I think it depends on your location. Collection is set to release on the 9th but my Nordies counter is letting me pick up my stuff on the 6th.....

I am not sure what to do...Triple Fusion seems so light in the swatches. I know it's a different color than Porcelain Pink, but I'm not sure if I should get both since they both kinda look like highlighters-- any suggestions?

I say get what you really want first, then in a month go back to what you didn't. But I would say get Triple Fusion and smooth merge if you don't have ppink because a lot of people have porcelain so smooth merge and triple fusion will sell out quicker because it is not new. But you are so fair I would get the TF, SM, PP and maybe one bronzey color.

HTH.

I am most excited by these two. I want the MSF too, but these are being got as soon as they hit the site.

Enjoy it, the colour is so gorgeous! But I will no longer buy stuff I can only wear when I use a very light dusting to apply.
And Fab-dabulous and Merrily are not close, Merrily is way more red. fab-dabulous is more coral-red.

It is The 4th of July and mostly everyone has tomorrow off but MAC you don't see fit to release this in all the stores early when people are going to be packed in the malls

I want my crap this weekend, goteffindammit.

yeah, I seriously have a problem.

I called two stores and both said July 9th but I called Nordstrom and the SA said the release date was August 22. I think the SA was new, because she didn't seem like she was familiar with the CC collection and she asked me what was in the collection.

I just called my closest MAC and the guy on the phone said something about it releasing Thursday (nevermind that it IS Thursday) but he couldn't even look it up for sure because there was a power outage at the whole mall. O_O I guess it's not there yet, because he'd be able to tell me if it was out on the floor.

So here's my final, I am no longer discussing this anymore list of what I'm going to get.
- 226 brush (hopefully I'll be happy with just one of these!)
- Fab-dabulous MB
- Smooth Merge MSF
- Warm Blend MSF
- Cheeky Bronze MSF
- Crazy Haute l/g (I was going to resist the lipglosses but I can't stay away from a berry!)

The only thing I'm still waffling on is Triple Fusion. I don't know if it'll show up on me very much (NC44-45ish?) but it looks like it has more gold-ish colors, which I would prefer over the pinks in Smooth Merge. I don't like a whole lot of pinks on my face, since I feel they make me look child beauty pageant young. :/

Style Demon looked like a much darker Fab-dabulous on me. But still more burnt-brick-red and not red-red like Merrily. hth

Thanks for the great review, Adina! Can't wait to check this out in person. I think I've finally been able to narrow down my list! ;-)

Thank you, you helped me choose what I'm getting LOL. I'm only getting Cheeky Bronze and Natural Flare as I have NO money to spend and shouldn't even be buying those LOL. But after looking over the swatches, reading reviews and going back and forth between all of them those are the only two things I'm getting.

Best would be to go in person to swatch them , but by the looks of it . CHeeky iif you want a bronzy shade , triple fusion if you want a neutral peachy highlight . smooth merge if you want some color and u dont have petticoat bec from the swatches it looks very similar to petticoat which i have . HTH

So, today I went to my Macy's counter, because one of the MAs there said they were getting Euristocrats. They didn't, only the freestanding store got it here. But, to make up for her blunder, she pulled out Color Craft for me. At first, I was thinking I wouldn't like this collection at all, but OMG. I loved loved loved what I saw. While I was looking over the shadows, one of the other MAs broke a tube of Funky Fusion. I got to try it on and play with it over the lippies. Instant love over Trimming Talk. I must have that combo. I love the marbled lipglasses. I didn't like the layered ones that came out with Sugarsweet. They annoyed me, but these are great! Awesome colors, especially Funky Fusion. Also, the MSFs are SO much better in person than in their pictures. I will have
Smooth Merge and Triple Fusion. They were my faves. Overall, Color Crafted was my fave lippie, but I will also buy Made With Love and Most Popular. I was wearing Lychee Luxe when I went in, and I swear Made With Love is its lipstick dopleganger. As for the MES, I'm still not sure I need more...but if I do give in and buy any it will be: Fashion Patch, Girlish Romp and Odd Bits. They were the ones that stood out to me. I can't wait for next week now! SO excited! Ooooh, and I swatched my lips after putting on Funky Fusion. Some of it had rubbed off by the time I took the picture, and my lips are pretty pigmiented.

I've decided not to get any of the blushes or MSFs...too sparkly/frosty for me. I will get the 131, possibly Eccentricity, maybe a lipstick and/or gloss -I'm waiting for some more swatches on the lip products - but all in all it looks like I'll escape this one with my wallet in good shape.
