I'm not really excited about e/s quads in general: they are often composed entirely of colors i will never wear, or they're mostly matte, or they have poor color payoff.

But Call Me Bubbles is only the second quad in 3 years that i've wanted. I skipped it, not sure i have skipper's remorse, just one of the few i found really really appealing. But I figured i have Free to Be, and several light neutral, peachy, and copper shadows, so i didn't really *need* it. Still i really love that specific combination in one palette.

OK, OK, i confess the e/s quints in the 2012 Holiday Fabulousness sets were *gorgeous*, but i couldn't justify the expense - not after what i shelled out on Glamour Daze.

Um. You're not helping.

I have Free to Be. I also have Shroom, Naked Lunch, Arena, Chessa, Mythology and Samoa Silk. I don't need this. I don't. I just love the look of Brash. Any suggestions about what would be a good perm dupe? I don't have Coppering or Bronze but I do have Sable (LOVE) and Twinks.

I even have a single slot empty in a quad. It's destiny.

I'm honestly not a quad person much either - I want every single color to be unique and perfect for me and when they aren't, I just don't want it at all.

The only quads I own are Leopard Luxe, All Woman and (and the CR Desert and 5 Beauties Play it Cool compacts, if those count). They're all very well used too - the older ones are truly dented up by now!

Coppering is the closest to brash. Nothing else MAC even comes close.

is that twitter? I can't find that user's page - and THOSE ARE THE FULL PROMO PICS - but Veronica is cut off.

Betty's collex is cut off (she's the blonde). Promo photos means there will be a color story soon, I hope!! Look at all those lipglosses! Has anyone tried the mascara? If so, do you like it? The packaging is so cute, it might be worth trying.

I don't think it's the whole collection, shouldn't Veronica's side (bottom picture) have a blush and a pearl matte? I'm really loving all the lip products, even the lip glosses.. Ay ay ay!

It looks like for each girl we will get:

  • 3 lipsticks
  • 3 lipglasses
  • 1 quad
  • 2 pigments
  • 2 eyeliners
  • 1 mascara
  • 1 blush
  • 1 pearlmatte
  • 2 nail polishes

Is it wrong for me to wish there were more lipsticks in this collection? Maybe if there were, I would actually want something from Betty's part of the collection because as of right now, I'm Team Veronica all the way.

Not wrong at all. I am a lipstick junkie and there can never be enough shades to chose from for me. I'm also Team Veronica!!!

Thanks; I think I've always found Coppering a little red, but I'll have to check it out. I have a bunch of BTM empties lying around and adding the one colour I actually want makes a lot more sense than getting a quad when I have so many simliar shades. Although...I have Star Myth from the On the Hunt Duo. I don't even need Brash.

This is why I can't even find anything to buy anymore. Way too much in my stash. I never thought I'd be carrying MAC gift cards around without anything that I want.

I'm sorry but I really haven't been following this thread. It is just moving to fast for me. Is this the big spring collection? I've gathered that it comes out early February and usually there is a big Spring collection in early February. It is usually my Mac birthday present to myself. But this collection doesn't seem that large. Is there another official spring collection coming out? Thanks.

I don't use a smartphone so no Instagram account - is there a way to just see this photo via a link? Hehe, as is obvious, I'd really like to see this damn thing already.
