I've made some changes to my list because of the swatches. I took off all of the lipsticks except for the coral one.
I think I can skip the lippies and focus on the eye products too. I will want the bags, but I am bummed they are red rather than pink. I am excited about brush sets. Yes, the quality isn't as good, but they match and they are short handled, better for klutzy girls like moi.Looks like I don't need any of the lipsticks. Awesome! I need another lipstick like I need a hole in the head. I'm not a big fan of fluidlines, but I am interested in the pink one. I'd like to use it as a base or a color on the lid all on it's own. I'm on an endless search for pinks to wear on the lid that don't turn a shade of gold on my skin. Skipping the glosses, too. I want to see the blushes. I'm happy that this will be a small haul because I fully intend on buying both lip bags in the second part of this collection.
I want to feel those brushes. If they're decent enough, not scratchy against my skin then I'll get a set. I think they'll come in handy. I'm on a brush rampage right now. It's really kinda ridiculous, but I don't think you can ever have too many brushes.I hope you are right and it is more taupe than silver. Not sure what I will do with the pink one, but the black with silver glitter is I love the quotes. It was a pretty twisted movie. I think I can skip the lippies and focus on the eye products too.

I just realized I typed 'de' instead of 'the'.. sometimes I throw in some Dutch words by accident lol. Oh well, you got my point. I don't like them so far but if the 'taupe' is really taupe I'd be sooo happyI hope you are right and it is more taupe than silver. Not sure what I will do with the pink one, but the black with silver glitter isDe 'taupe' fluidline does not look taupe to me, more silver. I really hope it's the lighting, if so.. it's back on my list! I need all the taupes in the world.
the pic reminds me of berry haute by revlon...but it might just be because it's a photo....purples never look the same as irl...That purple-y lippie reminds me of Asian Flower (which I happen to have). Thanks for the pic!
We didn't hear anything about a VG Nicki bag but I hope they do as I've been debating to BU the l/s or to try the gloss. I literally have not been more excited for a collection in a while this all just seems too good!I bet the red is the Viva Glam one like last year.
I often use my 130 to apply Nico because I also like a light touch.Most of my brushes were from a variety of companies, and mostly natural hair. They worked great with the loose and pressed powder face and eye products i had. But i wasn't happy with how they were working with the Superb ED i got. Even my beloved MAC 188 (smaller than the 187) - which works absolutely fabulously with MAC and NARS pressed powder blushes and MAC Mineralize SFs and blushes - just wasn't doing the trick with Superb. I couldn't seem to get smooth, even coverage - i didn't want a lot of coverage, but what i was getting was a bit spotty.
So i caved and got MAC 130 - short duo fibre brush. It has slightly shorter, more densely packed hairs than the 188 (and the 187). I have found that it works better with Superb. And i use it with the Casual Colour Cremes, too - buffs them out so nicely. I keep it scrupulously clean between uses, of course, 'cuz any creme in the ED and it'll have a ruined spot for sure!
Does anyone else find that Ready to Party looks similar to Young Venus? And that A Natural Flirt might be close to sweet heat??
Albatross and Whisper of Gilt are different from one another so I say get it (if you can)! I have both and Albatross is lighter and comes off more white gold while Whisper of Gilt comes off more gold/champagme.thanks so much for the link!!! Everything looks so lovely, but i need to get things I know that i will use.
Now my list is:
Outrageously Fun OR Dramatic Encounter lipsticks (i just need one lol)
MAYBE:
Tall Dark Handsome
Whisper of Gilt (Im in love with my nars albatross so idk if i really need this)
Feminine Edge (Im hoping its not as glittery in the pic and hope its just the flash that makes it look extra glittery. If not I can just cross this out lol)
I agree - they are nothing alike. Different colours, different finishes...WoG was way too metallic for me (even buffed), but Albatross is fine.Albatross and Whisper of Gilt are different from one another so I say get it (if you can)!

you just sold me on whisper of gilt lol it sounds beautifulAlbatross and Whisper of Gilt are different from one another so I say get it (if you can)! I have both and Albatross is lighter and comes off more white gold while Whisper of Gilt comes off more gold/champagme.
OMG. *faint* Thank you so much for the link, RayannaBanana!Found some swatches! I think I'll be skipping the fluidlines since they look very glittery. Now we just need swatches of the blushes and ED shadows!

The l/s is Lickable, which I think is permanent.Bright Pink Lip Bag (pending details on the lipstick finish) - me too. Do we have any details about it yet?
