I appreciate all this info! I was so excited to see the blushes, but now I'm worried that most of them are way too strong for me. I tend to like vibrant colors, but these look like they could turn clownish (NC15). Maybe if I use a soft brush? Or just stick to the softer colors?

So, it looks like the single eyeshadows are back in this collection because MAC sent them to Kandee Johnson to review. There's a photo on her instagram if anyone cares to see. Oh, btw does anyone remember the color descriptions because there was one I was interested but forgot the name of it.

Here's the list from an earlier post:
MAC didn't include eyeshadow singles in the official color story though.

Thank you. I'm interested in Hello, There and Just Wing It.
If it's not in the "official" color story, what does that mean for us?

Never really know with MAC, but some of the shades on the initial list are now in the x9 palette (Bird’s Eye View, Flock & Roll, and Sushi Flower). It's possible that someone didn't get the memo and sent her those singles in error.

The BP is the same price as the blush? I thought it was always a couple of dollars more.

According to the press release, yes both blushes and the BP are $22 US and $26 in Canada each. (I'm feeling ancient because I remember when MAC blushes were $16!)

I'd go for the colours you're really drawn to, and just use a veeeeeery light hand and a soft brush. I'm NC15 too, and I've found that this winter, I'm always drawn to deep brushes like Hidden Treasure and colours like this, and I think the solution is how you apply them.
And I, too, remember when blushes were a lot cheaper...

This collection is a nice grouping of pinks and corals and peaches, but...
At first post, this collection was pretty much a skip - i'm just not much of a pink girl.
I already own Pearl Blossom Beauty Powder, and i rarely wear full-on peachy cheek products, so that's a skip.
I was hoping for This Could Be Fun - Soft violet purple - Blush. But i know MAC and when they say "violet" and/or "purple", it's usually some variety of magenta. And it's no different this time. So that's a skip.
And i was interested in some of the single eyeshadows. But since they're in a X 9 palette, and i don't like enough of them, it's not worth it to me. So that's a skip.
I don't wear magenta or bright pink or orange-y lipsticks, so none of those. I do wear pinky peaches or peachy pinks sometimes, and of the swatches, Long Legged & Fabulous looks like a peachy pink - so i'll swatch it, but i don't have my hopes up. So, one weak maybe...
So now almost a complete skip. Good for my wallet...
