The good news is we took him to the doc's this morning, his fever is gone and will be good enough to go back to school tomorrow so that means once he's left at school, I shall make my way to MAC. So sorry for the delay!

        thats ok, im glad that he is ok and come on give the kid a day off, he was sick!

Perky LG lots of shine, a little shimmer, minimal color, more like a over priced lip moisterizer with high sheen
Good times LG, too pasty looking on me
Revenge is Sweet.....I like. Gel like consistency IMO
The pallette is not my thing, colors are too dark except for a light lilac in upper left corner
Great for smokey eye look I guess
I tried the mattes just for you guys
They are soft and silky with excellent color payoff esp the two brighter ones
One is a bright pink and the other is more pinkish purplish if that makes sense
The mauve one was the dryest and least impressive to me
The blushes are beautiful
Love the soft light lilac one for lighter complexions ......didn't swatch it
The magenta one is a more brighter pink to me than magenta but it is pretty nonetheless
A bit dusty with some powdery falling out though
I didn't look at the nailpolish, two fluidlines, a liner and brush blush 129 long angle and of course would not be the same without the mascara......lol
I have swatches on my hands but not able to take a pic at this time

Thanks for the info!

Katred, Kimibos, & Michelemu21...thank you so much! My poor little guy has had perfect attendance 2 months in a row...that's great for a 5 year old! lol. I'd leave him home to rest for the weekend but he really misses school. I just hope this lasts throughout the rest of his years in school!

  thanks, im glad i never took that quad off my list.  

Thanks for the info Debbs! I'll be checking this out tomorrow and have really high hopes for the mattenes. I  any lip product that's blue-pink so i know i want Night Blooming.

I'm just lurking this thread because I was so happy about this collection (I love love love purple lippies, I was lucky last month to find Potent Fig mattene - here in Italy we haven't chances to find old products in stores usually - and I'm loving it!) and it will be not released in my country but I'm curious about purple lipsticks and the cool fard...

I read you were talking about blue lipsticks and stuff like that... Inglot this year released a whole collection of 6 lipsticks (I'm writing a post for my blog about it, I was so curious to have a chance to see them live and last week I finally did it *_* ), they look like really interesting ^^
 

ohh i went to my nordstrom counter and no collection there yet. my SA told me to call her next week.  i really wanted to pre order.

       yes. i really want to know more about the lipsticks. they are the only ones im not sure about. 

I'm interested in that new brush as well and the mineralize blushes, stereo rose msf, mineralize lip balms and 2 or 3 lipsticks
 

You know now that you mention that Debbs i'm having second thoughts about Night Blooming. I wonder how close it would be in comparison to MUFE's Aqua Rouge #10. I really love that lip color especially because it lasts all day! I really need to save for the mineralize collection coming out.

I heard from someone who saw the lippies that Night Blooming is similar to CYY (though probably more like the BR release than the original).  Anyone who's seen it have thoughts on that?  I think someone may have mentioned a while back that it reminded them of a toned down CYY.  And then the question becomes...if I have CYY, is it worth getting NB?

I missed that ChosenOne but thanks for the comment. I'm trying my hardest to avoid purchasing products that are close enough in color. Mac has made a ton of lipsticks described as "mid tone blue pink" so i'm pretty sure there must be some dupes out there for NB. Question is do i have any dupes for it? haha!

Thank you so much for your review Debbs!!!

I am so excited for this collection!

I'm glad your little one is feeling better. My son never missed a day of school for 6 years. When he had chicknpox in kindergarten it was during Christmas break. Then a few years later everyone was coming down with the flu and so many students were absent that they closed school on a Wednesday and to return the following Monday. My son came down with that Thursday.

I do wish you luck that he will continue to love school and do well. My son did continue to love going to school but not for the right reasons. To him every day was a social event and he was the host. His antics got him a one way ticket to detention several times. Hopefully your son will enjoy school without feeling the need to entertain everyone within a 50 mile radius.

Excellent review, thank you!

I'm so disappointed about the mauve lippie. I wanted all the mattenes and the lilac blush but perhaps I should go with the two bright ones (the lilac blush stays, obviously )

Do you find the magenta blush to be similar to any other MAC blushes? TIA.

kinda off topic but does anyone remember an ancient Lancome Colour Gloss Lipstick called Gris Chintz? I think it was 1999 or 2000 when I bought it (showing my age lol) and funnily enough it still hasn't assumed the smell and consistency of toxic waste. It's a greyed lavender, and definitely not mauve (*cough* MAC *cough*). strange that a brand like Lancome released such an edgy shade back then (well, i thought it was edgy).

ah, memories...
