I can't wait till April, so many collections! I'm hoping to get raspberry swirl l/s , pure decoration l/s , lavender whip l/s since I missed out on it before. Moon cake paint pot right up my alley, makes me want some moon cakes. I was reading the color story for this collection and couldn't resist the yummy names, I must resist not buy too many things, gotta make room for the extra demension skin finishes and blushes.

My thoughts on reading the color story (thanks MAC-Guy)
Lipstick
Rasberry Swirl - Doubtfully will make the list. Too many pinks, however, the Cremesheen finish is something I don't have a nice bubblegum pink. Must be different from Sweetie, Angel, Naughty Saute, & many other pinks to justify the purchase...
Pure Decoration - This could go into Tyrone Biggums territory if there is more white pigment than peach. And it could be too orange. Many ways for it to go wrong, and it must be different from Playing Koi. I bet its a pass. See--sometimes I anti-enable.
Lavender Whip - Light cool lavender (Cremesheen) Oh yes with BU.
Devil's Food - Glossy deep plum (Frost) This has piqued my interest. Love the name, love plum, pretty ambivalent about a Frost finish.
Mineralize Tinted Lip Balm:
Do we love the lip balm? Enough to justify 20 bucks for a tiny tube? I am not so sure. Not sure what they were thinking here, but really they needed more product to justify these prices IMHO. I mean I can buy pretty good lip balm for much, much less. And, really, how much tint are these going to have?
Sweet Tooth --I like Lavender, but it would have to really have some pigmentation to justify the cost.
Baking Beauty - I like peach, but have plenty of peach gloss. I don't think the "balm" or "mineral" properties are superlative enough to justify the price or breaking my gloss no buy. It is often the product that is the same as the collection name that is really outstanding, but I am just not feeling the balms. Tell me I'm wrong here, because I actually want to be enabled on these. But I feel too much like a chump when I see the tiny ass tubes.
Glace' - Creamy pale baby blue its a maybe because its a blue lip product that if it has even medium pigmentation could be used for layering, so I'd consider it...
Cheery Cherry -Definitely no, too much pink gloss, too little product in the tube.
Hey, more for everyone who likes these--I am focused on the eye & cheek products in this collection...
Pro Longwear Paint Pots
Fancy Frosting - Love the name, and I am thinking a white PP would be a great base, fun for mixing. The frost I am not too worried about as I can layer a more matte powder such as an e/s or pigment over it. Its a Yeah.
Mooncake - Sounds lovely but beige could get ashy. Since its a warm beige, hopefully not. Needs to separate itself from Soft Ochre in swatches to get me to buy it though.
Eclair - Oh yeah baby. Chocolate with gold pearl? What's not to love.
Let's Skate - We've seen this one before. Not sure why they didn't repromote Girl Friendly or Perky instead, guess they were going for more glitter. I have the one from G&I so I am not sure I'd get a second one.
Dangerous Cuvee - Love the color "frosty, cool grey" in theory, but the glitter particles make it tough to wear for me, the glitter particles are big and really tear at my delicate wittle skin on my lids when its time to remove it. Not sure its worth the damage to the skin. Plus, we have seen this color before. Not that it will stop any glitterholics from enjoying it--and more power to em. Even though it is in a PP base, the glitter in this one does migrate on me. I have this PP from the Champale launch, and I will keep using it (sparingly, my eyes can barely handle it) and I will enjoy it until it dries up, but don't think I will be getting another one.
Glitter
Reflects Transparent Teal - this is a great glitter to mix with other products but I have samples and can get more, big jar not necesary.
Pink - Bright pink-Sounds like a young princess' dream
Haute & Naughty Lash
Black--wish they put out a brown, when they do, I will try it.
Pearlmatte Face Powder
In For A Treat -wow, mint leaves and coral flowers? Unless this champagne base comes out really ashy or something & I really don't see that happening with these types of powders, this will be gorgeous, esp. on really pale beauties
Pink Buttercream - Will probably be the more popular powder but not sure how the silver will look on warm skin tones. Still, it sounds really pretty. I can see this selling out like gangbusters just for the pretty design.
Must have: Fancy Frosting, Eclair, Paint pots, Pink Buttercream pearlmatte face powder, Lavender Whip x 2
Maybe pile (in order of probability to haul):
In for a Treat Pearlmatte Face Powder
Mooncake PP
Devils Food l/s
Glace balm
Sweet Tooth balm
Long Shots (probably won't buy unless I succumb to the hype here):
Raspberry Swirl l/s
Baking Beauty lip balm

Mineralize tinted lip balms I am a little biased on these. I have very pigmented lips and I have only bought the rose one but the second I put it on I went and got a BU. since I buy most mac online and depend on swatches and specktras reviews I am on the fence of buying other colors because they do not seem as pigmented. I do not know how I justified buying a tiny tube for $19.00 but I hate mac lipgloss not that I do not like the consistency but it makes my lips look bad. Seriously they make my lips looks crinkled and sticky. I really wish mac lipgloss work with me but they don't. On the other hand these make my lips look fresh and young. I am not young and seriously could use a boost for my lips that is why I enjoy buxom lip gloss. I just wish mac might by almighty make these pigmented .[COLOR=181818]My thoughts on reading the color story (thanks MAC-Guy)[/COLOR] [COLOR=181818]Lipstick[/COLOR] [COLOR=181818]Rasberry Swirl - Doubtfully will make the list.

i think i might actually skip this whole collection...me and pastel don't have a great history, so i might as well bank on the more saturated colour schemes making their way to us in the net few months.
i love the baking related names, but so far nothing's really calling out to me...

My Mac store doesn't allow b2m for limited collectionsI like special packaging but the plus side to this is we can use or Back2MAC for it!
. Pretty Disappointing since its in regular black pkg anyhow...grumble I may pass on any paint pots from this collection if they are the glitter particle infused ones like Let's Skate. Another posters mentioned they scratch her skin, I noticed this too a bit of irritation. Also had a prob with the super glitter infused glamour daze fluid lines.

same here although I think I only have enough for one lol, I've been downsizing on my products a lot and become very picky with what I buy.Quote:

I used to have the tendency to buy products because the color itself looked pretty but then I wouldn't like it at all on me. I'm skipping so many collections
to save up for this as well.

Oh no that's Terrible! I would contact Amazon and lodge a complaint on counterfeit goods! I have only bought one fake dazzle glass on eBay, The seller was so rude when I put him/her on blast, I promptly mailed The fake junk back to them, and reported them to EBay. The seller Gave me a feedback stating I tried to keep the fake! Yeah right I told them I don't want your fake crap. eBay didn't much and I reported a ton of fake Mac to them, they did absolutely nothing!! I guess eBay doesnt mind peddling fake counterfeit goods as long as its money in their account! Disgusting! I hope you are able to get a refund I've notices the counterfeit dealers by nature Are very nasty to deal with.off topic but sad news.. the soft meow i ordered from amazon was a fake!! im so upsetttt. i compared it to my original one and the one i got from amazon was so orange! and they don't give full refunds or pay for return shipping so now idk if i should just keep it cuz ill be wasting money anyways
