that said, I am waiting for some damn sunshine to take these as the flash makes the gleam crazy bright. bbl.

Can't wait! :)

i want the lavendar blush and the pink blush. i was wanting the mint nail polish, but the longer i wait for this collection, the more i think i may skip the nail polish because i've never spent more than like $5 on a nail polish. the quite cute lipstick is looking cute.

the whole collection is looking quite cute to me! lol! and i understand what you mean about paying lots more money on a polish.

I neeeed giggly! and maybe a lipstick, perhaps play time? hmm....

It is hard to spend that much on nail polish, if they were $10-11, it might be a bit easier!   That being said there's lots of minty nail polishes out there right now.  If these have a really great formula I might consider them though.  

Right now I'm considering:

the quad (if Temptalia gives it a good review)

Playing Koi (I really hope this looks good on me!)

Quite Cute (again, has to swatch well, I don't want it to be streaky looking)

Sakura!  (probably a must! If I don't get this one I'll get giggly because I just can't resist the heart)

and maybe a nail polish if they have a good formula :)

My wants always change dramatically after seeing more swatches, especially with lip products since they can look nice as a swatch but gross and/or streaky on the lips!  I think I have pretty much considered all of the things in this collection though at once point, I love all things cute and this collection totally gives me that.  

I feel the same about the nail polishes! It is a lot of money, but this might be the one collection i really splurge on.

No more pink blushes for me at the moment but Ive got to have sakura and miss behave :D. For sure quite cute since I have yet to have one lavender lippie in my collection. The plushglass, both lipliners since Ive heard great things about them and own none, and two nail polishes.

let's see if these go thru.. I always have a devil of a time with photobuck..

lavender is the blush I focused the most because it is THE most difficult one to product as it is a mix of red,white,yellow and blue.. I swiped them wet and dry (on top of hand) and it is barely visible.. the peach one is def a highliter and the minty green in the middle makes it a great highliter for the face or anywhere but I wouldn't call it a blush.. and the pink is a soft pink swatched wet too... the Yum Yum ls is a blue based pink -- nice, strong pink but nothing not dupeable imo.

don't kill the messenger

THIS DOES NOT WORK.. USE THE other one.. lol

throws shoe

I wish I could cut down my wish list. I guess I really can, but I just don't want too.

I am still buying the quad, playing koi, quite cute, candy yumyum & playtime lipsticks.

Sakura blush is also on my wish list. I decided to only get one blush. I think Miss Behave will be

too light on my skin.

HerGreyness, the link above worked!!! I see the blushes and the swatches!

They look nicely pigmented. Would you mind telling us which swatch belongs to which blush? Thank you so much!

Of course not. But you are asking a bunch of addicts:)
 

Thank you HG,  they look lovely.

lol eyeshadowaddictedone.. we are indeed.

Peachy.. let me see what I did or didn't do.. lol, it;s been overcast so I may take them again cause they are quite light..

hand: on top, the lavender blush app with 188 brush using the both colours - damp

         below:  lavender part of lavender blush

         right next to lavender blush: pink part of lavender blush

         below both: pink blush app with 188 brush -- damp

far end of hand: YUM yum lipstick

2nd image -- ditto as above but no flash

3rd image -- peach blush with green center.. hardly visible as the flash makes it almost dissappear

4th image-- comps for the lavender blush

my fingers -- LAVENDER blush MAC pro, Lavender blush mixed, Peach blush mixed almost whitish base, pink on pinkie finger

I thought I labeled them, but I am still jet lagged..lol.  The time difference on the way back kills me.

these blushes are lovely as finish products.. but I do not think they will be so good for darker skins.

I have Hang Loose and Two Virtues and that pink blush looks nothing like them

thanks hg! love the swatches.. bt im still sticking to the pink blush. the other blushes will not be visible on my nc30 skin.

i'm cheap when it comes to nail polishes lol. i'm a sally hanson fanatic. great colors at around $2-$3. however, i received a NARS nail polish for free once from beauty.com, and i really liked it. i've never tried a nail polish from MAC before. if the formula is said to be really good...i may have to just break down and get it.  (or wait for a dupe!). i know i want the pink blush for sure & maybe the lavendar one. i'm patiently waiting for swatches on temptalia's blog to see how they look on her! as much as i love green and as cute as the beige blush with the green heart looks, i know for a fact that it won't show up on me as anything more than a highlight. (i have too many highlighters) i'm going to skip that one. i can't wait to see the swatches of the collection actually on the lips and cheeks. i'm counting down lol

Thank you so much for the swatches and product pics, HG!!! <3

hooray!!!

Thank you, HerGreyness :)

That's confirmed to me that I will still be skipping these blushes completely, even though I am very pale skinned. 

Thanks HerGreyness!

I still want all of the blushes!

they are lovely blushes .. but like I tried to stress with Champale being glittery.. these blushes are pale, unless applied wet and I think work best on lighter skins.

I'm a NC15 so i think i can use them as a blush, except for maybe Miss Behave. Or maybe i can use them on top of another blush. Anyways i will try to find a way to make them work 

Thank you so much for the swatches HerGreyness!!! I think I still need the pink blush...it's just so darn cute! I hope it works for my skintone!

So my list now consists of:

- Giggly blush (I originally wanted the lavendar one, but that one is probably gonna be too light for me)

- the quad FOR SURE. I've been drooling over it since I first saw pictures of it!

- Candy Yum Yum l/s. Also a MUST

- Play Time l/s (maybe...)

- St. Germain (another maybe)

I'm not sure about the plushglasses yet....still debating those, as well as the nail polishes

My list remains at the quad, Candy Yum Yum, and possibly Play Time, depending on swatches

Thanks for the images/ swatches HG!!!! I think I'm definitely pale enough to justify getting that lavender blush and I know I'll get the beige with green sheen just because I love the idea of having that tone as a highlighter...

Right now, my "I'll be good" list is"

Quad

Playing Koi

Quite Cute

Sakura

Miss Behave

If money is tight, I'll skip the glosses and Play Time, since it looks much pinker than I was hoping. I'll likewise pass on QC if it's too close to either Lavender Whip or Blooming Lovely. I'm teaching myself to behave... (and there's a bunch of things that I want to grab from other companies upcoming collections)
