It is going to look so pretty layered over WMS, Party Parrot and/or VGN.

after all these new swatches my list went back up again ha. I guess I can't be too sure till I see them on me.
it's great that MAC lets you return things that you used but I'll feel bad : / I deff know for sure I won't be
getting Pink Popcorn lipstick it's too sheer for me to be spending 14.50 on.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, ESR is more of a pinky lavender shade while Cinestyle is a blue based lavender.

GlamQueen , Cinestyle is definitely blue based lavender. I wore Fresh Amour with Japenese Spring today for my lavender fix today and stopped by Nordstrom to visit my friend who is makeup artist at Mac and we were comparing. Cinestyle to Fresh Amour it was definitely blue , I can't find my Quite Cute so I hope Cinestyle will fill the void. I'm going to order D' Lilac from another company to fill my lavender blues plus I ordered the new YSL gloss during the VIB event.

Temptalia says her new Lightscapade has a lot less veining than the one from last year (actually it looks exactly like the one I got last year, hers was very orange), so I'm guessing it's Beigescapades all around again. 
I think I'll only get Heroine l/s from this collection in the end.

Her Lightscapade looks like (most of) the Lightscapades we got here in Germany last year!
It seems that you had the same "Beigescapades" in the UK...

I think I will just be getting glosses from this collection and maybe pp and heroine lipstick. My purple eyeshadow fix will come from extra dimension. Does anyone have comparision swatches of pp and playtime and also heroine, violetta and approaching storm As for lightscapade- don't give up hope on blue veining. I had to look through alot of lightscapades until I found one with blue veining and then even more blue showed up when I started using it

Got my lipsticks!
Reel Sexy is like neon creamscicle color- LOVE IT. Been waiting for a color like that for years. Goes with some of the neon clothing I have perfectly
but still works if the clothing is not neon.
Heroine is like Violetta but darker. Looks red in the tube but on me, it brings out the blue beautifully and does not stay red- I AM HAPPY with that.
Goes well with neon purple clothes. Same family as Violetta but a touch bluer and darker. The matte finish is wonderful just like Iris Apfel collection lippies were.
Pink Popcorn- Forget it. Going back. The quality is poor, the color is weak, and it shows every crease in the lips. Budding Love is MUCH nicer
and I was not even sure I was going to keep that one.

Pink popcorn is nothing like playtime. It is a weak boring pink that is so sheer it is not worth the effort, imo.
Someone had swatches comparing them on the Extra Dimension discussion- or earlier in this thread, can't recall. Heroine looks wine red purple in the tube, but on me (NW25 pigmented lips) it comes out the most perfect purple blue- darker than Violetta, but just as magical. Has enough fuchsia in it to be wearable, because I can not wear straight blue purples. Makes me look dead.
When I put Heroine on last night, my whole family gasped and said I had to have that color!
I don't have approaching storm, so I can not compare with that.
Hope that helps a little.

My Overview on Magenta Blush will come later on tonight because I want to test her claims. She uses a 116 for blush, but I use a 168. I also want to take pictures of me wearing the blush so you all can see what it looks like on tan/darker complexions.

Cool, do you like it? I think Magenta is one of the gems of this collection.
