I am all about getting a 226. I know I want the shadesticks too. As for the rest, I will have to swatch it and see how I like it.

Not really. P/p are cream-to-powder finish, whereas CCB stay emollient (which is the reason why they can easily crease on the lid). The advantage is that they don't dry out as fast as p/p. Are you planning on getting some CCB?

I've just decided to get the 226 and maybe a fluidline, I'm just not that interested anymore. I don't wear makeup that often to splurging on products that will expire soon will just be wasting my money.

it would be a waste if you didn't wear them! But the 226 brush will be a good investment :)

I'm kinda in the same boat. As it gets closer to release date I'm realizing there really isn't much in the upcoming collections I can't easily dupe with what I already have or what's perm at MAC and/or other brands. Being unemployed I'm mostly homebound anyway so I neither use my makeup as much as before nor want to use it in order to preserve its longevity (and thus not have to buy more any time soon).

At this point I'm just picking up a 226 and two of the VP shadows (Mythical and Carbonized).

i think my haul for this collection will be smallish too... but it needs to be due to lack of cash!

We should see swatches within the next few weeks. I haven't made up my mind completely, but I am not too crazy about this collection. Having said that, it might change the second I see swatches.

What's your list?

I will still buy quite a few things - probably more than I want - but I don't see myself going crazy with BU purchases. IMO, MMO is certainly the more exciting collection in comparison with CS, but that's probably due to the fact that half of CS are repromotes or perm items from the Pro collection. But swatches can change the game.

Looking forward to swatches and reviews! Comes out in less than 25 days...I'm hoping Christine gets sent samples early. <_<

I have more hopes in the MMO quads than the CS ones. I like Angel Flame but the colors already look so washed out that I'm suspicious about the pigmentation. Thus, I'm counting on highly pigmented quads from MMO. They look more rich in the promo pics...

I really like your list!!! Mine has been shortened from what I had originally wanted. I'm considering: Prince Noir, Runaway Red & Offshoot lipsticks. I've decided to not buy the quads, lipglasses pr blush. I really hope I don't like the swatches of these items also. Sometimes you just have to stay within your make-up budget.

Swatches of the two quads are really going to be what determines whether this is an expensive haul or not for me. If I get both, it becomes fairly pricey. If not, I'll be able to get pretty much all I want from the B2M stuff I have.

generlly i do pretty well - when the list f items and descriptions comes out i make a list of what i want. and the when the swatches come out it usually just backs up what i was getting anyway. it is rare when i add things to my list, and recently i have been taking things off my list more than anything!
