Thanks for the link.

I think Nebula is off my list, looks too dark for me. So my list right now is: both Ombres (already preordered those), and probably Aurora pigment and Hyperion n/p.


Do I also need a BU of Azalea Blossom? MAC-Guy?

Given the size of it, probably not, unless you fear that you will break yours.

I do like the ombres, but personally I think they are hyped too much.

Figures she didn't get the purple items or Aurora. I see my list has changed a lot, luckily I can sorta go off of her swatches. Nebula isn't what I thought it would be either, kinda looks like Dark Soul. Approaching Storm and Red Dwarf are now on my list! Not sure about the ombres and the quad is a nope.

I wonder how close Nebula is to Bloodline pigment. That was the first thing that popped in my head when I saw Karen's swatch.

I'll see if she will answer me on Twitter...

vintage grape is the only thing that interested me from the begining. I am sticking to it as well. Cannot wait to get it first thing my counter opens in 2 weeks. Do you Ladies and Guys call in to your mac for them to reserve it for you because I did that once with surf baby,, and they didnt. Luckily I got there and bought the second to last My paradise cheek powder. Anyway Nordstrom has free shipping on everything so I might just order it online this time around. But I still love the rush of waking up early and going to the MAC counter.

If you do have a good relationship with your counter/store, then it certainly works well. But if you call up a random store to reserve a product, I doubt they will hold it for you, especially if they have customers in store who want to buy it. Ordering via Nordies sounds like a nice option to avoid the stress.

I know... I was a little bummed not to see purples too. I'm thinking any minute now swatches will be popping up left and right though! Fingers Crossed!
Nebula looks a little dark for me too. The darker piggies still give me some trouble, so I may avoid this one.

My favorite MAC counter has some really sweet MUA's! They hold things and even set things aside for me they think I might like!
My advice is to make a friend at your MAC counter for this very reason... and others too of course! HeeHee Just show your face often so they get to recognize you. You don't always have to buy. Sometimes I just pick up a product from a new collection that I already have and start raving about it. That often leads to sales from nearby shoppers and the MUA's are always happy about that! Then, voila! You have a stash buddy!!

It looks a little more brownish than Bloodline, but it also seems like it could be smoother too. I love Bloodline, but I still have plenty of it, so I'm probably going to skip Nebula, even though I like the look of the finish.

I noticed that Karen got Too Chic BP already, and I'm kinda surprised. It's with the Iris Aphel collection, right?

Thank you for posting the link fifi!


I really like the the Quad,Red Dwarf,Warp Speed,Nebula and of course both Blush Ombres!!!
And I will definitely get BUs of AB and VG

Japanese Spring looks very pretty too when swatched but it might be quite sheer on the lips and also close to several other
Cremesheen Glasses I do already own.

Karen has pics and swatches!

I was initially interested in Azelea Blossom but I'm loving how Vintage Grape swatches...
Will definitely have to swatch those and Nebula in person.
Definitely going to buy Red Dwarf, I love how it looks.

Damn how could I have missed her post!!!!! :O

Nebula look awesome but I hate buying pigments. I hate to say this but it looks like this collection is a skip for me. I already have both ombres.

I love the spotlight vintage grape is getting. Its a beautiful color!
