So I just checked out the collection this morning. I got red racer and seaside body oil. My thoughts... Red racer is the perfect bright retro inspired red IMO. Highlight of the collection for me and nothing like any other shade I have. Mac redd is darker. New temptation sheen supreme is sheerer. I would think runway red is deeper- I will check when I get home. Seaside body oil is lovely for giving a moisturised glow to the skin. Great pale skin alternative to fake tan. Doesn't really impart colour, just a nice sexy glow Things I skipped and why... Shore leave liner- beautiful liner but I wanted something to match viva glam nickie and sl runs too coral/orange Crew powder- since the stripes are raised, when I swatched the pan the colour that was most prodominant was the pink making it more of a blusher than highlighter on my nw10 skin Hope that helps xx

Edenlmc I'll be interested to know how you think Runaway Red compares to Red Racer since I am a red lippie crazed woman. I just picked up Cockney. It's beautiful, I'm so glad our little MAC store had it. I tried on Russian Red and I need to get that in my arsenal. Anyhow, I love your profile picture...you just look so happy and I love your hair! Enjoy your new MAC stuff.

What about In anticipation or whatever that bubble gum pink pro longwear lip liner in the perm line? I recently ordered that. I think I might get the crew highlighter now that it is confirmed to be not an overspray :3 I initally wanted to skip this collection, but it kind of grew on me. Can anyone tell me if the make up bag is flat with not much thickness? I don't know what bronzer would be good on my NC20 skin and won't make me look orange. I have refined golden fron Neo Sci-fi and I do not use it at all. Too orange :< Same with the brown middle shade in the wonder woman pink power giant compact. I also really like NYX orange soda, but it is too thin and not pigmented enough. Salute might come home with me!

I love the "antique" effect that you get with OG. I find OG quite easy to work with (I assume that the HS OG performs similar to the regular OG). For those who are into antique shades, OG is a must-buy.

Hi MAC Guy, thanks for all your swatches & tips, they are much appreciated. I'm not new to MAC by any means, but I'm new to these MU Blogs, therefore can you please explain what you mean by an "antique shade". Thank you in advance.

Has anyone else noticed that on the Dillards website if you type Hey Sailor into the search box some of the items come up...no pictures though. You can add to cart though... Strange???

Hey Jessica! Fellow ATL MAC lover here. What part of town do you live in? I don't know about you but I don't like shopping at Dillard's. Don't get me wrong, I love their shoe & purse dept. But their customer service leaves A LOT to be desired IMHO. Take care.

I don't own any bronzers, because I'm pale and I like it, but I'm intrigued about how I could incorporate this product into my repetoire. I'm not sure which one I should be considering, can someone suggest "the one" that looked best on all you NC 20's. Also do I need the brush that comes with this collection to rock the bronzers? Thanks!

I agree. Wondering if I need it myself. Not lacking in the brush department over here, just don't have THAT one.

Then I talk myself into buying it....One can never have too many brushes, right?

the brush that comes with the collection looks very nice, but i think there are also a lot of of nice brushes suitable for use with bronzers...especially since you can use a blush brush if you've got one....

Would Soft Sand or Sun Dipped be a good combo with Glorify EDSF?

Mac-Guy, do you know how much the 167SH is for the US folks?
