Oh ok I see. I guess I won't be going to a mac event it's too late at night and I live to far away from any mac stores.

Sorry, wrong thread....

Sometimes they have small classes, where they teach you how to do a few different looks for the season, or put you with an MA for a one-on-one class, etc. Those can be a lot of fun and a good chance to catch up on new products and techniques. Maybe it was one of those?

this looks so cute

I'm so ready for this collection! All of the gorgeous purple lipsticks and Superb will be mine! I'll probably pick up a fluidline too, though I'm not sure what sort of look I could do with the sparkly ones.

In my opinion Raven is not as dark as Rockstar - it seems to have more of a dark, very dark purple to it.  I love Rockstar - oh and Raven is not as smooth and easily to glide on as Rockstar.  I hope this helps?

Yes, it sure does! I think I'm going to skip Raven after all. Thanks!

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet but you can see a sneak peek at the Dramatic Encounter lipstick on here: http://www.elleuk.com/beauty/beauty-notes-daily/my-week-in-brights-day-5

Looks like Prince Noir to me!

Loves it! Tx for the link. I love Prince Noir. Dramatic Encounter looks a tad more red plum to me.

My wish list is pretty long but I think I'm skipping out on the Archie collection. Its too bright for me and the Marilyn haul plus this collection will leave me going for broke !

Extra Dimension Skinfinish:
Whisper of Gilt

Superb

Fluidline:

Little Black Bow - Charcoal w/ dazzle pearl

Lipsticks:

Innocence - Soft Coral

Glamourdaze - Midtone Creamy Plum  (Depending on more swatches)

Dramatic Encounter - Deep Purple

MAC Holiday 2012 Leopard Lip Gift Set  - In Nude Orange (Depending on swatches)

Most of the lipsticks in this collection seem close to others from the not-too-distant past, except with the finishes switched around:

Beauty - pale cool pink (G) = Double Spin
Innocence - soft coral (F) = Ever Hip, Reel Sexy, Cut A Caper
Glamourdaze - midtone creamy plum (CS) = Offshoot, One of a Kind
Outrageously Fun - midtone magenta violet (CS) = Petals & Peacocks
Dramatic Encounter - deep purple (A) = Musky Amethyst

I'm feeling like it won't be too hard to just skip these, since I've got all the others. I'll admit, I'm tempted by Innocence, since it's a frost and I don't have a coral frost (and love those light corals). It just feels like a "Greatest Hits" collection for the lipsticks and glosses. 

I AM excited for the f/ls and some new EDES, and of course, Kohl Powers! Watch me get all re-enthusiastic once I see everything in person....but I AM going to TRY to resist more lippies!

Good to know; I just ordered Rich Core from the Canadian site and bought Smut last week so I think I can pass on these EDES.

If I wind up breaking down and getting lipsticks, Glamourdaze is the other one I've got my eye on! It probably won't have as brownish a cast as OoaK or Offshoot, which makes it tempting. If it's like a little clearer Flaunting It with good coverage, yeah...might buy.  I really am starting to enter the Too Many Lipsticks Zone after all the bounty of 2012, so it's on my mind. Not to mention, I can see myself going hog wild with those Mineralize lipsticks next year......

Totally OT, but I've been seeing TONS of looks w/ MAC's Rebel l/s over Nightmoth on Instagram.. and it is GORGEOUS. Hehe.

I'm just going to be extremely picky and just pick up the bare minimum. I know I would love the black and nude one to add to the other ones that I have. I hope they aren't too expensive. It kind of hurts paying like $21.50 + tax for one eyeshadow :/

I've seen those too! I love bright lips but dark ones are new territory for me haha but those pictures are quite tempting

I use Nightmoth under all my deep red, plum and magenta lipsticks! It's a long time favorite. It used to be one of those makeup "rules" that if you couldn't get an exactly match between your pencil and your lipstick, to always go for a darker shade of pencil. That's still a pretty good rule, since that deep color underneath will bring out the richness in the lipstick's color and help with that illusion of fullness - just use it over the whole lip, rather than just lining and blending the edges, if the colors are pretty different.

Love Rich Core. I'm thinking about Grand Galaxy but I'll compare it to the new purple first. I'd rather have the larger one for the price.

I've just started getting into darker lips and OMG I'M IN LOVE!!! My "new" all time favorite dark red for fall is NYX matte l/s in Alabama! I was going to get Deeply Adored in MM but I passed after seeing this beauty (going to either grab Charmed I'm sure or Love Goddess instead) but just try it out, makes a girl feel instantly chic (at least imo it does)

Is the quality comparable?  I just have to ask, because I know its a lot for one eyeshadow but the EDES are so different from almost all other shadows, I would rather focus on a few than get a UD palette with shades that are dupes for stuff I have.  Just being devil's advocate (and probably MAC slave) here.  I do love UD eyeshadows, don't get me wrong & the Vice palette has some nice, smokey-jewel toned e/s.

I'm still on Team Purple when it comes to the lip products. That purple glittery gloss sure looks fun.

 

But i sure want more swatches, since i don't know yet which ED e/s i want yet!

I could break my lipglass no buy for it.  We'll chalk it up to skipper's remorse from never getting an AMPL.

Looks like a slightly redder version of Yung Repunxel too.  ITs a must for moi.

Thanks for that breakdown.  IF GD is really like Offshoot, I will get it and maybe a BU because I love that color, it is my favorite MLBB.  I never scored a PEtals and PEacocks so I would love an Outrageously Fun, esp. in special packaging.  Will it be white again like G&I?

I am going to try that.  Well, I don't have Nightmoth but I have Deep Purple by NYX and its close...

So I've asked this before, but I don't think I got any answers and I'm really curious, so I just have to ask again: Can anyone please explain to me why people love the EDES?  What makes them so special?  I didn't pick any up the last time they were around, so I have no idea what the hype is all about...but if they're really that amazing, I feel like i should probably pick up one or two of them from the holiday collection?
