I wonder too. Let's hope it will be internationally launched.
As the mini collection Bombay is concerned, do you know if it's for the US only or.. ? well I don't know !

I like all of the products, but the overall color scheme of this collection may turn out hideous on me b/c of my skintone. I will definately need to try/swatch these products before purchase, especially the lip products. The only items that I can safely buy online are the nps, but only the black polish is calling my name right now.

Thanks for the info Gail! The polishes look promising, as well as the JC. In the other hand, I am not very interested in the lip products by now (of course, I will have to eat my own words once the swatching marathon beings :D)

Probably there won't be just one Rouge Coco... Promising but very bad for our wallets I am afraid !

Oh my... I'm completely in love with the model's makeup and the shades look like they were ripped from my dreams. (Yes, I actually do have dreams about makeup...) The powder/ shadow actually reminds me a lot of Edward Bess Quad Royale "South of France" (making faces :: a mediterranean escape with edward...), but maybe a bit warmer. I already keep Edward in my makeup bag at all times, because I find it's the most incredibly useful and versatile thing I own if I need to change/ refresh quickly. If it's really similar, I don't know if I want to spend so much on it, but on the other hand, there is something appealing about a product that can cover multiple functions.

So far, I'm interested in...

Lumiere d'Artifices Beiges
Rose Initiale
Furtif
Complice
Infini (maybe- I find that a lot of silver shadows look more or less the same)
Noir (maybe- same reasons as above, but I do need a good matte black)
Caractere
Caprice
Troublant
Vertigo (I need this. It's one of my favourite movies plus I actually have the condition!)
Frenzy

I'm definitely doomed. I mean, not only do I really love Fall collections in general, but this year seems to slant a bit cool-toned, which is perfect for me (sorry QoS!). Now, against my better judgment, I'm going to look at the link that has all the different collections. If you hear a loud, piercing cry in the near future, that's my wallet.

Hey ladies!

I have to agree wtih everyone that the models make-up looks 90's ish. I would say early 90's, as lips started to lighten up towards the end. I had a MAC lipstick called Verve (maybe?) that looked a lot like that lipstick on the model. That was back in the day when I only owned about 3 lipsticks total! The beige glossimer looks really pretty though, I bet that'll look really nice on people with pigmented lips. The grey/lilac (going by the description) nail polish is nice too, but not sure how that would look on olive skin.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Haven't been on all that much lately, but things are okay on my end. The house has been coming along (we're starting to add punches of colour now!), the kids' are great, work has gone from bad to worse (sort of new manager has really proved now that she has no soul), but baseball season has started for the kids, and that's keeping us busy (I'm coaching my daughter's tball team!). And that in a nut shell is a complete update, lol!

^^Hi! Miss you! Sorry to hear about the bad new manager at work. Have fun coaching the kids. I think the beige glossimers is a repromote and the ladies who bought it like it. I'm happy that many of us are excited about this collection! Now there's something to look forward to at the end of summer! Haven - Why do you say the colours may not look good on you? Are they too cool-tomed/brown?

I'm liking the neutrals in this collection even though nothing looks super unique. But, that eyeshadow palette is killing me with the sequin pattern. It looks like a skin disease

A skin disease but beautiful though ! I wonder if it's not a highlighter ? 75 USD for an eyeshadow ? This collection is amazing, I know my credit card is going to suffer next fall, Peter Philips is very talented, everything is classy in the fall collection. The summer collection is pretty but I really think Peter Philips worked much more on the fall collection, he always does in fact. Dior summer collection is huge I wonder what the fall collection will be... Wait and see.

I like Dior summer collections more than Chanel for a few years, but Chanel summer collection last year was gorgeous and I purchased several items. Chanel Fall is usually a winner, while Holiday has been golds and reds for a few years now. I hope there is something inspiring this holiday.
 
Yep - 2011 Holiday Collection - and I love it - bought two!

Sweet Beige Glossimer #297 - pink nude beige with gold shimmers:

I dont know but this looks boring. Nothing excites me. I like the black polish but will probably not purchase it as it will be too much to wear to work. Wonder how the gray/lilac polish will look on the nails. Might be the corpse pulled out of the water look. Guess it would depend on the skin tone.

But actually I am glad I do not like anything. Finally will have an opportunity to give a chance to Armani, Dolce& Gabbana which I really wanted to try for a while but never got to it.

Can't wait to see Guerlain and Burberry too.
