Basically, what I'm getting from this is that I need Playland lipsticks and whatever that deep pinky-purple (Flat out Fabulous?) and frosty red are.

If you hover over the picture, its lists the lipsticks as CYY, Flat Out Fabulous, Chatterbox, Port Red & Impassioned.

Oh darn. I didn't even try to hoover around the pictures. I was just so captivated by the beauty of the colors. I'm hoping the Playland lippies will be much brighter!

Oh PD, that's just crazy talk.  We all know that as addicts we will find subtle differences that make each product unique, even when they release the EXACT same product (cough, cough, Runaway Red, cough cough, Heroine, cough cough, Lavender whip).  Of course a true collector must have one of each!  Okay, sorry, that was tongue in cheek if you dint know, I don't have a sarcasm font... I guess its too late to dissuade you, but save your money for this collection, gurrrrl I got that same feeling.  I reiterate, the eponymous lippie from the collection is usually the stand out.  I know folks are thinking they have no use for a yellow lippy but it will mix with the pink on lips and come out peachy or golden pink, it won't look the same color as in the tube and yeah, it is gonna be EPIC for layering I think.  Like Spring Bean lipglass, it doesn't look green on my lips, so this won't be full yellow once applied, you have to use color theory and imagine the combinations!  I don't think these will be pastels, more like brights similar to the Iris Apfel collection or the Shop x 3, Cook x 3 collection.  I am wishing they would have repromoted Playtime as it would fit the theme and maybe Lollipop Loving but I give up hoping for those.  I predict this collection gonna knock it out of the park.  (Which is why I keep saying I will start my low buy AFTER this one).  The promo pic actually disappointed me a little, but the products sound apropos
LOL @ "sarcasm font" No doubt! Ok... Just so you know, after this collection... I'm cracking down on you! LOL

Yep - we haven't seen the real lipsticks yet - although it sure seems like we've got the glosses, in a backstage photo posted earlier in this thread.

Thank you, liba! Since I love Amplified finishes, I will probably pick up these lippies if they look cool/different enough. I am looking forward to the lipgloss pencils also.

My friend's update experience with this collection was a little mixed. He's not really a neon-bright type of person overall - though he knows a unique lipstick when he sees one. He felt a little underwhelmed, like we've seen these hot pinks before. BUT, he loved Playland. It's very opaque, though, plus very yellow - he thought of it as yellow more than gold. I don't think it's going to let your natural lip color come through too much, so your skin tone will have to handle a strong yellow gold on the lips. I've passed on just about every gold lipstick MAC's come out with for years, because they're never quite right. Strong opaque yellow gold frost, though - that, I can do.

From what his feelings were about this collection, I'm actually not going to get too worked up until I can see everything in person. I'm probably going to go in more for the lipgloss pencils - my buddy was CRAZY about those and after being with MAC for 10+ years, that dude knows when there's something good coming up. He said they go on as smoothly as the Huggables, but glossier!

Which collection has the lipgloss pencils? Are those the mineralize ones? I can't keep all of these collections straight.
