Actually I think they said the nude one is "Pure Zen"... which is one of the Cremesheen+Pearl lipsticks (i just bought it)

Go or call now just to be sure you're on the list.

Good to know. Thank you!!!

I hope Love Goddes is something like Perpetual Flame... not the same color but maybe pinker *___*

I can't wait for all the bloggers to start receiving their samples so we can see how these products look on skin!

Idk what I've been thinking calling one of the lipsticks "Love Connection" when it's actually called "Love Goddess" man, what a perpetual brain fart! LOL I felt so silly once I realized! 

The stock images make it look soooo pretty, but I'm still going to limit myself to a few items. One lipstick and the beauty powder so far. 

I think this collection may be a skip for me. The colors seem dupeable and the packaging is disappointing. It reminds me of the Fafi stickers.

Welcome! I am in your area. PM me and I can get you hooked up.

I'm wondering if someone can fill me in on how to sign up to attend an event for this launch. I'm located in Seattle, so there are 2 MAC stores close to me. I looked on the website to see if there were any upcoming events at either store and no results popped up. I really want to attend as I'm pretty sure that I am going to need every single one of those lippies! Thanks for the help and I apologize if I'm posting this in wrong place!

Is the red lippies in this collection matte?

Yes they are.

It's a gorgeous matte and I can't wait to pick it up in special packaging. While I am not a fan of this particular packaging, it makes it so much easier to find the lippie in my stash. :-)

Thanks for the pics of Pure Zen.  Its beautiful on you, but now that I've seen it, its off my list.  Not right for me at all.  Oh well, there's still plenty on my wishlist.

I'm in Florida right now so I can't check myself but do any UK girls have any idea if we're having any events instore OR if we can pre-order/reserve?

I'd stock up on perm stuff since it seems that MAC is the cheapest in the US. That's cool that you got to vacation in the US. I'd look to see the UK one day. So much more history.

In my experience, that true.  When I went to Rome recently, pigments were 23 euro (about $28) at their Pro store.  It was easy not to buy any makeup there because I knew I could get it for less back home.  I did fork over the euros for their 259 brush because I knew I probably wouldn't come across it again and I had to have it.  Picked up a couple 184s as well, as I couldn't remember whether I could get my hands on them back in the US, and I didn't want to take any chances.

Haha, I completely forgot about that show. I was thinking Connection as in Rainbow Connection 

The pricing may be wrong because they listed the lipsticks as 14.50 and if I'm not mistaken they just went up on price. Also on top of that MAC tends to add a dollar for special packaging. If that's the case the lippies should be 16.00 each.

Here is another link with pictures of the collection. The shadow price is at 15.00 so I'm assuming no special size.

Those vampy lipstick shades look so delicious in the promo pics. Noooooooo. I don't want to buy all three lol. My poor wallet! I might pick up How to Marry e/s if it's not $20 or over! I forgot about the blushes...hmm. not sure if I neeeed them, and especially since I'm not head over heels for the packaging, it's a good opportunity to stay as frugal as I can with MAC lol

The lady at my MAC counter told me that the eyeshadows are the large ones.  I think that it's a good idea. If one of those eyeshadows become your HG shade... you're  less likely to run out since it is much larger.  However, for some.. It doesn't seem too fair.

Gonna make a preliminary list for fun:

Love Goddess l/s

Charmed, I'm Sure l/s

Deeply Adored l/s

Legendary blush

The Perfect Cheek blush

Forever Marilyn b/p

I'd get Scarlet Ibis, but I already snatched one up back when Iris Aphel launched.

I dislike the larger shadow trick.
