Some of the photos I am seeing are showing it looking aqua not great in the tube.

ummmmm... Summer Shower is supposed to look like it's light aqua?? That is most definitely green

oh well. I like green just as much if not more than blue, so I'll definitely be getting that.

Also, I thought that was going to be the only thing I was getting, but swatches and piccies have changed my mind!

I now want:

Summer Shower Lipstick
Mlle Lipstick
Light Sunshine Beauty Powder
Aqua Eyeshadow (I know it's up right now on the site, but I really like the print, so I'll get it with this)
Fresh Daisy Eyeshadow
and mayyyyybbbee Groundcover. maybe.

wohoo. Nice Happy Birthday Collection To Me!!

I just found a photo of a swatch of the gold lipgelee and it was definitely gold sheer base with glitter in it- not sure if the glitter was silver or gold. Hard to tell. They look as glittery as the one from the Disney collection

According to Temptalia . . .this is launching April 28th in the US


I really wanna see more swatches of the lipgelees cuz in the promo pic they look really glittery. I hope they arent overly glittery cuz if they are I will pass. I love me some sparkly and a lil glitter but I hate all glitter and no sparkly . .. hmmm . This collection might be a pass afterall.

Then it should be avail in pro stores right?

 

[UrbanSweetheart]

seems like I'm going to be passing on those beauty powders...

 

[kimbunney]

I think I want all the lipgelees! They look great.

 

[UrbanSweetheart]

I can't wait to see more swatches of the coral one ^_^

I think I want all the lipgelees! They look great.

 

[fleur de lis]

I really want to see swatches of the coral lippie. Interested in the beauty powders but worried the lighter one won't be v useful even though I'm super pale. We'll see!

 

[Alisha1]

I really wanted Alpha girl but its so bloody sheer!

My list so far is:
Summer Shower l/s
Ever Hip l/s
Growing Trend l/s
Budding Beauty l/g

Karen writes at her blog post that FF will come out in July internationally! Are they kidding??? Nothing at June for us???? I want that Lipgelee.............NOW and not at July!!

And then Temptalia has it coming out in May internationally, presumably with Flighty at the same time. That would make 4 collections for May with Surf Baby and the launch of the MCP's. Seems a bit much for one month.

i'm going with alpha girl over the paler powder i have wanted it since heatherette and the lighter one does not seem that unique

hmm, I'm not sure which BP I should go for, or if I should just skip...? Light Sunshine looks kinda pretty, but I'm not sure if it would look good as a blush for pale cheeks or if it should only be used as a highlighter. And Alpha Girl...I feel like it would show up a lot more on my cheeks since I'm pale, but I'm just not sure. Decisions, decisions!

I'm thinking I will get Ever Hip and Summer Showers though at least. I remember for Liberty of London, I was just not quite confident with lipstick yet. I liked the sound of Ever Hip, but I was just more of an eye person at the time! I am kicking myself for that, because I missed so many gorgeous lipsticks and lipglosses in that collection!

temptalia has more swatches up and so does Vampy Varnish http://www.vampyvarnish.com/?p=15182

This collection is becoming more and more of a bust. Alpha Girl and most of the shadows aren't very pigmented and worst of all Summer Shower has no color payoff! It's going to be like Liquid Lurex just a bunch of glitter!

Walking away with
lucky green
Bows & Curtseys

 

[LisaOrestea]

oh wow, summer shower looks BOOORING.

Now in season is calling to me though. I havn't touched Goldyrocks in a while cause its so close to being finished up - so I could definitely do with a new yellowy gloss to replace it.

 

[RayannaBanana]

Who thinks Groundcover isn't worth getting now?

 

[peachsuns]

I can't wear very pale lipsticks as they make me look anaemic, and as if I have no lips. I can't wear dark lipsticks either, without looking like a vampire LOL.

I've been careful not to buy any lipstick which color is lighter than my own lips. I know they look weird on me.

 

[m0rg3nst3rn]

I found Temptalia's lipstick swatches, it's weird because there isn't a link to them on the main page, I found it on one of the other fashion flower pages she posted.

I think I still want Summer Shower, it gives a nice sheen to the lips, and if Ever Hip looks like the original, I'll get that too. I am thinking only those and Bows & Curtsey though...and maybe....maybe...Fresh Daisy,,,,maybe

 

[BeautyByLele]

I called my local MAC Pro and the MA said it will be in stores on April 28th, she stated the collection got moved up from May 5th

 

[OctoberViolet]

I've decided to stay true to myself. I am skipping this collection entirely. I am still planning on buying from Flighty & Surf Baby for now.
I'm hoping that Semi Precious' lipsticks will have more coverage in them. Not liking the sheer stuff. Can't wait for the Fall/Winter collections. Sorry that I keep repeating that statement, but those are more my type of collections & the color payoff is usually better for me.

I really like how Summer Shower looks on Christine... but it hardly showed up on Karen (who is also NC35) but I think it would be a fun lipstick to own anyway.
That is going on my list.
I also really like how Alpha Girl looks, so it might also come home with me.
Definitely buying Budding Beauty and Ever Hip as well.
Though in Karen's swatch, Budding Beauty looks rather sheer-y...
