What?! Dazzleglasses coming out on Thursday?! Did the Euristocrats II moved up the date or just the dazzleglasses that are releasing early?

I must get Vie Venito. I want to wear it over my Lavender Whip.

I called today and canceled the eyeshadow palette off of my preorder. The colors just aren't unique enough on me to warrant them, I much prefer the palettes that are coming out in the Fall.

I'm glad I am checking this out in person this week so I can hopefully decide to skip this!

All of the MAC stuff plus the other beauty exclusives for the anniversary sale are now up on the website to pre-order. Just click on nordstrom exclusives in the top left corner.

Karlasugar The only problem with swatching these so early is that my counter had the tester palettes, but no actual compacts, and no indication of which shades were which. I thought all the textures were pretty nice, except the last two shades of Fresh Cut seemed weaker on pigment. In no particular order, the Graphic Garden palette contains Social Climber (VP), Botanical Blue (Frost), Straight Hedge (VP), Wild Wisteria (Lustre), Linear Lilac (VP), and Graphic Garden (Velvet). These shades The Fresh Cut palette contains Floral Inc. (Frost), Sun Shy (Lustre), Fresh Cut (VP), Poppy Noir (Velvet), Bloomcycle (VP), and Part Peony (Lustre). I thought Summer Crop looked pretty swatched on my arm, but I knew it was going to be more or less invisible on my lips.

Those are great swatches.

So I have decided against both palettes. I'm also iffy on the Sweet Tease box, even though I have already preordered it and also thinking I'm not going to bother with the lip set.

Not sure why? *checks temperature*

I think in the end I'll end up with Sweet Tease only. I think it's just bothering me that the look boxes here are $78 and really, that means we're basically only getting the brush and mascara extra, both of which I don't really care for. (I have the 181 already and the mascara looks to be a sample size only).

I think I will get the GG e/s palette. I just can't decide to pre-order online or wait till I'm in Vegas on July 29th. We don't have a Nordies here. Anyone think they will sell out?

Also I want just one l/s, not the set. So if anyone wants to sell a l/s from the Summer Crop set or Soft Illusion l/s from the Baby Blooms set. My first choice would be the Soft Illusion l/s.

 

[darkishstar]

Oh WOW. I might want Baby Blooms! Frost AND Amplified Creme? That's amazing!

 

[Susanne]

I look forward to get GG eye palette and Baby Blooms lip bag

 

[FemmeFatale]

I think I am now going to skip the whole collection. I wanted the Nude Lipstick bag but I am not keen on the swatches a bit too dark for my liking.

I will take a look in person in LA Nordtstrom.

 

[LMD84]

wow those are great swatches! making me want to buy the gg palette! must look away!!

Yeah, the darker shade lippie looked like ...well, dark poo instead of pinky poo

But, it could have been Nordies lighting

I hate that I love the summer crop bag more than the baby blooms lip bag, but I love the colors with baby blooms compared to the summer crop ones esp since my lips are too pigmented for those colors... lol, I wish we could choose which one we want

 

[GlamQueen21]

I'm going to pre-order some stuff before the release date since I can't decide if I want to pre-order or wait to order it the day before the release date.

Yes, these will sell out fast according to our Nordstrom. When I placed my order last week, they only had 16 of the Graphic Garden left and about 24-28 of the Fresh Cut. I ordered both. The MA said they didn't get as many as they usually did and they were sure to sell out maybe even before the official release date. So if you're even remotely thinking of these order now. You can always cancel. They are so pretty and if you are lacking in aquas and pinks, you should DEF check these out. I'm uber excited! I'm gonna be so broke with M.A.C for the remainder of the year! LOL
