So far I have bought Dish it Up, Woo Me, and two Flaunting It.
I also bought Scandelicious, but I just don't think it looks good on me. I might exchange it for So Vain.
How does everyone like So Vain? Is it too orangey for a redhead?

Thanks so much! Still trying to find my blog 'voice'.Nice haul! You look gorgeous! Nice blog too.
I checked this all out today, and I came away with just Dish It Up (B2M). It's so much better than I expected! It looked like a nice purpley berry pink on me - not too loud, and comfortable, just like Lustres usually are. I can't wait to wear it tomorrow! FWIW, the freestanding store at the Eaton Centre was sold out of DIU at lunchtime, but they had all the other ones in stock still, surprisingly. I had to go to The Bay to get my DIU.
I was planning to get Hot n Saucy as well, but the SA said that TT's are not as moisturizing as TLC's. I JUST bought two TLC's in December and they're both open and used now, so there's no way I can go through 3 pots of lip balm before they go bad. So I'm passing on the TT's, and hoping they will get repromoted or made perm soon. I also kind of want the brown fluidline, but not enough to pay for it. LOL. As for the quads, they're all a pass for me, as are the kissables (I have Scandelicious already). Nothing else was really grabbing me, so my wallet it happy. In fact, there aren't any upcoming collections that I'm super excited about, so I need to switch my attention to other brands. Dior has been calling to me

I ventured to my MAC counter after....gasp...a FULL year to see this collection. My fave SA was there and she was like "woaa...long time lady".
Anyway, I swatched pretty much everything. I'm not so much into purchasing new quads/shadows in general anymore so the fluidlines, cheek and lip products were my focus. I'm about NW22 for reference - light medium skin, cool undertones:
Naughty Saute - was gonna get this one. This types of shades just works great on my complexion for some reason. I skipped it though as it's just too similar to other shades I have in this family (St Germain is a bit whiter based with MUCH better texture, and I hate creamsheens; Snob is slightly cooler and I prefer its satin formula. I've been though 3 Snobs if that says anything; Nars Roman Holiday is slightly warmer but again I prefer RH texture to NS).
Runaway Red - shocking but i got this one! I really do not need another red lipstick to add to my existing 23 sea of crimson shaded lip products but this one just seemed different somehow. It's like in between vampy and bright red, like at the border, perfect if you ask me. I love the texture too.
Watch me Simmer - again was going to purchase but this one is a dead ringer for Chanel Genial from 2 years ago. If you missed out on Genial, pick this one up. I was actually wearing Genial to the counter and the SA's agreed they looked identical on me. Very pretty shade for spring/summer.
Innocense Beware - meh, like I said I don't like creamsheens. MAC makes better nudes than this for my skintone, for example Woo Me k/l (promoted in this collection) or Blankety and Honeylove from their perm collection.
Tendertones - nice texture, but pass for me...I don't like dipping my finger in the jars so they won't get used.
Kissbale lips colours - I adore the formula of these and have a few from last launch. I skipped them this time though.
Fluidlines - are gorgeous and sooooo sophisticated! I picked up Added Goodness as I like a soft taupe liner but honestly kinda regret not getting the other two as well. Might get them eventually if they don't sell out.
Creamblend blushes - tried all on my face and ended up deciding on Florida as when applied softly and buffed, it gives me that glow from within look which I like. Optimistic Orange one is more of a peachy shade on me (boooo), it'll probably be better with a tan which I don't have right now. The plum one is nice but didn't peak my interest as much as Florida.
Hope this helped someone

both lipsticks look great on you!
Here is a picture of me wearing quick sizzle lipstick. The mua had just finished doing my makeup and I snapped this photo in the car so I apologize for the lighting. I am a little less pale in person and the last I checked I was nc25, but that was in the summer. Today when I got my makeup done the mua told me my match for matchmaster foundation was 1.5 so I hope that helps. Also the lipstick is a little darker in person.
The picture on the right is of me wearing watch me simmer lipstick. The lipstick is a little more orange but I had just taken off quick sizzle and it kind of stained my lips so the swatch might not be 100% accurate.
Hope these pictures helped

Back form getting my makeup done at an event and I had a good time with my comp makeup application. Honestly, seeing everything in the store didn't leave me that impressed. Like this is not going to be on my list for best of 2012. The collection was ok, the star being the lipsticks, which I wasn't really into.
I really wanted to see the Colour Added quad on, so I asked for the MA to use that. I loved it. The yellow on the inner lid, the blue in the outer lid and crease, blended with Foile and lined with Navy Stain PowerPoint eyeliner. Looked great. I loved the type of green the blue and yellow made, it was perfect for me, and as I suspected, the yellow will be a great color to blend with some of the blues I already have. It's not shimmery or sparkle-ly, so it makes a great color to mix with. I don't own any yellow shadows, so this quad filled a major void in my collection.
If anyone is looking, Navy Stain is an awesome liner to wear with PrePackaged. I have a MUFE liner in 3L that will work well too.
My friend had a look created with the Call Me Bubbles quad and it was beautiful. My one complaint with that quad is that there is no darker color in the quad to define the crease. I am glad I have Sketch, Embark, and Foile to use with those colors, but not everyone dose. I'm sure the MAs will have no problem in adding a few darker shadows on to the sales of the Call Me Bubbles quad.
I passed on all the lip products for now. Well until tomorrow when I back up Runaway Red at Bloomies with my gift card. Woo Me looks amazing with the Pink Plushglass from Vera on top so I may pick those up also. I also passed on Optimistic Orange. Seriously, I can wait for Modern Manderin? ,or whatever it's called that will be released with Tres Chic. I have also been using some orange shadows here and there as blushes lately, so that's that.
Wait, side note, did anyone notice the KLCs have a black band around the top of the tube (below the top)? The ones from last year weren't like that.

Ya a little bummed one lady bought 5 tubes of WMS from my Macy's and they only received 12 total. I think some people like to buy a lot to resell on Ebay for exorbitant costs. =( A lot of people missed out on Iris lippies and these lippies due the extremely low quantities that were sent, I mean come on only 5 WMS to my Mac store. UGGGGG annoying.

LOL sorry! I'm contemplating getting the the blushes too. I just don't feel like paying $20 for each! Midnight Snack is my fav of the three fluidlines.
I hope I don't love Chen Man but I already know that I will get both lipsticks and lipglasses.
