Strangely enough, I'm easy when it comes things with silver shimmer. I know I won't use them so they go off my list immediately!

I wish it was as easy for me with silver shimmer. I'm NC15, but have neutral undertones (the yellow cancels out some natural redness and then my face matches my body). Having neutral undertones I like both silver and gold shimmer

Great pics!!! Thanks a lot. My list remains the same Has anyone preordered yet? Are stores/counters taking the orders yet?I went to a MAC S/S VIP presentation today and I saw Archie's. All of the testers were in a glass box and they didn't allow people to test them!!! Of course, I wasn't happy at all!!! Anyway, I just took some photos. Girl Next Door looked like less intense version of Saint Germain cuz it's luster finish and I think it had tiny shimmer (almost iridescent sheen) when I took a closer look, but I wasn't sure cuz I couldn't test it! Betty Bright looked similar to somewhat between Nicki l/s and Reel sexy l/s (It's peachy-coral with a hint of white, I think) in the tube and it's totally diffrent from Force of Love or Watch me shimmer. Daddy's little girl reminded me of Outrageously Fun, but I think DLG is more intense cuz it's satin finish. Oh and Veronica's blush had shimmer. I think it's silvery shimmer. and Betty's blush was little darker and oranger than I expected.

Thank you so much Aquamarine!!
To be honest I find Instagram photos to be kind of useless, simple tone-accurate color photos is where its at baby!
I can actually gage how the colors will actually play out on human skin tones and then adjust it to how it'd likely play on my skin, exactly what I've been waiting for.

I only had a chance to test Betty's pearlmatte cuz it's the only sample they allowed people to test. (It was on the presentation stage, not in the glass box.)
It had shimmer, but it's not glitter. Find shimmer with golden undertone.
The texture was really smooth and silky. It was way better than Vera's pearlmatte!!!
It was sheerer than I expected and it's like satiny-sheer finish. It didn't look chalky on my hand at least.
And it reminded me of lighter, sheerer and peachy-coral version of Immortal Flower blush!
Hmm..I just thought it's similar to NARS Deep Throat blush, but less pink and sheerer.

Thank you, Aquamarine!!!! Lovely pictures. I had really whined down my list from like 7/8 items to only two. I only wanted DLG and BS lipsticks. I figured I'd skip the purple quad, the blushes and pearlmattes and the other lippies. Now, I'm confused again. Since I want from the April collections, maybe I should just stick with the two lippies. Maybe I'll add one more lippie and that will be the end of it. What should I do fellow Specktrettes?

omg I can't wait for the extra dimension collection :eyelove:Haven't seen this posted yet, if it was my baddd. Here you can pretty well see the Pearlmattes/Pigments/Betty quad/Betty's blush, which I expected to be a little brighter than how it looks here and in other pictures I've seen of it.
