exactly, so where are all the swatches on all the big blogs and instas? :(
Who knows. It comes out in 4 days and there's hardly any swatches. Temptalia won't even be half done with her reviews by then. And there are no swatches of the mini sets and only 1 very small swatch of the lip bags where you can't even tell if the lipglasses have shimmer or not...I know 2 of them do, but Idk about the red one.

I don't even know. It looks different in every pic I see. Sometimes I see private party, then I see heroine, then maybe even some strong woman vibes.
Strong Woman.......You may be on to something. It's just like Mac to bring back a LE lipstick under a different name. I wore Strong Woman with RiRi Boy over the weekend. It was so pretty. As some of you know I tend to mix RRB with all my purples except LUV.

I love LUV. My last RRB was murdered by my 2 yr old last week. I managed to salvage less than an inch of product. Purples are my life so I'll get ER no matter what shade of purple it is.lol

I feel your pain. I love RRB more than Heroine. It makes all of my purples pop. I hope you can grab one in the Clearance Bin. I love purples too. Milani had a RRB LE dupe out last fall. It was called Enchanted Amethyst. I hope you can grab one on EBay for a reasonable price. They were only $3-$5 in the drugstores last year.

I have enchanted amethyst. 3 actually. MLM will satisfy my RRB craving for now.

I guess I'm going to semi-stalk starting tomorrow. I don't trust MAC with release dates especially when things are expected to sell out fast.

I'm still torn on what to get though. I can get 2 things from this collection but I can't decide on ER or SOG. Swatches would help with that. OD is a must. I'm on the fence about SOG because I have Gold Deposit and it is very subtle on me unless I apply a lot and then it looks like glitter.

So I was looking back at holiday collections and for like the past 3 or 4 years, the palettes have been pretty much the same. Browns, dull greyish blues and dull greyish purples, mostly the same colors with different names and ALWAYS Magic Moor. Good lord, MAC needs to hire new people to come up with some new color ideas,

Yeah, especially since most of us love Mac specifically because they're chromatically adventurous. We can get reds and nudes and neutrals everywhere. Only mac has all the crazy duo chromes and neon pinks and royal blue lipstick and whatnot. There are some misses, like the eye gloss, but the point is they're not afraid to try new things, just like us. Granted I still get most of my basic colors from Mac too... Like literally 80% of my hoard is Mac... But I want there to be SOMETHING crazy in each collection.

I would really like for them to release a Christmas palette something like Urban Decay Electric, bright pink, bright blue, bright green, etc. maybe even bright duochromes. They can still do the boring greyed out palettes too, but give something crazy to those of us who love it. And that same exact shade of red lipstick that they put in every collection, I could think of so many ideas for red lipsticks, add some different colored shimmer or anything different.

I have been thinking about what exactly do I want to buy from this collection and I seem to be going in circles. Like one second I want several things then a few seconds later I come to my senses and realize I only really NEED and WANT ER and SoG. It's so tempting though to just buy a lot of things that you don't need especially with these gem-like colors and the special packaging.

You have to post a post a pic of that combo, as I got Heroine and RRB/MLM/UTA (there's something about that particular shade of purple that I have to have in 3 different finishes) and what liner do you use with it?

Yup, they're so exchangeable. But I guess the holiday collections are aimed rather at average customers looking for gifts (so conventional/likeable colors make sense), not at us makeup junkies who like some more extraordinary stuff. At least that's my experience, I don't know. But all in all, I do have the impression that not a lot of women in Germany wear lots of makeup, not to think of flashy/extravagant colors or rocking bright lips or smoky eyes during daytime. So those lame products seem to sell quite well here, lol. Don't wanna offend anybody, but for example, most of my friends, even the super fashionable ones, mostly just wear something to improve their complexion (tinted moisturizer or powder) and maybe some mascara or eye pencil. Might be different in other places. But still, I totally agree with you!
LOL, didn't know about Magic Moor being included in each and every palette! Maybe because I don't even read the desciptions of the holiday palettes. I own it in the (perm) Pink Freeze palette and actually, it's not bad. Really like my Pink Freeze palette (except from Pink Freeze itself, which is horribly frosty).
