Don't worry, most people are. Myself included.

Ditto! Also, I love Paint Pots. Dangerous Cuvee & Let's Skate are repromotes. I start with a very conservative list and then end up with way more then I'd intended. At least I make an effort !

This is my realistic list. the lipsticks are a maybe it depends on how light they are. The mineralize lip balms I love but if they are too light I don't need them all. The pearlmatte is a maybe. This might not be so bad for me
... time for a new thread!

Probablly colors like Mulch, Carbonized and etc... i think it would look good on it's own as well.

I bet layering gold, oranges and sheer colors like flicker would be pretty too.

Perhaps lavender whip and devil's food for me, and maybe a pearl Matte. Not so bad! Devil's food is a frost, I don't own any lipsticks in that finish , are they any generally "good"?

I really can't wait for the promo pics and swatches to come out for this collection! I'm especially curious to see the pearlmattes. They sound soooo pretty! If I'm mesmerized by them, I might have to buy one or both, even though I've never tried a pearlmatte in my life, lol.

It is very hard - almost impossible - to capture a swatch of a pearlmatte in a photograph. While you can do a heavier swatch with your fingers, it does not reflect at all how it is supposed to be applied nor does it capture how it will come out on skin. It's really a product that one needs to test in store (with a brush!).

Which brushes work best with Pearlmattes in your experience? Would a regular powder brush do or do they need something more specialised?

You want a firm brush as the pearlmattes are extremely hard pressed. For highlighting, I'd use the 169 (the 168 is way too soft, which results in zero color pay off). Alternatively, the 128 might work, but as it is not angled, it's not ideal (though it is certainly firm enough). For an all-over application, I'd use the 183. Although the hair is soft, it works well as it is flat and short, which allows (a) the brush to pick up enough product and (b) deposit the pigment on your skin rather than being stuck on the bristles.

I may just buy both of these beauties. I've never tried a Pearlmatte before, but these two may just be my first. I look forward to pictures and reviews.
