I'm starting to get nervous for tomorrow. Store launches are never crazy around here, but I always worry about them. I know I'll be able to get the blushes if I decide I like how they swatch, but I'm worried about getting my Oxblood bu. definitely kicking myself for not grabbing it off belk yesterday.
I thought I was going to get more from this collection but I've decided (after seeing swatches) I don't even want the Oxblood lipglass. I think almost everything is dupable to me. Now I only want the eye palette. Thank you guys for your help!

HERES SOME QUICK SWATCHES. BARBECUE,TENOR VOICE,VICTORIANA,OB LIPGLASS AND OB LIPSTICK.
Love them ALL ALL ALL on you!!! Especially Victoriana!!!! I know I was going to try and only get one of the reds, but everything in this collection is so nice - all the reds are very bright and vibrant and glowing.

I actually passed on Ripe Peach again - it looks almost exactly like Immortal Flower and Fresh Honey on me (it was very much on the yellow peach side) and I wanted to cut as much as I could since I couldn't resist all the lipsticks and the mascaras. I DID buy another Azalea Blossom, though, because it was MUCH purpler than my original one, drastically more. There is definitely variation between them, but a lot of the ones I looked had were almost half the darker purple color, so even though it's a sheer blush, the purple really mixed in and made it a very different color than my original one. Kindergarden Red is a very easy to manage red blush, since it's sheer. I liked it, although it's not quite as beautiful as Corol from Pedro Laurenco. The glosses are very high quality but I skipped them all, even Oxblood.

Oxblood is very pretty, along the lines of Runway Hit, but it looked beyond amazing on this other gal who was probably NW30 - way more beautiful than it did on my NC15. I have one waiting for me, but I may decide to skip it at the last minute, in lieu of the Cinderella lipsticks, that might be a tiny bit more flattering for me. I do have plenty of Runway Hit, since that's one of my total favorites - OB is more pink than that one.

Oh Honey - they are ALL GORGEOUS on you!!!! Just Beautiful dear!
Awww thank you elegant!!! :kisses:
And...I finally got my 2 Oxblood lipsticks. I am pleasantly surprised that I do love it on. Its not as pink as I thought, but not as dark peach as it shows on some. Just a nice natural slight pink  more muted peach with a touch nude mixed in.  I just did a light application & its very pretty & flattering.
I'm sure it's beautiful on you. Glad you like it!
Got my orde from MAC, wow that was fast since it wasn't supposed to be here until friday!!! I am actually liking Oxblood on me!! Yay! But whoever said it smelled "off" I agree, I do still smell Vanilla but at the same time it's not the usual MAC vanilla scent, it's a bit more...plastic-y? Oh well, still love it on! Can't wait for my Barbecue to get here now!
Yayyyyyy!

Thanks sooo much liba! I love Victoriana and totally agree that all the Reds are really bright and refreshing. All the lippies apply like a dream!

Got my AB today (was supposed to come yesterday but got delayed because of all the snow we've been having - boooo!) and I am in love! Luckily I'm not having the "film" issue with it, it works beautifully!

I broke down and bought Victoriana. I should've skipped it, but I just had to have something in this packaging! I already own Glam :/ but Victoriana would be the only color I'd really get use out of from this collection. Also, code NEXT works for free overnight shipping!
