Thank you so much for the swatches, Erin!

Cut a Caper and Undercurrent are looking nice!

peachsuns, I missed you!!!

How was your trip???

And yeah- cut a caper looks *very* nice.

 

[ktbeta]

Wow, how exciting! I can't wait to see the nail polishes and tartan eyeshadows. Right now the things on my list are: Cut a Caper and Her Blooming Cheek. I'm trying to be good so I can afford things from Sephora F&F and the MAC December collections

Question: are the MAC preview events usually the Tuesday a week before the collection launches? If so, I think that would mean the preview party for TT is on the 19th

I like them! I will only wear them over lipstick though. I don't like them on their own as they are a bit runny. Some have said they're gritty, but I don't notice that at all (maybe because I wear them layered?). I much prefer the stronger/deeper colors though...the lighter shades I've tried haven't been nearly as nice.

Thanks so much for your info as always! Your swatches are AWESOME.

I can't wait for your nekkid skin swatches!

Layla, you have to get Undercurrent. I have brown eyes, and the green and gold just looks amazing on me. It's possibly my favourite mac product full stop. So pretty!

 

[Visi]

Thank you SO much for the swatches!!

Did you notice whether the e/s have an overspray or does the pattern go all the way through? It doesn't look like the bronze lines have affected the light gold of GC very much, so it might be a pass for me.

My list has shrunk - a lot! I'm trying to be sensible.

I want:

Pigment
Family Crest

Pearlglide Liner
Lord It Up

Blush
My Highland Honey

and maaaaybe The Fairie Glen lipstick. It looks amazing, but I've so many lip products.. I wonder how it compares with Hug Me.

Can't wait for more swatches!

 

[Pinkdollface]

Thank you Erin!
The swatches look gorgeous

I'm definitely getting some of the PG liners and some of the DGC.
From the lipsticks i like Courting Lilac and Cut a Caper the most and the blushes i like both

I'm not sure about the pigments. I have Deep Blue Green pigment and i don't use it that often because it's so dark. These pigments are also dark so i'm not sure if i would use them that often.

 

[Ilenia]

Thank you so much Erin!

I still can't decide between Cut-a-Caper and Faerie Glen tho! I can't buy both tho since I want so much other stuff. I'm hoping for the skin swatches on Tuesday night.

 

[LMD84]

thanks for the swatches Erin! that makes me happy. also i am cutting off the green shadow from my list and just getting the grey one

so you have saved me money too! woo! and cut a caper looks as stunning as i thought it would! yay!

 

[mystery]

Thanks so much Erin!

My list has pretty much stayed the same;
Family Crest, MHH blush, Black swan pg, Undercurrent pg and maybe Golden Crown, depending on skin swatches

Ah, I can't keep up with all this amazing info! I need to get over the VV rush before I can take all of this in properly!

 

[Soul Unique]

Watch this month, fly by!!

Having seen the swatches [Thanks]. I am now thinking of leaving out Dark Deed [in VV] and purchasing Deepest Wish instead, along with Family Crest, HBC, MHH and Undercurrent.

 

[bis]

Thanks a lot for your swatches Erin. You rock, as usual

As the eyeshadows are Satin, I think I will get the grey one. Can you apply the colours individually or are they basically one colour?

So far it's two of the pigments and Black Swan

 

[spunky]

thanks for your swatches erin!

my list so far is pretty big. hopefully when we know more about dupes etc i can cut some things off it

 

[chromatrix]

I will be on the road when these go on sale. Good thing I have a 3G iPad. If I miss the pigments and Black Swan I will be very sad. I figure the pigment sets will be around for a while not as worried about those.

 

[AndSparkle]

Looking at the swatches Erin posted, half of the items I wanted have now gone off my list - yey!

 

[s_lost]

After the swatches, my list it's still huge! I'm just not sure about the single es, except for Glamora Castle. I was thinking that Enviable Fun would be a medium-dark green.

Black Swan looks so close to Black Russian!

All you gals get sneak peeks and I can't even get either the F/S or the counter to even talk about anything coming up.

I wonder why she said the book didnt even come out yet???? I do remember her saying something about pre-orders on the 9th.

 

[LMD84]

my list for the colour story is super small! it's the sets that will kill my wallet!
