I took one look at that blush and wanted it instantly, then looked again and thought logically, no way can I pull that off

and that gloss looked amazing!

Do you think it would look good on someone who is cool toned (NW20)?
The pink blush looks too scary for me, I'm having troubles with Dollymix...

cut a carper looks nice, what finish is it? it looks creamy

I think it looks better on people with cool tone skin, caz it looks better on my friends. Really nature but brings warmth to her complexion.

Thanks bbgillian for the swatches! Nice to finally see some information coming out on this collection!

Her Blooming Cheek looks intense, as everyone has noticed. I have Azalea, which looks exactly the same, and I don't find it especially difficult to work with on my NW15 skin. Just takes a light hand. On the other hand, since I do have Azalea, I don't think I'll need to get this one.

My Highland Honey looks quite pretty. I have peach blushes for certain, but I don't have one that looks like that. It'll probably go on my list.

The lipglass and lipstick are both looking like definites for me. Strangely, although I have about a hundred lipsticks, I have almost no mis-tone pink colours. I guess I was too busy collecting all the bright and ultra-dark ones...

I need to see more. The pink blush does look like full fuchsia, which by the way is at my CCO in huge amounts. I was reading some where that the full fuchsia lipstick is going to be in this collection too. They have some of those at my CCO too.

Just 2 blushes??? Seems like a little bit in comparison. Hope to hear more info this week.

Side note about pinks and MAC holiday: I really loved the bright pink from last holiday. Utter Fun. Just stunning! Another old fav was joy berry lipglass from holiday years ago. I hope I see something similar this year.

Utter Fun definitely lived up to its name. There's nothing like it anywhere else in the line and it was the type of colour I'd always wanted Mac to do.

I'd totally forgotten about Joyberry! Def want to see something like that again!

That is seriously Gorgeous! I have been wanting something that shade. A MA did a lip pencil/ls combo that kind of made her lips that color & I have been on the hunt to see it in just a ls!
Thanks

You really shouldn't shy away from a blush because it appears so intense.
I'm a really pale NW15 & love to use really pigmented intense blushes because they are gorgeous applied lightly to the apples of the cheeks.
Just use a 187, barely dab (don't swish or swipe) the ends of the brush onto the color, dab on the back of your hand or a tissue & then lightly apply.

This blush looks like a more intense Sweetness blush - my favorite blush of all times. I have Rhubarb & Apple Red & Salsa Rose & they are equally intense but are really really pretty on lightly.
