YAY and YAY! Can't wait for these. Pink-lavender is my favorite. I will also check out the pigments.

Ooh finally some info, thanks lyseD!

I can't wait to see Seasoned Plum and Narcissus, and hopefully Aurora lasts better on the eye (I always do the rub-my-hand-and-see-how-well-it-lasts test too :) )

I got to swatch some of the collection at my counter today.

Warp speed looks like a sheer gloss. It really didn't show up much on my skin.
Seasoned plum is a lot more purple than I expected.
Approaching storm is almost burgunday in my opinion, leaning toward brown on me.
Red Dwarf is so, so beautiful, a pinky-red.
Narcissus gloss is a pretty pink-lavender.
Japanese Spring is a nice light pink.
Aurora pigment is very light, after rubbing a little on my hand I could barely see it.
The blushes I didn't swatch but they are so gorgeous in the pans.
The quad looks like a lot of colours I already have but is very nice and I think you could get a lot of use from it.

Overall it is a really nice collection. Unfortunately my SA said they weren't pre-selling so I will have to go there on the 26th.

Indeed, it is a very light taupe that is wonderful for a nude eye. Love it!

Ooh, swatches! Thank you! I'm not sure about the quad. It looks a bit dark and maybe not incredibly unique...but on the other hand it looks like it would make for a killer smoky eye! I think it will depend on the quality of the shadows more than the colours when it comes down to it. I'm still thinking I'll get all the pigments, both ombres, Red Dwarf and *maybe* one of the glosses.

I'm glad that I do not buy l/s or l/g on a regular basis as the upcoming collections look really expensive for those who are lippie addicts.

Happy hauling and/or making shopping lists.

I'm glad to hear you're liking Aurora, I'm really looking forward to it and Nebula (their names are just too cute, it's been said before but I'm loving the space theme and all the purple!)

I'm just damn glad that I have the blushes already, so I won't have to worry about those... Bring on the pinks and purples!!!

As far as the quad, it kind of looks like Palace Pedigreed and, in certain shades, like the Spring Colour Forecast 3 quad. So, since I have both of those, I kind of think I could pass. On the other hand, I use those sorts of shades all the time (I've done looks with both those quads in the last week) and they aren't well represented in permanent lines- Mac's or anyone else's. So then I think I should grab it... I'll wait for swatches/ to see it in person, since I think the quality of the individual shadows will be the deciding factor for me.

AHHHH! I'm a lippie addict and I really want approaching storm (and pretty much all the rest -_-") I really have to narrow down my current list!

So far my list is pretty reasonable:

Interior Life Quad
Aurora pigment (was on and off my list, but Mac-Guy approval has it back on! LOVE a pretty nude eye.)
Circa Plum pigment
Azelea Blosson Blush
Red Dwarf
Narcissus

Swatches and reviews always change things, so we'll see....

I think im sold on the azalea blossom from this collection and that may be my only haul. Saving for house number 2 with the husband has become the main priority for 2012.

Me too! Plus I want almost all the lipsticks from Iris Apfel... cutting down my list is going to be painful
