I have a feeling this collection has been made permanent for North America as well. I ordered a couple of Saint Germain lipsticks for a friend a few weeks back from mac.ca but I had to call in because Saint Germain wasn't available online (just wasn't there at all). The girl I spoke with said it's strange that I didn't see the lipstick online because that particular lipstick has been made permanent. And now you ladies mentioned a few of these lippies don't have the triangle beside them and sure enough none of the lipsticks have the triangle which makes me believe they made this whole collection permanent for US/Canada as well...at least online it seems like it.

Question about Euristocrats II lustres
I don't know if I'm the only one to notice this, but I swear that the lustres released with the Euristocrats II collection that are now permanent (London Life, Milan Mode, Naked Paris, Cockney) are a slightly different formulation than regular lustres. I find them softer and most have more sparkle than a regular lustre. I also find that they have more of a tendency to travel, so I have to be more diligent about using a liner.
Am I imagining things? If not, does anybody know what the change was? I quite like the formulation on those colours and I'd be curious.

Re: Question about Euristocrats II lustres
i have naked paris but it doesn't look that different to any other lustre lippie that i have. although because these were perm in the uk i can't remember if i bought it before or after the collection came out! it was last year at some point though i think!

I have Going Dutch lipstick. I can do swatches if you want, but I don't have a camera with me right now, so maybe in a few days' time.

Naked Paris is definitely a favorite for me. I just love the silver sparkles with the plummy sheer browness of it...

Ok I'm back with the swatches!
Lustering - Going Dutch - A Rose Romance
(Top row) RazzleDazzler - Naked Paris
(Middle row) Lustering - Going Dutch - A Rose Romance - Fun Fun
(Bottom row) Barcelona Red
Without flash
With flash
I would say that Going Dutch is kinda like a cross between Lustering and Barcelona Red, but it's closest dupe (according to what I have) is Lustering. However, Going Dutch is more coral than Lustering, and Going Dutch has more dimension/sheen to it possibly due to its frost finish. Let me be more specific and say that with its sheen it really looks like Lustering, but if you tilt it in such an angle that its sheen is less obvious then it looks more like Barcelona Red. HTH!

Thank you! I found my London Life and love, love, love it. Such a great buildable berry with multicolor pearl. Rue D Bois is nice too. Just ordered St Germain--is it Perm? Considering Going Dutch and Costa Chic!

Yes, London Life is a pretty color too.
I'm not sure if St. Germain is perm though. I never managed to get Costa Chic, but I'm still thinking about it.

I think that's right. I just bought a St Germain and noticed Naked Paris, Cockney, London Life and Milan Mode are still there on the MAC website for US. Which is cool, but I swapped for NP, MM, and LL from someone in Europe because I didn't think we could get them here. It is good to know we can always ask for a CP if we need something perm in Europe (shoe will be on the other foot for a change!)

I'm on my second Patisserie l/s and I'm in love with it! I may have to order another again lol I have planned to order Saint Germain l/s for the longest time and will sometime soon.

Damn I started thinking about Milan Mode and Cockney. Maybe Patisserie too. I need them.

Milan Mode is absolutely gorgeous. I picked it up awhile back on a whim and I'm glad I did. So buildable and brightens the face.
I love London Life the most. I can't even tell you how much. Cockney is also a fave.
Saint Germain is terrifying. I haven't worn it outside yet. It'll take some work, but I'll get around to it eventually. I may pick up Patisserie even though I doubt it will show on me.
