i just saw Christine's swatch on the Pro Longwear Lipcreme from the Daphane Guinness collection! Now I've got 2 more items I wanna buy...Red Dwarf &Approaching Storm.

That is until she swatch Seasoned Plum. I am very curious about the colour.

That was my first choice, but VG looks so different! But AB is so "me!" Which means, I'll probably end up with both!
We are in BIG TROUBLE girl!! HaHaHa

Yay swatches!!!
Lipgloss: Ohmigosh Narcissus is gorg! It does remind me of a gloss version of Playtime and a more opaque RIS, which means its a must. I didnt know PT got so much love, its my fav lippy too! I even wore it for my wedding. Based off description, Borealis sounds good too.

Lipcremes: Seasonal Plum sounds really pretty, even though we havent seen swatches the discriptions alone make me want it. Red Dwarf is very pretty but I'm trying to limit myself, so maybe I'll get it later.

Piggies: Circa Plum is def a must as well, I've been waiting for it to be repromoted! I'll also be getting Aurora, its such a pretty soft/nude color.

Blushes: I'll def be getting Azalea Blossom! I have Sakura, but dont want to miss out on this again. Vintage Grape is just too intense for my liking.

Man, I hope not too many people base thier decision about the quad off of T's F rating only. I dont think the quad deserved an F, seems a lil harsh. Not everyone wants a ultra dark smokey eye. This quad looks great for an understated soft smokey eye. But again with all the awesome collections coming out I need to limit myself. So hopefully it stays around for a while.
I'm excited to see Hyperion and Endless Night n/l's

After seeing Temptalia's swatches, I'm def getting both blush ombres and Narcissus l/g. I'm sooo glad nothing else really speaks to me. Red Dwarf looks gorgeous but I've seriously got a problem with buying that same type of shade over and over again! I'm perfectly fine hauling those three items and saving moola for the following week when Iris launches!

I will definitely be purchasing Narcissus. It looks so pretty in the swatch. Hopefully it'll look good on my skintone.

I think I might end up skipping this whole collection. I might swatch the quad in store... but it doesn't look that promising to me. I'm more excited for a few future collections. Since I spent uhhhh WAY TOO much money on G&I I don't think I'll really *miss* anything if I skip this one.

With that said, it's so much easier to ignore collections when I ignore specktra! hehe! I get on here and then I think everything is gorgeous :p
^I agree! Which is why I try to avoid MAC forums!

Lol I still want both blushes though! And maybe Aurora pigment...

From this collection, I may just get Red Dwarf. I might also get a blush ombre but I don't know which one and Chanel etc has released some lovely stuff for Spring. Theres also the Iris collection and the Naturally...

Must. Have. Pigments. Lol.

I love the look of all three. I'm just wondering if Nebula will be a tad too dark for me. Though, I have always found a way to make ANY color work thus far.

The rest of my money will go to Naturally. I'm still looking fr the PERFECT nude lippie and I just haven't found it. Blankety and Honeylove come close, but just not quite right.

Mac-Guy, I want to know what is on YOUR list, because you always seem to know what the best stuff is.
Thanks for the compliment, hun. I only know what's best for NW10 - 20, lol.
I'll get Interior Life, Nebula, and Aurora.

I love the quality of the quad as well as the color palette. Will post a review when I have more time.

I already have VG and AB, though depending on what ombre/grading I see in the store, I might get a BU. The blue side of one of my AB's is ginormous. :)

Altogether, it's a pretty small haul, huh?!

Thanks for the swatches Sappheiros! Now I'm even more confused. I was going to skip. Now that quad is calling my name. Such beautiful colors and the colors seem to swatch great. Definitely not deserving of an "F" grade. I am still interested in Seasoned Plum.

The quad is simply stunning. Sophisticated and elegant, a perfect mix of colors that look very coordinated.

I will have to swatch the quad in the store. The colors seem like I have them in my Burmese Beauty quad, and I was expecting more oomph. I feel like I have this or have seen this quad before.

I will get Narcissus, and a blush ombre. Seasoned Plum reminds me of Platime. Red Dwarf and Approaching the Storm are passes.


Hopefully, I'll keep this one with just two or three things. (trying to buy a car).
