Maybe this collection should have been called Taste Temptations. Which btw I ordered Passionately Tempted blush yesterday. I love collections like that...where you can take your time deciding on items.

I ended up purchasing this today from the Lise Watier Pastel Power collection. It's a similar concept to the Pearlmattes with pink, peach and light blue "illuminating" beads. When you swirl a brush into it you can't see any individual colors, and they don't mix to create a brown or anything.. it's just a subtle luminous glow to the skin. I used it as an all-over powder after F&B foundation and MSFN (but you might want to skip areas where you're naturally oily - shiny forehead is not good). I thought it looked gorgeous!! Definitely a new staple for me. I'm really glad I tried this one out before having to blindly make a decision on these PMs. I do hope they will be very similar - low color payoff, illuminatingly glowy..not like the Archie's PMs which I can only use as a blush. Not sure how these will fare on darker skin tones (I'm NC15 for reference) and swatches will be fairly useless I think..

I like to make lemonaid cake in the summerI made a warm lemon pudding cake on Sunday.

This thread is really making me crave sweets. I think I'll need to make/buy a really good dessert to hold me off until this collection comes out.

Those look like Guerlain's meteorites which I have and use as an everyday highlighter.

This collection will release April 6th in the Netherlands and will be a Bijenkorf exclusive.
I hope it's not an exclusive here too.

I'm so jealous that you get a discount on Mac at Douglas and we don't. It might be available in other places for you, because I believe Douglas exclusives here, were not necessary Douglas exclusives in Germany etc. I'm glad it's available at de Bijenkorf here, since my local counter is inside de Bijenkorf.I hope it's not an exclusive here too.I want to buy at Douglas to get a discount.
That's great
I have to buy online either way. We have 10% coupons floating around most of the time, but I think in other countries like Austria and I believe Poland there are even 20% coupons sometimes, which I'm jealous of too.I think most MAC products are 1-2 Euro cheaper in the Netherlands compared to here, so even with the 10% off it's not that big of a difference.

True. I noticed that too. I have thought about visiting a pro store in Germany, since I can safely B2M my items there too but the German prices are holding me back. Why don't we have the US prices here (converted to euros of course)? Immediately thinking about those poor Ozzies (or OzettesThat's great

) that really have to abuse their wallet when buying MAC in Australia. You see, things could be even worse...

Blegh, another exclusive? Oh well, I can order it online and pick it up at the Bijenkorf.
I do hope they will put everything online this time! I believe with Après Chic they didn't have the msf's and lipsticks online..
