Top is Dame's Desire
Bottom is Memorabilia

Thanks Shontay and DonnaN for the great swatches. I originally said that I would only get Coral Crepe from this collection and it looks like that hasn't changed. Although there are some lovely things I wouldn't mind having I am trying to be good since I just bought some NARS and Chanel summer items and I think To The Beach might be a bigger haul than previously thought.

I can't wait to get my hands on Coral Crepe though. I keep imagining how it will look with greens and teals.

Oh my gosh, I'm even more excited for this collection now! I wish I could buy online, but I want to B2M for Dressmaker, Dressmaker & I don't want to wait to do it all online and wait that long, LOL.

My updated list:

Instant Chic blush (SOO excited!)
Dressmaker, Dressmaker l/s (B2M)
Made to Order l/s (swatching this first, though)
Fold & Tuck l/g (again, swatching!)

I'm going to force myself to skip over all the shadows/eye products. I will swatch Coral Crepe, though, and maybe that'll sneak its way into my purchase!

I'm so in love with what I got from this collection that I'm tempted to get more. Of course I'll be getting Paper Bag, Pret-A-Papier, Kraft and Tissue Weight, but I think I'll give Archetype and Dressmaker, Dressmaker another look. I find that a lot of sheer colors like Archetype, Front Lit, Bubbles can look crazy on me like I just ate a powdered donut. However, there has to be ONE out there for me right? So I'll try Archetype again for the hell of it. And maybe Dressmaker will work if worn lightly. I am more skeptical about that one, though.

I need to swatch hipness and the lustre drops are up in the air. I got Sun Rush before and it did nothing for me. Maybe Pink Rebel will work.

Trust me Shontay, Hipness is going to look fabulous on you!

I really love the colors in this collection. I am sold on the Coral Crepe paint pot. I think this one is going to be just awesome! I can see it now, making all my orange, pink, peach and coral eye shadows pop. Even with purples. So happy MAC released it.

I just saw the getty photos of the release party. I love how they put these events together!

Picked up Light over Dark at the CCO today. I swatched it again, and it has really got me excited for Thursday. I really like it and I want to try it as a shadow as well. I am not completly sure about all the shadows in the collection, nor to I want to spend my money on all of them, but I love the thought of different shades of brown, purple, coral and grey together. I have to see what is in my stash that I can work with to create some inspired looks.

So Donna's swatches have made my decisions for me. Definitely Tissueweight, Gazette Grey, and Instant Chic. I think I'm going to wait to hit the counter until after I get my hair cut this coming Saturday, but I don't want to miss on Instant Chic, so I think I'll order that online and get the new Opulash, too. Just going to need to scrounge up a free shipping code for Tuesday, then.

I'm going back and forth with either I end up with one thing or three things from this collection. I have decided that I'll get Coral Crepe paint pot and that is all.

Oooh, that sounds intriguing. How would you wear coral with greens? Coral on the lid, green in the crease?

Is Gazette Grey like Mineral from Emanuel Ungaro? Mineral is like a brown grey to me. That is how Gazette Grey looks swatched, but with gold flecks.
