I know, I am really hoping it is just the filter. In the other swatches it looked a lot less pink, and Liba's description was making me drool.
I don't take photos because it'd be rude to my friends who let me see things, BUT I also don't take photos because it's really hard to get a color accurate photo to display on the internet, plus so much makeup is influenced by your natural skin tone. I'd rather describe stuff as carefully as possible! Buy in person if you're not sure. It's as simple as that.

Team Low Buy is made up of those of us who for whatever reason have decided to buy less makeup this year. We all have different reasons and different rules. -- Some  of us set a number of items for a month or the year. -- Some set an amount of money to spend per month or the year. -- Some don't want to follow lemmings or buy into the hype, but just get things we actually like to use. -- Some are just thinking twice before buying items that are too much like things we already have, or are colors that don't look good on us. -- Some are getting rid of stuff in our makeup "collection" that we don't really like, that don't look or feel good. -- Some are getting rid of "back up" purchases of things we'll never get to. If i have 50 lipsticks, do i really need 3 of the next new thing? As exciting as a new collection may be, another one will be hot on its heels. If we buy one of EVERYTHING, we're likely to get things that we don't like - colors or finishes that don't work for us, wasting money and product. So it can be sensible to set some limits. If we buy some BACK UPS, often we've spent money on things we'll never get to because we have so many other lipsticks, eyeshadows, blushes, or whatever. Sure, sometimes we discover a HG item in a limited collection. But more often we end up with stuff we won't use up.   Some makeup people ran a test to figure out how many uses in typical blushes and lipsticks. A typical blush use was 0.014g per application. A blush that weighs 0.15oz/4g has approximately 286 applications. On the average if someone uses the same blush every day, and applies it twice a day, ONE blush will last 143 days. So they'll only go through 2-1/2 blushes in a year. If i currently have 15 blushes, it will take me 6 years to use them all. Similarly, an typical swipe of lipstick was 50mm. So the average number of swipes in a tube of lipstick was 293. If someone applied lipstick three times per day every day, a tube would last a little more than three months. That's 4 lipsticks a year. If i currently have 30 lipsticks, it will take me 7-1/2 years to use up what i already have. I'm not trying to discourage anyone. I'm on Team Low Buy, but i'm still getting stuff i really want. But it can be helpful to think twice about how long it takes to go through what we have and only get stuff we really love.
This is such a good summary of how long different items last. Def makes me more determined not to buy a bunch of the same thing.

By request lippies launched on the main page about 6:15am CST. I heard that they showed under the lipstick LE tab over an hour earlier though.

Thanks! I went to bed before that one launched. So that made it 7:15 ET. I have found them sometimes on the main pages before the collection page went up, but not recently. I think MAC may have gotten wise to us. :bigstar: Time to go charge my iPad! I don't have much money for this one, but if I'm still awake I'll get 1 or 2 things.

HG, if you are awake are getting anything from this? You are my skin twin so I'm interested in what you're getting. Liba, Pure Silliness or Carousel to put over HGL? The word lilac blinds my logic over Carousel lol

Do casual colors dry on the cheek or do they stay dewy?? SARAH 
I find it depends on your skin type. My skin is quite dry so it doesn't look very dewy. I love how they blend perfectly on the skin. The only thing I don't like about them is how dry they are on the lips.

Sweet Experience is like Flamingo, not Raspberry Swirl. It's a warm pink.The photos we've seen make it look much more bluish than it looks in real life. I wouldn't buy this collection online!!!
I have no choice if I want anything the closest mac to me is a bit of A drive
