I think you could easily pull off Outre. It's certainly a unique enough color and it will complement NC complexion in a nice Fall-ish fashion.

Lol as soon as I saw Christines swatches I went straight on to Karens site hoping for swatches of different products!

The swatches are amazing. I'm sticking with my original & first list of getting the five lipsticks: Prince Noir, Smoked Purple, Runaway Red, Offshoot & Oh Oh Oh. The Lady Grey eyeshadow quad is very very tempting. I may give in, but I'm not 100% sure yet. Waiting for more swatches and I want to see the other quad as well to compare.

Hazy Day in the Lady Grey quad is looking fierce!
I also love All Races, but I'm not feeling the other two colours seeing the first swatch. I hope they turn out something I love in person so I can have a "good" reason to buy the quad. Otherwise it's going to be a long discussion with the fellow on my shoulder.
Avenue is kinda weird is it? But Runaway Red l/s and Street Cool s/s come to me!

Thank you so much for the links, rockin and Alisha1! We finally have some swatches! Yay!
I cannot wait for Christine's full review. I like Moleskin e/s. Hope to see Stunner blush, Seaside CCB, and Creamy BIsque e/s soon!

I hope we get better swatches of the quad from Temptalia for the final review. I'm kinda interested in 3 of the 4 colors in it, but I need an even better look. I like the look of Outre shadow. It looks like the one I decided to pass on in the Cinematics collection(If I see one more damn teal, Mac :getyou
. Glad to say I don't want any of the lipsticks or the glosses, really. I will buy Cakeshop again and I have scratched off Street Cool shadestick. It's not the kind of color I like to wear often. Also, that black fluidline that's supposed to have gold or whatever is flatter than hell. Looks like basic black to me(which is what I expected) so, that's out. Super small haul for me regardless.

Christine has started to have closeups of shadow swatches in her reviews, so I don't think you need to worry.I hope we get better swatches of the quad from Temptalia for the final review.

Wow Lady Grey looks so much better than I expected and I so want all of the shadesticks now if they're creamy... But Mystical looks like a mix of Vainglorious & Coppering which I prob don't need now so that's off and I really can't tell what color Avenue is, I mean I know it's black but I thought there would be more gold in it, it almost looked like a slight green sheen on my monitor
Oh, Oh, Oh looks exactly like Funbathing from last summer to me, Secret Lover is mostly glitter, and Runaway Red looks just like any other of the numerous reds I have so for once in my MAC life I think I'm adding more eye products than lip ones.
E/S- Creamy Bisque is out b/c I don't need another ivory; Moleskin doesn't look unique, Outre looks like a much browner Sun Blonde & it's a maybe
Do the blue & green fluidlines look like Siahi & Ivy?
And I'm not sure how to use ccbs, I have a golden copper one that I use on my eyes as a cream base but it's not great so I guess those are out and I really don't need another coral-pink blush
New List:
~ Offshoot lipstick if it's close to my lip color
~ Rebel lipstick if it's not close to Gulabi or my other fuchsias
~ Prince Noir or Smoked Purple lipstick- prob SP but I need another dk purple/berry like I need a hole in the head
~ Curvaceous lipglass looks kinda good for such a milky color
~ Spite lipglass
~ Both lip pencils
~ Lady Grey quad
~ Satin Taupe e/s
~ Teddy eye kohl
~ All shadesticks- they look really metallic-ly cool
~ All 4 nail polishes
~ Equilibilium blush
More swatches list:
~ Someone just tell me Peachstock's going to look bad on my very warm NC30 skin
~ Runaway Red vs Heartless
~ Plum Fun lipglass
~ Evil Eye quad- I have Palace Pedigreed but I wanna see what the blackened e/s look like
~ I really need to see someone do a look with Outre e/s
~ Carbonized e/s

Dude, is outre eyeshadow the same as the brown eyeshadow from double feature 4 (coulourizations collection)? I hope so because that was the only eyeshadow i was interested in from that duo.

If it isn't exactly the same, it looks so close that it makes no difference.
Lady Grey certainly looks much richer in pigment than the initial photos let on. So I'm definitely leaning towards that.
Is it just me, or does OhOhOh (am I the only one who thinks of Santa Claus?) look a lot like a more muted version of ... O? O is one of my favourite lipsticks ever, so I'm not objecting, but this one does look like it's in the same range. And Social Light looks exactly like one of the glosses from Fabulous Felines last year.
Runaway Red is the exact bright blue-red I wanted it to be. I swear I have more reds than anyone needs, but this one is definitely coming home...
Avenue is meh compared to what I was hoping. Black + gold shimmer = muddy brown.

Yay...I am relieved that I am not loving everything as much as I thought I would. My list shrank!
No lippies at all...
Only Cakeshop
Maybe the other blush and Mythical ES
and for sure the 226!!!
Outre looks like the baby poo brown from #4. I thought I wanted it until I swatched it and it looked terrible on me.

I think I may be taking all of the shadesticks off of my list...I'm not sure. I would have to swatch....I need to see all of this stuff in person first, I hope my store will be doing presale...I guess I stop by tomorrow on my lunch break and ask.

I'm loving all the colors in the Lady Grey quad, except for All Races.
Temptalia's swatches make the quad look super gorgeous.
I just hope the application is as good as the swatches. Initially, I thought the eyeshadows were going to be more sheer and cool-toned, but I will have to wait for Temptalia's review before making my final decision. =)

Dark Envy- It's what I wanted the dark green Big Bounce Shadow to be so thats a yes for me! Wait...can you use fluidlines as a base or it strickly for lining?

Cakeshop s/s
Lady Grey Quad- I'm so glad it looks pigmented! I'm loving the colors! I was scared bout this before but looks good so far YAY
I cant wait to ,see Stunner blush. Heirloom or Street Cool s/s's- But they look completely different in Musings and Temp's swatches so I dunno
Like Shontay the lipsticks or glosses dont interest me
So far not bad, but the other swatches havent come out yet LOL

Are there any swatches of the dark quad? Can't wait for it. I'm not sure it I really need it to get.
