I think this will be great for me! I usually prefer pale, barely there lips or dark ones. I might dye my hair black again for this haha...or silver.

Yatta! Hopefully I'll have enough money saved for this.

I wont be getting any of the lippies as I dont tend to wear dark colors. And it is just not my style to wear them.

But for the MES and nail lacquers, I am definately getting them

I'm so retardedly excited over this collection...I plan on buying almost all of it. I don't care if I look like a giant emo/goth teenage-wannabe mess...I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed this stuff.
I figure it'll come out one of two ways;
Emo/goth "I'm so emo my grass cuts itself"
or
Heroin chic. Hello Kate Moss.

<~~ This is what I'm hoping for.

im lighter than nc15 and im really interested in the glosses. i think the lipstick is cool, id id never EVER wear it, so ill skip that.

I am on the pale end of NW20. I plan on picking up all of it. The only products that I see a possible issue with is the full black lipsticks. I will definitely blend them with something. The other lip products will definitely be a dramatic statement, but perfect for fall. Everything else in the collection isn't that out of the ordinary, i.e. dark eye liners, dark shadows and dark polish.

I'm definitely skipping the black lip. It doesn't take much to make me look goth, and I'm long past my goth stage.

I love a chic, black nail, though.

I'm also on the pale end of NC20. I could probably get away with wearing NC15.

I can't really work dark lips so the lippys are out. I definitely plan to get a couple of the glosses, to layer, and the mes's because I think they'll be perfect for creating gorgeous smokey eye looks.

I am going back and forth on if I will really get a black lipstick...if any, the cremesheen one seems the most wearable, but I am trying to only buy products that I will use--I'm over the novelty thing I guess. Plus, if I ever want black lipstick I will just hit up the halloween boutique in the mall,

I will definitely wear black gloss and the ccb that is black will probably look zexy on the eyes. The mes sound interesting too but I don't know if I will get any. I think this collection is going to look stellar on all skintones, as long as you like black.

I can't wait for this collection- though I don't know how much use I'll get out of it (I have a toddler, so it's not like I go clubbing anymore!) I'm almost hoping it's not as good as it seems, otherwise I'll break myself between this, the HD collection and the new nails!

rut roh.. not for me so I will pass.. Most of my customers will avoid too much black like the plague. This is definitely a younger trend imo.

I think I'd be NW15, and I'm loving this collection. I've worn black lipstick, eyeshadow and nail polish before. And I'm loving the items that have pink/purple shimmer since those are my 2 favorite colors.

I'm NC 20, and I can't wait for this collection!!! I would totally get a l/s if I were a true porcelain beauty, but unfortunately I have ruddiness that doesn't compliment the gothy romantic look. However, I will totally get a gloss. I'm not sure how close to YSL's black gloss they are, but someone posted an awesome pic of herself wearing that gloss over a red l/s, and it looked really amazing.

The SA at Nordstroms was really excited for the grease paints. She said they were developed by one of the master artists who covers the Orange County region (can't remember his name). They sound like they're worth a try.
