Thanks for the swatches. I'm happy the red lipsticks aren't similar at all 'cause I got all of them.

Ah thanks to all the swatches.. Love Goddess is now on my list too
 

Love the lippies. Tx Tats!!! I'm so busy at work today. I hope I don't miss this collection if it pops up later today. Let the stalking begin!

I'm tired of stalking too. Must. Stay. Strong.

love goddess looks mighty similar to girl about town

I am actually collection fatigued at this point.  I bought a lot of red lippies from every where Chanel, YSL, MAC, NARS waiting for these red lippies.  I have moved onto Guerlain and YSL again for holiday col which are due out in a few weeks.  Waiting for months on end with no swatches and then having to struggle to get something is so yesterday.  I will be buying of course but I have gone from team everything to maybe a es and 2 ls.  Seriously I was all over all the es all the ls the bp and my first ever MAC blush and now pffft

Just called my local MAC store and put Deeply Adored l/s and Preferred Blonde e/s on hold.  I was happy they were willing to do this since I don't get out of work until 5:00 this Thursday when they're releasing the collection, and I was afraid I'd miss out!  DA was the only "must have" from the time I first saw this collection, but swatches have convinced me I need the PB e/s too.  Oh, and I spoke with the manager at the store, who said she believes the Pro discount WILL apply to this collection...but she wasn't 100% sure.  So I'm still expecting there not to be a discount, but if there is, it will be a pleasant surprise!

I'm really not interested in playing this game; I never have been and that's why most of my collection is perm. I never bought from collections until this year and it's already gotten old. Thankfully my store will hold items for me. I don't mind the waiting for months bit; if we get early information then we'll wait to see swatches or pics. I just don't like the sense of urgency MAC tries to create with these launches.

This is makeup, not insulin. If I don't get a certain lippie, I won't die. It's not like there aren't hundreds in the marketplace to choose from. If I bought nothing but foundation, concealer,powder and mascara for the next two years I'd still have ample choice.

Some love the thrill of the hunt and that's great. I'm just not one of them.

I couldn't agree more...I used to be all over the collections, but now I just don't care. If I get something, I get it...and if I don't it wasn't meant to be. Back when I was younger and only knew MAC, I was pretty a fiend. LOL. But now that I have been exposed to other brands with better quality, I can take MAC or leave it. I like the hype of the collections especially being on specktra and talking about things with everyone, but at the end of the day, I hate how MAC only gives stores a few products and puts things up on the site at random times of night and day. Its quite irritating and in my opinion poor for business.

Love goddess looks similar to something...Not quite sure what...but it looks mighty dupeable....

Is anybody getting one of the Dazzleglasses or maybe even both of them? I'm contemplating to get at least one of them!

I'm so iffy about my MAC Counter.  I went there a few days ago.  Miss Ashley (MA)  told me that they only received 2 and 5 of certain items.  Then... I realized that the MA's will put things on hold for themselves before they open the doors.  I asked, she literally told me that the items that they only recieved two of will be soldout before the doors even open due to MA's holding items.  So if you ladies have a small counter like i do... I would be stalking MAC's website! lol

oof.

Yes, Phiff! I'm debating Little Rock! I'm only getting one (and maybe a BU of that one) as I don't want two dazzleglasses open at the same time.

Sadly, it is not that uncommon, even for larger stores. That's why I let put my stuff on hold months before most collections come out. The early bird catches the worm. I'm still ordering my BU's online though.

Who did you put items on hold with?  Nordstrom?  The only time my MAC counter let me put a hold or even preorder an item was during the holiday collection's presale.  That's about it. You're lucky :)   I did put some of the blushes from the Tres cheek  collection through Nordies.  They wouldn't let me put a hold on items for the Monroe collection, sadly. Believe me I asked.  lol... I think we all have at this point.

In the video Richelle posted the MUA (sorry, forgot his name, Gregory?) told the audience that Love Godess was created for Christina Hendricks, so I'm wondering if that was the lipcolour she wore yesterday for the Emmys?

It wasn't love goddess. Saw an article about her makeup and the lip color was Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Icon.

According to another article Kat Dennings used the same shade.

Freestanding MAC store. I buy all of my items there (and BU's online).

If I missed it I'm sorry but does anyone have a swatch comparison of Russian Red vs. C'IS? It would be very helpful. So far it looks like the lippies are pretty dupeable tho. Very pretty but dupeable.

This article talks about her entire look. 

 Just release the collection already!!!!
