Thanks again for all your detective work, Naynadine - Director of the FBI.

I enlarged the photo on my laptop and the far right one is PURPLE - looks more bluish purple too, along the punk couture lines and then the one next to it is a greyed out plum/mauve sort of like a little warmer, lighter, dirtier Private Party. Nothing too neutral about those babies! I think the Mineralize collection will be the one with the real brights, though.

Pet Me Please is definitely the one on the far left. It's a frost. I could see the one in the promo pic perhaps being an amplified. I'm honestly hoping it's a lustre or a cremesheen, or maybe a satin, if it's a moister satin like Just a Bite was. It's another peachy nude like Runway Hit or Fresh & Frisky, or a few of the new Mineralize lip glasses, but hey - that peach nude shade is always a favorite of mine and is obviously one of the big trends of 2014.
Really? I thought it was the 2nd from the left, as the first one looks more peachy-beige to me.

I hope the peachy nude isn't a perm colour or a repromote.

Peachy nudes looks gorgeous on fair to medium NC complexions.
You enabler you. I'm nc30 and when I rock peachy nudes w dark eyes I think I'm Brigitte Bardot (in my head and twirling in the bathroom w my hair tussled all around..... I was clearly born in the wrong era sigh.....

YES!! With all the nudes I have I don't think I have an amplified one.

2nd from left has too much of a pink cast to it to be PMP, which is a very light color and more of a slightly dirty champagne cream beige. I would wear it all the time with either Spree or that really pale green lipglass (which both came out with Fabulous Felines too).

I think that 2nd to left one is the one in the tube in your promo pic photo with the underwater model. Actually, whatever she has on her lips I am seriously loving very much. No way to know for sure, but I'm hoping it's the plummy one 2nd to right with one of the lighter lipglasses on top, maybe with that really light lip pencil underneath.

Or the RIGHT era, because the lipsticks we have nowadays are just such better formulas than the old ones from the 60's. I used to play with my mom's 60's lipsticks when I was little and those things were dry, patchy, frosty messes - nice colors, but waaaaaaaaaaaaay better in today's retro-modern versions.

There is no look I love more than Runway Hit with serious black Superslick liner cat eyes and something fabulous on the skin like Centre of Attention, Fairly Precious or Adored, then slap my hair up in a messy updo.

Well, looksy looky at this. Yup. This is a definite yay for myself. Loving the lippies and the blush. I can't make out the shadows too well even when I enlarge it. I will have to check it out on IG later. Thank you miss0annette!!!!! As of now, my preliminary is the blush and at least three to four of those lippies depending on swatches and finishes of course even though that really doesn't always make me change my mind.

Most of the time, I'm an anti-enabler.

There is nothing worse for me seeing people (in general) fall for the wrong shade, especially when this happens over and over again. But I love to point out what works well for different skin tones.

I like this collection! I'll probably do the 2 far right lippies, the 2nd one from the left and blush. I want to know whats in that large compact. Its so pretty

I want all the lipsticks, both lip liners, and definitely a compact or 2. I know I'm gonna want more as more pics emerge. I better start saving from now.

The lip products may be cute, but I really want to see the shadows. I can't see the photo that we'll, but they don't seem that bright. I was hoping for brights b/c I have a ton of neutrals and I want to get the new warm 15 pan palette. Are the powder products extreme dimension. I am a newer MAC collector so I am not familiar with extreme dimension.

Does anyone know if the shadow will be the smaller or larger version? I cant pay almost the same price for half the product

.... If its the smaller version I am going to pass on the shadows.... The packaging is beautiful though

I'm pretty sure it's the small version.

I'm having trouble here. Since I am on a low buy I'm not going to buy anything just for the packaging. But, nothing is standing out to me. I was excited about the shadows until I remembered they where ED. Maybe PMP -- I believe someone mentioned it's nice to make your lips look fuller.

Excited we finally have some pictures!! That blush is a possibility. I'm not even beginning to make decisions on which lipsticks I want until I know the finishes though. As if I need any more lipsticks in the first place

Me too! It looks so pretty in the tube! If Europe is getting this collection first, will it be released around end of April?
I don't know. Germany usually gets collections at the beginning of the month, so I guess beginning of May, just like Temp Rising.

Most likely start of May. Temp Rising was released on May 8th in Scandinavia last year so I'm expecting something similar this year.
