Wonderful riot of colour for Spring! Kindergarten Red is almost a given for me. I've always wanted a red Blush Ombré. I still have plenty of my AB and RP remaining, but I recommend both! Thinking I'll try Tarot as well. From the lipsticks, I'm think maybe Victoriana and Opera, but I'll have to see them. Matte lipsticks tend not to be as unique in my experience. Bellgreens and Violetwink both have shades the sound interesting, but again, I'll wait for swatches. I fear some of the darker green/ grey shades could come out looking like mud. And I'm trying to ensure that I only get things that aren't dupes for colours I already have.

I just about died when I saw Ripe Peach being repromoted. That's "the one that got away" for me, since I got into MAC after the blush ombres were released. If it's one thing that could suck me back in, it's that. BUT that packaging.. not for me. I might skip on that basis alone.. we'll see.

:eyelove: I wonder how opera compares to Russian red how tenor voice compares to ruby woo.. The milky nude nail lacquer sounds gorge.. Violet winks palette sounds pretty .. All very tempting.. Will need to see comparisons and swatches.. But will pick up something cause I love the packaging :eyelove: really appreciate this info thanks so much :pompom:

Haaaaate the square. >> You'd think they'd put in a mirror on the top lid, but I guess not? The lipsticks all look really pretty, but also somewhat dupable... But still pretty. :sigh:

I'm trying so hard to get over the packaging. It's just awful. Looks cheap IMO. And I wonder what the price of these will be with the special packaging. Doubt it will be worth it to me. I might end up skating by this collection with just one lipstick
$30.00

This is bad... really bad... I've been praying for a purple mascara for some time now, not to mention Azalea Blossom. Plus, I love the look of the violet e/s palette. This might be my big haul this year :( Didn't want it to be so early, but I haven't been excited for a new collection like this for a long time now!

Oh At first I was not interested by this collection (when I saw the "promo pic of Toledos). But now :)

Of course:
- Ripe peach is in m list, as well as:
- The "yellow/brown" palette: it seems nice to me
- the blue mascara
- Kindergarten blush (red ombré? looks interesting ).

The lipstics and lipglasses look nice but I try to calm down on lipsticks ...
And I'll get 1 or 2 glosses only if they have the non sticky /long wearing formula they had for Hey sailor (these are perfect!).

These are my piccs!

Wow! Where have I been? Ripe Peach is back. Definitely getting a backup. I so wish it was in round packaging.

My picks:

Green palette
Chlorophyl liner
Kindergarten Red blush
Ripe Peach Blush
maybe glosses
