I finally got mine as well. It was a miracle that I did because FedEx keeps delivering my packages to my next door neighbor so I left a note on his door with the correction today. Really like the looks of Stroked and the quad in the pan but haven't tried them on yet. I was horrified at the way TF.com wrapped in thin tissue and left the stuff rattling around in the box and was sure it would be cracked as I was opening the package but luckily it was fine. Between that and the FedEx delivery with signature required I won 't be ordering from TF.com again ever.
did you check gift box? I did and only got partial order + no gift box, there was no paper but the receipt, the blush was outside of TF cover and that + box were smushed, no clue how blush survived - could not believe a high end company like TF would let this happen, TF blamed on their 3rd party shippers!! anyway, most important, has everyone rec'd or ordered what you wanted? just spoke to BG and soon they will stop taking orders so now is time to call as it could be cut off any point today, they should be shipping out next Wednesday, as far as they know they will not get anymore nude dips, not sure on others - if you are unsure I would just get and think later - I know NM still had stock too but limited... btw, enchanted just sold for $250 on eBay! crazy, eh?! think this is craziest launch I've seen, I can't recall if others were this nuts!! happy long w/e TF addicts!!

If it makes you feel any better, they did the same thing when they were shipping my husband's MS medication. Said they tried to deliver, but that it wasn't their responsibility to ring the apartment buzzer unless it had been specifically requested that they do so. And they were really rude when I called back, saying that I shouldn't expect them to ring the buzzer when they were making a delivery. In happier news (except for our wallets), I'm just going to put this Instagram link here and back away... http://instagram.com/p/r6_7etqJjO/
think there are cream shadows too! wahoo!

I just checked if I could order and unfortunaley none of the stores ship to the Netherlands or even international. I was already afraid of that ! So more tips are still welcome.  
did you call the 1.800 or did you call direct to a store? if you only did one then try the other as I know that last year NM/BG shipped m/u to Europe but not nail polish...

On me the colors to my surprise went more to gray/taupe. Which is fine with me. Not a real lover of brown eyeshadow. As for the nail polish, in my huge collection, nothing quite matches it. It does look black, but under the lights it has this cool deep wine undertone. Chanel Strong is close but more shimmer. The original Chanel Vamp came out when I was in junior high. I haven't been this excited over a color since then. It is the blushes I have never been drooling over. Wicked for me is OK. The rest are too brown/peachy for my skin tone. I apply the Softcore like I do with the Chanel Rouge that came out years ago. Gentle, a little goes a long way. Careful or the traveling circus will be looking for you to join them. The Negligee lipstick, to me is a pretty close match to the softcore bricky color. Since TF is not sold near me unless I schlep to downtown, then pay out the nose in taxes since it is downtown I skipped the Twist of Fate and the other blush. Peachy/corals are awful on me. Good news, the NM about 20 miles from me is going to have a TF bay in November. I wonder if the matte lipsticks are the same colors he offers now, except in matte? I am wanting the darkest one. But if it Bruised Plum, just in matte I can skip it. 
I don't do well with orange/corals but I like stroked better than softcore, it is not orange on me...softcore blush is more pigmented than stroked and the highlight is a colder pinkish hue vs warm champagne in stroked...I was quite surprised!

I just did the entire look. Negligee is leaning towards, brown, no pink undertones on me. I used the new Armani liquid liners 2 and 6 with the TF quad. Love it!!! I started with the TF pencil in Mink, looked kinda of blah. So I jazzed it up with the Armani liners. This quad has shimmer and lots of it. The MAC aquatic collection the lipstick that was the pinky neutral is pretty close to Negligee. Lipstick looks good, but for me, in a house fire, I would not run and save it.....The mascara is understated. I found a base of black of mascara then putting this on as the second coat makes it pop more. 
cracking me up! what m/u would you grab?!? I swatched the lippies and it's in between Casablanca + Rose Indian - if you have those you prob don't need it but I would pick it up before the perm line if I did not have those yet....and if you are TF addict then a LE is a must!

Here is my eye look with Nude dip

Colors when blended are very similar and I like to have more contrast between colors so I applied darkest shade wet to make it darker and more dramatic

Wearing Negligee with smidgen of MAC's Grand Pumpkin over it. I really like this combo. Talk about opposite ends of the makeup spectrum working together.

In a house fire I would grab Chanel Malice nail polish for sure. I love that color. I would grab the original TF Black Orchid lipstick. And yes, the original Chanel Vamp lipstick even though it is just a nub now. Why Chanel changed the color Vamp is dumb to me. Frantic Pink turns coral me, and I look like s*** when I wear it. Is Stroked like Frantic Pink????

I have both duos and really like both. With the darker duo, I barely touch the pan and then apply. Even if it looks like there is no product on the brush, this product is so pigmented that it will show up. At least on my pale skin.
I ordered both as well Haven. I just love TF blush products!!!

My goodies came this morning. The nail polish is super cool. Love it!!!! The blush soft core is more brick red with a hint of berry. The mascara has shimmer in it which is outstanding. Think of Holiday 2013 Chanel bronze top coat mascara mixed with brown base. Eyeshadows are lovely. The lipstick Negligee is more brown based then I thought. I used the TF vinyl on top, and it made it better for my super fair skin with pink undertones. The least impressive for me is the blush. I use a MAC fan brush LIGHTLY. If it wasn't a LE I doubt I would have bought it. The highlighter is nice, but not great, at least to me.
Awesome haul Ashievic---ENJOY!

So I received my complete order today. I just got the 2 cheek duos and nude dip but from 3 diff stores, so had to wait for it to come in one by one!! The cheek duos I really really like. Both are awesomely pigmented esp the softcore one. That one is quite packed and very easy to go overboard with. The slightest touch of a fan brush should do the trick. As for the quad it is pretty. The shades aren't that unique but I did know that when I ordered it!
