It would be awesome if both collections would launch at the same time.
You would have to stalk the website only once then!

I don't understand anything on her site, but I love her photos. Thanks for linking this. From the angle she took the picture, the snake print on the beauty powder looks much prettier than I thought. I think I will just get one of each item, except the carbon e/s, pencil, mascara, and the pigments and from there my mum and little sister can pick what they want.

I'm very disappointed that there aren't actual emerald/chartreuse greens and golds and actual snake colours. Seems like the only thing snake-ish about this is the imprint. Like they just threw a bunch of colours in a pile. I was hoping for something more reminiscent of the snake eyes collection that i missed in 2000, before my mac affair began.

Snakes come in lots of colors. My pet snake Candy is pink and cream coloredI was hoping for something more reminiscent of the snake eyes collection that i missed in 2000, before my mac affair began.
I'm happy the US is getting this after all. I will need some items just for the snake print!

Google translate is the friend of those discovering websites in foreign languages.
Copy the URL of the unintelligible website, go to
http://translate.google.com
and paste the URL in the lefthand box
Usually websites are in the language in the URL (well, not the USA, but hey didn't we invent the internet? Don't answer - it was a joke). In this case NL means The Netherlands, so it's in Dutch and you want it translated into English, so select those languages from the appropriate drop down menus. Then hit the Translate button.
If you really don't know what language it's in, there's a Detect Language button, but it often fails to detect correctly - it kept trying to translate Hungarian as German. Good thing i can see the difference. Still, it's better than nothing.
Goggle Translate isn't perfect in other ways. I'm working on a translating a book from modern Turkish, a language i don't know. And it's a good thing i have a good Turkish-to-English dictionary to give Google Translate a kick. Plus GT is terrible with Turkish syntax. But it sure beats me having to look up every single word.

I know. But the typical colours that come to mind when people think of snakes are absent from this collection completely-varying shades of greens, yellows, reds, golds, etc.

Awe, I was reading reviews on makeupalley.com about Shell Pearl and it seems like this shade doesn't show up/looks chalky when piled up on girls with the same shade as me (NC 30). I would have to skip on this but hey that just means I've made it available to someone who really wants it!

Thank you! I never think of these things when checking out other sites. I always go "ooo, pretty pictures" and done. I forget that even though it's not in English that it still might harbour some good info. I hope you enjoy your book. It sounds like a really neat way to learn a bit about a new language too.
