The only problem with swatching these so early is that my counter had the tester palettes, but no actual compacts, and no indication of which shades were which. I thought all the textures were pretty nice, except the last two shades of Fresh Cut seemed weaker on pigment.

In no particular order, the Graphic Garden palette contains Social Climber (VP), Botanical Blue (Frost), Straight Hedge (VP), Wild Wisteria (Lustre), Linear Lilac (VP), and Graphic Garden (Velvet). These shades

The Fresh Cut palette contains Floral Inc. (Frost), Sun Shy (Lustre), Fresh Cut (VP), Poppy Noir (Velvet), Bloomcycle (VP), and Part Peony (Lustre).

I thought Summer Crop looked pretty swatched on my arm, but I knew it was going to be more or less invisible on my lips.

Those are great swatches.

So I have decided against both palettes. I'm also iffy on the Sweet Tease box, even though I have already preordered it and also thinking I'm not going to bother with the lip set.

Not sure why? *checks temperature*

I think in the end I'll end up with Sweet Tease only. I think it's just bothering me that the look boxes here are $78 and really, that means we're basically only getting the brush and mascara extra, both of which I don't really care for. (I have the 181 already and the mascara looks to be a sample size only).

I think I will get the GG e/s palette. I just can't decide to pre-order online or wait till I'm in Vegas on July 29th. We don't have a Nordies here. Anyone think they will sell out?

Also I want just one l/s, not the set. So if anyone wants to sell a l/s from the Summer Crop set or Soft Illusion l/s from the Baby Blooms set. My first choice would be the Soft Illusion l/s.

Oh WOW. I might want Baby Blooms! Frost AND Amplified Creme? That's amazing!

I look forward to get GG eye palette and Baby Blooms lip bag

FemmeFatale · 06-22-2009, 01:54 PM #**632** (**permalink**)

I think I am now going to skip the whole collection. I wanted the Nude Lipstick bag but I am not keen on the swatches a bit too dark for my liking.

I will take a look in person in LA Nordtstrom.

Yeah, the darker shade lippie looked like ...well, dark poo instead of pinky poo

But, it could have been Nordies lighting

I hate that I love the summer crop bag more than the baby blooms lip bag, but I love the colors with baby blooms compared to the summer crop ones esp since my lips are too pigmented for those colors... lol, I wish we could choose which one we want

GlamQueen21 · 06-22-2009, 04:53 PM #**636** (**permalink**)

I'm going to pre-order some stuff before the release date since I can't decide if I want to pre-order or wait to order it the day before the release date.

Yes, these will sell out fast according to our Nordstrom. When I placed my order last week, they only had 16 of the Graphic Garden left and about 24-28 of the Fresh Cut. I ordered both. The MA said they didn't get as many as they usually did and they were sure to sell out maybe even before the official release date. So if you're even remotely thinking of these order now. You can always cancel. They are so pretty and if you are lacking in aquas and pinks, you should DEF check these out. I'm uber excited! I'm gonna be so broke with M.A.C for the remainder of the year! LOL

OK...haha...you love boobies too

Hubby took me shopping this weekend. So, we were in Anthropologie & I was trying this cute camisole top on BUT I couldn't get the side zipper up just at my boob line. So I opened the dressing room door & had hubby try to zip me up while I was pushing & squishing my boobs together - ah, it worked! gawd, we were laughing so hard I thought I was going to pee my pants.

The top was too cute to pass up, & the next larger size was too big so a squishing we will go when I want to wear it

Oh, I wore the top out of the store instead of the one I was wearing.

I was kinda like WHAT? when i saw the Shape and Perfect Brush Set. I want it to be that way. Is this a mistake or is it really like that? The 129 Powder/Blush Brush replaced 168 Large Angled Contour Brush.

BeautyPsycho · 06-23-2009, 01:57 AM #**644** (**permalink**)

KarlaSugar's swatches make me want both palettes. Dammit. I want palettes! I want them nowwwwwww

its listed as the other way around in my book. so either they mixed em up before they stuck em in there, or my book is wrong and they're supposed to be like that.

i'm gonna say that they mixed em up, cuz the 168 is a contour brush (used for shaping), and would belong in the shape and perfect set.

darkishstar · 06-23-2009, 03:01 AM #**646** (**permalink**)

Ugh... I go from lemming Graphic Gardens to not... to wanting it, but not...

Ugh.. one or the other dammit.

So what do you all think?
Graphic Gardens Eye Palette or Baby Blooms lip bag?

^^ lol I went to the same Nordstorms as Makeupandbeautyblog... they might have switched them

shadowaddict · 06-23-2009, 01:05 PM #**648** (**permalink**)

I like the GG palette e/s better but I the FC palette itself better. I probably can dupe most of them I think I will get the FC palette. I'm very silly. I would get both but trying to cut cost.

Also I love Philosophy's Amazing Grace and they have a super deal on it. You get two 32oz bottles, one of shower gel and one of the body emulsion (which the 16oz is $34 by itself).

Here's a link if you like Philosophy's Amazing Grace

I wish they release Baby Bloom lipgloss all by itself. I really don't need a *boring* duo of pink lipsticks but l/g looks stunning.

Also what's the name of burgundy and the bright pink and the orange in Fresh Cut palette? They are kind of cool.

Still, I ,hopefully, pass this collection.
