I saw pictures like these and had no reason to believe that BK was anything other than pink.  One of these is even on an NW10, so I'm puzzled as to why it doesn't look at all like that on me.  So strange.
BK IS a coral pink. I thought it was gonna be a super hot pink girl about town meets viva glam Miley but it was a damn coral! Here is a swatch next to Full Speed and Watch Me Simmer and they're practically identical. It's still beautiful, but not what I was expecting at all.

I'm not going to hunt LJ down. I don't need it anymore. I still have my DG.

So exciting that your getting your goodies this week! YAY! Can't wait to hear what you think! You are so right that the nuances make all the difference. I have been wearing Good Kisser a lot lately again and it is just the perfect pink for me. LOVE IT!

It think I even love it more than Moxie (did I say that out loud?) LOL!

Thankfully, I just located LVER!--too many lipsticks to keep track of!

LVER is more matte, darker and has more red than BK. They are actually quite different when you swatch them! I'm loving the pinky coral reds too!

I have no clue what I am getting from Mac is Beauty yet--will think about it more after Julia Petit!

Thanks for the comparison to LVER! I wore LVER yesterday and it was pulling a bit orange.

I definitely prefer GK to Moxie- GK is perfection!!!

I like NFP a lot too.

JP is going to be amazing, and MAC is Beauty has some gorgeous colours also- and as it has been released in Europe already (not sure in all locations but some have been reported on the thread) we have the benefit of early swatches.

I think you will like Catty lipstick

IG is very pretty on you. Looking forward to your review. I hear it chips after a day or two.
here is link to the deborah Lippmann gel bottom + top coat I mentioned before, it comes in 2 sizes, the smaller set is $24 - I have not read the reviews there but it came highly recommended to me - was told could make any polish dry in 2 mins and last for 2 weeks, may be worth a shot for those that love the colors that are having issues! I love nails inc and I think they have a similar set but I'm not sure how it works!! HTH http://m.sephora.com/product/P381914?preferedSku=1682913&om_mmc=ppc-GG&mkwid=yvo2GN0V&pcrid=56697993399&pdv=m&site=us_search&country_switch=us&lang=en&gclid=CPLt5u-cm8QCFfRj7AodInIA2A

Ladies that are bummed about missing lavender jade --- I used the Sephora occ lip tar set in vainly violet and got a pretty purple lip with that. Comes with rollergirl and a pink color.

Hi there, new kid here. I've been lurking on this thread for a few days, watching the release unfold. I tried to track down a LJ for myself, and struck out, but I've absolutely loved seeing what everyone else has been able to snag. Two local MAC stores gave me a bit of a runaround, and at a certain point I had to remind myself that "it's just lipstick," which we all know is a lie.... it's never JUST lipstick.

Anyway, just wanted to pop in, say hello, and thank you all for making this launch more fun.

Thanks for the welcome! :)   (And oh heavens... I hope I get the hang of the 2348798 smiley faces, 987342 buttons, and all the other technology-related things quickly... I apologize in advance if I muck things up!)
You'll be fine. You'll get the hang of the smileys and the emojis that get posted on here
