I saw this collection in person, I had no idea it released early. I went to MAC twice and my boyfriend and the MA kept making fun of me about it.
. Another MA called me the "liberty of london girl"
anyways I feel like I celebrated my b-day today along with watching Alice in Wonderland which I enjoyed but was not blown away by.
I came back with:
Birds & Berries
Bough Grey
shell pearl
prim & proper
dirty plum
blooming lovely
medium bag
blue india n/p
So far I tried on Dirty Plum and I love it!! I have so many blushes but where has this one been all my life? haha One thing that caught me off gaurd by this collection is the packaging where the top part on the blushes and beauty powder pertrudes up. I will do swatches and post a review on my blog tomorow.

I have to keep telling myself over, and over again NOT to buy much from this collection!!!! I was planning on skipping it entirely, but then I come and read your threads and my mind quickly changes lol. Shell Pearl looks pretty on Temptalia's swatches and it has so many great reviews. I don't know if I really NEED Shell Pearl. I already have a ton of highlighters and don't have an urge for another one. I missed out on this one when it last came out. What's so great about it??? Is there anything special about this one???????
So far on my list:
Prim & Proper
Bough Grey (this one is a maybe depending on how it looks in person)
Dame's Desire
blue india n/p
Must stick to a max of 1 lippie from this collection
I would really LOVE to narrow my list even more, but know that won't happen lol. The lippies aren't really wowing me, so hopefully I can end up with no lippies!!! That would mean more $$$ for Art Supplies
I NEED TO SAVE FOR THAT COLLECTION- I WANT ALL GPS & PEARLGLIDES, AND 2-3 LIPSTAINS..........
must.not.spend.more $.
***note to self***
Art Supplies is just a month away

I'd say Ravishing is rather a peachy-brownish-beige/pale-orange color than a true coral, it just doesn't have enough pink if at all. In other words, it's a very much muted whisper-coral with light brown imho, which makes it so wearable. It's a great nude for redheads and should look great over Naked l/l. I love it over Ember Glow with some nude liner. Ever Hip seems a bit lighter/milkier and brighter from swatches and has a touch more coral/pink than Ravishing. I wonder if In Synch l/l or a pinkie-coral gloss will turn Ravishing into something closer to Ever Hip? My only gripe is that I must use a very emollient gloss or balm under cremesheen l/s and not wear it for longer than a couple of hours, otherwise my lips dry out rapidly and start peeling for a long time. I get that slight tingly/itchy sensation and redness right away, it's an allergic reaction perhaps. Such a pity. Another fave nude color is Shy Girl and I've been on a hunt for dupes in a non-cremesheen finish like forever. Please MAC make these gorgeous colors in some other finish!

I want Petals and Peacocks and Ever Hip lipsticks, and Birds and Berries eyeshadow.
I'm a bit of a MAC newbie (got my first MAC on my 21st birthday 15 months ago! hooked ever since) and I'm trying to build my collection so these colours are perfect for me.
A bit gutted that LOL comes out the same time as Art Supplies in the UK because I want a lot from that, I'm going to be so skint in April!

My final list:
Birds & Berries
Perennial High Style
Prim & Proper
Shell Pearl / Summer Rose
I will know when I see them IRL.
Peachstock / Blooming Lovely
Most of you ladies will get the collection next week! I won't, but it will be exciting to hear all about it.

I am excited about this one now. I had some doubts as far as the texture since I couldn't swatch. I am confident that my preorder will stay as is now. I can't wait for Thursday!!

I don't have such a grey) Birds & Berries (Dark teals are my favorite plus it's a veluxe pearl) Shell Pearl Beauty Powder (nice highlighter, had to skip the blushes due to budget! I already own Summer Rose.) Blue India nail polish (very excited about this one. Awesome color!) Happy Shopping!

You should be fine ordering, since your order will just say that you ordered for example "Petals and Peacocks", no matter what picture you saw with it. I feel confident that those putting the orders together don't match things by swatches.

So I'm worried they might send me the wrong product if I order it right now. Even though I'm really tempted too!! Today was payday and gosh darn it, I want my LoL goodies already!!! |

I got my Free to be e/s yestreday and am wearing it today. It is a beautiful pinky coral, and for being a matte, the texture is awesome. It reminds me of the finish and blendability of the matte2 e/s. Such a fun, springy color

I'm tempting to skip Petals & Peacocks since I have Pink Burst, Full Fuchsia and Show Orchid lipsticks but at the same time I do want to get it! It's so hard to decide! Maybe I can CP for Peachstock since it's permanent in the PRO line. Ok, here's my final list now:
Petals & Peacocks
Blooming Lovely
Birds & Berries
Bough Grey
Frankly Fresh
English Accents
Prim & Proper
I can get Dirty Plum from Riveting since I want to start depotting blushes since I've never got around to do it.

I saw the collection today and put some items aside for Nordie's triple points week -
The packaging is adorable, and NO STICKERS!!!
The Summer Rose BP is quite pretty - I didn't get to swatch it (no testers yet) but the color is gorgeous - a very blue pink.
Prim and Proper looks awesome too.
The lippies are ok - I may pick up a couple, but they're close to what I already have and not really showstoppers.
I'm going to get a couple of the eyeshadows - Bough Grey, Birds & Berries, and Free to Be.
Apparently only the MAC stores are getting the accessories, so I'll have to check online for one of them.
I think I'm going to skip most of Pret a Papier and wait for To the Beach....I'm still reeling from SCF.......
