This new Maybelline Spring 2015 collection is perhaps the most confusing seasonal collection Maybelline has ever released! I'm trying my best to make sense of it all and present it to you in a clear, concise fashion, but for every one display I think I have locked down, another one seems to pop up, and some displays contain a few limited edition items, while others contain more. So I apologize if the information below is not complete--I STILL am not sure about about all of the lipstick shades in these displays (more on that in a moment) but I could never in a million years be able to make sense of any of it with your help. So a huge thanks to everyone who has contributed information and pics to this post. You have no idea how grateful I am for the help!
So let's get started...
The very first display I heard about was the one below, which is now surfacing at Bed Bath & Beyond. Thanks to reader @msqueenbee617 on Instagram for these pics:

NEW Maybelline Spring 2014 Limited Edition Rebel Bloom Collection
As you can see, this display contains Rebel Bloom lipsticks (I believe there are four limited edition shades here that are NOT in the original Rebel Bloom collection that started popping up a month or two ago in stores), and also two of the new limited edition Color Tattoos, plus some new limited edition Color Show nail polishes (the Master Primer is not new or limited edition--I posted about that full collection HERE).

Maybelline Spring 2015 Limited Edition Rebel Bloom Color Show Nail Colors
Next up, reader Lauren spotted the following display at her local CVS and was kind enough to share a pic of the display:

Rebel Bloom display at CVS
This display contains THREE limited edition Color Tattoos (and the permanent Lash Sensational mascara). The three shades in THIS display are NOT the same as the two LE shades in the first display at the top of this post. In other words, there are FIVE limited edition Color Tattoos in the Rebel Bloom collection.

So again, there are FIVE limited edition Color Tattoos in the Rebel Bloom collection. 125 Hibiscus Heartbreak and 120 Petunia Punk are in the display at the top of this post, while 135 Hydrangea Hype, 140 Rose Riot, 130 Black Orchid are in this smaller display at CVS.
Lauren writes:
Black Orchid is a soft rosy brown that looks like it would go well with colors from the Naked 3 palette. It seems like a warmer cousin of the limited colors from last Spring. Rose Riot is similar to Inked in Pink from the permanent collection, but it is a bit lighter. Hydrangea Hype is a frosty pale lilac. It kind of reminds me of the duo chrome color tattoos from a few years ago without the duo chrome.
Lauren was nice enough to share this swatch comparison of Black Orchid to some other Color Tattoos:

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
Thanks to reader Annie for letting us know that there is ANOTHER display now popping up at Walgreens and Duane Reade that is called Girls Night Out, which, according to the display, is a "Walgreens Exclusive." And this Walgreens display contains ALL FIVE of the limited edition Color Tattoos, plus additional limited edition (and permanent) products.

