I just realized today that I need something like Glamora Castle... Just before I stumbled across it in a blog. So... That's on my list now. I was hoping I'd end up liking at least one shadow, I like the tartan print on them.

Does anyone know if the darkest colour in PIC is a black or a dark dark blue? I can't tell! Thx!

You have so many of the same things on your list as mine! I wish I could get both TOT and BPIC but I can't so I'm probably gonna have to leave TOT because I have similar colours already. I really want to see Glamora Castle swatched on skin! I have high hopes for it.

I love the look of the shadows! I'm really looking forward to seeing this collection in person now. If the colours run all the way through the shadow, that'll be brilliant!

It"s So Prettty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm Gonna Dieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't decide between the eye palettes, they all look pretty good to me. I'm loving every one of the single eyeshadows, and I would like to try the pigments, not as sure how those will turn out on me though.
I also want to get two of the glosses.

Pauses for a group hug with everyone who's prone to buying things just for the names...

Current list is:

Cut A Caper
The Faerie Glen
Deepest Wish (yes, I have 3,728 dark lipsticks, so what??)
Courting Lilac
Moonlit Night
Family Crest
Black Swan/ Black Line (still not decided)
Play It Cool
Naughty Little vices

I can't really conscience Reelers & Rockers because the colours don't strike me as that original, despite the presence of so many veluxe pearls...

it may be because its swatched next to the darker purples, making it look alot lighter than when it was swatched on its own.

My MAC store is not having a launch party for this collection. Oh, well. I'm ordering online when it comes up. This collection is going to be awesome! It reminds me of "Red" She Said all over again!

 

[laylalovesmac]

I've decided to cut the pigment sets and just get the gloss sets. I don't like all of the pigment shades, so I'll just buy the ones I have really been wanting later. I'm surprised at how much I've been able to chop.

oh wow! i should really break out pte again then! i havent used it months and i remembered it as being kinda dry and blah when use without a mixing medium!

 

[AndSparkle]

For me PTE went kinda dusty looking if I used it dry :S Then again, I've only had it a few days, I need to try more things with it

i bought mine when it came out last year and i havent used it as much as i should have. although it is very similar to grape and i tend to use that as my go to dark purple pigment

Thanks to gift cards and birthday money this year again there will be one big present for me:

The holiday collection. Yay!

 

[Modmom]

I'm so sorry if this has been asked and answered (and I'm sure in 120 pages it has been

) but when do the Nordstrom exclusive kits come out? Same day as the collection launch?
I live in Canada so no Nordstrom stores here. Guess I'll be bugging one of my US friends or ordering online. I want the kit with Fresco Rose pp!!

They aren't Nordstrom exclusive but store and online exclusive in the US. That was a wrong info first.

And I guess they come out in October with the first release.

is it just me or do these eyeshadows look more pastel-ly and light to everyone? i was sorta hoping by the descriptions and the fact that it's a fall/winter collection that the colors would be really pigmented, dark, and deep.

 

[color_lover456]

My list:


Lipstick US $14.50
Cut a Caper- mid tone peachy pink (lustre)
The Faerie Glen- pale neutral pink (lustre)
Courting Lilac- sheer lilac mauve with soft gold pearl (glaze)

Dazzleglass Creme US $18
Radiant Jewels- dark sparkly magenta
Passing Fancy- bright orange coral with soft pearl


i'm really undecided about the eyeshadows...so far only "a wish come true" and "semi-precious" sound good to me, depending on how pastel-ly they come out (no pastels please!) i might end up getting all, i might end up getting two of each, but right now i am underwhelmed.
Eyeshadow- US $19.50
Golden Crown- light gold with bronze tartan striping
A Wish Come True- dirty mauve with bubblegum pink tartan striping
Follow Your Fantasy- mid-tone peach with chocolate tartan striping
Enviably Fun- grass green with dark green tartan striping
Semi- Precious- aubergine with chocolate tartan striping
Glamora Castle- dark grey with teal tartan striping

Pigment US$19.50
x2 Moonlight Night- blackened teal with teal pearl
x2 The Family Crest- blackend bronze with bronze pearl

Pearlglide Intense eye liner US$14.50
x2 Black Swan- black with pearl
Lord it Up- bronze with pearl

Powder Blush US$18.50
Her Blooming Cheek- bright iridescent blue pink (frost)
x2 My Highland Honey- bright coral with soft gold pearl (frost)
