Are those duos the same colors from the Colourizations shadow duos? It so strange that Pink Popcorn and Budding Love from chenman are both lavenders with lustre finishes. Maybe since BL says pale lavender it will be lighter then PP.

This is definitely different. With WW, Heroine l/s was a bronze color with Frost finish. This is described as plum with matte finish. It IS confusing with the same name though!
Yeah, they're different. I just hope they don't use the same name for different products specially since WW just came out last year. Using the same l/s name for a new l/s seems that Mac is slacking off when it comes to naming their products..

It's not the first time we've gotten some advance info where the names were slightly off - I'm guessing it's got Heroine in the name, but along with some other word. If not, that'd be kind of weird.

It happened before that MAC gave the same name or number to different products. Just remember the 179 body buffer and the SP kabuki. But let's hope you are right and it's Heroine + [insert clever word here].

Reel Heroine would be a cute name!

I guess I care because WW Heroine is a really nifty color that I really enjoy, with a better than normal frost finish. It'd be nice if its naming stays unique, in hopes it has a chance to come back again some day.

lightscapade is being made permanent with this collection!! just an fyi

Smart move! They don't have anything like it in their regular collection and I think that there's certainly an audience for it on an ongoing basis.

This collection sounds very cool. Trying to limit myself, but I'm still interested in:

I know that all the MUAs at my store use Lightscapade as a regular part of the work they do on private clients - it's the go-to highlighter for bridal makeup for all of them (understandably!) I'm sure there was a push for it being made perm from pro customers as well as standard clients and that tipped it over the edge.

As for Reel Sexy, I'm definitely going to hold back on Shop/Cook - particularly the quads and maybe some of the lip products I'd been considering - to make room for huge haulage from RS. The color story here is 100% up my alley and flattering for my coloring, plus I love colored Eye Kohls (I like the smudgy pencil look so much more than gel liner) and Cremesheen Glasses to death, so huge haul here I come. Other than the Extra Dimension shadows, this will be the Big One for me through to the summer Mineralize collection, more than likely.

Also here's what I'll be getting, with some advance thoughts on why, how & BU or not:


Lipstick
pink popcorn- lavender (lustre) - This one will probably be darker than the Chen Man lavender lustre, which is labeled "light lavender". I've got plenty of light lavender between Quite Cute (which really works on me...I BUed it) and Fresh Amour mattene (which also really works beautifully, while the other light mattenes didn't). A little darker tone will be welcome.

reel sexy- light bright coral (amplified) - If this is what's in the promo picture, it's coming home with me - perfect Spring ver. of Toxic Tale, which is one of my dear loves. I like that it's Amplified, too. The only way I would skip it would be if it's instead very close to Jazzed - that color only looks best on me when I've got a tan.

watch me simmer- bright pink-orange (amplified) - I'll get this this week with Shop Mac (and probably just back it up this week too). I'm so thrilled with all these wonderful brights.....I know I'm going into overdrive with 'em, but it's honestly the best look on me and certainly what was always "me" since I first started wearing makeup.

heroine- bright violet plum (matte) - BACK UPS. Honestly between the matte, the bright and the violet in this description, how could I not???

Cremesheen glass

private screening- mid-tone peach - This one ought to be a good Spring update for Geo Pink, which was my running out of the house gloss for a big chunk of 2011. Mid-tones work best on me by far too, so anytime I see mid-tone in a c/s/g formula, I'm instantly interested.

cinestyle- mid-tone blue grey violet - see my thoughts on Heroine, hehe. I'm dying to see this color!!

color saturation-dark cool wine - I like that it's a cool wine for a change. I love Richly Revered and Looks Like Sin, but they're both more browned out.

star quality- bright orange coral - Richer, Lusher is my standard coral from the perm line, so something brighter and even more orangey is extremely welcome. If it's anything like Caqui, but brighter, I'm going to be excited.

Eye shadow duo
dynamic duo 1 coral with yellow pearlized pigments (veluxe pearl)/purple (matte) - strong likelihood I'll skip this one - may lean too warm and yellow for me, since even slight yellow casts around my eyes are very bad on me almost always. 'Same for purples that pull too warm....they're better but not ideal.

dynamic duo 2 violet duo chrome with pearlized pigments (frost)/violet (matte) - Come to mamma! No chance against it. I haven't had a nice matte violet in many years and combo'ed with a duo chrome? Hello!

dynamic duo 3 mid-tone purple (veluxe pearl)/teal blue (matte) - I skipped Robin's Egg, even though I was really tempted, so to have a mid-tone purple VP + a matte teal means this one's getting bought, period.

dynamic duo 4 mid-tone pink (satin)/blackened violet (matte) - I'm most likely skipping this because I prefer less blackened purples overall. The pink would really have to blow me away to turn my head and it seems like so many pinks just don't achieve that level of depth and complexity I crave - the pigments to make a really rich pink are some of the most expensive out there, so it's no wonder. If this duo can rise to the next level, I'll get it but somehow I'm not holding my breath.

eye kohl
smolder intense black - 'got it, use it, etc. moving right along.

heirloom a highly metallicized greyed lavender - I looked up swatches of this and it's in the same tonal area as Industrial (meaning the same amount of light vs. dark). Considering Industrial is one of my favorite pencils, and this one's purple and an Eye Kohl on top of it and most likely will be waterline safe, means BU's galore. I won't want to run out of this one or have to ration my usage at all, like I wound up doing with Industrial. Probably will be an embarrassing amount of BUs, lol.

resort- deep amethyst plum -Yep. BUs. Especially if it has a red cast without being too warm, which would be my ultimate for a deep plum liner.

hyacinth- mid-tone blue - If this is a cool blue, with plenty of purple in it, there's going to be a boatload of BUs. It's hard to find a decent swatch of this online, even though it's a repromote, so I've been having a tough time figuring out if this is the sort of blue I love or the sort of blue I'm meh about and that does nothing for my eyes. It's a fine line with green eyes like mine....the wrong blue really competes and detracts, but the right blue makes them glow like rare emeralds.

So basically, I'm buying most of this collection. My bank account is already terrified but my sexy makeup quotient is sky high!
