with 1 lg, 4 ls for $17.50 and all 6 shadows for $21.50 I get $216 without the taxes and the face stuff. Must save my pennies.

Maybe you don't need all four l/s? We don't know the finishes yet. If the purple is a Lustre or patchy etc you could probably skip, and maybe some of the other shades are dupeable as well.

Bust out from surf baby was pretty. I did skip the fantasy flowers ones since I had no money. And wasn't feeling well.

Just looked up Peachstock on T's site and it is not on my list anymore. For glosses it is definitely (3) Modern Lure, Water Deities and Seducing Sound. UK ladies sorry if asked or posted before but about what date you expect this to launch? Skipping Proenza, Glitters and By Request completely. Just may get (2) lipglosses from Playland and a Sultana lip pencil mid April when Playland launches. Saving my pennies for this collection. I want to see which EDES is really popular to narrow my lemming for ALL of them. I don't see any that I can say is CCOs bound!
I guess it will be May 2nd for us in Germany because collections normally launch at the first working day of the new months. I'll be there when the store opens and swatch everything!!!
I showed the pics to my mom: - ''Look, that's MAC's summer collection this year, isn't the packaging gorgeous? The beautiful colour and it actually looks like real waterdrops on the...'' - ''Ya, but you don't need any of it.'' :blinks: Ouch. :haha:  
Haha, my mom would be the same! However, I showed hubby the pics and he looked at my enraptured face and asked if there'd be a discount when you buy the whole collection! I told him he'd be free to ask when he buys me everything hehe!
I can't tell either :/ I looked up pics of the 128 but the one in this collection looks slighty bigger to me... no? Good to know I'm not the only one. :haha: My mom isn't into makeup either. A L'oreal lipstick is fanciest thing in her world, so she would get a heart attack seeing how much my makeup costs, lol.
I'd love to know what brush this is. It really does look bigger than the 128!
Thanks, Liba :) Hope you are feeling better too! I'm trying to destract myself, and make my mom feel better. She could use some destraction too. :unsure: LOL!!!! It's a rock on the Rhine river. There's this tale that a young woman was sitting there, singing and brushing her hair, destracting ships and making them sink.  [COLOR=CD69A1]GC22YE5 Loreleyfelsen - Loreley Rock (Earthcache) in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany created by Crosscountrydog[/COLOR] Aussicht – Maria Ruh | Ferienwohnung Yellowstone There's a famous poem & song about it too. Peter Schreier, Lorelei, Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeut - YouTube
Actually it's a very old tale from the medieval times. That tale spawned everything else. The romanticists in the 19th century were so in love with the tale that they erected the statue on that hill overlooking the river Rhine. The Lorelei tale is actually close to tales of mairmaids who lure seamen to their deaths. So, quite a sinister femme fatale, quite unlike Lorelai and Rory Gilmore! :p

The packaging looks so pretty, I like the look of some things but I don't LOVE anything, can't wait for swatches

which of the two compacts (see me hear me or seduced at sea) do you guys think would be best on someone who is, like, nc5 (not totally sure of that, i just now there is no mac foundation light enough meh). also, dumb question- they are blushes right?

obviously i can't do much choosing cause i'll need swatches, but i'm such a control freak that i want to figure out what i am getting RIGHT NOW.

i'm an adjunct professor, so i probably won't get paid in may... so maybe i'll buy a mac gift card, to 'set aside' money to buy stuff... just need to figure out how much it'd probably be.
i'm thinking one compact and one lipstick (prob mystical?)

I feel the same way! Now that pics are sinking in, nothing is grabbing me as a MUST HAVE! Either my collection is too big already or my low but goals are really setting in... Or both! I am in love w the packaging though! But I can't let myself buy a ton just for that reason! Ultimately I really want to like 1 lippie, 1 blush, 1 compact product, and maybe 2 shadows. We'll see. I'm making MAC work for my money this year!

Awe crap all the shadows are new?! They are my ED weakness! Hopfully it can be narrowed down by the colors I already have. Want the compact but I've never really used bronzer. But if it's light enough I might consider it I own all the edsfs except for Glorify. Kinda wish I could have waited so I can have it in this packaging lol. I'm on a sf no buy, but if these are new colors I might be in trouble haha. Pretty sure I'll want both blushes though! Not too sure bout the lippies just yet. Hopefully I like at least one. I might actually get a gloss. I like the look of these. And the bag is so purdy! Might snag that up. It's so pretty I might use it as a clutch lol

darling breather.. I highly doubt we will see many swatches of these before the mad rush is on. It's just a premoniton of deja vu .. like, been here, done it, got or skipped or missed. Take it or leave it.

We are on MAC's bitch boat.. and we either sink or swim .. lol
