I'm so glad I already have PC x2.

Pink Cult for sure. Marsh has now caught my eye; I love greens, even the 'ugly olives'.

I've never found a nude lippie that works better on me than Kinda Sexy. I'm kinda liking barely there balmy shades like French Kiss and Rich Marron now.

I'm on any train that has these gorgeous shadows. I probably have dozens of neutrals but I can never get enough.

I dropped by my local counter today and I noticed they had Pink Cult in stock (left over from a previous release?).
It looked beautiful in the pan, a lovely soft muted dusty pink colour.
Unfortunately when the MA brushed it on my cheeks it turned into a muddy reddish colour!

I ended up buying Full of Joy instead, which is a pretty pink lilac on me.
For reference I have strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes and extremely pale skin and Benefit Dandelion was neon orange on me when I tried it!
This really showed me the importance of trying before I buy.

Thanks so much for posting!!!

I am just crazy about all these next-level nudes, with the mustardy and grey undertones. Those glosses!!!! If they're smooth and pigmented like Bijou, I am going to be in heaven. Also, both of those CCBs

This is the collection I'm going to be most in trouble with out of all the fall collections.

I totally agree!!!!! You're smart to try before you buy. I'm going to have to do that with this one too. Nudes can be either very right or very wrong. For this one, I'm channelling Liba so I don't order online!!!

When it was released last in 2012, I swatched it at the counter and it was quite ashy on me too.

I'm NC 30 and I decided to skip it.

Hopefully this release is better because I want to jump on the PC train too!

Erin's swatch is gorgeous btw.
Pink Cult was ashy and powdery on me too, and I'm NC15! If it's got the updated texture like Cheeky Bugger, though, it could possibly work this time. If not, no biggie, since there IS Fun Ending. That one will be easier on fuzzy cheeks and also easier for NC.

Not to mention, the beige blush from this collection is making me go

- hard to tell from a paper swatch, but that is going to be amaze-balls. I predict it will be my next latest and greatest to replace Bareness.

I can't agree with you more!!!! SO TRUE.

I do think this collection is absolutely a "see in person" situation, especially if you have young skin. Those grey undertones in lip products can be aging on young gals, in my opinion, unless you like to look very 90's sci-fi. If you're a little older, they're a god send, though, because they have an evening out effect on the total face look. What'll happen is if you go in person, one particular color is just going to click! and you will be in love. Otherwise you will be fighting with poo lips.

The shadows and CCBs look like they'll be good for everyone though - one of my friends who saw the collection in person already was RAVING about Au Nature (she's a very science fictiony looking gal, though).

Pink Cult is one of only 2 blushes that I have a backup of (the other is Launch Away), and it goes on holiday with me as it goes with everything. I am around NW10 with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes.

I'm not interested in any of the lip products for this collection, but I am looking forward to seeing skin swatches of Breaking Ground and the 4 eyeshadows.
