Yes. I realized too late. I meant lipgloss not lipstick. I'm a lipstick whore and everything is a lipstick to me (or at least should be)...lol. Sorry about that.

I second that agreement... MAC has been awesome about restocking and, in some cases, restocking AGAIN the last several collections. Made it almost impossible for people to miss out on something they REALLY wanted... Unless, of course, you figured it out WAY too late! They must realize by now it makes more sense to have too much than not enough. They end up with their money in the end anyways even if the products end up at CCO!

I couldn't agree more! they finally have gotten it right with these past few collections (thank goodness!)

Still firm in only picking up Diamond Dove e/s, and I'll probably just order online to avoid dealing with the crowds and a potential wasted trip. Still kicking myself for waffling (and then missing out) on Carbonized, so I won't make that same mistake again.

Flamingo is looking to be the only thing I get from this collection, but it'll have to be different enough from my other pinks to make it worth my while. I had CCY, but sold it because it was just a little too silly on me. And the matte finish was not my friend.

Well put liba! I will definitely have to swatch this in person as well to see if it's pigmented enough to take home with me. When Spring season comes, that's when I go on a teal/coral kick.


From what I can tell looking at that picture, Robin's Egg is brighter and lighter, with more white mixed in. It also seems just a touch greener too, (dependent on skin tone and eye color, I'm sure). Then there's that matte texture, which could be anything from dense and buttery to powdery to stiff and dry.
I'm feeling fidgety about it - it's so springy and kooky - like the spunky, Zoey Deschanel turquoise battling against the ultra-tanned Snookie Surf Baby turquoise.

This is one of those colors that some women swear by as their go-to eye color; maybe a little too much, along the lines of those 70's women who always wore baby blue shadow. I get kind of rebellious at the too trendy, porn-iness of turquoise, even though it usually looks so great. It's going to have to be swatched in person, right on my eye for me to get over my iconoclastic feelings here. I want to tell myself that between Odalisque and Surf USA, I have enough turquoise and teal to last me to the age where I'll be too wrinkly to pull off bright colors on my lids. If this one applies really well and doesn't fade, I'm probably going to break down and buy anyways.

Robin's Egg looks so beautiful, but I'm still going to skip all the shadows. I have my eye on the lipsticks.

Me too! It's funny, because at first I didn't even look at it and, to be honest, I've no recollection of buying it, but every time I put it on, I'm thrilled at what a lovely shade it is. And, yes, Flamingo looks like it's quite similar. It's funny, because I'm probably most excited to see Flamingo, even though I always tend to gravitate towards brighter/ deeper lip colours.

It really is nice for a sheer pink glittery lip, I was so happy to finally find some after they got back ordered.
I can't wait to check out the lippies from this collection and Naturally, hopefully we get some more swatches soon! I need a better look at Flamingo and Pink Pigeon

Pink Pigeon looks great in the tube!
My only issue with W&T is I have to wait til the Daphne Guinness collection releases to get it...it's all being shipped together. I'm impatient! lol
