Oh no, I'm starting to want a lot of these even though lustres aren't my fave. Can't wait to see swatches now, my list is all over the place and I'd love to get a better idea of how hard this collection is going to hit my wallet! It's looking like it could be my biggest haul from a MAC collection ever.

I've struggled and struggled with fluidlines... I've yet given up hope...right now I'm using cake liner instead which I find a breeze to do with a liner brush.... Though I still prefer the look and staying power of fluidlines...and the variety of color! Damn my hooded eyes lol
I have hooded lids and it took me a while to figure out what was up to do a nice line, but once I figured out the trick, I do best with fluidlines, compared to liquid liners.

Take a look at this picture:


See how when the eye is closed, the top edge of the wing actually looks like a straight, flat line? In this picture it's almost straight and flat, with just the tiniest upturned angle, but you see it's going straight out from the point where the hooding or downward folding of the lid begins. The under edge of the wing is more rounded, but when the eye is closed you see the line doesn't just go diagonally down to the lash line. it sticks out straight past the hooded point and only goes diagonal below the hooding point. When the eye is open, it looks like a very different shape. You have to draw an almost horizontal line out from the hooded point, then fill and round the outer edge of the wing, while building the inner line down to meet the lash line. Easier to show than to describe, but this is the way to make the wing look smoothly diagonal when your eyes are open - it's a bit of an optical illusion.

I like the one on the middle far left which should I thought was Real Doll based on the Right hand side pic, but from the pic on the left I think that is in fact Catty and Real Doll might be on the bottom line far left.

The middle 2 bottom line are pretty - I am guessing that they are Beauty Shoppe and Diva-ish.

Lustres are generally not my favourite finish, but Real Doll was quite opaque.

I hope I can stick to these 4 only

Thanks Dolly. What a relief. I see six I can skip easily, hoping to get it down to four.

My SA is calling me the day this comes in hopefully I'll be able to swatch then.

I do like 3, 4, 7, 8, 10 and 11.

Skipping all lipsticks, even the non-Lustre ones. If I didn't already have Snapdragon, I might have gotten the lower left corner lipstick but I don't need it. Generally, Luster finish + regular packaging = easy skip for me personally.
