Seductive Intent is lovely! Looks like this is going to be my first mattene, I can't wait! 

so, Revenge is Sweet lipglass is a repromote? it's the same one from the villains collection?

I'm getting the Mattenes, Unconventional Blush and RIS. I already have RIS from VV and FoJ, Fresh Amour & Rare Exotic Mattenes (in anticipation of the new ones I'm wearing a combo of FA and RE, they actually give a nice, intense colour similar to Night Blooming), but well... you can never have too many:

RIS looks lovely on Karen

I was determined that RIS would stay off my wishlist but now I'm not so sure...

Inner voice1: It's too sheer! You don't even like lipglasses that much anyway. You did the right thing by leaving it out of your CP.

Inner voice2: It's purple dammit! And so what if it's sheer? You can layer it over other lippies. Imagine how gorgeous it would look layered over Grey Friday! You need it!

Yours truly: Aaaargh!!!

Taste Temptations won't be sold here, but whatever, I'm disappointed with Unconventional... :( It is too pink, I expected it to be really levander. 

I was hoping Night Blooming would be closer to Outrageously Fun since MAC seems to have no intention on ever restocking it...but it looks completely different.  I think I might pass.

So far,I'm most tempted by Unconventional. I have a lot of pale, cool pink blushes, but it's also a colour I use a lot, so I don't think another would go amiss. I am a bit disappointed that it's not a true lilac, though. 

But the shadows of Taste Temptations are quite secondary.

There's a MAC counter in NY that still has a few OF lippies left in stock, and I'm pretty sure they can ship it to you.  If you want the info, PM me!

Thanks for doing this! I think I may skip Night Blooming and just get the two other mattenes - I already have Pink Pigeon! Hooray, getting my list down to two items!

I'm just getting a Revenge Is Sweet backup when it launches online.  Skipping the blushes - I have Magenta already and Full of Joy and I don't wear either much.  But this is good news as I've been makeup shopping like crazy especially from other brands.  My wishlist is long.  I think out of everything coming out I'm looking forward to Apres Chic?? the most.

I can't believe i'm saying this but i was thinking the same thing after seeing these comparison swatches. I already have Dear Diary and am getting Pink Pigeon for sure, i don't know if i need yet another lipstick shade THAT similar to those two  Need to have a good think about this lol.

I'll skip on this collection, I prefer buying from Après Chic or Strength in fact. Christine from Temptalia made a review of the quad, looks chalky and really bad. The blushes look pretty but I have enough blushes so I'll wait until the other M.A.C collections are launched.

Thank you for this.  I already have QS, DD, and PP, so I should definately skip NB.  Too similar!

Thanks for the comparison swatches, it's really helpful! :D   I'll skip on Night Blooming since I'm more interested in Pink Pigeon.  Petals and Peacocks looks lovely though, maybe that one will be repromoted some day ~wishful thinking~.  I'm probably skipping the rest of the mattenes and just go for Revenge is Sweet lg and Perky lg.  I'm still on the fence with Unconventional blush because I don't own any blushes, but the color is very pretty.  I recently bought a dress that matches the color of Unconventional blush, so maybe I'll take a chance and buy an actual blush for the first time.

Lol, and then there are those of us who do know and still want to get it anyway.

The mall I'm going to is closed for remodeling. Only three stores are still open during the remodel because they have their own store entrances. Macy's is one of the stores. There also doesn't seem to be a lot of traffic at this mall in general. I'm not expecting a ton of people to show up at midnight, and especially not for makeup.

Damnit, RIS is as sheer as it was when it first launched. I was hoping it'd somehow be more opaque this time around. I don't think I want it anymore. *le sigh*

I love love love RIS.  It is a gorgeous color.   If it is your first time getting it, you need a back up.

Those comparison swatches are great. Does anyone know what Nocturnal Instincts might be similar to? Still wondering if I should pick it up when I pick up my pre-order on Friday.

I want it so badly!

Thanks for posting this - I know it takes a while to line all those up on her site!

It's got that GORGEOUS natural sheen - that totally sells it for me. I wind up skipping most of the very pale cool pink blushes because they so often look powdery. This one is the opposite of powdery....so beautiful! It looked equally wonderful on Karen and Christine and neither of them have pale complexions, so it just goes to show....

Night Blooming still looks a bit tempting, but I honestly have Pink Pigeon (which isn't my favorite), and Petals & Peacocks, not to mention Quick Sizzle, Zen Rose and Rare Exotic - don't have Dear Diary, which looks most similar to my eye.

If I skip any of them, it'll be Night Blooming. 

Well, after visiting a number of swatch links -- thanks to everyone who has posted them! -- my list is diminishing

Sheesh, this year i've seen a lot of places where the Christmas lights went up the day after Halloween.

That's better than a few years ago when the Christmas stuff went up in mid-September!

So the day after Thanksgiving is just fine with me.
