oh yes - i think surf baby was a great collection too, same for semi precious. but for the most part this year has been very passable.Well, I think Surf Baby was a solid, summery collection and the eye shadows are real stars. And Bloggers' Obsessions actually has some gems. But comparatively, yes, I'd say that it looks like someone at Mac HQ woke up in the midst of planning the Fall collections and decided it was time to get back to work. The Spring collections were pretty disappointing to me, in the summer, things have sort of started to get moving and it looks like Fall will be awesome.
