Thanks so much for suggesting this and for making me pull out my Creamola and give it another try. I love it now!

Boo, I hesitated on getting another 3N lipstick and here in Canada its the only thing sold out so far on MACcosmetics.com. Get it while you can, most people will NOT be disappointed!
And an aside question: weren't the soft ochre and quite natural paintpots supposed to be LE? I see on both the US and Canadian sites they don't have the LE triangle symbol. Perhaps this is another mistake on their part or are these perm?

But I don't know if its a keeper.

I'm so sorry, was I asleep when I read/wrote this?! I made a BIG mistake; I don't have 4N lipglass, I have 2N lipglass.
2N is the one that is similar to Poetic License & Illicit.
Ladies I appologize for my error & any inconvenience this may have caused.

I have to admit I'm a bit biased because all the colors mentioned above are my favorites.

AUGH!!!!! I made a big mistake! I have 2N l/g not 4N!

I have a Nordie's gift card, and thinking about going back to buy an extra 1N, extra 2N, and I want to give 3N l/s a shot. When i swatched 3N, it was slightly reminiscent of Pink Plaid, so I passed on it in an effort to be cost conscious.
I have the 1N and 2N lip glosses...and love it, but glosses are easier to replicate then lipstick, so I won't buy any extras.
Question is...how long do you think I could keep my extra stash? I didn't want it expiring before I get to it.

I thought so too! They wouldn't have been on my list if I knew they'd be made perm, I'd get some e/s instead. Part of me hopes they are perm tho, b/c Soft Ochre's so nice!
I checked on the US site and the triangle isn't there either, so maybe those two are there to stay after all?

I'm really liking Quite Natural as a base for a smoky eye.

Bah! I'm paying back my sis for getting them for me! I wish my cash was going towards the shadows instead. Ah well, I know they'll be put to good use.
OT: Now, if only they could make Graphic Brown f/l perm...

I got my Neutral Pink e/s in the mail the other day and IMO it is a dead ringer for Nobility in the Royal Assets Warm Eyes Palette. Okay, there might be a very slight difference, but it's close enough that if you want to save the $ for a different color you could. I wish I had. In fact, several of the e/s shades in the N Collection, which I love by the way, seem similar to the shades in the Royal Assets Warm and Smoked Eye Shadow Palettes. I've just ordered Modest Tone and hope it isn't too similar to Seedling from Strange Hybrid.
I'm also wondering about:
Nanogold - Maid of Honor (first 3 from Cool Eyes Palette)
Rich Flesh - Majestic
Remotely Grey - Palatiial
Dark Edge - Showstopper (from Warm Eyes Palette)
I also got the 2N l/s. It's very pretty and I don't have anything quite like it. I like to wear Out for Fun l/g over it for some sparkle.

I bought the Medium Dark and its actually my skin tone. Because it blends in well and I am a NC35. I tried on Medium Deep and it was slightly darker for me.

I can tell you that Modest Tone isn't anything like Seedling. Modest Tone was more in the vein of a ricepaper, on my skin. Seedling is more taupe and almost olive.
If the Showstopper you are speaking of is the same as the one in the Smoking Eyes quad then no it's different from Dark Edge. Dark Egde is darker and more Grey. It actually looks just like Brun.

i loved this collection on a whole. the colors looked so beautiful together. i had to restrain myself however, because though they looked great sitting there, i knew some of them would not go well with my skintone.
that aside, i ended up getting 3N lipglass, warmed MSF and neutral pink eyeshadow. i LOVE every item that i got. this was my first MSF, it is gorgeous, it blends well with my skin providing the perfect highlight. 3N lipglass is beautiful also. it's medium caramel brown w/ gold shimmer. neutral pink is fantastic! a beautiful pale pink that lends for a classy neutral look.

I ended up with way more of this collection than I thought I would. I am definitely not a neutral kind of girl but I threw up a challenge to my fave MAC MAs at Seattle downtown Nordies to convince me I could wear this collection and they came through with flying colors (for reference NC 20 green eyes with light brown hair). I got:
MSF in Light Flush
Soft Ochre pp
Nanogold e/s
Dark Edge e/s
Neutral Pink e/s
1N l/s
2N l/g
4N l/g
Revitalizing Water
And I love all of it. Have spent the weekend trying to think of innovative ways to incorporate pieces of this collection with my favorite more funky colors (hello beloved Crimsonaire Shadestick and Stars N Rockets e/s LOL). Am also thinking about heading back for Warmed MSF (although I usually embrace my pale side this is calling to me) as well as the 2N and 5N lippies. Do you think these will work on me as well? TIA!
