Word mama, word. Because being a member of team purple, I have snatched up about every purple lippy that MAC makes, and trust me I love each and every one, but nothing even compares to Lavender Whip for me. I think they keep releasing purples in the belief that we will buy them thinking they are the next Lavender whip but no cigar, sweetheart.
What I'd really, really, really like to see is a Satin or Matte that looks the same color as Lavender Whip.
Overall, I am not too impressed with this collection thus far. I wish the pigments could be purchased individually and also as a set which would cost less than buying them all together to give incentive to buying the "stack." That would be too customer friendly however, and not profitable enough.
I am with you Shontay, I neither love nor hate the overspray. It does discourage me from wanting to use the product because I want to keep it pretty, but it is makeup after all and meant to be used. And yeah they keep cranking out coral blushes but isn't that typical for a Spring/Summer line up? I wonder if they want to capitalize on the frenzy that went on with ML last year but without being too obvious about it.
I am loving the Hibiscus with you ladies but I think it is totally dupeable if its a Lustre or a Glaze. On the other hand if its a Satin or a Matte, which I am betting it isn't, I will be all over that puppy.
Honestly, I am mostly interested in the blush stick multiples knock offs and the make up bag. If the rest wasn't in soem special packaging, I wouldn't be SRSLY considering it...
[/quote] It seems coral has been the thing for the past couple of years, yes. When I hear that there will be a coral blush, though I am always wondering how many can you come out with before it's redundant. Coral lipsticks or even shadows can vary greatly, but a blush? I am more skeptical. I have 2 Marine Life blushes and a slew of other corals both Mac and non-Mac. From the swatches in the swatch thread, I am led to believe that this one leans more orange. That would excite me. The only orange blush I have is Taj Mahal by Nars. However, I'm thinking either the flash or the complexion of the person plays into it looking more orange, because the same person swatched Saffron and it looks extremely orange. On me, Saffron is a deeper, brownish-coral. We shall see. I'm hoping to skip, but if I can see that it earns a place among the slew of coral blushes I own, then I cannot deny it. I think I will go ahead and get Sun Blonde because I don't believe I own a yellow(just gold) and Short Shorts. I really want to use SS in the tear duct. I'm still hopeful that the goldish eyeliner will flatter me unlike the one from Cham Pale. PS: What Mac really needs to do is give me a straight up purple blush. Not a mineralized blush, either. A Satin, pigmented, true purple blush. I would never say another snarky thing about Mac ever.
