liba, does Dare to Bare have glitter too?

Or are Caribbean and TTT the only ones with glitter?

Thank you!

I didn't find Caribbean to be glittery - it had a very nice sheen. The one I tried was pretty much the nicest version of this color I've seen in MES (they keep bringing it back in different formulas, less glittery each time). I did use clean brushes when I tried everything, so there wasn't any glitter residue left over from another pan. Even still, I'm passing, since I've got a few close variations on it in MES and standard shadow.

TTT was the glitteriest by far. DtB had a touch of glitter too, but it wasn't too dramatic - it was a bit frosted. Tropica was frosty, with sheen. Bossa was matte brown plus sheen blue and CCC was matte chartreuse with sparkling dark blue that blended together to be a bit sparkly, but not with glitter chunks.

I'm getting Tropica, Bossa Blue and Time to Tango!

I can't believe the one thing I'm looking forward to the most in a collection is a brush.

I'm pretty much sold on it and Narcissus; I'm open to testing the skinfinishes and eyeshadows.

Thank you very much, liba!

That helps so much

Caribbean is a skip for me anyway because it is much too warm for my liking.

I am pretty sure that the MSFs and the 159 are going to be my faves from this collection.
And Narcissus,of course.So glad I can get more BUs.

I'm wanting MM again and Tropica is so pretty! I'll prob just end up with MM though. I need to limit myself. Went to get foundation at sephora and ended up spending $140! That place is dangerous! Lol

My list is very similar to yours. Just add Narcissus csg, Hip & Happy lip pencil and I am also getting your Maybes plus your Must Haves. My only "Maybe" is Bossa Blue which I will snag L8R at a CCO or Clearance bin situation if I like swatches...

Aren't collections usually online at least 2 days before hitting the counters? Should this be online Tuesday?

I'm totally lost as to when this will pop up online. I like to order online because it allows me to get my goodies before they're even in stores, so if I miss out on anything online, I can make the trek to the store on release day to fill in the blanks. But since it seems to be releasing online super close to the release date in stores, I'm debating just going to the store this Thur morning to get my things.

With the release date for counters getting moved up a week, I'm wondering if the online launch dates stayed the same, since if it was going to follow the recent pattern, it should have been available online this past Tue. for PROs and this past Thur. for everybody. If they changed the release date at counters and didn't change the online release date, that would put the collection on their site this Tue. for PROs and Thur. for everybody, but Idk...they're really throwing me on this one!

I cant wait for them to restock In Extreme Dimension Lash it was pulled because the packaging was braking I hope the just fixed that instead of changing anything with the formula

I will start stalking tomorrow since we've been hearing a June 27th counter date. The last couple of collections have released online the Monday of the week it hits counters in Nordstoms, Macy's, etc.

I have a feeling that a lot of this collection isn't going to be flying off the shelves in record number. Probably Narcissus and Heroine lip liner will go first very quickly, followed by Rio, Simmer then Adored. But I think the MSF's will hang on for a little bit longer, since a lot of us are still unsure how it will look and want to see it in person. What do you guys think? I personally would rather buy online than having to go to the mall on my day off (the same mall I work at, in Sephora). I do like to say "hi" to all the ladies at MAC, but when you work in retail, it's the last thing you want to do on your day off!

As long as I get my hands on Fever Isle and the 159 brush, I'm good. I want Simmer and Sweet Samba, but I won't cry over them if I miss them.

I agree, I don't think this collection will be a sell out in 30min one lol but I order everything online. I always prefer to shop online over in person bc I like doing everything myself and always know what I want
