After Mostly Sunny's swatches my list has gone down so much (I thought I was going to be broke)

I think I only need:
Hot Nights Blush (the peach one is similar to the others I have)
Golden Elixir Strobe Cream/Man Rays Bronzing Oil (still undecided)
Rhythm Lipglass


I may be tempted by the shadow pencils since i'm a sucker for the Laura mercier caviar sticks, but I'll try to be strong!

I am thinking the quads look really beautiful, but dupeable if you have a lot of eyeshadows. With the special packaging, they will be really hard to resist. The non dazzle lippies look like shades we have seen before.The violet one actually reminds me of Pink Popcorn, but hard to tell without seeing it in more swatches on many different skin tones. I can't say anything bad about the Power Eye pencils except it better not be hard to sharpen them. I am SRSLY contemplating getting all of them. Both Dazzle lipsticks for shore. The blushes, I am not too sure on, Tres Cheek really raised my expectations and these look too shimmery. The colors are banging, but I don't think anything unique. The PLW bronzers are both great, but if I have to save money, I will skip--on the other hand, if I decide to splurge, I love both Sun Dipped and Nude on Board (the first looks more like natural sun if you are vascillating, and I am NC20ish in the summer for reference) but I may have to BU both of them with the special packaging. I am having a hard time deciding between the quads if I decide to get only one. They are both gorgeous but I really cannot decide if I love purple more or green. Decisions, decisions. It may boil down to either, which has better pigmentation versus, I get annoyed that Beauty Mark'd gets put in a quad, again. And, How the F*** did she get the sparkles to show up in Beauty Marked on her swatches??? It just looks like charcoal dust on me. Talk about an e/s I wanted to love but can't.
I agree, this collex of colors are not that unique.

b/c of these swatches my list has changed.

I want all of the pencils.
-but if I had to choose, I'd get the gold and bronze.

Even though I can dupe the quads the packaging is hard to resist.

The brush... maybe.

Lipgloss I'm probably one of the few who does not mind Mac's stickiness. I eat through gloss and lipstick.
Rhythm reminds of the shade that came out with Archie Girls
Soft Serenade reminds of the shade that came out with Glamourdaze
Underdressed... ok I have to get that
I have to get b/c my 3n lip gloss was stolen. Or was it 2n? I don't remember.

Blush
Hot nights looks like the blush that came out with Veronica
Ripe FOr love looks similiar to other corals, but I'm going to get it anyway.

I didn't like the bronzers last year when I tried them. But again, I could have used them wrong.

Lipsticks
still on the fence.
Caliente is nice, but not sure it will be nice on me.
Sheer seduction is nice, and I think it will be a nice layering color, but I have Ruffian gold for that... Aww heck, I'm getting it.
Altered Beige, I'm leaning towards getting this.
Feel my pulse... MAC needs to put their purple and hot pink pigments to the side for a few seasons. LOL But I might get it if it is a close dupe of Pink Popcorn. I love that color.

So two quads, two -three lipsticks, two glosses, 4 pencils, 1 blush.... not so bad.

Think I have a list finally!! BMS Quad- The colors are pretty dupable but it's just too fabulous to pass up!! Ripe For Love Blush- Don't have many blush colors like this. And it looks in the same family of Nars Orgasm blush, which I love. The purple polish- I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it. It's just up my alley. The copper fatty. Maybe the gold one, just don't know how I'd wear it. Maybes: Feel My Pulse- got a few colors like it. But just can't seem to resist them! Underdressed- it's so pretty! But bronzy colored lips usually don't look good on me.

same here
wasn't impressed at all but i see here everyone raving so much about sun dipped
makes me wonder why is it so special?

i have refined golden, 2 nars bronzers, 2 chanel bronzers, 3 guerlain bronzers, givenchy bronzer - do I really need sun dipped?

I absolutely love the way Rhythm looks in the tube, I wish it wasn't so sheer in swatches...I will still get it though.

Ok, as always I try to compare the stuff I like with something I already have (I don't want to buy dupes)

Ripe for love and My Paradise.. I guess MP is darker and redder.. any thoughts?

Hot Night and Prom Princess... Hot Nighit is of course more shimmery but I wonder if the base color is comparable.

Feel My pulse and Spitfire.. I don't think I should worry about this couple since FMP looks sheerer and also more purple...

I'd say RFL is more orange and MP more red/coral. HN ooks more pink and less magenta than PP. and FMP looks more purple than spitfire, which I believe has more violet and slightly red undertones if I'm not mistaken. I don't own Spitfire so I can't be sure!

Probably not. I have Guerlain Blondes or whatever it is called and am almost done with it so I got Sun Dipped last year to replace it.

I talked myself out of Altered Beige, so now I just need swatches of the polishes. I hope we'll see some before the collection launches here, I won't order them blind. I'll just get the blushes then.

For anyone who's interested, Debenhams also seems to have a couple of bits hanging around from old collections. I just got Magnetic Attraction e/s from Heavenly Creatures - having missed out on Daydreaming, I couldn't resist. I skipped the whole collection last year because I used to think that I could only wear cool colours and because I didn't used to wear cheek products at all - and I've regretted it so much. Anyway, I was really pleased to find it.
