Tx PixieDancer! Wish I was a "PRO" so I could order the lip palette. I hope it comes up on the regular site for the rest of us.

Yes, this was supposed to come out as well. I'm glad to hear it finally arrived on Pro!

It looks awesome! Don't think I can wait on this one. May go back for a second order later tonight! Have you seen it in person yet?

Yup, but that's a while ago. Personally, I'm not too keen on lip palettes, but the colors are very nice and scream "Spring."
Is that the one with pinks, purples and oranges we've already seen a couple of pics of? I REALLY want that one, wonder when this will be released here.
Will this be a Pro only product?

I'm all about travel convenience... So if the colors are good, it'll be a buy for me! Do you know what the finishes are? Are they all glossy?

Cloudy Afternoon MES is described as cream with gold, grey, and pink veining, which is pretty accurate, though the pink is more on the lavender side. It reminded me of a warmer version of Hold that Pose, depending on how much gold veining you pick (or get!).
CA is on the sheerer side - again, this is similar to HTP - which makes it harder to swatch and photograph, but it is a very wearable shade. When I say sheerer, I mean that it is still opaque, but the color is not as vibrant as Summer Haze or Twilight Falls. It is a very smooth MES, despite the gold veining - and it is very easy to apply as it is so blendable.
If you like beige-taupes and golds paired with another color - in this case a lavender-pink - you will most likely be fond of CA. As it has a slightly warmer base with a cooler undertone, CA will work equally well on NC and NW complexion. IMO, it is a perfect Spring color as it combines cool and warm undertones.
What I like most about it is how well it blends with Summer Haze MES as SH emphasizes the gold giving a nice ombre effect on the lid.
There was a variety of veining available - I'm talking about those nicely defined veins - which should make it easy to pick one that you like the most. I grabbed one with more gold as I like how it counteracts with the pink-lavender veining. Simply awesome.
Cloudy Afternoon MES on top. I'm sure there will be better swatches. I blended the edges with Summer Haze to see how those two shades work together, so these two shades are a bit mixed together

Sorry, I can't remember it as it is quite a while ago (September). I swatched Preferred Pink, which was a very nude-pinkey shade that looked absolutely lovely on my lips. A true MLBP product.

The 286 is under the eye brush section. I will try to post a review soon. It is a lovely brush for creating a contemporary MES look.

It's funny you should mention that, because since I'd heard the release date for the collection, I have had that funny feeling it will come out next week instead of the following week. To have it release after New Years makes no sense. C'mon...you can't tell me MAC doesn't want to be able to cash in on the Boxing Day shoppers that will be cruising malls like crazy next week. They are trying to move product, after all!
In any case, I am super jealous of all you Pro members who can shop the collection now! I wish I had a Pro Store near me that I could call and order with. Oh well...I shall patiently stalk the MAC Canada website!

Is this mac pro only? can you take a screen shot of it possibly or did we already see this lip palette?

It looks really pretty in the pan, I can imagine that it looks great applied.

I checked there and didn't see it, but I'll look again. Maybe it wasn't up yet when I looked the first time. Thanks doll!
