I want Japanese Maple or Pure Zen, but I'll have to try them in person. I have been looking for a colour like this for awhile with no luck so hopefully one of these works.
After seeing different swatches I'm just not sure about the others. Probably two others but I'll go try them on first.
No glosses for me -- I'm trying my hardest not to buy any more gloss so I'll wait and see if any of these become favourites or must haves. Glad they are permanent so I don't have to rush.

I love all the natural colors, except the orange. I plan on getting all the glosses and B@M for the lippies, except for the orange because it would look horrible on me. I think all of these glosses will look great over my go to lipstick, Viva Glam V. I usually use this most days and switch around the gloss i put on top. I'm really excited for them.

I saw the whole collection on Thursday - only now getting a chance to sit down and make a few comments.
First off, for me, the absolute hands-down stand out was Rising Sun CSG. It looks like a light apricot in the tube with beautiful golden shimmer. On my lips it read quite sheer, but just enough color to enhance and tone down my red lips at the same time. However, the main thing is it made my lips look insanely luscious and full - not sparkly, just letting the light reflect off the lips in all the right spots to bring out every curve. It was definitely one of those colors that is more than the sum of its parts.
The cremesheen lipsticks had a new texture, more like a cross between the new lustres and cremesheen. They're not quite as pigmented as some cremesheens, but they apply more evenly. Just don't expect full color coverage - they're more along the lines of Flamingo - but even smoother application. There are a couple of cute pinks that are very close to Flamingo and the orange is very cute too. They're all pretty subtle, though - the type of colors that will look perfect on just the right skin tone and maybe a little meh on others, but with enough variety that everyone ought to find a decent shade - think slightly pastel MLBB - that's the feeling here.

I love Flamingo and it is really good to know that I can find a similar shade in the perm range now.

And

We never got this collection here in Germany and I was really sad that missed out on these lovely shades.
Belgravia is so pretty and I am glad that I can a very similar color with Pink Pearl Pop!!!

Thanks! I was thinking of getting (another) Venus BU but I think I'll just pick up Pink Pearl Pop instead.
