Hmm. I seem to be the only one excited for this collection! I'm actually most excited for the 2 eye shadow quads I got, but YTL is a very me color. I guess this is not a "wow" collection, but I will get a lot of use out of those quads (I hope). I love items that can be go-to and I don't have to think about it too much. I'm still considering getting GK, Superwatt and the third quad (A Novel Romance) once I see them in person. The Fall in Lust shade from A Novel Romance might be calling my name.
You aren't alone! I thought the combinations of colors in these quads were super interesting, and I'm excited to see the blushes. I agree with you on YTL, from swatches is seems very useful for me.

I ordered 2 YTL and an HA lipsticks but still debating on the blushes. Has Animal Instinct been compared to X Rocks blush? I'm behind on this thread so apologies if it's been asked and answered.

Hi ladies :) I translated her review and she seems t be really happy with it. She calls the color "wonderful", says it doesn't feel super dry considering that it is a matte lipstick and that pigmentation is very intense.
Thank you for the translation. Did she say anything about it being patchy?

My package is scheduled to be delivered on Monday. Crosses fingers, toes, and eyes that everything is smooth sailing between now and then!

After stalking for several hours yesterday, I had do go out minutes before it launched. I was so relieved when both blushes and YTL was still there when I got home. They are still in stock, so guess I didn't have to worry :p But at least they are shipped now.
Still unsure if I want a quad and some electric cool shadows though. Will buy those at nordstrom, so I can get the goody bag :D

My stuff shipped last night, so it will probably be here Monday. I can't wait! I feel like I haven't ordered anything for ages! In reality it was just the end of June.

Well, my order still isn't sorted out with MAC and now half the lipsticks are sold out. This has not been a fun collection for me... At least I get to see all your wonderful swatches now before I go in to the store Thursday to finally get my order.

A very loose translation of her review. She doesn't mention patchiness or application problems. I've left out half-sentences that I couldn't translate properly but nothing points towards criticism of application.

"It's the first time I've tried on my lips a heavy intense purple / brown color like this one (...)
I am a huge fan of lipstick and I've seen a lot of colors come by, but this one is new to me. Time to review it!
Lingering Kiss is one of the six lipsticks that are available in the new 'A Novel Romance' collection from MAC. A colorful collection with beautiful shades to suit all tastes.
Lingering Kiss is the color I'm going to test, a matte shade with a deep warm color. At first glance it seems to lean towards a brown hue, but if you look closely, it is a very warm purple / red. I'm a big fan of MAC's matte lipsticks and could not wait to give it a try. As you can see it is a mix of burgundy and purple and in one word: Wonderful!
It took some getting used to because this color was really new to me (...) but it is very beautiful and intense at the same time. It is a color that I would not often wear myself but I think it really fits a tanned or dark skin tone perfectly and certainly in particular during fall or winter day. (...) It does not feel very dry for a matte lipstick and the pigment as you can see in the picture of course is very intense."
Thank you for the translation. Did she say anything about it being patchy?

None of the lipsticks are sold out on the Canadian site - I just checked. If you're concerned that you haven't received a shipping notification, don't be. Half the time I have my order in hand before I get the notification; the only time I get the notice first is when it's express shipping.
