Out of curiosity, does anyone else think that the model in the promo pick looks like a surfer zombie? Her eyes are just a little too intense...

bahaha! that was what i was thinking! she looks like a tanned zombie...pretty sure a lot of it has to do with the lighting.

i just don't understand why they didn't use athletic-surfer-looking-people?!

I agree the promo image isn't very attractive, and not what I'd expect from MAC. I had a similar reaction when I saw the dead-looking model for the canceled Rodarte collection.

But after seeing the packaging and colors for the products, I can't help being excited about this collection! Especially for the hibiscus-decorated powder! <3

What's weird is that I actually liked the Rodarte model, despite the ghost look. Maybe I find ghosts less creepy than zombies? I don't actually hate the image, I just find it a little eerie...

Yeah, it's not an "I hate" for me either, more of a "huh?" Especially considering the white packaging these items are coming in. I expected more of a fun-loving, playing volleyball on the beach, girls smiling kind of image associated with the collection, not a serious looking one. Even the quality of the image--it looks blurry and blown-out. Just not the kind of MAC promo image I expected.

It seems like the bronzer is in the Careblend formula. It looks very light and not too orange. I really hope spring is coming soon, I want to buy more bronzers than I could ever wear ;) Thanks for the links!

oh are sun tints bad, Lou? I've never heard anything about them....
yeah they came out with baby blooms in 2009 i believe. when mac first launched the tinted moisturiser. they are a runny, goopy mess and just not great at all. :( so save your money guys!

Too funny, katred! This is my first time seeing surfer and zombie in a same sentence.

Is that the second blush in the latest link as it looks a soft peachy colour and in the other images we have seen, it seems a dark coral.

That was going to be my question too, I can't figure out if there's one blush or 2 in this collection, allglam lists 2 in the color story but at Temptalia is only one and in the promo pics there are 2 but I think it's the same blush

From thereal life pic I saw at the previous page, the blush looks more orangey coral, like a coral Peaches, and I like that, I don't like corals with red or pink in.

I don't know why and I'm sure I'll regret this but I'm lemming the sun tints LOL I keep hearing the formula sucks but I'm a sucker for lip balms at summertime.

I'm going to really love this collection... I prefer this one to quite cute... probably because it's a warm collection! Coral is my favourite shade on lips and cheecks... but I feel I already have enough coral blushes (virgin isle and bite of an apple)
I've recently bought Strange potion on ebay and I'm waiting it to arrive! If I like it a lot I'll buy a backup with surf baby!!

These are probably the worst promo pics and packaging I've seen from MAC. Hibiscus lipstick looks great, but I won't be buying it.
