Well that is true.  They are so sheer (both of them) that I get a lot of pink from the natural lip tone.  I would definitely recommend try before buying and Jazzed is a much more opaque coral if you want a good salmon coral color...

Careful ladies. Word on the street is both of these collections are Japan exclusives. Let's hope that's not the case!

just wanted to chime in on my highland honey

it is gorgeous isnt it......

I really liked tartan tale... yesterday i wore one of my dazzleglasses from it too!

By both, do you mean this one and Year of the Snake? I'll be bummed if they are exclusive to Japan, but at least my bank account will breathe a sigh of relief.

Really? See Sheer is my favorite lipstick!

I'll definitely be getting Devilishly Dark e/s quad 

Maybe Idol eyes quad (I still have the single idol eyes e/s from some collection it came out with and rarely use it)

Fresh Salmon l/s back up.. another one i barely use but only because i'm afraid it'll run out

& Heartless l/s

so glad my list for this collection will be a short one.

I wouldn't be surprised if this were true. Alot of palettes these colors were in, ended up at the CCO.  I swear they weren't THAT popular in the grand scheme of things.   I can see MAC trying to put them out there again in another market.

True and they were on the Canadian web site forever. I think that this was one of the collections that forced them to start implementing really tight controls on inventory. 2010 was the year they really started to push LOTS of limited collections, but they had tons of stock of everything, so it hung around forever. I do think it would be nice of them to bring a lot of these shades back, because they were really nice, ultra-wearable colours, but it wouldn't surprise me if they just decided to repackage it for another market.

See Sheer is also one of my all time favorite MAC lipsticks.

It´s truly gorgeous!

I've started a page on my blog for pictures for this collection, and I'm going to update it with swatches ASAP! Hope this helps =)

Well, if that is true, we can probably make our own quads since many of these are perm...although some of these repromos will be hard to find if not already in the stash (like Birds and Berries) although, come to think of it, maybe at my CCO?

Too bad it´s Asia Exclusive.

I really wanted Fresh Salmon...

well i also wanted fresh salmon and at least one quad!  .. . . .

A little frustrating -- there were at least 3 quads I wanted for sure. Oh well, nothing a bottle of holiday wine can't help me forget, lol!

I still want Shell Pearl. Snake print or no snake print!

ETA: Ooops, got the collections mixed up! My feelings re: Shell Pearl remain unchanged 

I had read on another thread that this is ASIA Release only....does anyone know if this is correct?   I am highly disappointed if it is...I have been searching since 2010 to get a FRESH SALMON and I have been unsuccessful.  When I read the details of the release....I cried tears of joy, then someone messaged me and said Asia Release Only....those tears turned into disappointment and heartache.

Pretty sure it's Asia only.

I was looking forward to Heartless and Fresh Salmon. Does anyone know the release date?

We should make a trip to Asia then...."specktra on tour"

I do really want a few quads!

OK, let's go!

I don't mind if MAC changes their mind and releases this collection worldwide.

Me neither...that would be awesome!!!

I have seen a few of these items on ebay and wondering whether to get or not, the snake skin print is tempting.  But, not sure I trust the sellers.  Wonder if there are any specktra peeps in Asia that want to do CPs?  I guess that would keep them pretty busy!  I am going to keep fishing around on ebay though, in case a seller with good feedback (and who has feedback on MAC items) puts one up for sale/auction...

Anyone know if this launched in Asia yet?
