That's possibly the lamest reason ever to get a lipstick, but whatever. I guess I'm just a big lame. Can't wait for the shadows, to see how they look in practice. I may be down to getting one palette. Play It Cool is absolutely definite (purple freak), but Reelers & Rockers looks a little off what I was hoping. I like the metallic finishes, but I can get the silver from Platinum pigment and one of the gold swatches looks really green. Whee. I've never been excited for a holiday collection before, but this is making up for it.

You sound like a girl after my own heart! I want Faerie Glen just for the name, I want Play it Cool for the purples (and hold my gaze) and I'm super excited for the tartan shadows!

This is probably no reconciliation at all but: I am at least just as lame as you are!!! Names totally get to me too - but as long as you really like the product behind it as well, I think it's alright... (at least that is what I am telling myself

)

Maybe I wouldn't freak out over the immense amount of money I am gonna spend on cosmetics, probably all in one day, just for this collection if the names didn't totally get me too (I probably wouldn't want The fairy Glen if it was called "Snobby Princess"...or would I??

). but I am probably even lamer than you!! Yeah, yeah, MAC's marketing totally gets me this time... well done!!!

I'm also skipping the single shadows, lipsticks, dg cremes and lip kit after all. Just the must have items for me. Then if some items are still around later, I may pick them up. So I want: The Family Crest pigment Black Swan Pearlglide Style Clan Nail Lacquer (I saw this in the store and it's gorgeous) 6 Beauties Play It Cool Palette (my first Mac palette!) A Triumphant Blush Face Kit No pigment or lipglass sets. I have to be practical. I don't even use the ones I bought last year. So, that's all I want right, right now. I'm going to see if I can pay for a couple of those items at an NYC store this weekend.

you know you'll probably end up getting moonlight night anyway though right?

True that.

For UK peeps, I asked the Birmingham MUA today, and she said it comes out in stores on the first Thursday of November

Boo @ the lip palettes!!! Grr.

But, I think I may need Glamora Castle again, if not just for the name.

And Sir Teddy looks cuter in every pic.

Thanks for finding those, rowandamia!!!!

OMG!! Pictures of the eyeshadows!! Im loving the plaid imprint on them!

I like the look of Glamora Castle...cuckoo for teal here

...though I have a grey es from GMLOL collec that I haven't used yet (!?)

I like the color of the Semi-Precious es...I have to see swatches of it though before it goes on the to-buy list...

 

[Tat2dbeauty07]

I just added semi-precious to my list!

Hmm...wonder how much lip product is in each individual section? Wonder if you could hit bottom of the pan quickly...

 

[atwingirl]

Does anyone know what date this will go online?

 

[juicycouture328]

^That's what I'm wondering too. I can only buy MAC online due to my location.

But from seeing the swatches, I think I'm gonna love this whole collection. looks uber pretty.

 

[atwingirl]

I just prefer ordering online for some collections. My counter does not do previews or launch parties.

I would assume about the same as every other holiday lip palette they put out every year. It's not like there's a full tube of lipstick in each well, but there's a decent amount.

It's generally two days before it goes up for sale in-store.
