I may skip this collection.

Me too. I have plenty of blushes and more oragne-ish lipsticks than I need. I'll probably use my June MAC money for staples (boring).

Me too, I already have Neon Orange and all the other lippies seem to be Lustres which are incredibly dry on me after about an hour so I usually skip those. The only things I might possibly be interested in are Sushi Kiss and Sweet & Sour since they are the only non Lustres, in store swatching will determine though.

I think I will skip it too, I bought 6 orange lipsticks in the past 2 months. I think it's enough for this summer! The blushes are boring, I already own IF. I might order Sushi Kiss if it's still available when the Rihanna summer collection come out.

Do you think IF is a must? It is the only one I missed out on from The Perfect Cheek. I'm NW 20 for reference.

Thank you.

I think I'll have to narrow my list down to two items, a blush and lipstick. Not sure which ones they'll be though.

So flamingo is pretty much the same as betty bright but in a different finish? If so then I'm only getting Sushi Kiss. betty bright is a bit too pink for me so now I'm down to Sushi Kiss x 2.

When I'm super tan (C40), I need to apply like 6 layers or it won't show up. The texture is hard and not very pigmented. It's one of those blushes that are light in the pan, but show up darker on the skin if you apply it with a kabuki. It's much better on pale skin. I like the color, but it's not as smooth and pigmented as my other MAC blushes.

EDIT : Hummm hello tired Prettykitty, just saw that you said you are NW20. lol It would show up on you, it's a pretty coral peachy pink. I just don't like how it's so hard in the pan and so sheer.

For reference I'm an NC40 or C5. Flamingo is more pink and razzledazzle is very sheer coral/light peach.  I use Flamingo for light punch of color and rd as tinted lipbalm because it's sooo sheer.
Do you think if I get Sweet andSour, I won"t need Razzledazzle? Don't want to get them both if they're practically the same, or S &S is much nicer. I would like to eliminate one of these two.

Now I'm thinking of skipping this completely, lol. RS looks so pretty colorwise, but I think it also looks kind of chalky?! I don't know if I really need it. I want so much from Tropical Taboo and I would really like to try blushes from other brands as well. I wish we already had the color stories of the upcoming collections, so I could plan ahead and budget a little bit.
I also just ordered the 184 since we now have the pro products on the german site. Not a fan of the euro prices, but I wanted it for so long that I thought: ah, WTH, I might as well get it now. There are a couple more pro products I want, but I think I'll get a CP for those. Maybe I should get a pro blush instead of RS, I don't have any of them yet. Any recs for NW10-15?

For reference I'm MAC NC40 or C5. The look exactly the same on me! Absolutely NO difference (on me).  I'm a fan of both finishes of Amplified (Neon Orange) and Satin (Morange) but I picked Neon Orange since I happened to be at a Pro Store on the shopping trip. I really like it because I can play the orange up with the right lip liner and when I blend it with MAC Spice or Red I can get a dupe for Sail a Vie... (which I happen to be running out of so that made me happy)
Thanks I have Morange so NO will be a pass for me :)

Not my blog, but I would say the only difference is texture *picture was way bigger than i thought it would be lol*

My IF was the same way and I'm very fair. It wasn't pigmented and it was hard. I bought a bu of the color thinking the original was defected. I swatchd the new one and it was a total different pigment and it was so smooth. Anyway, I eventually scrapped the very top layer of the one I thought was defected. It was like a total different blush; soft and pigmented. The powders were just too tight I'm guessing.
