I cannot wait to haul some more items from this collection when it launches online on the 23rd. Even though I thought it would launch online tomorrow but even though waiting is what I don't mind.

The bag seems just right for quick 3-4 day trips like the one I just concluded. I have one on pre-order from my local MAC store. I was told that they only have 6. If possible, call your local store and do the same. Good luck!!!

Same here. I wish it would just be released online already so I can place my order and be done with it before my list gets any longer!

I'm working my way through 289 new posts since yesterday but I wanted to respond in case I forgot what I wanted to say after I read the 289th post.
I didn't know it came with a brush too. I think this would make a really good gift for someone.Here is the MAC exclusive kit they listed under the heading Divine Desire. The color is Quite Coral. The outside quilting is pretty nice, and it feels sturdy. I don't know that I'd carry it around as a clutch though, seems like it would get dirty easily. The other set in Paramour Pink was pretty as well, but I thought the blush and lipstick looked like things I already had.
Exterior and the box it came in.
When you first open it there is a satin pocket in the top half (the brush is in here) and a plastic divider.
When you lift up the divider there is an insert with the product in the bottom half.
The set includes a 129SE brush, blush in Born To Love (frost), lipstick in In A Heartbeat (cremesheen), lipglass in Pure Flattery, and Technakohl liner in Photogravure.
Close-up of the blush. Note this is smaller than a regular blush.
Swatches from top to bottom: blush, liner, lipglass, lipstick (I am NC25).

Ok, I can breathe, my Nordies SA preordered my stuff and is putting it aside now. I asked him what he felt about Tall Dark and Handsome, he liked Dark Dare more. Like you all said he said it is more of a charcoal grey, like Typrographic. I'm skipping it... (HEY I have to skip something!) He also convinced me to get A Natural flirt. He said it is like a light pink with some blue in it... those who have swatched it have you noticed that? He LOVES Blue Orbit with Saddle or Embark in the crease.

Glamour Daze EDES swatches.
Top Row: A Natural Flirt - Stolen Moment - Tall, Dark & Handsome - Evening Grey
Bottom Row: Divine Blue - Stylishly Merry - Ready To Party
Divine Blue - Stylishly Merry - Ready To Party - A Natural Flirt - Stolen Moment - Tall, Dark & Handsome - Evening Grey
I didn't use a primer for the swatches. I also used the 215 brush that I purchased specifically for EDES and L'Oreal Infallible shadows. I was not about to ruin them by swatching with my fingers. I like A Natural Flirt a lot better now after swatching with my brush. The peachy sheen is very pretty. I think the tester last night may have been ruined at the event. I'm now thinking about going back for Round Midnight because the tester could've been bad. Tall, Dark & Handsome doesn't have any extra sparkles that I see and it looks more like a charcoal gray than black. I still like it though. I've definitely joined Team Taupe after swatching Stolen Moment.

thanks ladies. i think based on your info, medium should be the best one for my sister in law....i don't think i'm going to be able to go pre-order till the weekend in all likelihood. i hope the kits aren't also in low stock?!I was researching the blot powder and it seems that around NC20-25 was good for Medium. I've read that it's sheer and doesn't give off too much color. I'm after the medium set too lol but for myself.
i'd love to get one the vanity box kits for myself, but not sure which one. i wish i didn't have that rule of not buying kits/quads with duplicates of shades i already have! i like the dark touch up kit, but i already have a blot powder in dark and i think i may never finish it. i also like the kit with the golden bronzer in it, but i already have a shadowy lady! grrr....that leaves only the kits with the mini blushes....
