WOW those shadows look GORGEOUS! I hope they hurry up and give me a part-time position or else I'm going to go broke on this collection just like I did with Barbie lol.

For those of you who were commenting on the display for this collection, I found out some cool info about how they did the promo ad.
Not sure if i can post this, but here goes:

Basically, the article talks about how they came up with this animated still for MAC (and i am guessing the promo pic too)

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find it. Supposedly though, they should be playing it at MAC stores? Or perhaps they just took the animation and turned it into the promo pic. Then the animation was shown to MAC employees? Just a hunch

MAC almost always creates a video for the big launch within an update/launch period.

Not all stores have the equipment to play them though.

I'm sorry but that is bullshit! No other cosmetic brand would release colours like this, the lipsticks and eyeshadows sound really unique and i can't think of a collection they've released like this..

floral fantasy is nice but if its too close to s&r i'll pass
i do like moonflower but i cant seem to make purple work on me
other than that i like the sounds of:
propagate l/s
flowerplay l/s
jardin aires piggie
provence piggie since i missed it first time around
prize petal l/g
now watch this list get narrowed down to, like, 2 thing.
i usually have a long list and then when i see the colors in person it gets cut in half lol

Can't wait!
Moonflower kinda looks like that blue color (A Bluer Blue & Nightbird, which are exactly alike)that were in the last Holiday Palettes. Love it! If so I'm definitely gonna stock up!

May 3rd's my birthday. But alas I'm not in the US. I love the blue eyeshadow (moonflower?)!!
But wonder if there'll be a quad for this collection... hmmm

I've seen the video, it's just 3-D orchids moving/dancing to a tune. The promo pic isn't a still from the video. The vids are usually meant to set a mood for employees and visitors to a store.

(and for me sort of pay an homage to the collection and it's unique spirit)

yellow taupe makes me think of jasmine eyeshadow....


I agree or maybe Summer Neutral form last year, which I love but some people think it's ugly but, I don't care. I wish they would do another Olive Groove eyeshadow, it was from a couple or so years ago and came in a gold colored pot. I loved that, anyone else?

This and MoonBathe are going to break my bank. Hopefully I'll be able to work a few more days to afford this!!

In response to the video thing, I remember the video for CultureBloom, I was actually given a cd with it as a promo at a MAC store in Soho I think. It's pretty cool. All these different makeup artist, celebrities, and fashion designers talking about spring colors and the collection, with this really cool floral computer generated stuff everywhere.
