I just got back from previewing the collection...and loved all the eyeshadows, this is just my personal opinion of when I swatched the colors at my local MAC counter. I only had the opportunity to swatch with the exception of the lipsticks and glosses. I wasn't blown away by the glosses and I didn't even swatch them, but I wasn't interested in any of them. Only after I put on Feed the Senses, I felt it needed something and look at the colors through the tubes and realized that Liqueur would go well with it and I added it to the lipsticks with Whirl liner. For reference, I am NW/NC20 with Green/Hazel eyes. I hope this helps.

Eyeshadows:
Guilty Morsel is a Lustre, but didn't feel gritty to me and I don't have a gold quiet like it in my collection. Sex & The Oyster was beautiful and just as described...more of the blue gray on me. Divine Decadence was a beautiful bronze color...reminded me of something, but can't quite put my finger on it. Palace Pedigreed is dark plum just as described, but swatched beautifully (would go great with sweet succulence lipstick). Deep Cravings which is listed as dark shimmery grey was absolutely beautiful, I had NOT planned on getting it, but loved how it swatched on my NC/NW20 skin. Eat, Love was very dark with very little green, reminded me of Bows & Curtseys. Beluga which is the dark chocolate was not available for swatch..they only got 2 of them in and they preferred NOT to use as tester...I got it, but want to see swatches.

Fluidlines: I was wasn't blown away by the colors.
Deliciously Rich was very shimmery and in fact a dirty taupe..would be nice if you don't already have something like it.
Guilt Gourmet was very shimmery/sparkling brushed gold...it got lost in my skin with the exception of the sparkling glitter...I passed on this one.

Creme Blush:
Tease your Tastes was a beautiful soft netural pink and blended well, I only own 1 cremeblush which is Ladyblush and I decided to get the other since it was beautiful on my skin.
Glamour Fest - Deep Rose...this reminded me of Stubborn which is a pro color...very dark.

Lipsticks: I wasn't blown away by the colors, but did pick up Feed the Senses and Sweet Succulent because I think I can make them work with liners and gloss.
Feed the senses was a light mauve nude, it was like my lips but better...I added twirl liner and it looked better, but I added Liqueur glass and it was just what I was hoping the lipstick would be.
Smash Hit was just a gold sparkle and reminded me of OutMinxed from the PP collection..very light...I passed on this one...the MUA said she couldn't see any color on my lips.
By Design reminded me of Bronzilla but lighter...it is frost and it got lost on my NC/NW20 skin...the MUA said she couldn't see any color on my lips.
Just a Bite reminded me of Charmed, I'm Sure from the MM collection, I passed on it.
Sweet Succulence was in fact a deep glossy plum and it reminded me of the Azelia Banks but in a luster...I did get it because it is lustre and I can wear a dark lipstick if it is a lustre. I have very thin lips and anything dark, gets lost on me.

Thanks for the insights ... could Patina possibly be what DD is reminding you of? In the swatches on my monitor that is what it reminds me of, just less interesting. I am starting to wonder if my monitor is just off as everyone seems to rave about DD but to me it looks really boring.

Also, did you go to a counter in a Nordstrom? I want to go preview as I actually have money saved for this collection but don't want to waste a trip into Dallas if they aren't going to let me play with it and trying to get any info over the phone from the closest Nordie's is like getting a root canal without anesthetic ...

Not Patina...reminded me of a cross between Woodwinked and Tempting.

May I ask what makes Guilty Morsel so "special"/ different from other gold shades?

VERY helpful, so thank you. I love Tempting so maybe there is hope for me to see what everyone else sees when I preview. Woodwinked makes my eyes look like I have pink eye, but if this is similar without that issue I would be so happy :D

Reminded me of MAC Dreammaker, but more gold in a soft way.

Hmmm. I guess these will need to be swatched in store. But based on MACGirl's review I think I'm just gonna get Utterly Tart and Liqueur.

If PP is like the one that released in a palette with the same name (and the swatches look spot on as far as color and texture) then I can vouch that it is drier than anticipated and applied somewhat splotchy. Beautiful color, but just too dry. I was going to at least pick this one up IF it were different quality wise than the one I have in my quad but it looks like it isn't. I wouldn't say it's a skip if you don't already have it, but it's something to be prepared for if you don't care for dry and splotchy shadows. I know that sounds terrible (it's the one thing I hate about this shadow) but the color makes it a labor of love for me. Just not enough to buy it again lol.

I don't want dry and splotchy, but would like this color. I will look for a dupe if there is one.
