All the pics (big thanks to Richelle!) have helped me get my list down which is good!
Charmed I'm Sure, Love Goddess, and Scarlet Ibis lipsticks are coming home with me. Preferred Blonde and Showgirl eyeshadows and Fascinating Eye Kohl which I've been wanting forever.

Richelle thank you so much for your detailed reviews and swatches! I'm a little sad that the lipsticks are familiar! But maybe I'll get Love Goddess after all. This will be a small haul for me, I wish I had the option to pre-sale in my area, but ah well! I'm working major overtime at my job this week so I hope I get lucky to catch LG and the b/p!!

After seeing the swatches, (thanks to Richelle!), I'm just going to grab Deeply Adored and Scarlet Ibis. The rest look dupeable to me

Thanks for the swatches Richelle! You've helped to confirm my order.
Love Goddess (x2)
Scarlet Ibis (x2)
Charmed, I'm Sure
Deeply Adored
I don't think I need BUs of Charmed, I'm Sure and Deeply Adored since I have Runaway Red and Rocker. I'm also going to pick up that 231 brush mentioned in the video. I hope swatches of the Beauty Powder will appear on deeper skin. The previous swatches look like it may be ashy.

My sis & I stopped by our local MAC store to see if the Marilyn display was up yet - it was - & I took a look @ everything.
I swatched a few things and decided that I'm sticking w/3 red lippies - I already have Scarlet Ibis.
Lookie here:
I tried the 3 reds - all nice - beauty powder (skip - too ashy for my NC45 skin) and shadows.
The shadows are VP (nicely textured, no glittery fall out) - but a skip for me. I'm not interested in them. Ignore the stripes - those were swatches from Sephora!
The bp reminded me of Porcelain Pink msf. It is really smooth, nice to the touch but rather on the light side.
I was not interested in the blushes - too light - nail polishes, etc.
I reserved the 3 red l/s and called it a day.
Love Goddess runs pinky red - kinda reminded me of Impassioned in a way - not a shade I would normally pick up but it is different. The other 2 reds are gorgeous too!
It was odd that there are no red glosses but oh well.
I tried Phff or what ever it is called on my hand & it is pretty but I'm skipping it.
Please note that these photos were taken indoors under artificial light.
I removed everything before I went outside - the back of my hand was covered in makeup!
Oh - I forgot to add: @ my local MAC f/s store: they are having an event next weekend. You will be able to purchase products, etc during the event & after the event is over, you won't be able to get anything until the official release date.

CartoonChic,
It is ashy - a peachy pink kinda ash but ashy as all out.
One would have thought that considering the steep cost of it MAC would have designed a beautiful compact for it & the l/s. I bet Marilyn had beautiful compacts and l/s cases on her dressing table!

This is one of the reasons why I love the internet. When I decided to start wearing makeup, I did my research on YouTube before ever stepping foot at a makeup counter. I knew exactly what shades I wanted to try. If they looked good on me after swatching, then I'd buy them. I'm very thankful that I never had preconceived notions or rules of what would and wouldn't look good on me. I would need to try it and see for myself. I'm not saying that I'm not open to opinions or suggestions. But it's my face, so my opinion tops anyone else's.

Ah, thank you! I guess it's a skip for me.

Lol! I didn't get it either. I was like it can't be age because I don't think Richelle would be talking about makeup for 10-year-olds.No silly, foundation shade ranges!
For instance:
Showgirl, Charmed and RR

Aw - too bad! You still may want to swatch it before you write it off.
It's just not for me - I could only get away using it for a highlighter & I have bucket loads of those!
I guarantee the bp will be the first thing to go!