So I think that about covers it (for now!). As of the time of this post, there are four known Rebel Bloom displays now popping up at various retailers, but only the Girls Night Out display is exclusive to Walgreens/Duane Reade.
The only things I'm not 100% sure about at this point are the Rebel Bloom Color Sensational Lipsticks in this limited edition collection. I seem to recall one of you mentioning that the ten shades in the display at the top of this post are NOT the same as the permanent shades in the original Rebel Bloom collection, but so far I only have confirmation about the four limited edition shades I showed you above. If any of you can help me out with the other six shades, I would so appreciate it!
My New Year's resolution was for me to go on a makeup no buy, with two exceptions:
ReplyDelete1. If I run out something I need (I usually only keep one foundation)
2. If something LE comes out that I would truly hate to miss (COLOR TATTOOS!)
I'm so excited for these colors. I think this is my second favorite Color Tattoo collection after the mattes last spring. I think Petunia Punk will be the perfect base to my favorite eye shadow. Can't wait to purchase these!
Haha me too! I've been doing really well. And I agree, these tattoos are worthy.
Deleteme too. havent bought anything! but that black orchid, i want. must have. need now. haha
Deletemine too...yet I keep buying DS mascaras & lipsticks every 3 wknds or so when they go on sale...some habits are hard to break! lol
DeleteI'll have to hunt around and see if I can find swatches of the Color Tattoo. My skin is so fair I don't do well with such light colors.
ReplyDeleteHang on. Are the lipsticks le too? I'm excited about the color tattoos but this makes it seem like the whole collection is limited so I'm confused
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that the ones in this display are permanent, but the ones in the other display (see my update above) are LE since it was confirmed that those have LE stickers on them, while the ones in the display pictured at the top of this post just say "New". :)
DeleteOmg omg omg! So, if i cant find these in store, where can i find them online?
ReplyDeleteSadly, I don't know of any sites that sell these limited edition items yet. sometimes Ulta and Target will make certain LE items available on their site, so keep checking those sites and maybe they'll pop up eventually.
DeleteI need those color tattoos immediately!!!!
ReplyDeleteOoo! I want the blush and new lipsticks!
ReplyDeletei hope they come out with some new blushes. Maybelline had a spring collection a couple years back that had a coral blush that was absolutely beautiful...i bought two and one broke and i finished the other one...i had to buy fit me blush in deep coral because it was the closest i could find. I hope they release a similar color.
ReplyDeleteMust. Have.
ReplyDeletei need the color tattoo so badly!
ReplyDeleteJust went to bbb and picked up the 2 color tattoos, the blush, and Cabernet lipstick. There is a total of 4 le lipsticks, one orangey (not coral), the Cabernet which is a dark fuschia and 2 very light pinks, not really nudes. I can't find that 3rd color tattoo and I'd love to know which display it's in!
ReplyDeleteI do believe 817 says "Fiery Tulip". Can't quite make out what 818 is. It's "Purple [Something]".
ReplyDeleteFiery Tulip! YES! Aaah, thank you! Updating now... :)
DeleteI saw "Fern Tap" at first too, Lol!!! Maybe it says "fiery tulip"?? I can't wait to try the matte blush stick now too, and of course the color tattoos!!! :D
ReplyDeleteLove the stickers on the bottle, very cute. The UK range, called Rebel Bouquet, has lippies and five polishes. Four cremes (peach, fuchsia, rose/pink/red and violet) with a pink glitter topper. Looks similar but not quite the same...
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeletehi , g !
the user "cosmeticchronicle" followed me on instagram & i found that she has pictures & she has swatches of all three of the color tattoos , the master blush , as well as close ups of the polishes .
i tagged you in a couple of the photos .
––– nicole
Thanks so much, girlie! She tagged me on one of her pics too...just waiting to hear back to see if she's ok with me sharing here. :)
DeleteI can't wait to pick up one of the two pink-er shades! Gotta make my eyes pop~
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't make sense that the color tattoos are numbered #120 (Hibiscus Heartbreak), #125 (Petunia Punk), #135 (Hydrangea Hype). It seems like there should be a #130. Now that I think of it, hasn't every limited edition color tattoo collection contained an even amount of shades?
ReplyDeleteBased on preivous Maybelline seasonal collections, I'm guessing that there's at least one, if not two or more, additional displays that are still on the way. There's USUALLY a large display devoted to eye and cheek products, with powder shadows, Color Tattoos, liners, blushes, highlighters and whatever permanent mascara they're choosing to promote at the time (I'm guessing it will be Lash Sensational). So yes, I agree--I think there are more Color Tattoos in this collection!
DeleteHey G, I found a display with 4 matte blushes, and 4 LE Color Elixirs at one CVS tonight. I posted swatches and pics on Instagram @ihappenedtobabyjane if you want to look! I'm not well versed in it, so I'm not sure how to send pictures on there :p
