I did see Taupe but forgot to mention it...it's just a med. taupe brown matte, nothing great. It seems to me that it would look muddy on alot of people, but I find taupey shades tough to wear for most folks.

From Untamed; poetique, raven blue, and flitatious
From Rococco; pure vanity and elaborate

that's all for me
going to the mac pro on thursday

I went to the preview last night and I got the well-plumed quad, Brassy fluidline and Raven Blue mascara.

Hey, Niki! *waves*

I went to the preview party at Roosevelt Field last night and here's what I thought -- by the way, I posted some swatches in the swatch forum.

I'm in LOVE with Wild About You. I might use empties to get another one. I'm not sure how I feel about Rockocco on me right now. I'm a NW47 in SFF and I'm thinking it might be a little too orange-y for my skin tone.

I do love Accent Red. It's not red in the least. More like a pinkish/purple-ish hue to it. It's beautiful though. Poetique is pretty though I'd probably wear it with a darker brown to tone it down a little. Unflappable is nice, but again, I'd have to mix it with something to tone down the frostiness (I'm not too big on frosts but the color was pretty).

Ostentacious, to me, was like blue brown pigment in fluidline form. It's pretty and I can see myself using it a lot.

Oh! Pure Vanity is THE SEX. Love this lipglas. Love, love, love!!

I'm a mess!

So I went to a MAC event party last night with every intention of ONLY buying the Well-Plumed Quad...

...but walked out with the Well-Plumed quad, the Take Wing quad, Wild 'Bout You lippie, Boldheart l/g and an empty 15 pan.


They gave me a cocktail and I caved. I never even had a chance.

This collection is gorgeous, I love the rich colors.

Now I promise, no more MAC shopping (until the Holiday Collection)!

 

[themandy]

the only thing i'm buying is ostentatious. might get a sample of accent red, too.

 

[ette]

Hmmm Ostentacious sounds too red now, I think I'll just get Take Wing Quad...maybe La La Libertine but it's probably similar to a lot.

 

[musicdust]

I ordered the two quads and the pigment. I am debating on truth and light, la la libertine and Pure Vanity. Oh too many choices. Of course got to save some money for september 7th!

 

[caroni99]

I bought well plumed b/c it has two perm colours I don't have plus two new ones I think will good on me.

I LOVE LOVE instinctive l/s-it's the perfect nudey pink-brown for my skin-tone. Everything else was nice but not for me...

 

[SMMY]

Boldheart, Poetique and the Take Wing quad. I'm still debating about the Pure Vanity lipgloss and the Well Plummed quad. Arghh!

 

[toby1]

What is Bold heart like? No one else seems to be getting it

[Simply Elegant]

Unflappable and pure vanity probably. Maybe the well plumed quad.

 

[2_pink]

If youre into red lips then definitely get Pure Vanity l/g. I love Wild 'bout you l/s and Poetique l/g.

It is a very deep purple. I got it but not sure I will keep it.

 

[Tonitra]

I got:
Well-Plumed quad, Star! powder, La La Libertine, and Boldheart.

My thoughts on everything:
Take Wing Quad kind of bored me (I have so many purples, and pinks already), but Well-Plumed was a good fit for me-Courage is gorgeous and will look great with my blue eyes, the dark blue colour seems to be okay but perhaps nothing special (I haven't tried it on yet, so I'll reserve judgement for now, lol) and since I don't have Shroom or Espresso yet, I'm happy with those.

Accent Red seemed to close to many other reddish purpley pinks that I already have, so I passed. I did check out Blue Brown which I hadn't seen before, and am still debating-very interesting colour, but it looks lke a bruise on me (good thing its permanent so I have time to think on it).

I didn't bother checking out the fluidlines, nothing grabbed my attention there, and judging from what I've heard about Ostentatious, I think i'll just stick with Dipdown which I love.

Star! irredescent powder was very pretty, but I'm kind of having second thoughts about it, as I'm not sure how much use i'll get out of it. I might change my mind once I try it on.

I passed on all the lipsticks, but did check out some of the lipglasses. I like the creamy-ness of La La Libertine, and I've been purposefully holding out on buying one of the many pink lipglasses until this one. I'm quite pleased. Pure Vanity... I was really excited about this, but something about it just didn't suit me. I'm NW15/20 with blonde hair, and figured I'd be able to pull it off, but it just didn't work for me. I was kind of dissapointed, and ended up trying on Boldheart for the heck of it, and i LOOOOOOVE it!!! Please, don't be scared of the colour, it goes on fabulous (and is quite easy to sheer down to a nice subtle berry stained-look). I was surprised it worked so well with my skintone.

My final word: Check out Boldheart, if you haven't already!!!

 

[stellarx1587]

I've made up my mind...

Well, here is what I ended up getting based off of everyone's feedback:

Well Plumed Quad
Take Wing Quad
Stray Rose Blush
Taupe Blush
Star! Powder
Accent Red Pigment
Pure Vanity l/g
Rockocco l/s
Ostentatious f/l

I must say, I am sooooo in love w/ Rockocco!! Its the best true red l/s I have ever found for my skin (i'm an NC42)!! Since I'm asian, I have yellow undertone... and this lipstick is a red with yellow tones... PERFECT! Just match it up w/ Mahagoney l/l and I'm set to go!! I'm still on the fence about some of the other stuff... but thanks to everyone for their input!!!

 

[Dnwrdsprl]

I had to get Rockocco lipstick, Red Accent Pigment, Bubbly Beige Nail Polish and Ostentatious Fluidliner...I'm planning on going back for more...personally i like the Rockocco line better than the Untamed...

 

[junealexandra]

Must haves for me were the 2 Quads, 2 colour Mascaras, Wild bout you and, Instinctive Lipstick and Ostentatious FL and Accent Red Pigment. Everything else I can fill in from other colours I have.

I love Instinctive, it's the best Neutral I have ever had!

 

[shriekingviolet]

I went yesterday and got the Take Wing Quad, Wild About You l/s, Instinctive l/s, and Poetique l/g. I think I might go back for Overdone l/s, Ostentatious f/l and Stray Rose blush, but perhaps not.

Thoughts: I really liked the Well Plumed quad and it took some serious effort to talk myself out of getting it. I already own Espresso and Shroom, so unless the other two shades were extremely different that stuff I already owned it'd be a waste of money for me, as I know I'll never use up 2 Espressos. Thankfully I already have a good navy (Stroke of Midnight) and a copper (Stimulated Copper from a Color Scheme quad), or else I would have dropped money on it. I do think though that if you don't have an actual copper eye shadow in your collection already, Courage is unlike any of MAC's recent LE or regular collection orangy golds. Except for maybe Rich Symbol from Pattern Maker, but I never saw that in person so it might not be a decent sub for it either. It's a real copper and not just an especially orange shade of brass/gold, and it makes blue eyes pop in ways that Amberlights doesn't quite achieve.

I also got to rave about Poetique. It reminds me of a less pink version of Sunny Boy only with more pearl and less shimmer particles. It looks gorgeous on its own or over Wild About You.

Hope it's ok if I contribute

I'm doing my order online tonight just debating what to get

Thinking the two quads (I never did a quad purchase before this will be my first

), the new pressed powder, new pig, and maybe lipglasses!

FL I'm in debate over. I have three of them (two untouched actually) and they just don't seem to work for me. So many people rave about them but I just can't love them for some reason (They are a very melty and smeary for me....I prefer smashbox putty liner)!!!!!!! So I'm debating over getting any of the new ones!

Anyway biting the finger nails trying to decide what goodies I want! The credit card needs a serious break
