Daphne Guiness has twitted a pic of her wearing Approaching Storm lp. It looks wonderful!

I thought I wanted Approaching Storm, just from reading the description, but now I KNOW!
When does this collection come out? <pants, drools>

I like the looks of Approaching Storm! Though I don't think it looks deep rose in colour.

I don't know if I should get Vintage Grape or swap for Dirty Plum any suggestions?

Compared to Dirty Plum, Vintage Grape is brighter and more purple. Its cooler. I think you should go for it! I love the fact that its in the larger compact. too.

Does anyone know how either Azalea Blossom or Vintage Grape compares to Amazon Princess blush (from the WW collection)? I have AP, and wouldn't mind a darker plum blush I could use partially to contour with but I don't need dupes. At this rate AP is going to last me the rest of my life LOL. I also have Hang Loose and Sakura so am all set for lighter lilacky type blushes too.

i agree - they are very different so don't feel you can compare them... bad news for the wallet!

they are not dupes.

Karla's swatches are here and I think you can get a good idea of how AB and VG look from her photo. http://karlasugar.net/2010/02/mac-spring-colour-forecast-ombre-blushes/

I just swatched AP, AB and Sakura next to eachother (and then realized that the batteries in my camera are dead

).
AP is much brighter, more hot pink than AB which is a bit more muted and more lavendery, and Sakura is significantly more lavender based than both of the others; it is also darker than AB. They are definitely not dupes at all.
Personally, I think AB is the prettiest of the three and I will definitely be getting a backup as it's one of my favourite blushes.

Thanks for the link to Karlasugar's swatches. I am sort of surprised, that isn't the colour I was expecting AB to be. Does anyone know if it compares to Illamasqua's Katie blush?

I have everything you list except Sakura and none of them are dupes.

HL- Very light, shimmery cool lilac-pink
AB- Soft, light cool pink
AP- Medium pink-rose colour, a little warmer
VG- Medium-deep purplish plum

If I can get time tomorrow, I'll swatch them.

Katie is a fairly pale pink color. AB is definitely more purple when mixed together and even just the pink part is a deeper pink.

Ohh I just saw the color story posted on Temptalia and I must say, I am soooo excited this comes out a day before my bday. Time to treat myself!!! The quad is looking like a definite must!

The pigments are gorgeous. I just wonder how close Aurora is to Kitschmas. In the promo pic it looks similar. I'll have to wait to see it in person.
Also, anyone have Circa Plum? I think it's a repromote, yes? Is it a must have?
I do love Nebula.
And the quad.

Sigh. $$$

I keep going back to the promo pics and drooling over all the pretty colors! lol

My want list for sure:
Azalea Blossom blush ombre
Interior Life Quad (though I'm majorly crossing my fingers on the quality of this one - the colors are super pretty!)

I'm skeptical but willing to test out/possibly buy:
Red Dwarf plw
Approaching Storm plw
Aurora piggie

I haven't been bitten by the piggie bug quite yet, and plw I have zero experience with, so we'll see how those pan out :)
Vintage Grape ombre caught my eye, too, but I think the dark purple would make it look like my NC15 skin got punched, lol. Though I suppose I could go light-handed. I want to like the Cremesheens but I own Looks Like Sin and Double Dare and I constantly have to reapply them, they feather on me like crazy, too.
