Am I the only one that is excited about this collection? I plan on getting most of the lipsticks but I'll have to wait one more week or so until it arrives here..

I'm thinking I'll get London Life and Naked Paris. Hopefully the MAC counter in Reading won't be too packed.
I need to do a list tonight so I don't go nuts tomorrow!

I didn't buy anything from this collection. I went & thought I'd probably get one or two but the only one I really fancied was show orchid & thats permanent on the pro line as well as virtually a dupe for girl about town which I have. I skipped it all. The only thing I did get was morange l/s, which I b2m'd for & is a virtual dupe of neon orange! I've been really good....its just a shame about how much I love the upcoming collections!

i've been wanting morange for ages but i tried it at a counter the other day and decided it was just too strong for me.
do you know what the difference between that and neon orange is?

i think im finding it so difficult to decide what i want from euristocrats because im used to seeing loads of swatches and haul pics of products on here before i buy them. i normally just buy things online because i see so many swatches from US people that i can figure out what will work on me. i guess im going to have to go to my mac counter tomorrow and have a look at euristocrats and be decisive. i hate going to the mac counter in colchester, the girls always ignore me there and are all really skinny and pretty.

But it is a pity that you don't like going to the counter!
I love going to my counter, I have made friends with the MAs there and don't want to miss the personal contact.

they make me feel like im bothering them if i ask questions and it feels really awkward and forced on their part when i talk to them. i always spend money when i go in there (wheres my self control!?) yet they never offer to help me pick out colours or offer to apply any of the products on me. and if i go in there with my bf theres one ma (whos absolutely stunning) who flirts with him. anyway i think i need to build up a bit of confidence! i think il go to the counter tomorrow and have a look at the collection.

I grabbed Patisserie and London Life.
Patisserie is very similar to my own lip colour, but just gives it a bit more shine and colour. And London Life is a great alternative to when I don't want to wear my full on Russian Red.
TrollyDolly, I know what you mean about going to the counter! I found a very nice woman at my counter the other day, but when I went back later as I forgot to grab something she was busy and I didn't find the other girls so helpful at all!!
I'm always quite nervous there especially when it's a Saturday and crowded, as you can feel like your just taking up their time. Sometimes it's worth trying to find another counter if you can, your spending alot of money and make up is quite a personal thing so you want to feel confident in the people who are serving you.

I'm glad I didn't order these online. I saw and swatched a few at the pro store yesterday and they weren't quite as nice as I had expected. London Life was lovely as were a couple of others but nothing too outstanding, for me anyway.

Just got costa chic, london life and patisserie.
Unexpectedly I LOVE patisserie! It's nothing like Hue (which I expected) and its a lovely looking nude colour-perfect for me!
Lovin London Life it has a multi-dimensional aspect to it and its really shimmery and nice!
Costa chic wasn't what I expect at all-it's really bright! well for me anyway. It also seems to have a hint of pink in it which you can't really see on the swatches-I'll have to see how I go with this one, I think it might be hard to match with other colours.
Also picked up barcelona red-not as corally as I thought but still a nice wearable red. I'm not used to wearing reds so may have to wean myself onto this one.
Also got Rue D'bois-darker than swatches I have seen but still a lovely brown colour with a nice shimmer to it. A wearable everyday colour.
Overall I have been impressed with this collection. However, I will say that the colours don't look anything like the swatches on the website (what's new there then?!) but there are some really wearable colours although some look similar to each other.
