I think I'm still passing, until I see it in person. 
Are you talking about the palette? First I was really intrigued by the swatches because they're beautiful in general, but I've looked at them over and over again...and I think I own dupes for most shades, some of them are even mentioned by T. Plus, blended and combined in a complete eye look, it won't really make a difference if I own some exact shade or not. If I had less eyeshadows in my stash, it might be a nice palette to purchase. That voice of reason in my head is quite annoying, lol :D I might rather pick up the perm Burgundy palette one day, because I don't own those kinda colors yet.

I have something similar in my stash and I rarely wear eye shadow.

Ah, I see. Although this is not the low-buy thread and it's always nice to read positive reviews and to see people being excited about items, anyway, it's always also nice for me to hear why people are skipping a product. I guess I'll grab the dupes I've got and play with them.

That sounds like a great plan. It makes perfect sense.

I am curious about how similar diva and diva antics are. Deep shades tend to look much lighter on her than they are on me, so it makes it harder for me to tell.
I want to be color matched just so I can know why my foundation shade is :p

Diva Antics seems to have a touch more berry in it than Diva.

This releases on October 8th for Scandinavia, All locations + online.
That's soon! I think it should be around the same date here in Holland. I need to make up my mind about the stuff I wanna buy from this collection.

I'm talking about everything. I have soo much stuff, it gets overwhelming to have near dupes, unless it is a color I love, (I have 5 variations of this one coral/pink lipstick from Mac, Nars, and TFord) or something like pleasure bomb, but even then, I can only have so much.

I totally understand, I'm in the same situation. At the moment, I'm still interested in some lipsticks, but hopefully swatches will help me find similar shades in my stash, so I'm working towards finishing some products.

I need the mattenes and the two blushes that aren't the terra-cotta one. I can pull off terra-cotta clothes and eyeliner and eyeshadow and maybe even lipstick because I have green eyes and neutral skin tone, but I can NOT pull it off as a blush. It would be awful. But I also want the two Guo Pei blushes. So we'll see what happens... I bought a lot of **** this fall already.

I forgot Devil is perm. I can just get that whenever. Idk what to do about the eyeshadow. I would DEFINITELY wear those colors, but do I REALLY need any more eyeshadows? I have SO MANY mac palettes and then I have two 12 eyeshadow custom palettes with all my favorite colors. And then I have every UD eyeshadow ever made and every MUFE shadow ever made. And here's the kicker, you can barely even see eyeshadow when I wear it unless I raise my eyebrows and look down. So if I was smart I would just rock cat eyeliner, lipstick and blush, forget the shadow other than inner corner and brow bone. Oh decisions.

OKAY, trimmed it down. If I've got the money, I'm going to get A Little Lusty, Strutting Fabulous, Personal Pick and Well-Behaved. If I go crazy, I might get the other two mattenes and cheer me on, but cheer me on is really similar to Rule. So that's just four things. That's super good if I can stick to it.

She is so cute! Blush looks great on her. My ghost face not so much lol
Karen has a video up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxsyj-PxY0o
She does! And lol. I'm gonna get Burnt Pepper but it's perm so I'm not sure if I'll buy it with this collection... She also did a blogpost: http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/mac-makeup/mac-macnificent-me-collection/ And Self-Aware doesn't look nearly as yellow as in T's swatches. I really like it here!
