At first I thought mink & sable was gonna be one of my must haves, but after seeing the LJ comparison someone did of them and karlasugar's swatch this morning... It seems like it would be pointless for me to own both.
Also does anyone know how similar grand entrance and naked lunch are? tia!

Could you or anyone compare Lotusland to Mancatcher or to the Pandemonium Quad light purple. They look similiar.
I am addicted to purples, lavendah's and I am trying to knock the addiction off.

I agree that the swatches of Smoke and Diamonds look very similar to Diamond Lil, which is good news for greyed taupe lovers.
I wonder how it compares to the infamous Erika F. by Lancome?
I'm interested in Star by Night and Talent Pool. Maybe Grand Entrance too. I'm planning to B2M for these, so I'm keeping it down to just a couple out of this collection.
I'm mostly interested in the Kohl Powers and will probably pick one of ea. color up this time around. Maybe two of Feline, because nothing else comes close to this color. It is the blackhole of eye liners - nothing is darker, really. I so wish MAC would make these permanent or at least rotate them in and out like they're doing with the MSFs and MES now. The thought of running out of Feline terrifies me.

I think the Kohl Powers are great. I love the uniqueness of the colors and the ease with which they apply (so smooth!) the most. I think some people gave the k/p's an undeserved ill reputation because they said they smeared on them. These are KOHL pencils and therefore are formulated to be easy to smudge. If you're really oily then I can see where you might have a problem and, as such, you might have to use some kind of primer at the lashline, but I don't think a lot of folks understand the concept behind eye kohls.
I must say, though, Urban Decays 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils have a similar formula, come in some beautiful colors, and definitely stay put. Check them out as well.

Am I the only one that thinks the promo pic is a bit shoddy for MAC's standards? I mean, I know the model has "normal" skin but it really bugs me that you can see her clogged pores. Maybe I'm a special snowflake but I think that they should have done something with her skin. I mean, does that promo make you think that MAC would make good face products????

Omg I am feeling the same way and I keep feeling my forehead to see if I have a fever.
I just don't feel like myself. I don't want any of the upcoming collections either EXCEPT for Manish's and that too is just a maybe.

Oh nevermind, I forgot that Feline is being repromoted! I am definitely going to get 2 of those at the most.

These swatches have me thinking, which is the last thing I need to do, lol! Smoke & Diamonds, Go, and Grand Entrance are definites for me. I just need those colors and there's no way around it. Top Hat is right up there, too. However, I'm not quite convinced on Lotusland, Mink & Sable, and Bold & Brazen. Lotusland is just too pink for me...I don't like my lilacs that pink. And I'm wondering how close Bold & Brazen is to any of MACs other oranges (like Firespot, Off the Radar, etc...). As for Mink & Sable...it's pretty, but I just don't know.

The swatches are looking gooood! Smoke & Diamonds looks hot! That is definitely at the top of my list. I've also decided on Sunset B, Grand Entrance and Bold and Brazen. Glamour Check looks interesting as well, but I'll have to wait and see this before I decide. I have just enough empties to get all of these through B2M, yay!
