I also figured that if I finished up LE lippies, Mac will always bring out something very close or re-proomote it at some point again. I started to feel bad when i was running out of Elude but backed up another 2 so I could go nuts with it in winter.
Even get to the point that I touch my lipstick up 2-3 times a day so its bright and fresh, rather than saving it for special occasions too. I use my Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot at least 1-2 days a week for work before I got Moxie and CYY. Now I just mix them around and probably use them each about 1 day a week and Heroine or Violetta the other

Naynadine, I clicked on the Apres Chic link that you posted and found the color story for Strength also.
I am woman: fearless, elegant, strong. We love women who strike powerful poses, stand out, redefine the notion of beauty – and do it with an inner/outer strength that`s irresistibleand impossible to ignore. Colour is a vehicle for women to flex their femininity and MAC`s new collection reflects this state of mind and style. It starts with dramatic eyes defined by two Eye Shadow Quads that sculpt and highlight, precision Penultimate Eye Liner and extra-volumizing Opulash. Lips pump up with vivid colour to project power while Powder Blush in natural tones softly chisels cheeks. And, nailing it for overall presentation, MAC`s high-gloss Nail Lacquer.

Thanks a lot for posting! There was so much info I was overwhelmed I didn't even see this, LOL!
The lippies sound AAH-mazing, but thankfully I'm not into wearing those kinda colors myself. Money saved. Unfortunately I'm now also liking the All Woman quad, and the cool brown n/p sounds good too.

LOLIf I have to fight her to get the blushes, I'm passing. She would kick my a$$.
I don't think anyone would stand a chance against her. Your only hope would be to make her run and trip over her dress

Thank you very much Rezel and Naynadine!!! I actually love the image for the collection- I think it goes perfectly with the theme and it goes back to Mac's embrace of offbeat or eccentric beauty- something I felt they did in the past, but not as much recently.
Based on descriptions, I'm interested in all the lipsticks (although I really don't need another red, so it's possible I skip that one) and the All Woman quad. The Inner Strangth quad sounds like my kind of colours, but I have a lot of shades like that and I've never been happy with the colour payoff of Heather Belles, which I have from when it was first released.
Am I the only one wondering how a lipstick with "gold pearlized pigments" can be matte? I realise it may not have a sheen, but mattes aren't supposed to have a frost, either. Regardless, I want the colour and I'm not going to quibble. I'm willing to bet all the lipsticks from the collection sell out in a hurry.

Nooo, I just realized this is a MAC exclusive 
After the recent drama with the german MAC site, I can see this being a disaster as well. I probably will have to get a CP for at least the blushes. If I have to rely on the MAC site I will end up getting a heart attack one day.

But you are right...it is a bit strange!
