Well I mostly buy when they have a promo... So around $350? It sounds like a lot like but it was multiple purchases. Same with Hey Sailor.. I've spent $350 on Mac this month (oops) but it didn't seem so bad because it was a $70 purchase here, $165, $35, etc! To be fair, I did limit myself on ED and BD collections because I knew I would want a lot from Hey Sailor.

Didn't get hardly anything from this collection. Just YPA lippie and a BU of EM l/l. I passed on BM, which was originally on my list... Happy to have a smallish haul with HC in my future!

Hmm, I was thinking of YPA lipstick...I'm still waiting to hear if there's anything similar out there. I got another Embrace Me liner, too! I was going to get Entertain Me, but I think I'll check out some NYX liners. I'm not sure how particularly unique of an orange liner it is. But I'm in love with Embrace Me so I had to stock up!

Yeah.. unless its super special and unique, I usually go for lip liners from cheaper brands. NYX and Rimmel are both excellent! I use Embrace Me all the time and haven't found anything quite like it, so I HAD to back it up. Lasting Sensation is about as orange as I think I'd want a lip liner to be anyways.
I'll let you know how I like YPA. It seems very dupable, but I'm still searching for the perfect Nude lipstick! I think HaLD from CC collection looks really close to YPA... So I'm holding off on HaLD until Shellcat let's me know how close they are!

I was on a no-buy till July but Dear Diary is just so pretty. I only have two lippies in the bright pink catagory and thats CYY & Party Parrot. I love them, but mattes just dont work well for me. I have tried every suggestion to get them to work. No matter what I do they end up drying and even getting crusty on my lips. When I wear them I have to constantly check if the mattes are holding up. So I dont wear them that much anymore. I feel I appear very vain (which I'm FAR from) looking in the mirror constantly to see how thier doing lol. I'm also thinking Love Long Distance. I'm a sucker for those kind of colors.
Too bad, I like all three colours, especially Life and Beth. At that price point the quality has to be there.
That confirms I'm skipping the whole collection.

I'm skipping the nail polishes, I like nail polishes that are easy to apply and dry fast XD

Me too! And like you, I can't make up my mind about Casual Color. I'm going back and forth on this one...

Those nail polish colours are always a bit tricky. I will skip Beth, the liner look nice, but from the pictures I have seen they are too thick to use as a liner and I do not need another base. Casual Colour is interesting, maybe I'll try one to see how I like them.

I have had the opposite than usual Mac nail polish experience. I bought Al Fredo from C3S3 and Play Day from Vera. T gave AF less that C+, but on me, it was one of the best np's I remember wearing! AF is very thin (I had to put 4 layers), but it was easy to work with otherwise and it held for days! 4-5 days with no major problems. Usually everything chips on me in 24 or 36 hours. Like I bought the whole Essie Poppy-razzi collection, beautiful colours, but first Camera chipped badly in 48 hours (had to remove) and this week Lights was even worse: chipped in less than 24 h and in 48h half of the polish had flown away!
However, I somehow seem to have a np addiction, too. Most of my hauls recently have been np's!? I might get the pink-purple and possibly also the yellow from this collection.

I've only had two MAC np but both got tossed. I'm personally unwilling to do any more than two coats of colour (other than base coat and top coat) and both MAC np I tried were quite streaky at two. The ones I had were thin enough that I could have done more, but I expect colour to be opaque or even after two coats. Otherwise the np gets segregated to the 'not worth the trouble' bin. I have a ton of OPI and never need a third coat.
Two coats (as well as wear, etc) is one of my personal criteria - obviously not everyone shares that view so people will have different perspectives.
