Thanks, no I havn't tried it, but I think I will skip Pollinator anyway. It seems quite dupable to me.

I picked up Queen Bee and I heart both fragrances but picked up Naked Honey.
The price went up by $2.50- even the MUA didn't know the new price!
The skin salve was waaay bigger than I expected but I'm still on the fence with the price.

My goodness, I am in LOVE with this whole collection...Especially Buzz and Queen Bee l/g and Buckwheat e/s

they are very different!

i agree. pollinator is more of a light, orangey-coral, where dear cupcake is a midtone corally-pink.

Now that I saw Color Craft swatches, and I have very few lemmings, I think I'll get more from Naked Honey. It's good that it hasn't been released here yet.

No, I don't

But I guess that's probably a good thing because the more the days pass, the less things I want...

Buckwheat is the bomb. It is the only thing I got from the collection and I love it. How can an e/s be both warm and cool. You can definitely use this brown for a lot of looks.

But what is up with these hard surfaces on the Frosts lately. The BBR frosts were hard too. Not that you don't get pay-off but if you swipe with your finger and not a brush, it is hard to get the color off your finger to transfer for a swatch, weird.

I found a pretty way to wear Queen Bee Lipglass, I wear it over Sandy B Lipstick. If I wear it alone, it barely shows up on me, but over the lipstick, it seems to look pretty true to it's color.

Just got Queen Bee l/g (2 of them) & the salve, love the salve I want to pick up another, hopefully tomorrow. At first I put Queen Bee on & I was so disappointed, it was more orange not apricot. Since I bought 2 from the sale (so I didn't have to pay shipping & I was sure I'd love it) I thought I'd better see if I could get it to work. So I tried it over Creme D' Nude & it's beautiful!!! It brings out the apricot, glad I bought 2 now, lol. I did pick up the other 2 l/g's also & love them too!

Saw this collection yesterday. Loved She's A Star, Queen Bee was disappointing, and Buzz was too brown on me.

Didn't like the fragranced stuff.

^^ Where did you see it? So it came here after all.

Hopes for the best for Euristocrats too.

It's at DFS Galleria!

They have everything in except the 2 perfumes.

Is Euristocrats not coming in?

 

[Miss QQ]

^^Thanks, I will go there to take a look. Yeah, somebody mentioned that in the thread. May not be coming.

 

[Lauli]

I think I'm just going to get Queen Bee. My sister is getting the salve so I'll just use hers

 

[Miss QQ]

I went to look at this collection and the only thing I like but didn't buy was the salve. It's light floral honey scent is very pleasant. The perfumes are so sold and the testers were removed from display.

I sniffed in the salve container and was put off by the smell, didn't bother trying it on.

The perfumes are not sold out, the stock never came in because MAC fragrances don't do well here, so they didn't order them.

[Carrie Ann]

I bought Creme de Miel (I have a crush on such light golds and beiges

), Pollinator (I think it works great with my blue eyes) and Quenn Bee. Whata beautiful summer color for lips- Im so in luv

I liked Buckwheat, too. But its just a brown with gold, isnt it? Its a great colour, but nothing special, and I think, Ive got a kind of this approx. 5 times
