So... I was able to preview the collection today and here is what I thought from what I remember/stood out.
Glosses:
Triple Yum: My favorite out of the five. Holy! It looks SO pretty on top of Lollipop Loving
Just Dessert: A very pretty pink. Looks LOVELY on top of the new Viva Glam l/s!
Tasty: A very bright pink l/g.. I guess you can pair it with Saint Germain. My MA paired it with Bubbly
Lipstick:
Bubbly: What can I say about this lipstick? I hate it. I mean really.. I don't like it. It literally looks like Phloof! rubbed all over my lips. YUCK.
Saint Germain: I think it's kinda similar to Melrose Mood from the Heatherette collection, but this is a bit more creamier, not as matte. From what I remember it was a bit more wearable than Melrose Mood. I love the texture.
Shadow:
Dear Cupcake: A very nice pastel pink.. I don't think MAC has anything like it.. I thought Sushi Flower was similar but it's not. It's just different, beautiful, and a pure pastel pink.
MSF:
Refined: OMG beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's so niceeeeeeeee.. aka I LOVE IT!
Perfect Topping: It's so pretty in person. Great to use as a highlight
Polish:
Peppermint Patti: A pretty mint green polish. You would probably need 2-3 coats, it's kinda streaky.
Seasonal Peach: Lovely color. Looks very "put together" and classic.
Shadesticks:
Red Velvet: Funny name for something not even red. hahaha.. It's pink. Name it Pink Velvet. hahaha.. I grabbed it because I have nothing as close as R.V. for a base.
Cake Shop.: It's not a true BAM green. More of a greyish/greenish in between color. Would be a great base for any green shadow.
FYI, I've posted some swatches on the swatch thread.

Thanks Patty! I'm going to go check it out right now. I've been waiting for swatches. What are you getting? Any thoughts on the shadesticks?

Patty - Wait, Lemon Chiffon ended up being the green pewter color? ? So that means Cake Shop is the golden yellow color? Are you sure it's not switched around?

Welcome!
My thoughts on the shadesticks is that they are lovely. I really do believe that they are creamier than the original ones. I love them
My MA put Butternutty as a base + Sugarshot on top and looked gorgeous!
LMAO Do I have to answer your question about what I'm getting?! I mean do I?????????????
hahahahaha...

Thanks for the review patty0411!
I'm glad the Tri-Coloured glosses are nice! I'm so mixed up with the colours and names so I'll just go to the counter and pick one that I like. Also, from your swatches Cakeshop looks AMAZING! My god, I think that will be coming home with me! Hopefully when I swatch it, it'll be the greenish grey that I want

Thanks so much. I don't own any shadesticks and have been hoping to hear good news about these. For sure a couple of these are coming home with me.
And yeah, what are you getting? I'm finally getting exciting about this collection and want to know what others are getting. It might sway me.

To anyone who's seen sweet thing l/s in person: does it look a lot like girl about town or lickable (except the pearl in sweet thing)? I own GAT and thinking about getting lickable too but if sweet thing is prettier or more different from GAT than lickable is I'll wait and get that one instead
I wanted bubbles but now it's off my list, will probably look awful on me I'm getting sugarshot e/s, stars n' rockets e/s, lollipop loving l/s, maybe sweet thing l/s and I might need perfect topping MSF... Aquavert is pretty but I own warm chill so I'll skip it. Will wait for swatches though until I decide, since sugarsweet isn't released in Sweden until april 15th... booh! I want to get it next week too
HK hasn't even arrived here yet, I'm picking up my stuff this sunday...

okie dokie so i just got to preview the collection from my fav ma and i know ever review is different so heres my take.
shadesticks: nice a creamy with great color payoff. my fav is red velvet by far it will make an amazing base for anything pink. my ma put dear cupcake over it and it looked soo yummy. i thought cake shop was too greyish but looked pretty with aquavert on top. they were all nice but i only pre ordered red velvet.
lipsticks: i have lollipop lovin so i didn't look at it or saint german as i have melrose mood and have yet to really wear it but i did look at bubbles and sweet thing. sweet thing is crazy sheer on me. and nice pink but sheer i like my girl about town more. i love bubbles! woo i love light light colors cause i always have crazy eyes and i think this will be one more to add to the rotation so i got it as well.
eyeshadows: aquavert was lovely but i have warm chill and it shows up surprisingly well on me so i passed but it does look good with cakeshop. sugarshot was pretty but didn't strike me as something i needed to have as i have alot of light highlight colors already. dear cupcake went on the list as it is way less gold then sushi flower. is you love gold in you e/s then this is not you so much but i'm a silver kinda girl so it went well on me. its very light by it self but looks amazing with red velvet. stars and rockets i have so i didn't look.
MSFs: pretty pretty. i got perfect topping as it has the prettiest lavender color veins ever! it is very sparkly so it might not be for you if you don't love glits but it looked great on me. refined on me was a bit orangey but then again i'm not tan like i am in the summer so it would be a good summer color but i passed.
lipglosses: all i can say is OMG. they had some crazy color payoff for me. they came out rich and creamy and so glittery. my favs were triple yum, just desserts and consume me. consume me reminded my of the swatches of goldyrocks d/g but not so sparkly. they all gave off a great color on my and was easy to tell them apart.
i can't wait to pick everything up! i'm nc20 hope this helps!

I got to preview this too today. The MA was kinda excited to show me stuff and he was opening products to make into testers for me to try. I think they must have just got this stuff in.
I wasn't too familiar with the collection before I went, so this is all I remember:
Shadesticks - The pinky one is really nice! I liked the creamy white(?) one too.
MSFs - Tried these both on me. I'm NC40 and they are very very sheer on me but glowy. Refined is alot more warm sheened and the Perfect topping was more neutral, maybe maybe cool sheen. Both had no real color whatsoever on me but would be good highlighters. Perfect topping is super pretty in the pan! I will probably get at least one of them, possibly both.
Eye Shadow - Aquavert was lovely as usual. Pigmented mint green. I passed on this the first time but I might pick this up this time. Sugarshot was a nice cream sparkly color but kinda bumpy in the pan and going on, chunky I mean. Dear Cupcake sat on my skin, we didn't try it over the shadestick though so that might make it better. I don't know if I"d be able to pull off this color, for me, I like deeper reds/pinks for my skintone like NARS Emmanuelle.
Lipsticks - I saw Bubbles, which I didn't try on my lips but the MA said it would be pretty to mix into other lipsticks. The other one, I don't remember what it was called but it was a pink one...pretty...but I don't think I'll get it.
Lipglosses - These were really pretty in the tube!! I liked them alot. I don't remember what is what, but they were very pretty swatched on my hand.
I made an appointment for their event next weekend -- I'll probably end up with at least one of the MSFs and I'm not sure what else yet at this point.
Hope that helps!