ReplyDeleteActually, I think that there are five new color tattoos. I was in Duane Reade/ Walgrees (NYC) and saw a display for the Spring 2015 collection called Girls Night Out. It said that it was exclusive to Walgreens; I don't know how true that is.
ReplyDeleteThe color tattoos were 120- Petunia Punk, 125- Hibiscus Heartbreak, 130- Black Orchid, 135- Hydrangea Hype, 140- Rose Riot.
Forgot to mention that the four limited edition lipsticks are the same as in the collection at Bed, Bath and Beyond .
ReplyDeleteHey Anna, thanks for sharing! If you don't mind, can you please share which location you saw it? I can't find it in nyc anywhere. Thanks in advance!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to respond so late, Lisa, but I was out of town. I found the display at the Duane Reade/Walgreens at 9511 63rd Drive in Rego Park, Queens (store 14477). I don't know if they restocked any items; some were missing when I was there last week. I'll keep on the lookout for more displays- I know the pain of not finding LE collections!
DeleteHey Annie, Thank you very much for taking the time to respond back. I really appreciate it!
DeleteAll I'm going to add is that Walgreens better sell smelling salts and fainting couches as well as these beauties!
ReplyDeletei know i will get the color tattooooooss:) so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is so crazy! I found a display at my Walgreens today with lipsticks, lash sensational mascara and color tatoos. Unfortunately, the color tatoos were from the permanent line. I did grab 2 of the lipsticks but don't really like the one because it seems a tad frosty. I'm going to check cvs tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteCould we do an interactive sighting map for these? I LOVE THAT BLACK ORCHID COLOR TATTOO!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you weren't kidding about this being one confusing collection! Now that I know what's out there, the hunt is on! Thank you so much for this round up. I think Black Orchid is going to be the stand out shade of this collection. And those matte blush sticks. Can't wait to find all of this!
ReplyDeleteBlack Orchid looks fantastic. It's also the kind of shade I'm missing in my cream shadow collection.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to find it. Based on my past experience with LE Color Tattoos, I'd say my chances are low... I'm in San Diego too by the way so let me know if you've spotted them somewhere!!
My wallet says no but my heart says OH YES.
ReplyDeleteI suspect I'm gonna need a backup of that Black Orchid Color Tattoo...
Hi G, the picture/display at the very top of your post only contains four lipstick shades - they are the four limited edition shades. The three on the left areTangy Tulip, next are three Bubblegum Bloom and then two each of Carnation Cabaret and Playful Peony! Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteWow have to go pick up a script I hope they get it in this week. I'm so looking for the color tattoos. I agree Black Ochid looks great. I am new to this and didn't know anything last year about LE shades on the Tattoos I have some if the leathers because I heard they were going to be LE. I'm in the middle of the country. So if I see anything will let u know. I'm in a smaller town so my best bet may be online if that happens anywhere please someone let me know. Thanks. Love this getting this email everyday. It's the first thing I open.
ReplyDeleteI NEED to have the Black Orchid!!! It's such a great color, different from anything else I own. I am going to have to hunt it down, check the stores to see when it finally arrives here. If i'm not there at the moment they put it out, it will be snapped up by somebody who's going to buy them all and put them on eBay
ReplyDeletei found black orchid, hydrangea hype, & rose riot in a display at cvs today with just the lash sensational mascara! it was the only display i saw with the new stuff.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone in CO found this collection yet? I've been to BB&B and 4 Walgreens with no luck. :(
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI to everyone looking at walgreens it's not due to be out until march ask them to look in their marketing guide to know if that store will be getting it...you will have to ask a manager to look at it for you hope this helps everyone
ReplyDeleteo: thanks for the info. So are not all Walgreen's are guaranteed to carry the collection?
DeleteNot sure if they all will or not that's why have them check there marketing guide to see if they are slated to get it or not..sorry that's all I know. .
DeleteOnly one Walgreens in my area (central Connecticut) had a display (full-size endcap) and I was able to get Hibiscus Heartbreak, Hydrangea Hype and Petunia Punk, but several of my local CVSes had one display or another and I was able to pick up Black Orchid and Rose Riot.
ReplyDeleteJust found Hydrangea Hype, Rose Riot, Black Orchid at a CVS in Virginia!
ReplyDeleteWhat part of VA?
ReplyDeleteI have Rose, Hydrangea and Orchid. The last is gorgeous, the other two are a bit frosty for me. I need to find the ones I'm missing! Also, love the new matte blush sticks! Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteFound the full collection at a Walgreen's in San Antonio, TX today! Glgl all!
ReplyDeleteI found Black Orchid at CVS. I didn't get the the two.
ReplyDeleteG, there is another elixir called lively lilac I believe that is the name of it do you know anything about it? I found it on instagram. I dying now I thought I had everything....
