By the way, thanks for convincing me to get a Sun Tint, I ended up with Abalone and it's going to be PERFECT for kayaking and jet skiing, just like you said

Is everybody done with HS?

I might BU another bronzer if I get a chance.
I still have to wait to pick mine up from Nordstrom (Crew, Jaunty & Send Me Sailing), but I am pretty much done unless a bronzer wows me (which I honestly doubt, but I am willing to try).

Riviera Life is one of the most pigmented glosses I own...it is absolutely gorgeous! The gold shimmer in it makes it beautiful and IMO a must have for summer tanned skin!

I'm pretty much your coloring, just slightly darker (NC20-25ish) and I've been pondering Fleet Fast for a couple of weeks now.

Yes, I did get Fleet Fast. I loove it. It's a rosier and more pigmented version of Stunner. It is more pigmented, but in the same family as the Tres Cheek blushes. FF is buildable but still very pigmented. It gives me just a slight rosey glow, which I love. I'll try to wear it in a look this week and post a picture. I wore it on Monday but it was very dark and overcast here in Oregon so the lighting wasn't really that great. I'll bust out the digital camera again at some point!

Thanks, Duck! You just sold me on Fleet Fast. I love Stunner but it doesn't show up on me as much as I'd like.

Just ordered it (along with Sun Dipped, Blue Stripe, and Black Line) from Nordstroms. Good grief, I've spent a ton of money on a collection I was going to skip....

That was me and I stand by what I said! It's ah-may-zing! Even after you wipe or blot it off there are little shimmers left behind on your lips. It's pretty cool.

I should skip this collection as I have enough lippies, blushes, etc., but I'm still thinking about the goodies in the pretty stripe packaging.

Did anyone see the collection at Macy's (not online actual stores) today?

I got my goodies yesterday afternoon and they are gorgeous!!! Except that my Cleanse Off Oil sprang a leak and was nearly half empty when I opened it's box, and there was oil covering all of my stuff!!

I called MAC and told them what happened and now they're sending a free replacement for the Cleanse Off Oil!! Oh how I love thee MAC!!!

Thankfully, my Hey, Sailor! stuff was in perfect shape,thank you sweet baby Jesus!!!

My goodies:

Fleet Fast - Beautiful rose/coral color on me...I have to layer this to show up on my NC45 tone but I don't mind...it reminds me of Early Morning except FF has a slight gold sheen to it.

Riviera Life - OMG GORGEOUS!! Extremely pigmented!! I agree with previous posters that said that EVERYONE NEEDS THIS!!

Send Me Sailing - My first RED lipglass and it's also very pigmented and lovely!!! I can't wait to wear this over my other red lippies!!

I plan on getting the Gone Sailing tote since Temptalia said that it's pretty big and Blessedly Rich l/g with my next order!!!!!

Thanks for posting that. I can stop obsessing about tracking RR down. I never got the low down on if it is THAT different from MAC Red or not.
Don't tell me that--I am already regretting skipping the blush. I caved & got both bronzers, I love Sun Dipped.
Don't tell me if you can make Salute work. After I anti-enabled myself, I don't want to go searching for it. If it is anything like Peachstock, it will be HIDEOUS on me. The packaging is so cute on the Sail La Vie, I am trying not to get anymore lipsticks, but the special packaging is so hard to resist. I only skip the nude and the red because I have gazillions of those already. The number of nudes in my current stash is ridiculous. And half of them make me look either like a crack head or a zombie.
Just to back everyone up on anti-enabling for you.....

Don't feel too overworked about Red Racer. It's a more mainstream red, overall - when it works, it works great, but if it's not perfect, it'll look pretty normal, like a lot of other reds. The texture is really nice on it, but personally, I had zero trouble passing on it. And besides...Ruffian Red is right around the corner, as well as Fire Sign (which I think is going to be awesome if it's that current lustre formula), and that red lip/cheek pot from Casual Color (which I'm really interested in seeing, since it's got a sort of off-bright shade that will work for day/night and any season of the year, almost a Viva Glam I vibe). Then, you KNOW there will be red in the Marilyn collection - no dearth of RED in our futures!

Those blushes are very pretty and easy to use - those are the hardest ones for me to be The Anti-Enabling Demon over. If you have the Naturally blushes and are good about layering them on in different ways, you can get a similar look, but obviously no gold sheen and a bit trickier until you get your personal touch down with them. I DO think we'll see some more blushes like the HS ones for fall - the trend is definitely going in that direction. If you get them, though, you will love 'em, so

I'm really picky about nudes and Salute is beautiful on me, but it could look yech on some people too, so if you can't try it on in person, or if you already have a nude that's really good for summer (with not too much white, pastel look to it), you can pass. Can you wear Sheer Mandarin sheen supreme? If you can, you can pull off Salute. It needs very smooth lips, though - the texture is creamy but not too forgiving either.

Doh, forgot about my lemming for a Sun Tint. Can't decide between Abalone and Au Rose. And on a gloss low buy. WWSD?
Tell yourself they're not glosses, but balms, so you don't need to worry about being on a gloss low buy.

Since neither impart much in the way of colour, I would consider whether you want sparkle or not, to help you decide. I got Au Rose because I love a little sparkle on my lips

I love the brush. I've been using it to apply nude on board. You guys are making me want to go back and get Riviera *must resist temptation*
