I really like the little gold bag. Maybe not so much the belt part it comes with ( It's detachable and I know I will never use it), but I'm definitely going to be using the bag on it's own.
I have always loved the SE brushes. They are easy to take with me when we travel (we stay at disneyland 2-3 times a year and we try to get to vegas a couple of times a year as well), and these seem to be really well made. And very soft! I am also loving the blue.
I will try and use them tomorrow and let you know how that goes. =)

Hi everyone. I usually lurk on this site. It's been a very very long time since I've posted anything! LOL! But I wanted to share my thoughts on this collection.
I just received my order in the mail. I only bought 2 items from this collection:
Golden Lariat MSF- This is a beauty! I am an NC42/43 and this shade is very beautiful. I love the slightly coral pink colored glow it gives on my skin. I also love that it is separated into 3 areas: one as a cheek product, middle as a contour, and third as a highlight. It's very pretty. I also bought Pink Power but ended up giving it away to my cousin. Pink Power to me is more of a highlighter. It doesn't give much color on my NC42/43 skin. I think this MSF is more suited to people with lighter/fairer skintones, whereas Golden Lariat looks amazing on darker skintones.
Mighty Aphrodite Blush- This is my favorite item from the collection. It is really worth the hype! It gives a nice coral pink color to my skin. Everyone says that this is a dupe or similar to Ripe Peach, which I also own. But they are not even close to resembling each other. If I had to choose btw the two, I'd give Mighty Aphrodite the thumbs up! It applies very smoothly like butter! So pretty. Money is tight so I could only choose 1 blush, and I opted for the Mighty Aphrodite blush. I really liked Amazon Princess as well. I don't own too many bright pink blushes and this one is beautiful. But between the two, Mighty Aphrodite is the better of the two.
The rest of the collection is blah!! The eyeshadow quads suck! Hardly any color payoff. I have to literally apply coats of the eyeshadows in the quads just to get them to show up descent. I didn't care for the lippies, lipglasses, or mascaras. I think they weren't too unique.
And in the end, I actually really like the packaging. Yes, it looks slightly cheesy! But it is after all Wonder Woman! It's super cute! MAC did it right with the packaging of this collection....just wish they could have released new shades instead of shades we've already seen.

I forgot to mention I really feel badly for everyone who received their order with broken blushes or MSF's.....I hope you all are able to get replacements sent out. I wish MAC and UPS would come out with a "White Glove" policy and handle our little black boxes with care!!! After all, our makeup is precious to us, right?

Red VelvetX -> So sorry about what happened to your MA blush! That's two so far that have gotten mangled in transit. 
Elegant-One and HerGreyness --> Thanks so much! I was kind of nervous about getting this blush but I love corals so I went for it. My skin is kind of wierd in that while it's dark, warm colors usually look like crap on me.
Lambie --> I just may go for the brush set as I travel as well (mostly to DisneyWorld and back 'home' to LA). Your pick of the Marquise'd lipstick is making me want that too...

Thanks everyone for the feedback.
Peachsuns- I have both those lip colours as well and I still find it distinct. The difference is quite marked between P&P and this one. P&P is much pinker, whereas Spitfire has more purple in it. Style Curve almost has a purple/ magenta duochrome effect to it, because it looks like both colours at once.
Two things I noticed:
1. Amazon Princess requires a light hand if you're pale like me. I wanted to get a good pop of colour on the cheeks and it still didn't take much. It does look just like the colour of wild roses.
2. Spitfire could easily qualify as a prolongwear product. I had to reapply after eating, but otherwise, it maintained it's lovely finish perfectly and didn't dry my lips out at all. I was at a Bobbi Brown counter late this afternoon and tried on a lipstick. Even their cosmetician could not believe how well Spitfire stayed in place when I tried to remove it.

katred, Amazon Princess and Spitfire look stunning on you!
luvlydee, I saw your picture with Spitfire. It really looks gorgeous on you!
According to Temtalia, Spitfire is "pinker than Style Curve, pinker and less bright than Petals & Peacocks, similar to Smashbox Flirty." I have both Style Curve and Petals & Peacocks, but it still sounds good.

Yesterday my MA blush arrived. At first I was concerned opening it because the WW outer box was open but it was fine and so was my oh so beautiful blush.
Today my other black box arived with Marquise'd l/s and the mirror. The l/s is such a pretty everyday color and I love the packaging. it's such a comic delight. It makes me smile.
The mirror is very cute. Not super sturdy, but I'm not planning to carry it around anyway. It was for my collection, so I'm happy with it.
I so agree with the ":White Glove" policy. I get most boxes from UPS that look like they played kickball with them. My daughter says it reminds her of a scene in a Jim Carey movie I think "Ace Ventura" where he plays a delivery man (probably mocking UPS) and he slams and kicks the packages around.I forgot to mention I really feel badly for everyone who received their order with broken blushes or MSF's.....I hope you all are able to get replacements sent out.

So sorry about your blush too Red VelvetX. That is terrible.
Ok...inquiring minds need to know...who did you call? Anytime I need to call UPS I get some general person way far away who knows nothing and does nothing for me. You have a pager number for your UPS man, don't you???My other lost package - I checked the tracking & it said delivered to my front door - bzzzzt - wrong - it got delivered to someone elseSo I called & made the UPS guy go get it from the wrong house & bring it to my door!
geez what a week - but nothing a little Merlot won't fix tonight

I would like to know this also. I would love to have the local number. Same thing with the post office I've called what says a local number only to be put straight through to some random place. So one time when I had a problem they gave me a number that when straight to our local post master. Believe me it went right into my phone then and there.

^Yep! It was the only one that came home with me from the unveiling. I think I might want Pink Rock MSF. Need to look out for it on MAC's website if they restock it.

Katred thank you so much! It looks amazing on you. I'm so excited for it now!
I freakin LOVE the swatches I've seen of the red nail polish. But I'm sure it can be duped. Anyone know of any?
Elegant- I'm glad they are sending you a new one. Hope the week gets better for you!
