All in all, I'm really underwhelmed by the whole collection, mainly because it's smaller compared to previous ones. If I would wear blue I'd get the blue pigment, but other than that there's nothing standing out to me.
The blue one is gorgeous, I agree, but I won't buy it as well. Blue unfortunately doesn't look good on me. I might pick up the gold one if it looks extraordinary in comparison to regular golden eyeshadows, or the teal or purple one. When the finish is just like any other shimmery eyeshadow, I won't like them as much. I feel like I should love the highlighters because ED, but I guess my face will look as if it consisted of pores, pores only and nothing but pores. I'm really missing nice blushes in this collection since the 2014 holiday ones were amazing.

totally like the pic I seen on IG a few days ago@Vandekamp
They look identical here. I would love to see the EDSF on a WOC. I guess I will have to step out on faith and buy both of them. I love how Charlotte Tilbury and ColorPop showcase their shades on women of various skin colors so you can get a better idea of what it will look like on you.

That's probably the one, I don't think there was another WOG comparison pic anywhere. :)
Damn it.

I'm thinking to do the same and skip the lippies. I want the purple bullet but none of the colors appeal to me and they are perm. I think Mac dropped the ball putting the new shades in the sets forcing a sale

I agree. Last year, I think they done pretty well releasing some new lipsticks in the Heirloom Mix collection, there was only 1 perm and a repromote. All the other lipsticks were pretty much new

I was able to see the Pink Lip Bag in person today (my Bay counter let me pre-purchase it, for pick up on Oct. 22)... the products are absolutely gorgeous, I can't wait to get them! However, the bag itself... very cheap looking. I will probably give it to my 5 year old daughter to play with. Not that the bags are the big draw anyway, but still... for $50+, you'd hope it would be something you'd actually use.

Temptalia sure is taking as long as she can with posting the swatches for this collection. I am far too impatient for this!

I read a remark she made in the comments section for one of the posts that she wasn't in a rush to do reviews for the holiday items because the items weren't coming out soon. I don't know if she was referring to the sets or the color collection as well.

That really sucks...I want to see the swatches for all of the sets, there's almost none available, and for whatever reason, Karen wouldn't swatch hers. I like to have swatches as early as possible so I have time to compare them to everything I already have.

I really want to see swatches of the lipstick for the copper bag so I'm hoping T puts them up soon...idk what she means by them not coming out soon? They're all coming out this month aren't they?

I really want to see the reviews for the eye shadow palettes! *fingers crossed* + everything else because it matters before buying blindly!

[COLOR=CC99FF]Sad to go on Instagram and see how many people are posting Temptalia's and Karen's pics but refusing to credit them in any way, instead they only tag Trendmood.[/COLOR]
In terms of press pics, I'm not sure it matters much, because all bloggers on the PR list get the same photos. But in terms of using pics bloggers take of the products and their swatch photos? That's not cool, I agree.
In the past she has stolen info and pics from our members without mentioning the source, that's the main reason this part of the forum is protected now (and she is banned).
And there was watermarking pics, that didn't even belong to her, I must add
Pretty damn sure she still watermarks stolen pics.

Yeah, the only way I'd have bought anything from this collection is if Feed The Senses was to be repromoted on its own and not in a palette. My most-used, and a favourite, lippie in a gorgeous purple bullet? YES PLEASE. But since that isn't the case... :fluffy:

The colour collection is out this month, but if I'm understanding things correctly, the sets aren't out until December 1.

I am NW13 in the Studio Fix foundation. I am wondering if Oh Darling would be too dark for my skin to use as a highlight. What do you guys think?
