Are you refering to Coral Polyp lipstick? Polyp in zoology term - a coelenterate, such as a hydra or coral, having a cylindrical body and an oral opening usually surrounded by tentacles, similar to sea-anemone. Dame Edna is not stupid to name products after disease. In fact, I think she is quite witty and clever to think of name/color that is found in coral reefs. So Coral Polyp is definitely a fun name!

Coral polyp should be this;

I will admit... I definitely bought a white matte Urban Decay eyeshadow because it was named "Yeyo"... I thought it was clever! lollll...

And flummoxed is my new favorite word.

I've been totally staying away from the upcoming collections but it looks like I can't avoid it. I came across Gladiola l/s on ebay, marked as sample and was wondering where the heck it came from. I thought it was a fake until I searched here! It looks pretty but I think it'd go in my forgotten pile. The shadow trio with Climate Blue, however, is my 2nd chance to get my hands on that shadow and I hope to bring it home with me this time!

Today I bought a sample tube of gladiola lipstick on ebay. As soon as I get it I will post pics and swatches for you all!

lmao @ the varicose veins bit!

i love this collection, think when i buy some my family will be like "abbey... dame edna make up?! REALLY?!" haha

i love the lilac and glasses combo...and im a glasses wearer so makes me love it even more!!

i really want the purple trio eyeshadows and prob a lipgloss or two..but personally i think they should of released some funky coloured dazzleglasses with it!!

 

[sambibabe]

I wasn't sure about the trios, but after looking at May's swatches, I am definitely getting them! Love the vibrant colors.

Exactly. Even though I really like this packaging, I've seen some samples and the colours don't appeal to me, so I probably won't be buying much.

On the other hand, if Hello Kitty has great colours, I'll get something, even though I find the whole Hello Kitty thing ridiculous and very un-MAC.

By the way, Dame Edna is coming out here a week or so before Christmas. Is that common knowledge and am I the only one who was surprised by this information?

Last I knew, this was scheduled to come out on December 26. I think the HK bit is ridiculous, too.

Pro store told me a week before Christmas...

She told me that today.

The Pro Store usually releases the collections a week early.

 

[Meryl]

Thank you! That explains it.

Awesome colors!

 

[abbyquack]

Yea, it looks so much hotter from the new swatches! Thanks ticki!

Is Splendid the l/g on the left in the swatch? I can't work out which one is which (except the pink one, obviously). I love the new swatches, quite excited about this collection again.

 

[Sanayhs]

Coral Polyp looks like so much fun. I'm pretty excited about it.

 

[GlamQueen21]

The swatches are awesome! I might get one trio, one lipstick, one lipglass and one beauty powder.

 

[kobri]

Thanks for the swatches! I am getting so excited, but why oh why did they have to put DE and BBR so close together?!? I'm gonna be so broke.
