So I went unexpectedly to the mall today and remembered to try my SA in NM and lucked out. They hadn't put them out yet I don't think, but I got the Candlelight illuminating Duo as well as the Pink Enhancing Primer. Love, love. Just got home and wiped, but will try to post some swatches tomorrow because it's already almost dark from bad weather here. Also, I think she said the lippies next month are all repromotes and in November launching a bunch of new lippies and in December bringing back the top I think 15 selling Lips & Boys and also I think another like 15 new ones! Don't quote me 100% because I was so excited about the new makeup, it kind of glossed over me! Lol. But I think she said something like that.
Thanks for all the info! And yay for such a successful makeup run! I am beyond excited over new TF lipstick shades!

I'm going to skip the primer and just stick with the Burberry Illuminator I've been using.

So just the Duo for me, waiting patiently for it to pop up on Nordies...

I wasn't into TF when the boys first came to town, so this is very exciting for me indeed!

I agree, it definitely looks like an unused tester to me. Some Ebay sellers pretty much just sell excess testers.

I've seen some fake TF lipsticks, but not many and they were terrible fakes, looked nothing like the real thing. Otherwise nothing. I would be amazed if someone went to the trouble of making fakes of this palette, getting the unusual pan shapes and product colours right, and then didn't even bother putting it in a case. Seems like a lot of effort for what can't be that much reward given it's not a complete item.

Unless you use it and feel the texture or scent is way off, I think you're safe assuming it's the real deal.
Yeah, I would have thought the "real money" in fake make up was mid-range, pop items like Urban Decay, and therefore people wouldn't bother trying to replicate high end limited edition collections, but then again people will pay good money for it.
I'll have to hold back until I have it in my hands, but I was nervous when I saw the listing.

Thank you to everyone else who replied, I'm a bit more reassured now. I have a second chance on Tuesday to try to get a compact from a different TF counter, so hopefully either way I don't miss out!

OK, so here are some swatches of first the Pink Primer then the Candlelight Highlighting Duo. I'm like NC25-30 with yellow undertone. Primer has two swatches- one blended, one not. I didn't even recognize my own arm close up! Rather disturbing as I look like King Kong, but I swear I don't have heavy arm hair and my wrists are actually pretty tiny! LOL. Natural lighting and indoor lighting.

I am wearing new Pink glow primer today and Traceless perfecting foundation - meh... it's just ok for now. Will report back later.
Monsy how does it compare to the Fire Lust Illuminator or are we looking at totally different product formulations-----apples & oranges????
