Typical
Thank you for the swatches, Anneri! I didn't have time to check the stores today so perhaps tomorrow! Both lippies look lovely on your swatch

[quote name="Anneri" url="/forum/thread/172561/mac-surf-baby-discussion/2220#post_2114427"] Here are my swatches!
Both polishes are a bit greener - my camera never picks up the green in turquiose - and the red lippies are a bit brighter in real life.
It was really funny at my store today - they hadn't have a display out yet, and all products were in a white box through which I rummaged! At first, I didn't see it (of course), asked a MA for 'Surf Baby', and she looked at me as if I talked to her in Japanese...
I didn't get My Paradise after all. The colour is a lovely orange, but for me the overspray is just too glittery and at the end of the day it's just overspray, albeit a very pretty one. I didn't have a closer look at the other products, I was running out of time of my lunch break! *g*
[/quote] Thanks a lot for your swatches, Bust Out is on my list now
I also went to the counter today with Gulf Stream and Playtime and my camera to make swatches and guess what? They did not get the collection and have no idea when they will get it. Really. How hard can it be to deliver a bunch of parcels around Europe? They apparently had issues with the delivery and they told me that they had no idea when it will launch. They hope end of the week, or maybe next. Well, not sure if I'll have time to go back to the counter.. Sorry for ranting.

I will be starting a new job, so I won't have the time to just go to my local stores, and I'mnot sure what access to the internet will be like. I need to give someone my list and cash, so they can grab this for me. I justmight have to ask one of my friends, but they will forget and go like two days later. LOL I'm going to have to do the same for Semi Preciou.

So after reading reviews saying naturally eccentric gives a completely dead look on pales, I've decided to skip so I was going to get politely pink l/s or even myth - a nice pinky nude to replace NE.... So why on earth am I contemplating Hibiscus?!??!!??!! Which will probably look awful on me! Oh merde! MAC always sucks me in... Now I'm all Hibiscus or not? Hibiscus or a nice nude? Arrgghh I hate being indecisive End rant. Sorry guys!
End rant. Sorry guys!

^MrsB - after seeing CYY on you - I think you wear color beautifully! Not that you wouldn't wear nudes just as nicely, but you can def. do color!

darnnit..I told myself I didn't need Surf USA, but after looking at your swatch...I'm in love
As I've said before: Surf USA is very unique. I've got lots of teals, aquamarines and turquoises and there's no other eyeshadow that looks similar so far.
Here are some bad swatches but it's almost night in Germany so no chance for better lightening.

Omg, that swatch of Hibiscus. :drools: I'm getting 2 now. I am going to scratch Bust Out. I just bought Fierce by Illamasqua and after you have that baby, you're pretty much done with purple lippies. So now I'm getting 4 items because I am backing up Hibiscus. :happydance:

When is this launching in the US as I heard it changed?
Here is a video showing some more swatches of the eyeshadows.

Shontay: I too am going to get two Hibiscus l/s too! That color is just too hard to resist! Swell Baby is now making it's way to my list. I wonder how it compares to Bough Grey from GMLOL.

Ooo... I'd like to know this to as I have this one. I'd also like to know how it compares to Smoke & Diamonds as that's one of my most used shades, and it's almost gone!

^Smoke & Diamonds is such a gorgeous color! I need to use mine more often.
