So...I just browsed Ebay and did a search of MAC Ivy, Siahi, Saffron, and Mehr and just as I suspected the trolls already have numerous listings up for these items. All of them are listed multiple times for at least $10+ profit ($25 and up). I really wish there was a way we could speak in code about what items we were excited about. I know these people must belong here and probably live journal. All they do is see what we are excited about or what Temptalia raves about. I understand capitalism but this is becoming really sad.

Thanks for the pics Jenn. I finally feel comfortable about ordering Mehr and Gulabi without trying them first. Luckily they are still in stock on the Canadian site.
My package just came in!!! I'm soo happy, because I've been home sick and miserable all day! From MC, I got Siahi, Gulabi and Mehr.
Here are some pics - my natural lip, Mehr, and Gulabi - sorry about the wacky lighting! I'll try again tomorrow in daylight, but I know some of you can't wait
I am SO in love with these colours! Mehr is a little darker than I was expecting it to be and it does pull slightly brown on me, but it is a gorgeous rosy-my-lips-but-better colour - definitely considering how pale I am today from being sick! This will be my new job interview colour paired with Viva Glam VI gloss, I'm thinking...
Gulabi is the colour that stole my heart! I have Petals & Peacocks, but I find that it's blue undertones are a little strong on me. Gulabi pulls more to the red side, and it is SO flattering! It somehow manages to brighten up my skintone, whiten my smile and make my eyes sparkle! (Or maybe that's just the excitement. lol) It's a grown-up take on hot pink, and I could totally rock this colour everyday. Plus, I love the amplified finish

Thanks! I was wondering about this since I am so freaking sick it's not even funny, more like tearful, but what are the payment options? Credit card only? I guess I'm SOL with a mall certificate, huh? :/ Damn damn damn

Wow, long day
I wanted to just briefly come on to say I saw the collection today (at the store I figured it'd be at). I didn't want to peek at everything, since my budget was tied up for Peacocky, but yeah the Fluidlines were both so gorgeous, I had to overlook my mixed feelings about gel eyeliner and get them! Really beautiful colors that I think would be hard to replicate in a pencil formula and nearly impossible to do in a liquid formula.
Also had to get Mehr, which looked almost exactly like a matte rose l/s I had waaaay back in the 90's - it was a Poppy King color (she's the one who does Lipstick Queen nowadays and who made her name with super pigmented, dense matte lipsticks back in the day).
I'm actually pretty thrilled to see some greyish/brownish neutrals and lightly dirty MLBBs sneak back in true matte finish. They've been gone long enough that they look really new again and heck, they were always flattering and sophisticated back then - why not now too! Looks lovely applied without liner, with eyes using Dangerous Cuvee and some matte cats eye liner, some contouring and Chez Chez Lame for highlight (what I wore for the whole day).
Peacocky had a lot of colors that I last had in the late 80's and 90's too, so that was pretty crazy - I've been on a nostalgia kick lately I think.

Yes. I'm NC10-15 also and it's much more wearable than Darkly My Dear, for example. Just use a light hand and a skunk brush like the 188.
I can't believe MAC sent out the MC collection e-mail this morning when 90% of the collection is sold out already.

i just received my order yesterday, and sooooo happy with it!
i'm wearing vivah on the lid, blacktrack to line, carbon and folie in crease, saffron just above, and jaan to highlight! i didn't pick up sur (still wishing i had), so i went with dolce vita instead...and mehr on lips. i used a combo of spice and vino to line (blended of course), cuz i found mehr hard to wear alone on my skin....anyone else find that?

So, exactly how do you plan on using it? I may be curious enough to try it if it's something I can/will use.

I was looking through my stash today because Mehr looked so familiar to me, and I found it why - in the tube, it is almost identical to Benefit's Silky Finish Lipstick in Good-to-Go (maybe a shade darker and pinker). They look very different swatched and the the lips, though, because Mehr is much more pigmented and Matte, while GtG is quite sheer and buttery - almost a lip balm. If you're not feeling the matte pigmentation though and you like the rosey-brown colour, you can try that!
I was also comparing Petals & Peacocks with Gulabi, and really they're not even close. P&P is much more purple. Gulabi is also much more wearable for everyday, IMO.

I was wondering if anyone could do comparison swatches of Touch and Yash....Missed out on Yash but i was wondering if Touch was similar since I do have that Shade. TIA
