The only thing I like the look of is the powder, but it's only because i like the imprint and the collector in me likes compacts with LE packaging. But in reality I dont need it. First time a summer collection completely underwhelms me. I like that third lipstick in the picture above but I have so many like it.

Same! And I've been getting really bored with MAC lately... been spending my money elsewhere. But I do still have to get OD, maybe Glow With It and maaaybe another Superb because according to T this one is a bit different.

I'm starting to think this might be a big haul for me. But who knows by the time it releases, competition may be stiff. I thought Electric Mandarin sounded familiar from the Oh My Banana eyeshadow palette. I just looked it up and it was a single in the Chris Chang collection.
For those with blue eyes, EM is fantastic. It's very buildable, so you can go for a sheer wash of color or make it really intense. Blue eyes will just pop.

The Pearlmatte is so pretty!

For my taste, it's just ok. It reminds me somehow of a drugstore highlighter. :rolleyes: It the outer packaging with the black background that makes it a bit tacky. I like the design on the clear Fix+bottle much better. I will see how it swatches and then decide if I need it. So far, just bronzers for me.

Yeah, I'm still not all that fond of the black background, but I'm a sucker for powders with pretty designs. I still mourn for the Marine Life powder that I tried so hard to get. I might get a few bottles of the coconut Fix+.

It really is. I'm just worried that mixed together it will just look like a bronzer on my skin which is not what I'm looking for.
Yeah, there's a good chance it might. Might be more of a bronzy blush. If it ends up too bronze, I might just use the other colors only. I'm not sure I'd wanna try to tan again in order to wear it, not after my last 2 month long sunburn.

I was expecting Baiana Bronze to be darker than that... there's nothing Medium Deep about that! *eye roll* I just wish for the day MAC will release a summer bronzer in LE packaging that anybody past NC50/NW45 can wear. I swear my regular face powder is darker that those bronzers. Back to just the Fix+ if I even bother with it at all.

Yeah, it's silly that pretty much all of their bronzers are so light, most of them look very similar to me. I really wish there was more to this collection though, blushes and eyeliners would have been great, especially a nice bright pink Fluidline, maybe a touch darker and cooler than Process Magenta.

Ouch. I'm basically vampire-pale all year round so I've kinda given up on bronzers. I'm gonna wait for more swatches but I might skip it even though I love how pretty it looks in the pan.

I thought it would be darker too.

It's a pretty boring collection to me, they could have done much more with this theme.

Yeah, I'm super pale too, probably why trying to tan always ends up really bad for me. I like the collection, but I woulda changed some stuff, it could be better. I really wish I would have liked at least most of the eyeshadows in 1 of the palettes, but I only like 1 in the green, 2 in the bright and 3 in the peach/pink and 5 of those are repromotes.

Hi my dear & oh so wise makeup sage :) I have a question for you. A friend on here & I have been on the search for that beautiful soft almost nude peach-ish natural looking eye shadow that you see on so many models & the JCrew models. Any suggestions? I have all the MAC nude/peach shades, but I feel like they're missing something. :heart:

MAC Guy I wanted to tell you- I thought of you the other day when I dropped my How Beautiful BP and it shattered all over.... I loved that BP and I remember I only bought it because you raved about it. So sad about it's untimely demise :violin:
