Man, I couldn't take a good selfie if my life depended on it. There is a secrecy about it and cult-like instructions I have not been told about it yet. Your selfie gets two thumbs up, you look gorgeous!For WOC wanting to see OC on a darker skin tone (NC50); I'm in a car shop, so the lighting by no means, is good. Also, I'm not a selfie or picture taker AT ALL so excuse my hands being all up in the view, lol.
It looks pretty faded in these pictures, but it's not. Pigmentation is good. I actually overdid it and had to wipe some off, lol. I also really like being able to control the nuance or shade of the blush depending on how I mix the ombre gradient. I'm satisfied.

My WR is wiggley too. Pink Fringe had a nick/slice into it. My first Mangrove & BU are just fine.

so pretty. Mangrove looks amazing on you. I love that color.That's awesome, glad it worked out for you!!! looks awesome on you!! Mine had the correct label and the invoice had the correct name of the one I ordered. Mine too but vice versa. Better lighting (window light, no flash)
Wow, that sucks. That should not happen at this price point. My Woodrose is fine.
HOW can a big company like MAC screw up this bad? First the delay, then sending customers the wrong product, and to top it all off there seem to be quality issues with the blushes AND lipsticks. It seems like the overall quality is going downhill while they churn out more and more collections. I'd rather see just one collection every two months, but a well planned one where the quality is on point.

I am sorry this happened to you too. It does blowMy skin has some blemishes right now, but oh well! Here's Woodrose. I really like it!
Also, I have on Ocean City in these photos.
Mangrove - The camera makes it really neon looking!
ETA: So, I am absolutely in LOVE with Ocean City. It's PERFECT! I find it to be more pigmented than Sunset Beach. I haven't tried Sunset Beach on yet, but it is pretty. Not SUPER pigmented at first swipe, but it's buildable (did I spell that right? I think I'm having a brain fart after a long day) The color is pretty and I imagine I will love it on!
Both colors look awesome on you. The blush looks equally as great!
Sofa King pretty!!

They shouldn't have rushed it. If they had taken their time and pushed it back until May, maybe things wouldn't be so bad.

She uses a point system for all her reviews, so its not an arbitrary grade. It most have scored low on important categories.
This collection has been a fail all around for me, i only like Mangrove, which isn't all that unique either.

Mine is very pigmented. I just grabbed a big ol fluffy MAC 136 & barely touched the blush & it was almost a bit too much blush so I had to blend it out. crazy
It's becoming more and more apparent that MAC can't even keep up with itself and is tripping up more and more frequently.
But the earnings must be worth it so it will continue to be collection after collection with hits and misses and casualties!
So we have another packed collection month coming up soon....Fun times ahead

This there's is moving so fast I can't be positive this hasn't been mentioned before. Has anyone who purchased either of the blushes from anyone else besides MAC receive shipment notification? My order is getting split up and everything is getting shipped out today except my lonely little OC.

I just read through 500+ posts. I knew it couldn't all be good news and praises. Now I'm at home waiting for my little black box and I realize that I'm going to have to reside myself to receiving Sunset Beach. Tomorrow I'm going to have to get up early and drag my butt over to the store and make sure that I secure Ocean City before I call MAC to find out what they want to to. If SB is in my box and I get my hands on OC instore, then I cannot ship SB back to them fast enough to get a refund.

Haha! That was my experience as well. I didn't even swatch it first but since I'm so fair (NW10 with white mixed in) I took a duo fiber brush and barely brushed it in the blush and got quite a pink cheek. So I thought "damn" this stuff is super pigmented, swatched it and got almost nothing. I was scratching my head like "herrrhhh".

idk if this is normal, but i only ordered one blush and my box came completely empty? so weird.
