We should see more swatches next week with the European release. I will also try to post some swatches soon when I have more time.

Im in Brooklyn and my local store in Brooklyn Heights is having an unveiling party on the 15th. I was invited yesterday. They also mentioned that they were the only MAC store in NYC doing it.
I just called them this morning to ask about Fashion Sets then I asked if they'd be having a launch party for Hey Sailor,the MA on the phone said yes and asked me if I wanted to go, I said yes; maybe I'll see ya there

Just back from Mac. I reserved my stuff to be picked up next Wed. I saw everything, but swatched only the liners and lippies.

L/S - getting RR and S la V. S la V is really lovely, redder than Neon Orange. Also TCaS looked interesting after all. Maybe I should get it? S! is sheer and... oh, well. It would be difficult for me to put on. I always have issues with light corals.
L/G - BL is metallic(ish)! I think it is the same as the one that came out with the same name (!) in a mini set last(?) Holiday. I'll get that and the orange and red ones.
E/S - getting all but CA. The green really is a bright green, quite similar to the liner (did not compare though).
Blushes: Au contraire to my swatch impressions last week, LA looked really light/lpale and FF somewhat muted/not bright. But, as we have learned, they might be darker/brighter once you put them on. Getting both of course.
Eye liners - getting the gold and green ones. The navy liner also has a nice metallic sheen.
Lip liners - getting the coral liner. I wonder if I should get the nude one too? I don't do nudes, but since it's a PLLP it could be a good base.

THESE PICTURES ARE FOR SPECKTRA ONLY! DO NOT COPY!


Some comparisons:
Runaway Red (l) - RR (r), TCaS (top)- Soft Sable (bottom), S la V (top)- Neon Orange (bottom)

Thanks so much for these! RR and SLV will definitely be mine, as well as the green eyeliner and coral lipliner probably. Since I bought 6 blushes this month, I think I'll skip the ones from this collection. I think I can get away with only buying 4 or 5 items from this.

That'll be great! What time did she put you down for? They seem to be doing it by appointments this time around.

I am a bit disappointed. I hoped Sail la Vie was a satin orange. If it turns more reddish it may indeed come close to Scarlet Ibis.

Hmmm Sail La Vie looks like Scarlet Ibis...kinda sorta. Definitely getting Red Racer!
They do seem a bit similar. I passed on that one, so I may just grab this. Red Racer looks interesting. Have to try that out. Still searching for a red I love aside from Ruby Woo

I don't have the swatches any more, but Neon Orange and Sail la Vie are quite similar compared to the difference between Sail la Vie and Scarlet Iibs. SI is darker and redder, even darker and redder than Red Racer.

Sail la Vie is much nicer IRL than in the pictures. It is brighter (orange).

You've got me interested again!

MRV have you tried prolongwear bronzers?

No (I saw them in pan only), but thank you for reminding that I forgot to book an appointment to try them on. I will try to do this next Wednesday, but I'm no bronzer expert I'm afraid.

Oh well.. I think this collection isn't for me, except the bronzers and the light blush! Thanks for the swatches!
