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