Gah, thanks for the offer! Sorry I missed this. If you're still able to swatch all 4 of them without it causing you any hassle or going out of your way I'd appreciate it but if not I'll just have to wait, lol.

I got my Vice 3 in the post this morning. If any of you were thinking of getting it and depotting, this one should be easy to do - several of my pans were very loose and wobbly, and it wouldn't take much to lever them out if I wanted to.
I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, as I've had to put it upstairs out of the way so my parents don't see it when they get here shortly, but the couple of colours I did lightly touch were beautiful.

Thanks so much for these swatches! These actually look better than I was expecting so I'm a bit more excited now. I think I'm most looking forward to Dynamic. If you get the time, could you do larger swatches? What shade are you in foundation? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get a real good idea on them.I've just swatched my Estée Lauder lipstick set.
They are tiny, so sweet at 1.2g each, as opposed to a regular MAC lipstick which is 3g. From left to right, they are 340 Envious, 240 Tumultuous Pink, 410 Dynamic and 120 Desirable. I think I'll be using all of these.

Me too! I also ordered the 10 eyepencil set. They are very nice too. Like you, I haven't had the chance to swatch them yet, my hubby's home, so had to quickly put them away, lol.
I only ordered No Faux Pas lipstick from the Mac holiday collections, I'll swatch the eyeshadows in store, but not very likely I'll get any. I can't really get at most of my make up due to storage problems, so have been mostly using my UD palettes lately, they are such great quality and fairly inexpensive, don't really have the need for any Mac shadows now. I don't need more lipstick either, but NFP looked very pretty in the swatches and I like it that it's matte.

They're only tiny tubes, so I don't really want to do bigger swatches and waste them. The colours in the photo are pretty true to life, though, as it was in daylight by the window. I rarely wear foundation, but my nearest colour is N1 or NW10.
To give you an idea of the size, here's a photo of one alongside my MAC Barcelona Red. The colour isn't true to life here, as it's indoors, but you can see how small it is.
My MAC order arrived while my parents were here - oops! I wasn't expecting Yodel to turn up with a big green van. Anyway, I've just opened my box and I am very pleased with my purchases. I'm loving the Gold + Beige pigment set - it was the only set that I didn't already have any of the colours. I'm pleased that these aren't the tiny jars that used to come in the holiday sets - I didn't find those easy to use. I was expecting the box for them to be cardboard, but it's actually plastic and could be used as a trinket box. Amethyst glitter is such a beautiful colour and super sparkly, and the colours in the Plum Extra Dimension eyeshadow bag are gorgeous. The bag itself doesn't look as cheap as I thought it might.
The sparkle in Victorian Plum and Enchantment are lovely, but I think they will look even better if I use a base. Sparks of Romance looks lovely too, but I haven't tried it on yet. Swatched on my hand it looks like the perfect colour for me, though. Just Jewels is also as lovely as I thought it would be, judging by swatches I've seen.
Edit: The pressed pigments look much better with a primer

Placed my mac order so far it's enchantment pigment and the bronze pigment set. However definitely will be picking up the gold pigment set in store as I have seen some good swatches. The rose one would be right up my street too but I already have one of the pigments from it. Also thinking of picking up the nude lip bag. Liking the look of sweet sentiment blush and Victorian plum pigment - so they a possibilities too. But I think I have some time to debate those purchases. Is this launching Thursday instore?

If you use a base, such as Too Faced Shadow Insurance, Urban Decay Primer Potion or a Paint Pot under the pigments, they apply much better and stay put. Try pressing the pigments onto your eyelids, too, rather than sweeping them across, to help them stick. As for the glitter, you'd be best using something like Too Faced Glitter Glue or Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy as they're especially designed to stick glitter.
It's a good idea to apply your eye makeup first, before you do your foundation etc., so that you can sweep away any fallout without having to re-do some of your foundation. That, or apply some loose powder in the under-eye area to catch any fallout so you can whisk it away with a brush.
Collections usually come out in the stores a week after they appear online, but as we've seen with Debenhams and HoF recently, they can't be relied on to put them up on those dates.

My local counter is in Harvey Nichols and they told me that they'll release the collection this Thursday (6th). Harvey Nichols don't sell makeup online, so I don't have any better information about that. Theoretically, it should be this Thursday as well, but, as people have said, HoF and Debenhams can be a bit unreliable about when they put the collections up online.If you use a base, such as Too Faced Shadow Insurance, Urban Decay Primer Potion or a Paint Pot under the pigments, they apply much better and stay put.

Oh what a load of nonsense! It's all permanent items in an albeit pretty box. If it had something super limited in it, then I'd understand.

NARS Audacious lipsticks are up on their website.. I got the e-mail notification not long ago.
Have they been up for a while? I checked a few days ago and sure they weren't there.
I ordered Vivien as it's exclusive to the NARS website. Dominique will be as well.
I now have Anna, Audrey, Anita and Vivien. I may pick up Liv at some point.
Otherwise, I'm happy not buying anymore until the new year in spring/summer as the other colours I want are more "spring/summer" colours. Brighter pinks, etc. I quite like the look of Vera but it doesn't seem to be as dark as I was hoping for in swatches I see.
