Thank you ladies for the pics and swatches. I wanted to see if you all find the Gucci comparable to Tom Ford, for one. Are they pigmented? Very shimmery? Thanks again

I'm sold.@Alysse011 Swatches below! @Icecaramellatte CC Quad isn't matte at all. I'm horrible at describing colors; Oxydus is pretty accurate in pic below; neutral as well, I'd say.

@Alysse011 I think if you have something like it (i.e., TF Cognac Sable, which isn't a dupe but the color scheme is similar) it's not necessary BUT if CS is something you'd be similar in, this can help fill that void, minus the glitter shade and IMO, slightly better pigmentation (I'm not in love with CS). Quality is really great @Missyrocks, definitely on TF's level. Finishes vary but nothing looks tacky and texture is silky with AMAZING pigmentation.

Thank you so much for the info @NYCBeautyJunkie! And again, thanks to everyone else for descriptions and pics. Ordered Autumn Fire. I have TF Cognac S and thought same as nycbeautyjunkie from the pics- they look similar enough so went with the other. Also, I don't really have these colors. I would, however, say just from the pics, I'm thinking the two Dior quints I just recently got from the Fall 2014 collection seem somewhat similar. Dior Trafalgar has that cranberryish color, but not the others in Autumn Fire. Also, IMHO, everyone needs to check out the Dior Cuir Cannage quint- OMG- it is gorge! I spent mad dollars to order it a while ago on Ebay because I couldn't wait for it to arrive here in US. It is really nice despite some of their quints being hits or misses. The only thing with these Gucci quads is they're going to be too pretty to use! They should make the embossed logo go through to the bottom of the pan! LOL

Got one more shipment in a few mins ago; will probably be my last until it is released in stores (I still want another e/s quad, two or 3 e/s duos, I want to see the concealers, the bronzers, the lip liners, lol!) Anywhoo, I got the blushes in Spicy Petal (I had a hunch and I am PLEASANTLY surprised by this color, but I won't be sure until I actually try it on my face) and Tulip Blossom, the liquid pen eyeliner and at home, I've got the Lustrous Glow Foundation. I'd say upon 'first impressions' alone (items I've actually worn or have only swatched) I am so happy with ALL of my purchases, EXCEPT the Luxe Finishing Powder, which is a bit too light-- that's the only issue. It's actually a nice product; the powder is SO silky and feels CREAMY; pigmentation is high as well, so if you'd like to use this as a powder foundation as well as a setting powder, it's definitely doable. Dark 060 is actually around the same color as CT's Airbrush Perfecting Powder in Dark, if not SLIGHTLY darker, but the difference is that CT's powder is rather translucent; so it does it's job of mattifying and creating an airbrushed flawless finish, but without adding much IF ANY color. Gucci's is far more pigmented (and prettier 
)
I should have reviews/first impressions on a bunch of the items tomorrow. So far, all I've worn thus far is the Nude Freesia blush today (it's a soft, neutral-cool pink with a GORGEOUS satin shimmer finish-- not at all the type that emphasizes pores or uneven skin texture, but the type that gives you a true glow!) and the mascara (jury is still out on this, but I can say that it's very VERY black). I am very impressed by Gucci's Cosmetics right now. Enamored with them, even.

@medga107 & @nycbeautyjunkie Dior CC is my kind of colors! I heard they'll be permanent, but I'm not sure if that's true. I did see here they said it's on the site. I tried to get 30 Montaigne but it's Bye Felicia. I looked in Nordie but didn't see it there nor Sephora. I think those other Dior quints should be in soon from what I've heard. I'm going to ask at Nordie if this will be LE or Permanent. We all have to know how much stalking will be necessary! Those blush swatches rock. That'll be my next mission!

Because you all didn't mention they were sold out, I just tried now and was able to order that quint on Dior's site. I guess they were re-stocked from this morning? It was sold out early here EST. :encore::nanas:

Here is a pic of my order.
I wish the pic was more clear but everything looks true to the stock pics on the website except for Tourmaline eyeshadow. I was expecting a deeper, richer pink color. I haven't swatched anything yet. I'm eager to try everything out.
I got:
Iconic Bronze eyeshadow, lipstick , lip gloss and nail polish
Iconic Copper eyeshadow and lipstick
Tourmaline eyeshadow

Ooh I was eyeing Spicy Petal. Thanks for the pics.@Alysse011 Swatches below!

No definitely not matte in these pics. Gorgeous!

This photo does Spicy Petal NO justice! It's a teeny bit darker and bronzier/browner IRL-- NOT to the point where it won't work on much lighter ladies. It would pack an even bigger punch on lighter skin tones.

@icecaramellatte please let us know what you think of the lipsticks! I'm loving the way the copper shadow looks as well!
