This image, which I'm assuming was posted SOMEWHERE deep in the thread, says that they'll be $16.50. Also based on that swatch, I think I could skip Love Goddess. It looks pretty similar to Moxie.

Let's see. $16.50 x 8 = ...

I don't wear red or orange lipstick or nail polish, or black or grey eye makeup, so most of this collection is not for me. But there are a few things i want to test...

Lipstick: Pure Zen - Warm nude (Cremesheen) - - - i'm still searching for a nude i like on me - could this be the one?

Eyeshadow: Preferred Blonde - Pale champagne beige (Veluxe Pearl)
Eyeshadow: How to Marry - Soft White (Veluxe Pearl)
- - - i suspect these are close to shadows i already have, but they're worth a look

Beauty Powder: Forever Marilyn - Sheer pale peach highlighter - - - i have and like Light Sunshine, so i probably don't need this one
Powder Blush: The Perfect Cheek - Neutral pink beige (Matte) - - - i have and like Pink Cult, so i probably don't need this one

Pure Zen is a new permanent shade with the Cremesheen+Pearl collection. You can test it now.

It's a big relief to me that I won't need much from this collection. 2 or 3 lipsticks max, and I won't be backing anything up. Love Goddess will work on me for sure, but both Deeply Adored and Charmed I'm Sure might be too neutral red to look good - if a red doesn't lean strongly orange or blue it can make me look dowdy. Even Fire Sign is a little iffy on me - it's just the texture saves it from looking drab. Scarlet Ibis and Runaway Red were the best reds I've had in years and I've got BUs of them both, so I don't have a lot of motivation to improve on perfection.

I spent ridiculous amounts on Heavenly Creatures and didn't exactly go too easy on any of the other recent collections, so just one or two things here and there for the next few collections is a breath of fresh air for my wallet.

Not to mention, I have a sneaking suspicion that this year's holiday collections will be extra nice and there may even be an extra collection of just sexy night-time glamorous products squeezed in there somewhere in late October/November. I can bide my time.

I have and love Light Sunshine as well. I may skip Forever Marilyn BP because I like pink highlighters better. Light Sunshine was described as a “pastel neutral pink with soft gold and pink sparkles.” Today, I wore Play It Proper.

I have skipped The Perfect Cheek before. I might skip it again.

I'm still excited to see the collection.

I highly doubt it. Special Packaging + Licensed Images (think Disney Collaboration) and that = NO discount I fear! If we do... I will be VERY pleasantly surprised!

Me too, but the chances are pretty slim.

I'm with ya girl! I'm so excited to hear more about the holiday collection. I've def been taking it easy on collections lately though. My bosses are jerks and only been giving me 1 and/or 2 shifts a week! My phone is off, my internet and cable. not to mention my CC bills. I need to catch up big time!
I think I'm just getting the BP and Love Goddess

must be good!

I want 2 of the Deeply Adored lipsticks. I have to see the actual pigments but I might want that light tanish one. It looks kinda like this LE pigment I used as a highlighter all the time before I ran out.

 

[baghdad81]

I am still interested in the lipsticks but not the eyeshadows or the BP and blushes. WE shall see how unique they are to merit having them!

 

[Genn]

I have pure zen now but I may buy one a MM one for my mother. I want Pink Goddess and both the blushes but now im unsure of the eyeshadows. The beauty powder I may get for my daughter in law.

I have been waiting in anticipation for the release of the Marilyn Collection ever since we got the color story. I am really only interested in the two darker red lipsticks. However, after seeing the swatches we have so far, I am like a few others in here regarding them. They aren't blowing me away. Right now, I might only be interested in Deeply Adored but will probably get Charmed I'm Sure anyways. I am somewhat interested in Love Goddess (depending on if it is deep enough in color or not) but we can't seem to get a swatch of that one. Hmph.

 

[texasmommy]

Thanks for the swatches! I might only get two things as of now, The Perfect Cheek and Preferred Blonde. Idk, like with most collections I keep changing my mind.

[Piarpreet]

i think one blush 1-2 lippies and the bp

What's on your wish list?

 

[OctoberViolet]

Wow! Oh how I

Marilyn. Very excited. I'm sticking to my three lippies & I will probably skip the rest, but... one never knows.

 

[rubytitania]

My more-or-less-final list:

Deeply Adored
Charmed I'm Sure
Legendary
Forever Marilyn

I already have Scarlet Ibis, Redd, Cherry, Smolder and the Penultimate liner, and I will pick up Pure Zen in regular packaging

 

[martiangurll]

Wonder if How To Marry will be similar to the beloved and much missed Solar White???

 

[MACcrazy]

I'm probably just going to get a l/s or two just because I want to have a red marilyn monroe l/s and the beauty powder. The rest is still maybe

 

[MACina]

I am not sure but I think that HTM is "just" white and does not have the golden shimmer that Solar White has got.

Wonder if How To Marry will be similar to the beloved and much missed Solar White???

I got an invite and it's gorgeous! It's printed and embossed on very heavy card stock. It's a great keepsake/souvenir.
