great, swatches! Hibiscus may be off my list now, looks too orange, and I really wanted a glaze. I may just stick with Hot Tahiti for the summer. Bust Out looks very pretty as well.

I really like Krazy Kahuna and may haul 2. I love that its a beautiful shiny chocolate/caramel brown and there is no shimmer. I repeat, no shimmer! That's a lip glass rarity. I had no idea that color was going to be HOT! M.A.C. outside of Shock-o-late doesn't have many true brown glosses either. I am really excited for that one. I like that is doesn't look too dark. wow!

When I go to the store, I am going to take my Illamasqua blusher in Excite with me. Excite is a beautiful coral blush I just hauled and I want to see how close it will be to My Paradise. I will take BOA with me as well.

I'm speculating we may get some more info soon. According to their tweets, Afrobella, Tempatlia and Karen from MBB are in Toronto at M.A.C. now, touring the factory and for "something secret". I can't wait to find out what, and I am hoping they bring back some up coming collections to review.

My List:

Saffron.
Krazy Kahuna
Bust Out

Maybe:

My Paradise

Well, after seeing the swatches of Hibscus it's off my list. Way too orange looking. That was the only l/s I was thinking of hauling. So my list now is ALL of the lipglosses. I hadn't planned to but after looking through my stash last night and finding my NARS multiples in Portofino, Malibu, Maui and Palm Beach, these lipglosses would look great over it.

Anybody know if you can B2M for LE lipglosses?

You should be able to B2M for these. They are special packaging, but not licenced packaging like VV or WW.

edited to add: I am going to change my answer to i don't know, because i read on the B2M thread that items in "deco packaging" (i'm assuming that means special, colorful packaging) can not be B2M for... I recently B2M for my LE Jeanius lipstick and glass with no problem, but they were in standard packaging.

anything in special packaging is a no go for B2M but if it is from a le collection in normal packaging it is fine :)

Thanks for all the links to swatches! Changes my list a bit.

No doubt I'm getting:
Krazy Kahuna - surprised by that. Looks like something I will use often though.
Blue Noon - I'm sure if you google my username and "I love teal eyeliner" you would get a gazillion hits so you know I'm not missing this one.
Saffron

Maybe:
Gilded White - though is tilting more toward will get. I like different color eyeliners.
Sun Blonde - need to see good swatches to see if it really just looks gold.
My Paradise - I doubt I'll get this as it's looking a little to close to BoaA for me I can just put Albatross or the light side of MA to get the gold effect. Since coral blush is a brown girl's friend, (so therefore I have 3 and ordering another 1 tomorrow) I'm trying to make sure I don't duplicate anything too closely as I'd rather spend money on something unique.

Still excited about this collection though.

I also am trying to decide between Short Shorts and Swell Baby or Fresh Daisy and Groundcover. With the greys, there is at least a difference in the finish - Swell Baby is a satin and Groundcover is a matte. With Short Shorts and Fresh Daisy, both are frosts, but the latter may have a bit more of a hint of yellow than the former. I'd like to see the two swatched together

Exactly! Hope someone sweet will swatch them together.

After seeing swatches & finding out about Semi Precious, my must-have list has slightly decreased...
My new must-haves:

- My Paradise blush
- Hibiscus l/s
- Gilded e/l

and my "maybe" is Sun Blonde e/s. I gotta start saving now for Semi Precious! Sorry Surf Baby :(

Usually I don't buy more than 3 items from every collection, just the things that I really like, if I like anything. My last haul was Peacocky but from this collection I want almost everything

I think it's more because of the colour. Acid Washed from Jeanius looks very sheer in swatches i've seen too and that was a light colour like Dream. I will see when Fashion Flower comes out if darker colours are more pigmented in the glaze formula:)

Acid washed is sheer.. and looks great over soft pinks or corals.. it is not a ls imo, but a finish lip product.
