You probably won't need to stalk. I don't think these items will fly off the shelves like some other collections. I wouldn't wait too long either. You never know though. It's so hard to judge. What do you guys think?
That's what I'm thinking. I had a huge list when we first got the color story for this, and with all their inconsistency with the release dates, I'm only wanting one thing now lol

I think they're going to go fast. Many love brights.

I think some will go fast, like Toying Around and Happy Go Lucky.

My shopping list got shorter and longer. Originally i just wanted the three yellows. Now i've cut out the Pigment and added a possible lipstick and/or gloss...

TO BUY
Playland Lipstick - Frosty Yellow Gold (Frost)
Brightside Lipglass - creamy yellow

TO TEST
Sweet Experience Lipstick - Bright Pink (Amplified Creme)
Lots of Laughs Lipglass - creamy peach

As for Sweet Experience Lipstick, it depends. I don't like really bright lipsticks. I loved Flamingo but it has gone walkabout. So i'm curious how close this is to it...

Someone asked about lipsticks and glosses, matching them up, looking for a one-to-one correspondence in this collection. Well, it looks to me like the four glosses match pretty well with four of the lipsticks... BUT I don't match lipstick and glosses. I use glosses to alter lipstick colors or to enhance them. I think Brightside will be great to warm up light lipsticks that are a bit too cool toned. I also like to put a dab of certain glosses in the center of my lipstick to add more depth and dimension. I rarely wear glosses alone.

Here is my guess: Of the lipsticks, I think Toying around will go the quickest. Red Balloon and Happy-Go-Lucky will be next. Sweet Experience will be right on their heels, with Playland right behind.

How do you think it's going to go???

I actually tend to agree with you. The lip glasses I don't think will go quite as quick, but I could be wrong. The lilac might go quick, or the brights as they likely pretty unique in people's collections. The CC's didn't get the best reviews, so those I think will stick around awhile.

Glad to see some pics up with more color true swatches and full face makeup, my list has definitely gone down and I'm happy for it.

I think the lipsticks will sell like hotcakes. Especially now that temptalia and Karen have both given them good reviews. It won't be like riri but it won't be like by request either.

Yes, I thought By Request didn't do so well this time 'round.

I shared this in the Sephora thread and thought there might be some interest here too... so here ya go dolls...

With the Playland Collection just around the corner, I've been trying to search through the brights in my collection. Overall, I think I'm fairly satisfied with what I have and most likely will only get 1 lippie and maybe a pigment. But for those feeling the lemming hard for Spring & Summer Neon and Brights... Sephora launched 4 new shades of BRIGHT lipsticks! The placard in the store said "SEPHORA COLLECTION NEON ROUGE CREME" but online it seems its called "Escape To Rio." http://www.sephora.com/escape-to-rio-rouge-cream-lipstick-P385610?skuId=1567429
And they have cute names too (although those names aren't listed on the website): Flamingo, Hot Bikini, Samba, and Cougar!

They retail for $12.50 and would be a pretty good buy especially during this week's Sephora 15% sale! SO, for those wanting some new brights here's some pics!!

Left to Right: Flamingo, Hot Bikini, Samba, and Cougar (swatches taken outside in natural lighting. Shows the shade pretty well but lacks a little of the brightness that they have in real life)

These swatches have me all over the place like this release date lol. I just don't know anymore. I was so set on Playland and Brightside but I think I'm going to need the yellow piggie to make them look like the swatches we've seen before. They look so sheer and I can't really tell by T's or Karen's swatches if they're buildable enough. I'm just so lost lol. This will be the first collection in a while that I'm heading to the store to check out. I just hope I don't walk out with any extras lol Okay PixieDancer just helped me immensely with those Sephora lippies! I'm positive I can walk out without any extra lipsticks from this collection. Those things have me drooling
