True. Money saved.
All right guys. Just got back from swatching a little while ago. I only have pictures of the stuff everyone asked for, but I couldn't get a look at the pearlmattes (weren't available). I apologize for the crappiness of the photo quality, but this is as good as I could get it with an iPhone. Here are the colors from left to right starting with the dark color on the top left.
Top row: Feelin' So Good Lipglass, Strawberry Malt Lipglass, Mall Madness Lipglass, Prom Princess Blush, Stay Sweet Lipglass (pale pink), Summer Sweetheart Lipglass (light peach), Kiss and Don't Tell Lipglass (coral)
Bottom row: Boyfriend Stealer Lipstick, Ronnie Red Lipstick, Daddy's Little Girl Lipstick, Cream Soda Blush, Oh Oh Oh Lipstick, Betty Bright Lipstick, Girl Next Door Lipstick
I loved every single one of these products. Here are my impressions and comparisons:
Lipglasses
Feelin' So Good: Beautiful blackened plum with burgundy microshimmer. It's like a gloss version of OPI Midnight in Moscow Nail Polish, and it totally surprised me with the shimmer.
Strawberry Malt: Bright juicy red inbetween a maraschino cherry and tomato red. Scratch that, it is rather maraschino cherry in terms of tone, but it's not as blue based as the red gloss that came out with Hey Sailor! last year. It's brighter and seems more opaque despite its juicy quality. Would be gorgeous on top of Ronnie Red.
Mall Madness: Muted fuschia with purple, blue, and maybe even some gold microshimmer if I remember right. I love these types of colors and have been waiting for a better replacement of Urban Decay's Pocket Rocket in Doug since those lipglosses are weak in the pigmentation department.
Stay Sweet: I don't usually like light pinks like this, but this would most likely layer well and mix with multiple pink and purple lipsticks well. Nothing special, but I liked it.
Summer Sweetheart: Yellower peach than what you normally see with these light lipglosses. Same as Stay Sweet in terms of originality factor.
Kiss and Don't Tell: If you're going to get any of these glosses, GET THIS ONE if you LOVE LOVE LOVE coral. It's out of control. I loved this one the most right off the bat since it's got a nice mix of pink and orange. Beautiful!
Lipsticks
Boyfriend Stealer: Not the same as Dramatic Encounter (as you've already seen!). Sheerer, less red-based, and most likely very similar to Yung Rapunxel as everyone has said here!
Ronnie Red: Almost like a brighter version of Absolute Power from Strength. Nice matte finish and definitely leans cool on my skin. Really stand-out retro red without being too matte, though. Worth a look.
Daddy's Little Girl: Not the same as Outrageously Fun. More muted in color, less sheer, and not nearly as fuschia. Loved this one, especially since it has a satin finish and is more opaque because of it.
Oh Oh Oh: Really liked this. Not sure if it's quite as plum as the MAC Me Over version, though. Definitely has some brown tones in it.
Betty Bright: Love coral, so I'm biased about this one. If you have Reel Sexy and Watch Me Simmer, I'm not sure if you need this too if you're set with those two. However, I agree with the poster who said it's like a mix between Reel Sexy and Viva Glam Nicki. It's definitely got a little bit more pink in it.
Girl Next Door: Light pink, but has a nice twist with a hint of purple-pink microshimmer. Worth checking out if you like these colors. Good for lightening other lip colors.
Blushes
Prom Princess: Wonderful blush. Pretty smooth and has lovely pigmentation. Less patchy in comparison to the Taste Temptations blush and Magenta, and it swings more pink. Also has some delicate silver shimmer that doesn't swing too disco like NARS Angelika.
Cream Soda: Light but actually shows up on my skin. I was surprised that it didn't end up being ashy on me, so yay! It leaves a nice peachy hue, but it definitely will have to be paired well with a bronzer or another blush for it to look its best on me. Pretty sure you can skip if you're happy with Immortal Flower, Easy Manner, and/or Supercontinental. Need to see this in person and judge for yourself if you're NC40 or darker. Potentially need to do this even if you're lighter than NC40.
And that's it! Hope this helps y'all!
Kiss and Don't Tell is the best direct match for Betty Bright if you want some bright, bright lips. Summer Sweetheart would also layer well, but it's not the lipglass that is an almost identical color match to Betty Bright. If I had to guess, Summer Sweetheart would lighten Betty Bright and add some more yellow to it.

You're awesome! Thanks so much! Now I'm debating Prom Princess, do you think it'll be too much for nc15?

I talked to my pro store today and she said I could b2m these o if I like something I could depot them. Wooh! So we'll see what I end up with and once I can play. I was on such a no spend that I went to my Nordies girl and she moved to a different store about 30 minutes away . Must've been in the last month since I saw her back in mid December. Now I have no girl.

After seeing alllllll those swatches I definitely want both quads! Ugh!! I also want the purple pigment, cream soda blush, two of Betty's lipsticks and maybe Ronnie red, plus a pearl matte (maybe) this sucks!!
Haha, sorry dude! Didn't mean to make it harder to keep a short list!
My feelings exactly! And to the person who asked about the quads being square, these photos were posted by MAC employees - when MAC gives them gratis it doesn't come in the special packaging.Veronica's quad looks so pretty now I can't skip it.
