Allllll right! I got my Marilyn goodies last night and just now got a chance to upload some pics and swatches!
The goods:
Aaand the lipsticks!!!
Here's some comparisons
Left to Right: CoverGirl Tempt - Rimmel Kate Moss 06 - Revlon Cherry Blossom (Shanghai collection - LE) - Full Fuchsia - Moxie - Love Goddess - Fusion Pink - Lustering........Then we have Scarlet Ibis - Sail La Vie - Revlon Red Lacquer (Shanghai collection - LE).

So the closest dupe for Love Goddess would be Full Fuchsia. FF is a smidge more pink and has a different shine being that it's amplified. Love Goddess has just a touch of red but otherwise, they're similar enough where if you absolutely love Love Goddess for its color, Full Fuchsia is permanent at PRO stores, so snatch it up! (Thanks and shout out to Purplerinne for CPing at her PRO store for me, and getting me Full Fuchsia!)
Moxie is bolder and definitely more watermelony than Love Goddess.
That being said, I love Love Goddess and since I've been wearing Full Fuchsia so much, I'm glad to add LG into the mix!
Scarlet Ibis swatches included just because. I didn't purchase a Marilyn version, but I just got the two Revlon Shanghai collection lipsticks and thought I would include those in as a comparison. I think Cherry Blossom would also be a great drugstore dupe for LG. It's a little sheer, but you definitely get the pink aspect of it.
Runaway Red (old) - Rimmel Kate Moss 10 - Ruffian Red - Charmed, I'm Sure - Russian Red - Red Racer ............ Rimmel Kate Moss 11 - Rimmel Kate Moss 09 - Rimmel Kate Moss 01 - Deeply Adored - Rocker - Dubonnet
Runaway Red (old) - Rimmel Kate Moss 10 - Ruffian Red - Charmed, I'm Sure - Russian Red - Red Racer ............ Rimmel Kate Moss 11 - Rimmel Kate Moss 09 - Rimmel Kate Moss 01 - Deeply Adored - Rocker - Dubonnet
I feel Rocker pulls more burgundy on me than Deeply Adored does. DA has more of a balance between the red and the purple, and it appears more complex and multi-dimensional of a shade.
Charmed, I'm Sure is definitely blue-toned and it seems a little more pink than Runaway Red. I still love my Ruffian Red and Red Racer for my "go-to" red shades, but Charmed, I'm Sure is a lovely addition nonetheless.

Yep I have a spreadsheet too with all the products I have...I couldn't believe I don't have anything like Love Goddess.Okay. Some may find this a tad weird or OCD, at best but, I catalog my products. I have a database of every product that I own. Why do this you ask? To keep myself from unintentionally buying more than one of a particular item. I also have them categorized by color so I can identify my stock at-a-glance. Anyway, for October I thought the hardest part would be coordinating pink lippies, eye shadow and nail polish with my wardrobe choices. I will wear a lot of monochromatic looks...all black, all beige or all winter white or all burgundy clothing with pink accents. For casual looks I have pink sweaters to wear with jeans etc. And then I thought, woman up and wear pink and orange if you want to and even burgundy with pinks. I guess the only limits are between my ears...the ones that I impose upon myself. Like you, I love pink and have no problem wearing all pink in varying shades and hues, which is probably what I'll end up doing. Actually it will be a challenge and even fun to see what combos I can come up with.

I would like to thank both CartoonChic (yet again) and Iiba for confirming what I was hoping for...that Deeply Adored was the matte version of Runaway Red. I have been hoping for a matte version of Runaway Red ever since I got it last year. The color is so pretty!
I also wanted to say that I don't remember the name of the poster, might have been Pinkdollface, but I wanted to thank them for pointing me in the direction of the new Mat YSL lipsticks from the fall 2012 collection. The link was posted in another thread and the poster had the red lipstick, I believe. Anyways, had I not seen that link and clicked on it, I would have never known about Grenat Satisfaction! I have been looking for a brownish red for the longest and that seems to be it! I have already swatched it and can't wait to go pick it up next week when I pick up DA. EEEEEE!!!!!

Went and pre-ordered my Marilyn lipsticks today 
I decided to keep it light & avoid buying too much so I decided on Deeply Adored and Charmed I'm Sure.
I tried on Pure Zen because my fav Mac MA was raving about it, and I liked it, but gosh the lighting in MAC makes me look strange.. I decided I'd skip Pure Zen and just go with the two reds and left.........
And then.................I turned around and went back once I noticed just how gosh darn gorgeous Pure Zen looked on my Starbucks coffee cup....haha! It had rubbed off on the cup and it was the prettiest pumpkin-spice light nude (if that makes any sense.)
So yup, I pre ordered Deeply Adored, Charmed I'm Sure, and Pure Zen. I know I could have gotten Pure Zen with just regular packaging but that's no fun.
I'm very pleased I hope everyone who missed out so far gets the perfect chance to still get ahold of what they want once thursday comes! And if not- remember that there are other colors you will surely fall in love with
I skipped out on Scarlet Ibis because I have Lady Danger and they were just too similar...which is saying something coming from me because I always will try to justify more lipstick. Love Goddess is nice, but I'm not a huge fan of satin finishes and the other two reds just spoke to me more....I'm sure you guys know the feeling

Tbh many times I've read your name and read it entirely different to what it is. No idea why. I've given up now because every time I think I've got it right, I've got it wrong. LolWhoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa LOL

Hahahaha, I didn't think about the mis-readings, too. I promise it's nothing dirty! My best friend growing up sang a song in her girl scout troop about a Duck Rodeo - I got the biggest kick out of it, imaging little ducks waddling around with saddles lol so it spawned the handle.

Do we have a verdict on the Forever Marilyn BP yet on super pale NC15ish girls like myself yet? I'm currently still on the fence and feel like I could be wasting my money and would rather know before I (hopefully) get the chance to order when the UK finally releases the damn collection online. <-- can you tell I'm running out of patience?
To be honest I'm still not understanding though what the hell I'd do with a BP. Can someone explain? It'd be my first and someone explained it elsewhere on the forum and I've lost it so can't find it to reference back. I feel like such a MAC newb all over again.

I don't know where exactly in the Bay Area you live, but I presaled with Macy's Union Square in San Francisco on Wednesday and they still had a good supply left. Also, Nordstrom Stonestown said they would hold an item if you called them on Oct 4th right when they open! Good luck

so i took a quick picture of what charmed I'm sure looks on me (the picture on the left)
the next two pictures (straight curiosity) are love goddess and moxie lol,, I put moxie on my top lip and L.G on the bottom lip. On the top corner pic, the diff between moxie and love goddess is more noticeable but on the bottom one they look a lot alike..
Either way I think they're worth getting
