Not until Dec 26, at which point their CS claims they will have all shades available.

February 7th?! Wow. Initially Nordstrom gave me an expected ship date of 12/19 but now it just says "delayed". I was assuming worst case scenario it wouldn't ship until these were re-released on 12/26 but I guess that's not the case!
I think Neimans just routinely adds 30 days or something when there's a delay and the original date they gave was Jan 5.

I don't think her swatches are that bad, it's just that she has an "ideal" studio lighting environment, so for most of us they won't look like that. For the Lips and Boys collection in particular, I feel like the darker shades (like Alasdhair, Wes, Liam) look better and more opaque than I can get on my lips.

Yeah, I have a(n ever increasing) pre-sell order with an SA who I feel I can trust (he was the one who let me know about the Lips and Boys collection before I ever saw any news of it anywhere, but I wanted to order online since I can use Ebates, and not pay tax if I order from BG.com :p

I haven't tested Ian on my lips, but it seems like it's super sheer according to T's swatches, and any pink will be negligible. It'll probably look like clear balm with some gold shimmer. And that's not worth $32; at least I should return it and get that backup of Julian, or another color (but which??).

Flynn is rather pale and muted on me, not as bright as it looks on Beauty Professor. Alexander was too blue-toned and neon on me, so I think Flynn was a much better fit. Addison I think is just a smidge darker, and I was debating swapping, but I probably can't if I've already tested it, but that's okay, I think I'll just try to make this paler pink work - it probably doesn't like as bad as I think, it's just I'm not used to wearing such pale shades.
Thank you!

i just checked my nordstrom order and julian says "delayed," while addison has an estimated ship date of december 26th.

eta: i just contacted nordstrom CS and she said that julian would ship on december 26th as well.
Thank you! That's a good sign that there's not some worldwide production shortage of Julian LOL. Hopefully you'll get yours sooner than expected too @Winthrop44

All of them! lol Didier, Richard, Alejandro, Tomas, Guillermo,

You know these are all minis, right? I haven't seen the colors you ordered irl, but I think you're smart to order from neimans and choose the individual shades you want rather than a pre-made set from Nordstrom. You know what you like and can make better choices for yourself!

Well I almost ordered from Nordies but like you said, I wanted to pick my own shades. I looked at Temptalias swatches to get an idea of what they looked like.
