I'm on THAT bandwagon!! I love the SP collection, and will end up hauling more than I should - the colors/textures are just awesome! My MUA puts everything aside for me to go through and decide what I want....this time I told her it would be easier to tell her what I DON'T want.......

QueenofSnark - LOVE the new avatar!! So cute!
lol!! luckily Janice is sending me some of the samples from the collection so that cuts my spends down massively. all i am techically buying for myself is the kabuki, coral blush and the pink mes :)

^^ They make great Christmas presents, especially when wrapped in the cc logo paper and the ribbons!

I am just trying to avoid the SP thread. I know that I would get sucked into the hype (for the blushes & lip products) if I were to spend a lot of time looking at the SP thread. The swatches that I have seen, however, for the SP eyeshadows haven't impressed me at all.
^This is exactly what I'm thinking I should do but everytime I go on to the Semi Precious forum I get persuaded otherwise!

Lucky you! At first I knew I only wanted Geo Pink and Gem of Roses but after reviews and swatches I got sucked into the kabuki, Naturally Eccentric, Smoked Ruby, Golden Gaze and I'm considering two blushes *sigh* I don't know how anyone can have a Chanel and MAC obsession - its too expensive!!

^^ I'm with you there - there are several things from SP that I want - one or two of the e/s, one of the blushes, the brushes, and a couple of the MSFs. And of course the lippies. It better be a 'quiet' fall....I may have to put my fingers in my ears!

I know this Holiday I will have my roof on but no tiles in that old house.. lol.

I am getting more excited for this collection! I just realized that Vanities is the one Chanel quad that I actually used up (both initial purchase & backup). I will be buying a couple of these again! Yeah!

^^ That's great, you definitely should buy another Vanities. I have never used up a chanel quad before.

^^^ I have only used up this one. I had forgotten all about this quad, since I purchased it so long ago.

I personally don't think so - Chanel's quads are very universally flattering. Mine, which I've had for awhile, has very warm tones. It looks nice on me - in fact, I used it quite a lot when I got it, but as is usually the case, something else comes along to grab my attention ;). If you can check out swatches it might give you a better idea. Usually Karlasugar as some, and there are probably some in the Spektra swatch thread.

Did anyone happen to save the promo pics for the holiday collection? They're pulled from Karla's site, and even the cached pages aren't working anymore. I wanted to see what was in the sets again. <_<

Perhaps Lou can use them to put together the color story for our 'sticky board' (if you can read them)? That would be fabulous!!

Here are Karla's images -










And here's the link where I found them - in case it's easier to read:
