Did you see Karla's swatches in the swatch forum? I would describe Frankly Fresh as peachy nude and Perennial as a light but bright pinky peach. At least that's how they look on my monitor.

First Thursday of April I think. But it will be a Selfridges exclusive as far as I know.

Blooming Lovely, Eglish Accents & Ever Hip are sooo much prettier in person than the swatches show. Blooming Lovely is a little deeper than its showing up & Ever Hip isn't orange - is beautiful & light pinky peach

And I got Chanel Rose Comete coco rouge

Now I really want Shell Pearl. After loving ADG so much I am almost tempted to try the other glosses, but I will try my best to resist.

Shontay - can you describe P & P on your skin or compare it to another MAC blush? Thanks!!

I swatched everything today (except P&P Blush), and my list stands. I am skipping Summer Rose (cause I already have one) and getting Shell Pearl, all of the e/s apart from Free to Be, Prim and Proper and Blue India. I will skip the lip stuff all together. I think the l/g are beautiful colors, but I don't like opaque glosses. If they were a little sheerer, I'd buy them all! I got Fashion Scoop instead

I can.not.wait.

I am NC50, what do you think, Prim and proper for me?

I have to go back 10 pages to catch up.

good job on your haul and for skipping summer rose

Birds & Berries is very wearable even for a subtle daytime look. It not frosty or bright on the eye. Its not comparable to Deep blue green pigment for me. DPG is way darker, almost black on me with a blue sheen and Id never use this when I am in a hurry as its kinda messy to apply and take some work. There are comparison swatches on my blog. I just love birds & berries!

Ahhh - that makes me want to get Birds & Berries! Also, your kitty in the MAC compact is still the cutest thing ever - looked at it again today. My two favorites things - MAC and cats. Haha.

Does anyone know how close B&B is to the dark green in the Photo Realism quad?

Beautiful! Except I don't like the perfume taste in the lippie. They are smooth & sheer but pigmented

 

[Pinky & Poodle]

Birds & Berries is what I'm looking forward to the most from this collection

Did you put the shell pearl on your face - I was wondering how you liked it on. Did the pink es have enough color for you?

I thought you would love Fashion Scoop

Ya, I would say Perennial is looking quite a bit brighter than Frankly Fresh. It appears quite coral pink on my monitor.

Aaahh! I talked myself out of Ever Hip! Nope, that's it, I'm sticking to my list!!!

I'm so glad you got Rose Comete, it really did make me think of you when i saw it!

Aww

I was disappointed in the color choices

 

[MzzRach]

After reading more about the (lack of) colour payoff of Bough Grey, I'm nixing it.

I'm reconsidering Prim & Proper though...........

Agreed! I can't deal with the perfume smell. I have to return mine, I'm afraid. I'm just too sensitive to the smell and taste of lip products.
