I wasn't going to bother with this collection but after seeing the swatches I definitely need Queen Bee, maybe Pollinator and possibly the Salve. The Hand & Body cream is tempting too, as I can never have enough hand cream.
Will definitely pass on the fragrances and the highlight powders. I'm NC20 and they look like they'll be too dark on me and I don't need any more bronzers.

I would like to warn you about one fact: As you may came across most of bloggers are doing early reviews of Naked Honey and all of them ( including our gorg Krasevayadancer ) are saying that the dark one of the perfumes smell awkward. Just a hint...
I'm having a hard time deciding to pass or not to pass too! I dislike the body products simply because Philosophy, Fresh and Korres can do it better ( and Lush ... No honey smell can beat ''Honey I washed the Kids'' soap. Yummy ).
For me the lipglasses are not too exciting too unless you're a sucker for these tones. And the eyeshadows are pretty too basic and I'm %100 sure that Love that Look will satisfy me with its eyeshadows so I'm giving Naked Honey ones a pass.
As for perfumes, the light one doesn't sound bad but I am planning to buy one of Benefit's Crescent Row trio , also I have lots of mists because using perfume under sun causes brown stains ( it contains alcohol ).
So, all in all, those highlighters are the only thing that looks cool. But I've just ordered one more bronzer from Sephora.com and I can only use the dark one as a bronzer because I have light skin and I'm sure it'll look messy and muddy as a blush. For the light one, I checked out the swatches and it kind of looks too orange. I decided to wait and don't buy anything until it comes to my counter ( Turkey ) so it means I will wait a few more weeks. I will just try the salve and the light powder.
But I'm not hopeful I will probably won't buy anything, and it is a good thing because I need to save a lot for Love that Look eyeshadows, Euristocrats lipsticks and the unnamed fall collections - Dsquared2, All Black and CoC Follower and GaGa Collection etc... All sounds so good. I love it when MAC keeps it edgy, and black thing and Dsquared2 satisfies my edgy side.

honestly, these highlight powders suck. just my opinion. they shimmer is pretty, but they are both on the orangy side. i think mac really needs to stop it with highlight powders. so far, they've been a miss.

What are your thoughts on the shaping powder? :x I've been lemming Accentuate for a while. I don't want shimmer or diamonds etc, just ...a highlight.

. Everyone keeps saying that they are great
. Oh well, if they are orange then thats no good
. On the flip side, your swatches are making me get Queen Bee
. I can't wait for Thursday.

If I remember correctly someone posted the news that this collection might not be launched in Singapore.
Any news on this?
And does anyone know when it will be launched in Europe?
TIA!

So .. why did I come to this thread again ? Honestly I wasn't that interested in NH .. I was still looming over the whole SW collection which I love (THANK YOU BRAVE NEW BRONZE AND EVERSUN <33).
But now that I've read through 10 pages my list comes to ..
Buckwheat e/s
Creme De Miel e/s
And possibly queen bee l/g ? I don't know how I feel about it . I saw the swatch on temptalia but I honestly only like myself in nudey/light pinky/coral colours :| ITS SO PRETTY THOUGH !
Does She's A Star l/g compare to Instant Gold l/g or am I out of my mind ?
I decided to just totally skip the highlighting powders .. I think I'm just goign to settle for hush ccb.

I chatted with the MA at the DFS counter last week, and she said that she's seen the products before, so maybe it's coming to Singapore after all.

I tend to forget the safety net that DFS Galleria is.
Yes, if something is not coming on the usual counters we should definetely check over there!
Thank you!!

aaaahhhh, I have changed my mind about this collection at least 10 times!! I think I might get either Queen Bee l/g or pass this collex entirely!

I agree it looks pretty, but like you, I stick to nude or light pinky shades and in my lengthy experience, do not end up using other colours even if they are really pretty and look okay on me. So my suggestion would be to have a look in person and consider if you really see yourself wearing it.
