Oops, forgot Vanity Fair which looks like a dupe for I like it like that/Saint Germain/Snob-family.
Geez those mega metals sure look smooth and pigmented in T's comparison swatches but, as was expected, very dupable too. Paparazz-she's the only one on my list now.

Now that Temptalia has the dupes up, I narrowed down my e/s list to THREE!
2011 is starting off right!

Thanks to Temptalia's dupes pictures, I've managed to remove a couple of eyeshadows from my list. However, I have now added Copper Sparkle pigment to my 'wants', and replaced one of them with a somewhat cheaper permanent pan refill. I'm also trying to decide whether to save a couple of pounds by buying Soft Force eyeshadow from one of my favourite online shops, or to get Peek At You, which has a lot more product in it. Decisions, decisions

yay, more swatches! so far i'm really liking peacocky, when we first got news of it i was adamant i'd skip it completely. i'll definitely get at least one shadow and lip colour, if only so i get to try the different formula out. here's my list atm:
eyeshadows -
ego (i'm a sucker for a gorgeous green shadow)
peek at you
mating call (don't have anything like this atm)
and i'm leaning towards dandizette because that's one of my favourite colours for e/s, even though i reckon it's VERY close to the colour i get when i pack urban decay's goddess e/s on top of primer. loooove a nice metallic blue!
and i'm also debating spectacle of yourself or centre stage.
i'd also consider top of the posh too
i'm gonna have to cut that list down because it's a tad excessive, budgetwise!
lip colours i'm a bit more iffy on, i need to swatch them myself really to judge properly, all of the swatches so far are all pretty different and confusing me! i'm loving some shades in some swatches and hating them in others. i get the feeling that when this releases in the uk though i won't really have time to try and swatch them myself! love peck is looking better and better in swatches though

Geez, I might be in the minority here, but after seeing all of the swatches and photos, I am almost wishing I did not try to get any of these at all.They really bore me- maybe in real life they will be a bit more exciting, but as of now, not one of the colors really jazzes me except maybe noir plum. And the lipglosses turn me off completely- they all look so splotchy on the lips.

*Covers her ears* Agree on the screw the bank part. haha
Ok so Tweet Me goes out the door, I wanted a more true gold but it's way too warm for my liking. Odalisque looks even more gorgeous than I expected, reminds me of partylicious pigment. It will look hot with Dalliance which I am very excited about! I can't decide if I want the pink posh one or not. I never wear pinks but this one seems soft.
My list is now: Odalisque, Dalliance, Prance and perhaps on top of posh.
Alot of of the lipcolors look very streaky. They are not tempting me and the red pearl in the blue gloss is not apparent enough for me.

Exxxhibitionist and VG Cyndi l/g look almost the same on Temptalia's lip swatches. I opened the pics side by side and don't even know which one looks better on her, they're so similar. Based on swatches it also looks like something between Toxic Tale and Vegas Volt.

But, in fairness to those reading, her swatch colors are not always accurate. Not faulting her at all, but just reminding those that go completely off of those pics. And, lip stuff tends to look streaky on her - (especially nudes,pinks - light pinks) & never does on me in person. I'm just saying - don't let that sway you because it may NOT be the same for everyone else.
I do appreciate being able to see pics of the new collections.

From Temptalia's swatch comparisons, I think I've narrowed it back down again.
Between Noir Plum and Grape p/m, I like Grape pigment better, which I already have.
Between Sexpectations and Cranberry, Cranberry is more what I was hoping for, so I'll just add Cranberry to my perm list.
That means it's just Top of the Posh and two Love Pecks for me. Nothing could be close enough to Love Peck for me to skip it!

After watching Temptalia's dupe swatches Spectacle of yourself is off my list and I added Odalisque and Mating call since I have nothing like those 2.
So my final list is:
Odalisque
Mating call
Dalliance
Prance
