I can't wait to see this collection IRL, but since I won't be near a counter for 2 more weeks, I think I'm going to get at least the Tempting quad online, then I will wait for perhaps the Shadowy Lady quad, 2 mattenes, Blooming blush and who freaking knows once I see the l/s and l/g - I will prob end up with all of them! This is my last big collection for a while (aka one month- how will i live?)!

Okay, after mulling over the swatches I think this is my final list:
Cult of Cherry lipglass X2 - this sounds like the elusive Cherry red lipglass I've been looking for forever.
Jam Packed lipglass - I don't have a deep plum lipglass in my collection. Plus who can resist jam?
Rich and Ripe lipglass - Looks like a warm red that would look awesome with some of my yellow-based red lippies.
So Scarlet Lipstick - nuff said
Spiced Chocolate quad - too pretty to skip and they look like such an easy collection of colors to work with.
and maybe Kirsch or Bing, but I need to see them in person first.
Did I mention how much I love this collection?

I think Kirsh is less severe of a color. Bing is darker & deeper IMO
I have Bing & I think Kirsh is very pretty, but I think I can get the same effect by using a lighter hand with Bing

Yeah, I've been thinking about it all day and I have come to the conclusion that dreaming about the Spiced Chocolate Quad two nights in a row has to be sign. It's just too beautiful to not buy it. I'm going to skip the tempting quad though and just do the SC and Illegal Purple.
Yay! I'm set in this decision. I definitely want a red lip too but I'm going to get Red Flame lustre for that because I don't like lip products that don't last all day, especially darker ones!
I'm so excited for Tuesdayyyy. I keep forgetting that I get to order Overrich pigments the same day too!

I will swatch em both for you tonight
In my opinion though so scarlet is not as bright and is a bit cooler than port red. The finishes also make a huge difference as there is no frostiness to so scarlet.

I think it was for the unveiling event only. I have one, it comes with a recipe too

As you should Susanne, it will be gorgeous on you, i know it!

That stinks! Give em a call and have em hold it for you. They are usually pretty good about it.

WORD! But you need 2 so scarlets 2 because they look so good together

As an nw20, kirsch was the most wearable to me. Kirsch has a reddish base while bing is more purple
HTH!

Thanks so much girls... I really wanted kirsch... but now I'm thinking of maybe just getting bing. I can try what you said jenntoz, using a lighter hand if I don't always want something dark.
OT, but..
I bought the new urban decay lipstick in apocalypse (the new dark shade used on Sephora's website and cover look) and I LOVE the shade, but it is caramel scented... and tastes like it too. I don't know why but caramel like that makes me sick. I can eat it in some candies, but that's it. So I have to take it back this week.
I really want bing or kirsch though... I've been dreaming of them... and CoC l/g. Can't wait to get them.
This thread is just full of enablers. Since reading this thread I want the shadowy lady quad, lightly ripe l/s, CoC l/g, bing or kirsch or maybe both, and possibly the chocolate quad.
Oh, and now I have to get some OPI nail polish because of elegant-one. (that one shade is sooo pretty though!) Thanks girls!

WHY WHY WHY do I want 85% of the lippies in this collection? I SO want to be comfortable in darker lips. I love the look, especially for fall. Usually the desire for darker lippies in collections isn't there, but not with this collection. Maybe it's cause for the first time since I got into MAC, I will be spending fall at home in Pennsylvania where fall actually means darker colors, colder weather, and comfy sweaters and jeans, unlike Florida
Ok girls, be brutally honest, can I pull off any of the following:
-Rapturous Mattene
-So Scarlet l/s
-Jampacked l/g
-Cult of Cherry l/g
-Rich and Ripe l/g
-Rapturous Mattene

second this rec. I think it would look lovely on you. Throw on some black liner, contour those cheeks and voila, instant femme fatal.

I discovered if I put my mattene over a tendertone the result is beautiful! Also its much easier to apply only a small amount that way

Girl, you can pull ANY of those off!! You just have to get comfortable doing so.
When I got a makeover by my fave MA at the Antiquitease event last holiday, she used Classic Dame mattene with Red Romp lipglass on me... and I felt so awkward walking out of there with bright red lips. I kept telling her that the whole time & she said, "You just have to wear them with confidence!"
Lets just say that opened up a whole new door in the makeup world for me. I don't rock the red lips or the dark lips all the time, but when I do, I feel a little empowered...
There is just something so sexy & feminine about red lips, like I am woman, hear me roar!! Hehe

I can wear darker lips on occasion, but I'm more comfortable with a muted dark lip, if that makes sense. I returned Rapturous way back when because it was just too intense/bright for me. I think maybe Kirsch would be more wearable. Honestly I can't picture you actually wearing Rapturous. If you search the MUA board for Rapturous jpg you'll come up with some good pictures on lips.

girrrll you know you can pull off ANY of those!
and you know I always give my honest opinion so here it is:
You'd look fab with dark lips in fall, you just have to be confident about them and feel great wearing it.
Personally, I know I could rock these lippies, the only thing stopping me from buying them is I know Id only wear them maybe once a month... and for me, spending the money on lippies I know wont be weekly wears, it isn't worth it, if you know what I mean.
Red lippies are really awesome to have, but unless you're the type to wear them every day, its almost like throwing your money in a bottomless pit.
I have Liza Red lippie (as you can see in my avatar) and its gorgeous, I love wearing it, but I probably wear it once every two months, because when you put on red lips its a lot of upkeep throughout the day and I really dont have that kind of time on my hands.
Im a really conscience makeup buyer, and I only like to spend the money on stuff I know I will get a lot of wear out of. If I bought everything I thought was wicked cool from every new collection launch, Id be damn broke
anyways, thats just my opinion.
But as far as how they would look on you, you're a beautiful lady, you could definitely rock those!

I feel the same way. These colors are beautiful but I'm not comforable wearing them. I'm pale (NW20) and when I try a dark lip it looks goth on me (not that there's anything wrong with that but it isn't me) It's funny, you mention PA...that's where I live. Since I do want to try a darker lip I think I am going to start with a gloss, probably Jampacked. I'm not even looking at the mattenes...too dry.
