I'm lucky I'll probably skip Strength and I have time to save since Archie's girl will launch here in March... but Apres Chic in january will be expensive as well

And for me as well  Probably will need a break between Après Chic and this collection tho  Yeah, like that will happen, lol

I think I should be able to skip the entire collection.

I love pearlmattes but I really dislike this packaging. I guess I'll keep working on my two from Vera.

I'm dying over the promo pics! I'm SO glad most of the collections between now and February aren't calling to me and I will get to pick up a few Betty & Veronica items!! Can't wait!

Betty's Blush and Pearlmatte ! TY Naynadine!
 

So far I'm interested in Ronnie Red and Girl Next Door lipsticks, both pearlmattes, Cream Soda blush (such a cute name ), and the pigments. I think this is going to be my biggest MAC haul; I can normally narrow my list down to a few stand out items, but I'm going to go all out with this one. 
 

I think it will be easier for me to list the stuff that I don't want

Time to lose some stuff from the Apres Chic wishlist...

Phew! So far doesn't look like a huge haul for me. Pearlmattes don't work that well on me, for whatever reason; the blushes are cute but I know I've got ones that are so close, it's not worth it. Ronnie Red might be a possibility if this photo is any indication. Purple quad is the same. The lavender pink pigment is a definite yes, though!!

Uh cream soda blush!? Sign me up!

Are these quad shapes the same price as usual LE quads that are in square instead of rectangular packaging?  I know they'll be more expensive for special packaging but other than that do they cost more?  I've never bought quads in the long packaging before.

I believe that the Wonder Woman quads were $40. Wouldn't surprise me if they were even more now.

But what are those little jars? Pigments? (i think so, from other shots) Or Nail Lacquers?

TY  Those definitely look like pigments to me :)

So far all i want is

Spoiled Rich eyeshadow palette - purple, purple, violet and purple!

I might want a Pearlmatte Face Powder, depending on the colors. And if that's a deep violet pigment, that's going on my list, too, as long as it does NOT have a black base. But if it's nail polish, i'm skipping.

There's some inaccuracy with the description above of the Pearlglides. Black Swan is NOT black with gold pearl. Black Swan is just black with pearl (sort of black pearl). Black Line is black with gold pearl. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Black Line - i don't wear black black eye liner and Black Line doesn't look hard black, it's dark but gilded. Both Black Swan and Black Line are permanent. Petrol Blue is also permanent, but i guess that these Pearlglides will have special packaging.

I have only experienced the Pearlmatte Blushes from the Vera Neumann collection. Both had blocks of different colors, some pearly/shimmery and some matte. In this collection there is a larger base color likely of one finish with small hearts of different colors and finishes, so we will have less control over what colors and finishes we pick up.

BTW, those who love heart shaped products, check out the up-coming Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush

It looks lovely, if perhaps too peachy for me personally.

I MUST have :P  :
that peach Pearlmatte in the picture *__*
a quad (I have to choose which one depending on swatches.. I like both color combination)
the purple pigment.. maybe the pink too XD

at last one lipstick... the pink one looks nice.. nothing red or vampy for me this time!

maybe a blush, depending on swatches.. and depending on my budget!
 

sooooo I like both the look of Betty and Veronica.. give me purple, pink, nudes and peaches and you'll make me happy 

omg i want a lot from that list. thanks for finding it naynadine. you run this site with your info. 

i need the soda blush, and at least one pearlmatte powder. probably the peach one. shop cook was my biggest haul this year with everything plus crazy back ups of tendertones. this one looks like is the anniversary in date and haul size.

huminah huminah. Tx Detective Naynadine. Crap. I have vet bills up the kazoo, but I still want a lot of stuff. OT: I'm very depressed. I had to put my baby Shetara down today. The doctor said she had bone cancer and that even if we decided on blood transfusions it doesn't mean it would take and it may only prolong her life a few weeks. I decided to put her to rest to save her from all the poking, proding and pain she was probably in. This is my fifth baby to pass away within the last two years. I don't think my heart can take any more sadness. I will be back tomorrow to enjoy all this new stuff. At least makeup will take my mind off my sadness for a little bit.

I'm so sorry for your loss

For what it's worth, kitty was very lucky to have such a wonderful human (because we're never ever owners, oh no!) in her life and now she's in a very happy place away from pain and needles

Thank you BuickMackane.

My preliminary list for now consists of (depending on swatches and what other stuff may be added):

Cream Soda Light neutral coral satin powder blush

Flatter Me Pearlmatte face powder.

Girl Next Door lipstick (vivid blue pink)

Spoiled Rich eyeshadow quad (been wanting this since we saw it)

Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte face powder. 

Strawberry Malt lipgloss (maybe)

Ronnie Red bright red lipstick (maybe. I'm kind of tired of red lipsticks)
