maybe they put it in the collection to deliberately try and get rid of the left over stock??

LMD84 That must be it. And you exposed this secret to the Specktra community.

I didn't plan to get anything from this collection, but ended up picking up Resort Life lip gelee today. Applied in a thin layer, it is gorgeous. The sparkle is obvous, but nothing over the top, IMO. Now, if you layer it on, that's a different story.

i'm guessing we're getting this collection in the uk? *fingers crossed*

Received my little black box at my doorstep today with the Lillyland and All Races and All Sexes stuff I ordered.
I was soooo excited about the cremeblend blushes. I have to say, so far, I am not impressed. I tried applying with my fingertips and with a 190 brush and didn't really love it either way. The colors are super bright too so a little goes a long way. Although the permanent line creme blushes MAC carries are a bit sticky in texture, I like them way better then these new cremeblend blushes. Just wish I would have gone to Nordies and played with them before purchasing online.

Also, the lip gelees are uber glittery. I think they will work ok over a lipstick, but by themselves I look like a tween pretending to know how to put on makeup. I got one in Preppy.
I was also super excited about the Myself lipstick. It really doesn't have much color to it. The swatches looked more pink to me than it actually is on me. It's kind of a sheer taupe on me. Don't hate it, but am not in love with it either.
Anyway, that is my 2 cents worth on the stuff I got from the collections. Hope that helps some of you out. BTW I am NW20 if that helps too!

Aw man...

I have a question about that gloss. Do you notice a scent or taste to it and how sticky is it? I refuse to test stuff in stores. I sniffed this stuff on my hand several times and I didn't smell a thing. Is my nose playing tricks on me?

Nope no scent or taste which is great bc I'm super sensitive....and not sticky or gritty...kinda more on the moisturizing side like a cremesheen. of course, NOTHING beats cremesheen

I just got my 3 creme blushes - they are so GORGEOUS on!

Mine are not oily feeling at all! They are incredibly soft soft matte but glowy - it feels like a silky primer going on. The consistency is totally amazing both to apply & appearance. Made my skin look flawless with a difused look. And, they are so so beautiful on the lips too! For me, these are the best blushes next to the BPB.

So sweet so easy is the prettiest soft baby pink on the cheeks but a wearable pink & a very soft muted matte pink on the lips. Made my lips look soft too. It reminded me of a very soft light Sweetness blush.

Joie-de vivre - this is still my favorite!!! It is more pink coral than coral on my skin & a fabulous coral on my lips. I recommend this color if you only want one.

Florida went on my skin like a more fuchsia based sweetness. So very pretty. Went on my lips a little bit darker - but gorgeous.

I really, really love the consistency & the colors.

 

[elegant-one]

Of course they are pigmented, but if you use your fingers lightly like the MA always show they blend perfectly into the skin giving that healthy look. You can always add more.

I disagree with the consistency being terrible. They are very silicone smooth creamy without feeling heavy at all. Like I said above - feels like a wonderful primer.

FYI - I used mine on just bare skin. I want that healthy natural look.

 

[Swirlgirl]

So So So So Excited for these blushes! I hope they have decent staying power on my oily skin...the colors are just so pretty. The texture sounds divine! And I can't wait to see the sparkly, squeezy lipgelees. I'm anxiously awaiting my black box of these lovely goodies.

^ I don't think they could have done the colors any better imo

They are alll so pretty. I only picked up So Sweet So Easy, but I am half tempted to get more. Just not sure if I can pull these off everyday, or if they're more like night-life makeup...

Absolutely perfect for everyday. You can make them very sheer natural so your cheeks are very subtle - really. They are perfect. I wouldn't lie to ya

I'm getting backups of So Sweet & Joie de vivre - that's how much I love them

Ahh then I definitely need to stop by MAC just one more time....

They are so pretty, it's true. I have been thinking about them all day!

Winthrop - I know you like to know the ingredients of the creme blushes. Of course there is a laundry list, but as far as oils - only (Olive) fruit oil & (Grape) seed oil are the only 2 listed.

 

[Swirlgirl]

I love it when makeup just sort of becomes one with the skin - - and that sounds exactly like what these blushes do...I ordere So Sweet & Joie de vivre and just can't wait to play - they seem like the *perfect* flush of color.

 

[clslvr6spd]

Anyone else try Optimistic Orange?

 

[elegant-one]

^I was tempted to get the orange - mostly for my lips. But, I was thinking it just might be pretty very sheer with one of the highlight mineral powders over it.
The Mac artist I saw was wearing a similar orange look & it was pretty on her.

That's a great way to put it & thats exactly what they do. Which, is why they can work for any skin color imo

I hope you love them!
