I want so much from this collection... I've made my list. I'm going to get:
Girl next door L/S, Betty Bright L/S, Boyfriend Stealer L/S, Daddy's Little Girl L/S.... Ronnie Red looks tempting but I'm going to resist. Already have a ton of red lippies!!
All 3 Betty lipglass, Feelin so good lipglass
Both Betty and Ron blushes
And both pearlmattes
Approx cost- $282.00 CAD. My poor student wallet.
Dammit MAC!! you kill me...

Sorry for the OT but I just enabled my 17 year old niece to get her first MAC lippie. She ordered it online. She said she got Russian Red. I am happy bc that's an amazing color.
Back to topic, I can't wait for this. I know i said that already but it deserved to be said again lol. I am really looking forward to trying out a Pearlmatte as I don't have any yet. Also the Spoiled Rich quad looks awesome plus the lippies of course.I think I'm gonna go after Betty Bright and Daddy's Little Girl plus the spoiled rich quad and veronica's pearlmatte. I loved these comics as a kid so have to get some stuff. So excited!

I am happy about the swatches. Allthough everything looks lovely, most of it doesn't look new to me. I feel that I already have similar colours in my stash. Flatter Me is coming home with me if I can get my hands on it. I feel safe skipping the rest, even the Veronica quad.

I need to stop coming to this thread--I'm super excited too, and the more I read & see, the more amped up I become

I know you won't believe this but I haven't constructed my list. I made a mental note but I plan to really sit down and select tomorrow. I promise to share it if you'll promise not to enable me!
I'm also forwarding it to my 'Angel of MAC' so she can put my items aside. I'll pick them up at the event on the 5th. When I get there I might pass on something that I've selected after seeing it, and/or add something that I thought I didn't need or want. I need to exercise some self control---but I can't find it. It appears to have flown the coop!

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 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!

Amaziiiing. How do you think Cream Soda blush would show on Matchmaster 7.5? I lean yellow undertones. Woc.

I wanted to skip Archie so I can prepare for the upcoming Extra Dimension collection but I'm really loving Ronnie Red and after moonzie's description, I'm pretty sure I'll be getting it. I've been trying to find a blue-based retro red but didn't want to deal with Ruby Woo's dryness and application issues. Might get Daddy's Little Girl also. That's it, 2 lippies for me.

OT, does Mac still send T samples? If Karen was given the entire collection, shouldn't T be getting hers by now also? She also said she'll be buying the products when the collection launches so it makes me wonder if she still gets samples from Mac. Looks like she got the color stories but no samples?

I know Macy's will be getting this collection but does anyone know if Nordstrom will be getting it instore and/or online? I may wait on kiss don't tell and summer sweetheart. Just in case I don't like them (very unlikely) Nordies has free returns. For sure I want to order 2 Betty Brights and one flatter me pearl matte right when they pop up on the mac site because I know I will love them!
