Yeah, definately can pass on this collection after seeing swatches. Nothing really shouts out to me. More for Chill and BBR!

I'm eying the lipsticks from this collection, and that's it. I can probably pass on Kanga-Rouge because I have a zillion reds. So, two lipsticks. I can handle that. B2M!

I'm liking nearly everything about this collection. Though, I'm saving up on empties hoping to B2M for a few of the lipsticks otherwise I'm looking at a haul of about $200 in size. >_<

It's perfect for the character. I'm surprised the packaging isn't covered in glitter, packed in a spray of gladdies and mailed out in a diamante-buckled sensible heel.

I think I can limit myself to possum nose pink l/g from this one. Thanks so much Erine!!!

Out of all the lip stuff in this collection, I think I'll probably just get the Possum Nose Pink and Hot Frost. Those look really pretty. I think I'm skipping all the lipsticks. I'm also reeeeeally liking both palettes! As for the highlight powders, I'll probably get the more peachy one and skip the pink one. I'm also really liking the Varicose Violet nail polish!

Thank you erine,
From the swatches I won't get any lipsticks, I don't really wear brights that often and I got the 2 manish ones so i'm covered for a while.
I do want both highlighters, 2 trios and hot frost and possum nose pink lipglasses. I guess I better get saving, lol!

The lippies definitely are not anything unique.
Gladiola is just like and fuchsia lippie they've made before.
I don't know anything similar to Coral Polyp, but I think the color is hideous. Maybe Flash-n-Dash from Fafi is similar.
Kanga-Rouge - Red She Said. They're both blue reds.
Hot Frost... Starlet Kiss? Culture Clash??? Any cool toned pink really. MAC throws this type of color into a lot of collections it seems.
Are Splendid and Possum Nose Pink switched on the swatch? Splendid says pale coral, which looks like the pale color next to Possum, and Possum is a bright coral... which looks like the color next to Splendid.
Royal Eye Trio, Dupes:
Royal Tour = Lotusland from Starflash
Dame's Desire = Nocturnelle
Climate Blue (repromote)
I have all three of those colors. So skippinggg!!!!
Wisteria Trio:
Okay. I just hate the finishes. It's not worth it for me.
But for the middle color, it might be worth to others for picking up.
The beauty powders would be worth it too. But I personally won't be getting it.
Those are my thoughts after seeing the swatches. Heh. I think everything is skippable except for the powders and the Wisteria Trio (in terms of colors. Heh)

Well I've not had a fuschia l/s from MAC, so I'm excited about Gladiola. Especially because it's MATTE! (Aka the best formula EVAH!) I agree that a lot of the products are kind of so-so, but I'm definitely looking forward to Gladiola, Possum Nose Pink, and the Wisteria trio. I don't have any silver shadows (a problem I'm in the process of remedying if these damned LEs would quit draining my wallet!) and the black velvet in it looks nice as well. Plus Wisteria is obviously GORGEOUS (a Parrot killer?)! I'll probably grab one of the highlight powders just for the compact as well. (Though maybe I can pass, if the Monogram compact is sufficiently divine!)
