Aww Lou, I hope your delivery arrives soon and yours is waiting when you get home Wish!

Well, like everyone else my list keeps changing.

Since UD's Covet is close enough to Blue Noon I think I'll just get Covet. It's permanent and looks significantly more pigmented than Blue Noon. I do think I'm going to skip the blush. Not only do I dislike the overspray the fact that it's described as "dusty" makes me want it even less. I'm sure NARS will have something if I really just want a new blush. Last if Krazy Kahuna is that close to Temper Tantra I won't have a problem skipping it.

I'm still getting Saffron and the more I look the more I think I'll give Sun Blonde a try. So that's it - 2 eyeshadows. I'm quite proud of that.

I really don't know what to do about My Paradise. I'll see swatches and they'll make me not want it, then I'll see other ones and they'll make me want it. *sigh*

I think it's something I'd have to see in person but I can't.

I think Sun Blonde and Saffron is a great choice, They go really well together, so pretty next to each other blended slightly together. I am really tempted by going back and getting those two.

I'm having the same issue. I see some swatches where it looks very pink and some where its very orange and I'm not sure what to think. I'll have to wait until it launches in store. Why must it be on the 26th? I'm stressed since I'll be traveling that day to a small town where MAC collections take days to sell out to a much bigger town. They better have everything when I get there! I may call and see if they can put it on hold for me for.

Woop, saw there were more swatches!
Alisha, I love your nails! So cute.
Thanks for the swatches. ^_^
What were your thoughts on Good Lovin' and My Paradise?
I'm a bit iffy on those two. XD

 

[Piarpreet]

That'd be awesome. I like ur swatches and FOTD they look true to life color. Plus you got my skin tone and hair color!
I want bust out but i dont wanna waste my money if it really looks like rebel or UTA. Im not a collectionist like most of you :I dont have a job right now. I need to finish college so i can haul and enjoy!!!!!!!

I actually plan to swatch all of these in the store, because I really need to see them against my skin tone. UTA looks more like an intense mauve shade on me, rather than a "true purple". Rebel casts a bit pink... I think I'm subtly convincing myself I need Bust Out, actually. Which would not be the end of the world, assuming I don't go crazy and buy other things.

Don't know if you're asking me, but now you're getting my opinion

Good Lovin is boring. I was just underwhelmed with the light glosses. They really did nothig for me. They were just transparent glosses, nothing more.

My Paradise is a pretty colour. But... I have Marine Life, Ripe Peach, My Highland Honey, Bite of an Apple etc. etc. MAC keep releasing orangey/koral blushes, I keep buying them, and I never wear them. So I am going to skip them. This is not dupable by any of the above, but I just have too many to be able to justify it.

 

[ladyarwen]

Is anyone else as crazy as me and keeps checking the MAC site, as well as Macys and Nordstrom to see if the collection's been added yet? <_<

 

[katred]

When is Surf Baby out in Canada anyways? I need that blush!

Supposed to be May 19th at Pro stores and May 26th everywhere else.

I still find I'm waffling a bit. I have to say that the only one I'm absolutely sure I want is Sun Blonde. Everything else is sort of up for discussion. I love the look of Surf USA, but I was thinking yesterday about the number of teal colours I already have, and about the fact that I don't do teal-based looks all that often...

The must have product for summer - my latest specktra blog post guys!

Thanks hun - whenever I mess up my nails I always use a konad pattern so no one focuses on my crappy polish application techniques hee hee!

Anyhow like someone said previously Good Lovin' is pretty sheer but it does give a tinge of colour. I wore it over Hibiscus and

the combo! I think its a great layering gloss
I like My paradise only when its mixed with the glitter. The orange colour is pretty but its not anything special but when the two colours are mixed its a pretty peachy colour with gold sparkles, PERFECT for summer! Its a shame to think the gold will not last - thick as the overspray is, its still overspray

I keep checking to lol wish they would just release it already

So I got home and opened my order. I ordered two Hibiscus lipsticks but I've only got one in the box. I am really peed off, my amazon order has also randomly been sent back without me getting it so it just isn't a good day for me. I couldn't ring mail order to get it sorted out because they were closed so now I am going to have to ring them tomorrow but I am at work and I have hardly any minutes left on my phone for this month so I'm going to have to sneak a phonecall from someone's office. I don't understand why MAC seem to get my orders wrong for some reason whenever it is a special collection. I also don't understand how difficult it is to read the number 2 on a packing slip!

Gracie90, did you get the missing bits from your order yet? Did they question you at all when you rang them? I don't want them to think I'm making it up because I'm not.

 

[ladyarwen]

I decided to use the live chat on the site to ask when this will be launched online, and they still don't have a confirmed release date. I remember seeing someone else on here ask the same question, and they got the same answer. That really makes me wonder.

 

[dxgirly]

I kinda hope that it goes up next week if it's going to go up early because I have no money until Thursday, and I will be livid if what I want sells out before I can get to it.
