Not @happytrottinelf but the launch date is April 15. I am also holding off for these instead.Oh do you have a release date for those? I‘m eating my words from above and have already succumbed to the first of the new LE shades earlier today

For the new Ltd Eds I can recommend this vid by one of my fave lux make-up bloggers

Warning, they are dotted through the vid and not all at once, but she's so fun, worth watching for her personality

Dear @momoc ,
Could I please trouble you for one more comparison? I looked but don’t think you’ve done this one...
I’m interested in Rose Boisé and would appreciate seeing it next to Rose Nuit and Rose Épicé. Thanks!
ETA: if it wouldn’t be too much trouble to throw in the new LE Beige too, that’d be great!!

These are the coral/orange lipsticks I have at the moment. From the bottom: corail flamingo, rose inoui, corail fou, orange boite, Tom Ford true coral, MAC cb96 b18 frost. 
@momoc, you are amazing. thanks so much for all these comparison pix!
I think I am finally done (LOL), having found Rose Mexique to be just what I was looking for in the pink department.
However, I bought it as a refill, to put in the case that last year's Violet Insense came in (that dark purple color really did not work out for me). Now I need to make a little sticker with the color name, or I am never going to remember the name of the lipstick in that old case. First world problems.

LOL, why yes, I *am* supposed to be working. 
Hmmm. I have to wonder if Corail Fou might not have been better for me than Corail Flamingo. Oh well. Too late now.

HTH! Left to right = top to bottom = Rose Boise, Rose Nuit, Rose Epice, Beige Ebloui. Apologies on the messy looking Rose Boise tube, it’s actually a personal favorite, one of the most well-used for me!
Ok OT but this is amazing hahahaha.
I’ve been thinking of getting a label maker to help organize some stuff around the house. Going to find one on Amazon now...
It can read brown in yellow lights to me. Not so much in natural lights. It’s a dusty rose to me and I love those types of colors.
I suspect it’ll go pink on me too. Most colors do and that’s fine. We’ll see!
Edited, in comparison to H to stay on topic.
The following are smoother and more emollient than H: Chantecaille is a good all-rounder and I appreciate it's more accessible than some of my other favourites. Lipstick Queen had originally a wonderful formula, has changed a bit in recent years but is still very, very good. I often don't mess around with their limited editions, though, which have different formulas and are often dreadful. The Rodin formula is wonderful, and if their shade range works for you, you can't go wrong. Brilliant in winter as they're super emollient.
Better in terms of staying power and comparable to H in terms of colours: Lisa Eldridge is great, and I appreciate that she goes to significant effort to show all the colours on different skintones, in different lighting, to aid online ordering. Unique colours, too. Similarly (where Lisa Eldridge was creative director), Lancome has great colours. Among their ranges, I really only like the L'Absolu Rouge formula, and luckily I also love the case for it, which sort of pops out when you press the top. It contains a small amount of fragrance. Their oranges 66 and 198 might be of interest to those who passed on the H orange.This video (not in English) shows the case and one of the oranges (the orange is at about 3:15): .
missmabel, I took your advice and tried Lisa Elderidge. I wouldn’t say I like it more than the H lippies but I definitely love it! Thanks for the tip.
Meanwhile H’s Rouge Casaque & Rose Boisé are enroute.
