Are you mocking me? You have been extremely kind, instead, in explaining. I am the one with the different language, so it is obvious I don't understand everything. It is not your fault at all

By the way, does anyone know why the colour story is not out yet? I absolutely have to write down my list (pigments

)!

Why is it so late this year?

I really wanna write my list, too. Also, I need to budget for VV- if I end up not liking much from this, I'd rather get a few of Cruella's items that are on my maybe list.

yes i love that! just like tins of shortbread biscuits

and thanks for the link sleepyhead. i guess i wont make up my mind on the palettes until i see swatches!

same here. I've pre-ordered the pigments and 2 e/s, but I was thinking about the beauty powder and the polishes... However, I just would like to know how many cosmetics I am going to buy in the next months: I for sure would skip beauty powder and polishes if I can buy one or two pigment sets after 2 months!

 

[pinkita]

ohh.. i don´t like the packaging..

 

[sss215]

I am not feeling anything AT ALL right now. I totally have to wait and see it all. Not even excited about it.

Me too. I hate tartan. Plus I supposed the tartan colours should recall the colours of the cosmetics inside but I don't see any correspondence...

It is super cute but I am always broke as a joke after what I affectionately refer to as "the holiday psychosis" so this is a good idea--waiting until the CCO gets them (they always have tons) except for the smokey/grays palette--think that will sell out but there are always the re-gifters who don't love and wanna sell...

Now I'm slowly drifting back to not interested - mainly because of the plaid packaging. Right now I'm interested in one or two pigment set(s) (I hope that one brown one isn't chocolate brown, because I already have it and hardly ever use it) and the set with fluidline, brush, teal(?) pigment and mini mascara. I'm going to need another black fluidline at some point (read: next summer) and I don't mind getting the new liner brush and the pigment as well. I'm curious to see to which way my mind changes after I see some swatches and the product names.

Yes, we need some swatches. Packaging may pique my interest, but I have to be able to love the product!

Yes, yes! This is a bit of a tease, they know we are lusting after the Lav Whip and how quickly the last purple lippy flew off those shelves!

I thought that this was one of the regular colour story pieces- Cut a Caper. Looking forward to swatches of that!

ok, so thats where its going to be. Thanks & I couldn't remember the name

 

[LittleMaryJane]

I really like most of the names of things. Is the list that was posted for sure names or WNs?

So far for sure I want the plaid pallet and Family Crest.

 

[markeesi]

I just realised there aren't any lip palettes.. not that I've ever cared for them

I'm happy there isn't an overload of stuff here like previous years.

 

[MzzRach]

They normally do Viva Glam lip palettes - which are great because they are for a fantastic cause, but I never use lip palettes, so I never get them.

Not sure how well they sell, maybe they decided to skip them this year?

You're right. No VG palettes this year (unless they are coming out separately). I haven't cared for them much in the past, but I do wish they would do another one that has all of the shades in one compact. The one I have (from years ago) is about gone.

 

[Susanne]

My counter had the Viva Glam palettes from the holiday collection for many months!
I don't buy them - I don't like lip products in palette form.

I don't think they sell all that well. If they did a VG lip bag instead of a palette, I'd definitely consider.

My counter STILL has the lip palettes from the Holiday collection

 

[LMD84]
