IElude b/p and both piggies from this collection. I also like both Metal X, though I prefer Obscura over Ardent, simply because the latter one is too dark for my own liking, but both are striking colors. No creasing on my lids as long as you don't cake it up on the crease. I find them very easy to work with.
L/s + l/gL Restrict and Vacant are both lovely products, which work well together or can be worn alone, especially as the former one is more on the opaque side w/o look "dead." I will definitely get more BU as these colors are quite rare. Can't say too much about the darker products as they do not fall into my color scheme, but I can see that these have the potential to be very popular among fans of vampy lips.
Strada, as I said before, is a bit more on the powdery site in comparison to the original. Having played with it for a while now, it shows visible usage. So if you like to contour with it, the product certainly won't last forever, but it's very blendable.
Finally, I'm also a big fan of all three n/p, although in general, I hardly buy n/p these day - but these three are an exception. No wonky brushes and the colors add some real drama to the overall look of this collection.
You mean me.
I'm actually excited about all the lip products in this launch. And the pigments.

Obscura is definitely lasting a long time on me w/o creasing when I use a primer (I used Constructivist p/p) and set it with a powder (in the crease only).
I applied it at 11:30 am for a smokey eye look, performed in a 3 h matinee and a 3 hour evening performance w/ little eye MU touch ups in between shows. It's now almost 10:30 pm and there is only minimal creasing despite 6 hours under hot stage lighting. Ready to take it off now, but I'm definitely getting a BU.

I'm interested in Restyrict and Vacant! But what color is Restrict? A nude? a grey? Is it mettallic?IElude b/p and both piggies from this collection.

I'm really interested in seeing these lip products swatched, from the description I liked the sound of them as something a little different and versatile with each other or as stand alone colours or even mixing with lip tars/ lip glasses / dazzle glasses. I really want to see restrict swatch because this colour sounds right up my alley Thanks for the info Mac guy... Where I live there is no Mac pro, only in Sydney but wish I could get strada in palette form, so GP will have to do for me

I hope so. I'm more exited about seeing the packaging than the colors but its quite an edgy collex.
than the colors but its quite an edgy collex.well if you can that will be amazing but if not no stress! just try and relax when you get home from work - things must get pretty stressful for you so we don't want to add to that!

If you have time, great. If not, I'm sure they'll crop up soon. I'll keep trawling the internet for any signs.

Piggies and the polishes are the only items I'm intrigued by from this collection. Thanks for the review and confirming that those are nice items, Mac-Guy! I can't wait to see the swatches!

Can't for for your swatches!! Hmmmw wondering if the nude lipstick will work for NC20? So many turn orange/brown on me so i stick to more pink based ones but the one in the promo pic looks so pretty and promising!
And those pigments better be worth paying almost $40 Canadian for!!!
