Hi, from Graphic Gardens, (2) Baby Blooms lip bags (love Amplified Spiceflower) and the Sweet Tease Look Box. Then I got a backup of the 109 brush and another Warm Blend and Sunny By Nature MSF. Since Mac doesn't bring the MSFs out very often, and these are WOC friendly, I figured I'd grab some more. I may give them to my sister for her birthday. Then of course I grabbed those Lancome special edition blue brushes. And I think I'm done for a little while.

I really want the lighter pink (Soft Illusion?) in the Baby Blooms bag. Let me know if you want to sell or swap one. Do you like Cult of Cherry? I have BNIB box one of those.

I remember buying all the Cult of Cherry palettes, but don't remember much else. I'll go back and look in the Color Stories.

Just an FYI. I picked up my stuff from my Nordies yesterday and they did not have any lip bags left. The MUA told me they had the Look in a Box , Brush sets and 1 GG palette. I was trying to get the other palette and she didn't have any. I couldn't believe it.... already out. Plus all the 226 were sold out and they had 1 131 brush left. Colour Craft seem to be going fast too. Get your stuff while you can. Glad I preordered and picked up my brushes earlier. I hope your stores still have what you want.

I'm thinking about getting this collection later after I get the entire Love That Look Collection if it's still available online though or I can be strong and skip this collection.

Got my Baby Blooms lip set today - its so pretty. It is all I got from this collection
Soft Illusion lippie is like a slight violet pale pink soft Pretty Please. It is very pretty on.
SpiceFlower lippie is a really pretty, very creamy muted rosey berry pink with I think a tinge of like a purple rite base - just a lil.
The gloss (name?) is like a shimmery slight berry Nymphette. Its like SpiceFlower lippie but lighter.
I'm glad I got this one.

So I am kind of surprised that there is not more activity in this forum, seeing as though it's release is today @ nordies!
Is everyone like me, not really getting anything? I think this is such a pretty collection-- the products and packaging are both great, better than last year imo. However, I just don't see anything that I really need...got plenty of bright colored e/s, the brush sets are the same ol' same ol', and the l/s are mostly not pigmented enough for me. But I do think it's all very lovely to look at

^I'm not getting anything from this collection either, even though I missed out on Colour Forms last year but I might get some things from this collection later.

I feel the exact same way Abby! It is pretty to look at but nothing feels like a must have for me so I am skipping it!

Except that I have a bad feeling I'm not gonna get off the hook that easily...I've got a GC to Nordies for the anniv. sale, so I wouldn't be surprised if something from GG accidentally falls in to my shopping cart

I really want the palette (the pink toned one?) but it will come out at my counter the same day as Love that Look...so I may have to pass it up

I have to say, this collection as a whole is underwhelming. Lips of usual and expected nudes and neutrals, silly brush sets, and ridiculous sets of permanent products (which everyone should own already).
However, being the obsessive boy-that-wants-a-piece-of-every-collection that I am, I picked up the Fresh Cut palette. I have to say, this is such a pretty set! I love warm tones already, but a palette of all new shades sealed the deal, I had to have it. The colors are surprisingly unique as well, here's a small run-down.
Floral Inc. - A softly shimmering peachy-pink. I love this color! It's so pretty and soft. It looks very pink in palette, but it applies decidely peachy with a soft pearlized pigments effect. Loves it! (Frost) (upper left)
Bloomcycle - Cultivated pastel pink sheen. Medium opacity, soft Veluxe Pearl texture, but color-wise not my favorite though it's pretty. (Veluxe Pearl) (upper right)
Sun-Shy - Bright golden-shimmered coral. It applies very bright for a lustre, and it has a smooth finish similar to Tempting or Swimming. (Lustre) (middle left)
Part Peony - Vivid warm mid-tone pink. Again, a nice lustre! It applies fairly smoothly (not as well as Sun-Shy though), with a nice coverage, and is of a fairly unique color. (Lustre) (middle right)
Poppy Noir - Charcoal grey/brown with purple and brown pearlized pigments. My favorite! A deep blackened brownish grey with sparklies. A perfect warm crease color that compliments all the other shades, plus it's a unique take on the "black with shimmer" type of color. It applies with a medium coverage and is definitely buildable, though it suffers from the sort of hard feeling Velvet texture like Stylin' from Hello Kitty, as opposed to the softer texture like Beauty Marked. (Velvet) (lower left)
Fresh Cut - Metallic and copperized red-orange. GORGEOUS. It's bright, shimmery, awesome texture. I love it. It's so summery but I can see myself rocking it all year round. (Veluxe Pearl) (lower right)
Hope that helps anyone wondering about it!
