Let's begin by explaining that there is a FOURTH Maybelline Limited Edition Summer 2013 display now hitting stores (here's the first one, which contains six new LE Color Tattoos, and here's the second, which contains six new LE Color Show polishes. There is also a display that contains all-matte powder bronzers and a face illuminator here. if you missed them).
A huge thanks to reader Nicole for sharing pics of this fourth display, which she just spotted at Fred Meyer (retail chain exclusive to the Pacific Northwest):

NEW Maybelline Summer 2013 Limited Edition Collection
(one of four displays in this collection)
Keep reading for more pics, swatches and info!
With the exception of the The Rocket Mascara (click here for my review of this mascara) all of the products in this display are new:

Maybelline Summer 2013 Limited Edition Color Show nail colors and Color Tattoo eyeshadows
Nicole also confirmed that the Color Show polishes are also marked "limited edition" and the shades are: Sandstorm and Turquoise Paradise.
So the mystery has been SOLVED! The permanent shade, 10 Fierce & Tangy, which also shares the same number as Precious Pearl (10) probably isn't going anywhere. Maybelline just issued the same number to the Limited Edition shade. Those of you who are fans of Fierce & Tangy can breath a sigh of relief!
But that's not all!
Reader Murasaki_Neko, who also spotted this display at her local Fred Meyer, was nice enough to share some swatches and helpful comparisons of these two additional limited edition Color Tattoos. Check it out:

Limited Edition Color Tattoos in 35 Cool Crush and 15 Blue Paradise
Murasaki_Neko was nice enough to photograph Blue Paradise next to Cool Crush (above) which is from the first group of LE Color Tattoos I posted about here. As you can see, as with many of these new LE Color Tattoos, Blue Paradise is also a duochrome.

Barely Branded (permanent) and Precious Pearl (limited edition)
Murasaki_Neko writes:
...Precious Pearl is certainly cooler toned than Barely Branded, but I never got Barely Beige [Barely Beige was part of the Limited Edition Fall 2012 Fashion Week Collection -G.] so I have no idea how it compares to that. Precious Pearl also seems a little more reflective than Barely Branded, and pearly, as the name implies...Blue Paradise is sort of like Cool Crush with a blue base. They do look pretty similar on the eye, since Blue Paradise is a little sheer. I haven't played around with them too much, so maybe layering could bring out the blue more.
Murasaki_Neko also shared some swatches:

And right as I was about to publish this post, longtime reader peaisms emailed me pics of the four new Color Whispers. Talk abut great timing! Her photos:

Maybelline Summer 2013 Color Whispers
Peasims writes:
Color Whispers are #250 (Nude Shimmer (far left)), #255 (Ravishing Pink), #260 (I Crave Coral), #265 (Sienna Sands (far right)). The colors are a little brighter in the photos than they are in the tube because of the flash (in the tube they are a little deeper in color and more neutral).

As Peaisms mentioned, these tubes don't say "Limited Edition" on the labels, so I'm not sure if they're LE or if they're new additions to the core line.
To summarize: there are a total of EIGHT new Limited Edition Color Tattoos and EIGHT new Limited Edition Color Show polishes in the Maybelline Summer 2013 Collection. There are also four new Color Whispers in the Maybelline Summer 2013 Collection (again, I'm not sure if these are limited edition or new additions to the core line). And there are also some Limited Edition matte bronzers and a face illuminator in this collection.
I've heard from some of you this week who said that, in addition to Bed Bath & Beyond (and Fred Meyer), this collection is now starting to pop up at Rite Aid, so keep on checking. Hopefully these will pop up at Walgreens, CVS, Target and Ulta very soon too! Also, check back very soon for my review of the first six LE Color Tattoos, which I recently purchased at Bed Bath & Beyond.
I want to give another extra-special thanks to Nicole, Murasaki_Neko and Peaisms for all of the information contained in this post. I can't express to you how much I appreciate you all taking the time to "solve the mystery" for us by providing such detailed information and photos!
OMG, my head is exploding!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had the color show nail polishes but I put in back,it was the same price as shown in the pic.I been looking for a nude lipstick the ones shown in the pics looks nice.
ReplyDeleteNow it makes sense i was in rite aid the other day and thought i read the name precious pearl but it looked to me like a frosty white so when i read the post about a beige i thought i misread the name
ReplyDeleteOh man. I think I will need precious pearl, if I come across it. I can't wait for your review of the other six new ones. I need your help deciding which ones to get.
ReplyDeleteThere's a Fred Meyer right across the street from me...
ReplyDelete...back in a flash!!
i wonder what the difference is between precious pearl and waves of white? since they are both from the same collection...
ReplyDeleteAh! Now I'm going to have to go on the hunt again!
ReplyDeletePhew! Can't wait to get my hands on Precious Pearl since I can't seem to find the white Reckon Liquid eye liner! Also got check out the Whispers! Thank you ladies for all in work!
ReplyDeleteWow, so many new goodies~ Precious Pearl looks like a pretty neutral shade. ^^
ReplyDeleteBarely Branded and Precious Pearl look amazing. If I can find them, I may have to get them! ;)
ReplyDeleteI spotted another display at my Rite Aid today with limited edition summer 2013 colorsensational glosses :)
ReplyDeleteTime to go to Fred Meyer again, apparently. Sigh. I just got the first six and thought I was good...now I need two more.
ReplyDeleteStopped in FM tonight...I saw the display, but all the color tattoos were GONE except for one Shady Shores and one Waves of White, both of which I had. On the plus side, I did find the L'Oreal summer display and grabbed the LE infallible eyeshadows, so it wasn't a complete waste of a trip. :)
DeleteI have to say that I really dislike the colored caps for the Color Whisper lippies. You can't really see what the color of the product is, so people are taking off the covers (me included :-( ) to see the color and then nicking the lipstick. I hope they fix this somehow.
ReplyDeleteI love that Precious Pearl shade!
ReplyDelete-Amber
I'm thinking I may need Sienna Sands. That looks pretty and very wearable.
ReplyDeleteI am still exhausted from the Spring Forward Collection from Wet N Wild..now this one??? A hunting we will go..
ReplyDeleteBlue Paradise looks very much like Light in Purple, which we have here in Europe, and that ones permanent.
ReplyDeleteThese weird Maybelline market decisions are getting on my nerves!
"These weird Maybelline market decisions are getting on my nerves!"
DeleteI'm with you!!!
I'm really liking the shades for those color whispers!
ReplyDeleteFound the displays at my local HEB here in spring,tx
ReplyDeleteIve been waiting for them at my heb here in san antonio tx..... gonna stop by later tonight :)
DeleteFound these in cvs and had to pick up precious pearl the whispers looked nice but only grabbed nude shimmers...and i skipped on the nail polish. Also i found the wet n wild spring collection here and grabbed both :) lucky day for me i guess
ReplyDelete@Alondra, does Nude Shimmers add a noticeable amount of color? I passed on it and got Sienna Sands only because even though I loved the color of Nude Shimmers, I had a strong feeling it would be clear. Also, does anyone have Ravishing Pink? I compared it to Lust for Blush in store and they look nearly identical. After the whole LE fuchsia from the Fall collection being ridiculously close to the permanent fuchsia, I've been cautious about colors from Maybelline that look pretty identical, lol.
ReplyDelete@Nikki, I just got Ravishing Pink and it is identical to Lust for Blush.
Delete@Heather - thanks for the info! :) I had a feeling it was identical and Lust for Blush is almost too cool-toned for my skin, so I definitely didn't need the same color again.
