Ok. I am super stoked for this collection. Not sure if I'm gonna be rocking the black lip (if so it would be the cremesheen) but I definitely want at least 1 MES, the CCB in black! Gonna be rocking the sexy rocker eye

However, I have to be honest, I am not digging the promo images. I was hoping they'd make black look do-able in a chic way, but to me they just scream "juvenile". It looks like it's marketed for younger/teenagers. IDK, I am probably the only one who thinks this way, but there you go.

Wow, I wonder if they went to any specktra girls??? I'd love to see swatches.

And props to the buyers for stimulating the economy I guess, hahaha.

No, I feel that way to. I was hoping it would be more like "elegant" black, not so gothic. But I still love this collection.

Third. Whenever I'm referencing the "dark lip" for Fall, I try to refer to pictures from other promos. MAC's is just too reminiscent of the gothic, "emo" craze for me. When I think of a dark lip, I want it to be sophisticated and elegant (high fashion? I don't know).. otherwise it sounds silly.

I really hope the eyeshadows are quite pigmented!. I have small almond shaped eyes that's slightly deepset, so I could only use it sparingly in the crease. I wanted to love NARS similar range of blacks (Nightbreed, etc) but they all looked, well, black on first swatch. You had to really 'build' to even see a hint of the colour they had in them.

I'm going to be so broke in fall! First I'm going to spend a crazy amount of money with Love that Look and as soon as my wallet recovered I'm getting all of the MES, the Greasepaintthingy and the VAE! Sometimes it really sucks being a poor college student!
