OMG! Now I **have** to get one! I'll most likely get A Triumphant Blush face palette. From the reviews it seemed like it would be a very good face palette for my skintone, and I don't have any of the colors yet. Perhaps I could even skip buying Nars Gina because of MAC Melba?

Gosh, now I have to remake my list again... I'm getting Black Line & Undercurrent pearlglides for sure.
Probably going to have to skip the pigments, or at least wait until next payday and keep my fingers crossed that it's still available by then. Also unless Cut a Caper l/s is very pretty, I'm going to have to wait to get it as well.
I hope I can be strong in resisting the bags

OT: I love your new profil pic, Lou. You're very pretty!

black swan p/g
undercurrent back up
later, moonlight night, the family crest pigments
b2m courting lilac

Last year the eye palettes/cheek palettes were £29.50 and the lip glosses were £24( i remember coz my sis bought it for me and bitched about paying £24 for lipgloss!) and i think the pigment/liner sets were £23 and the pigments set £27?. It was my first xmas collection last year so i could be wrong. I want to budget and know the prices too.

 

[sinergy]

cant wait for more pics myself..but as for right now, i am really wanting all three full sized pigments. actually my list as a whole is still pretty big, hopefully more pics will cut it down lol.

hopefully it hasnt gone up this year, i doubt i will be able to afford everything i want, but i have some savings, so it can be my early xmas present

I'm getting my things for xmas pressies but i have to buy them myself and then when i get my money at christmas, pay myself back. I prob won't be able to get everything i'd like as i have xmas pressies for family to pay for too but its better than missing out on them.

 

[banana1234]

definitely, i will be a bit skint for a month but i have got my boyfriends christmas present already and that's the most expensive, my family arent into expensive gifts, so the presents i'm getting them wont bankrupt me too much, its just a lot of them

Review of a brush set:
http://www.musingsofamuse.com/2010/...rush-collection-review-photos.html#more-25685

The 252SE brush in that collection doesn't look that bad, the one i have from the previous summers brush set (with the black and white flowers) is so hard and scratchy i've used it once. I want the 187 brush and i've lost my 219SE but i'd rather pay the extra £10 and buy those two brushes fs instead.

 

[LMD84]

i love the bag! but not interested in the brushes at all!

I can't believe I'm not getting a blush from this Collection! Which is good since I have waaay too many as it is. And I'm on the hunt for Strada even though it's discontinued, I really want to try it. The 2 new pigments is what I'm really excited about!

 

[Susanne]

I will save some money for two new full-sized brushes when being in NY again next spring. I have the 116 and 138 on my list

 

[laylalovesmac]

There are a few online companies I want to order from, so I'm cutting this back. But, not sad about it, surprisingly. It feels good!

Still just getting the two new pigments and TFG from color story and chapter 1. I've decided I may B2M for a b/u of The Faerie Glen, but I won't be going crazy with backups like I thought.

As far as the sets go, my family has been hounding me for gift ides, so I gave them the pink lipglass set, the neutral lipglass set, the cool pigment set, and the smokey pigment set. I want all of them equally, to be honest, so I've told them that anything from that list will make me happy.

So I'll be walking away $53.50 poorer, but that is such a relief based on how big my old list was.

 

[hilaryrose]

Humph! I'm getting less and less excited about this collection as time goes on

I definitely have to go into my local MAC to swatch HBC and a few of the lip products, but the only thing I absolutely must have is the Beauties Play It Cool eyeshadow kit. Bummer!
I also wish there was another eye pigment bag. I think if they had released a pigment bag with TFC we would all be chomping at the bit for it!
Still going to look at the Violet My Love bag, though.
But - I can't say enough about how AWESOME the packaging is. Too bad I can't them on their own. I'll probably end up buying a lip kit just for the tin, or one of the brush bags just for the bag!

So, I went by the counter during lunch. The MA had the collection out and they were doing preorders. I'm still not sure but, as of today I have a preorder for:

The Family Crest
Her Blooming Cheek
6 Reelers & Rockers
6 Beauties Play It Cool

Hark the Heraldry Face Kit is so pretty. I have never purchased a Christmas palette but I'm really excited about the two I have on hold.

 

[Icecaramellatte]

I stopped by my Mac Store today and I saw none of the Holiday items out. There were only 2 SAs there and they were pretty busy so I decided not to ask. I'm thinking of not doing the online thing this time around and just going to the store on launch day. I may go back later this week and see about pre-order but isn't this coming out next week?

 

[dxgirly]

Sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop.... but can someone tell me why this collection has two US release dates? I'd like to pick up a few things if I can.

I just pre-ordered my stuff so that I don't have to worry about it selling out, since I won't be able to pick up until 11/4. My store let me purchase a gift card in the exact amount of my items and then they'll ring me up on the 28th and have everything waiting for me---hooray.

For the 28th, I got :

Radiant Jewels


The Faerie Glen


GlamoraCastle


Semi-Precious


Black Swan


Play It Cool palette


The sets don't come out until 11/4, so I've got my pre-order in for those, which I'll pay for when I pick up part 1 on 11/4.

Sassy PINK Lassies lipglass set
Sassy CORAL Lassies lipglass set

YAY Me !!! The only boo-hiss was that I wanted to use my B2M for my lipstick, but they said now NO LE items......figures, I've been saving my B2M all summer.....oh well, I'll just have to go through my PERM wish list and see what I want to redeem for.
