Thank you for mentioning this to us.

that Quad is soooo pretty! I havent tried any Illamasqua before either but im tempted now.

I can't wait for this new collection to come out :) I think I will be buying a few things from it, maybe even both quads

I'm actually placing one order tonight and then there will be another one when this collection comes out.

Here is a preview of the collection on Illamasqua official website: http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/collections/generation-q/

Then I will be broke until MAC Marylin collection lol I will be definitely getting 2 things from it: love goddess lipstick and a beauty powder (love their beauty powders)

I just looked this up and I see there's a pretty purple lippie in that collection.  Is it a repromote? Because I see it's already on Sephora's site but it's out of stock.

Cool! I have an old MAC Underworld lipstick. Of course it's not purple though. This is a really nice Illamasqua collection. I wish my Sephora carried Illamasqua so I can see the collection in person.

Repeating to self: Don't click on the Illamasqua link. Don't click on the Illamasqua link. Don't click on the Illamasqua link.

I just posted some swatch links teehee

On Topic: When do you think we'll see swatches? I really want to see the lipsticks and shadows

I'm stalking the Sephora site. I want this lippie, but it's sold out for now. Darn it!

My free standing MAC store isn't having an unveiling party for Marilyn, but they are holding an event on the normal launch day of the collection. They don't do holds or pre-orders, so I'm still going to order my stuff online. Better safe than sorry. I'm sure the website will have a fast shipping code at that time and I WILL upgrade to overnight for this collection. If there are any problems with my order, I want to catch it quickly.

I've got my stuff on hold too.  Better safe than sorry.

Well, after reading through all 42 pages of this thread (hah!) I'm still pretty excited for the collection.

My must-haves include (but are not limited to):

Lipstick
Deeply Adored - Deep scarlet (Matte)

Charmed I'm Sure - Dark true red (Matte)

Love Goddess - Mid-tone pink red (Satin)

Eyeshadow

How to Marry - Soft White (Veluxe Pearl)

Preferred Blonde - Pale champagne beige (Veluxe Pearl)

Silver Screen - True silver (Veluxe Pearl)

Showgirl - Dark blue grey (Veluxe Pearl)

Beauty Powder

Forever Marilyn - Sheer pale peach highlighter

Powder Blush

Legendary - Pale soft coral (Satin)

The Perfect Cheek - Neutral pink beige (Matte)

Sh*t.

guess it's time to love up on my nordies/macys counters and see if I can put things on hold/preorder. Sh*t sh*t sh*t!

So after browsing this thread a little, is it definitely true the eye shadows will be bigger in size?

If that's the case, I won't be buying them.  I never buy the larger eye shadows, I just can't really justify it mentally and can't afford it.  I'd originally planned on buying all of them but if that's the case I'll stick to both blushes and maybe Love Goddess l/s and that's it.  Shame.

I actually seen this color before, tried it on but never bought it then I regretted it because I haven't seen it available anywhere since then?

I have had Underworld for quite awhile, but I think I have worn it only once, the day I bought it and went to see Cabaret in Berlin!
