I would never lie

Its beeeeeautiful! I thought it would look gorgeous on WOC!

EDIT: OH Shontay - you look lovely!!! Flurry of Fun is gawgeous on you & by golly, yes you can see the Teal

 

[shontay07108]

Thanks, ladies.

On my eyes I'm wearing Brown, Now GPS with Cut to Fit shadow on top and expensive pink on the inner eye and Tissueweight as a highlighter. I totally jacked it from my favorite Youtube guru

Oh no hunny bunches, I agree with what you're doing. I hope you don't think I directed my comment at you

It's just when I read these MU threads online and read about people buying 2940935 of the hyped product just because they know it'll sell high on ebay or whatever, is very sneaky to me.
When the Alice+Olivia comes out, I might buy a couple of extra pigments like everyone else, but only to sell to those who won't have it available in their state/country, not to make profit.
ok off my soapbox

What the hell? What's under those pigments, because my Off the Radar does not look that good when I swatch it!

Shontay: Were you at the pre-launch party or is Pro selling them early?

Thanks!! I do think like Anna said that S&P will be more yellow

 

[Winthrop44]

Shontay, thanks for the great review. I am confused about Naked pigment. It isn't the original Naked pigment that's always been around (which I love)?

 

[clslvr6spd]

Hmmm, I wonder how Thrills l/s would look on me? Any thoughts on my NC30ish skin?

So I guess I will cut my pre-order list to; Flurry of Fun l/g, Sun Rush l/d, 2 Marine Life h/p's, Sand & Sun e/s & possibly Thrills l/s.
So I cut Firecracker; I just honestly think I will never touch it just like I don't touch Hot, Hot, Hot. Get-Away-Bronze b/l; Like others have said, I have Otherworldy & it seems prettier than GAB. Float on By e/l, just because I love Undercurrent & I wont use FOB.

I think I will be content with the items I will keep...

 

[TeresitaMC]

^ Shontay you look gorgeous and your swatches really help! (not wallet-wise, though

). The lip swatch of FoF alone could sell that gloss! I am considering it even more now, when in the beginning I didn't consider it at all.


I actually do not like that I am starting to go over my "final list" which had 4 items and I was all ready to go

one to all of the glosses keep creeping up there and I keep trying to swat them back down with a bat.

The guy went in the back and then I swatched the powder. After I picked my jaw up off the floor, the guy returned and I said sorry, but you have to get me another one. I need two! Can you say stunning?! No hype here, it's all the real friggin' deal. Gorgeous and vibrant and insanely smooth. GET IT! Sooo, my final verdict is, if you are on a no buy, get over it. Don't miss this and kick yourself in the arse for years to come. This is my favorite collection of the year so far, replacing my beloved Pret-A-Papier!

Dang, girl! You rocked the PaP collection, too! Your review cracked me up. I can't wait to get my hands on my Marine Life, Hipness, and Rosemary & Thyme... and now you're REALLY making me want Flurry of Fun. :: puts fingers in her ears :: "Flurry WHAT?! I can't hear youuuuuuuu!"

omg I just LOVE Lazy day lipstick. I am so happy I got it. I initially thought it was nothing special, but I really have no other pinks like it. Its a really pretty pale lipstick that looks very natural on me.

 

[Notorious19]

I should probably stay out of this thread...the swatches just completely sent me over my anticipated budget. I'm in love with everything!!!

I think it would look great on you.

I am officially done with this collection. lol

 

[mrslovejoy]

Shontay, could you give some more insight on the cream bronzers? I'm interested in them, but I'm afraid they may not show up on my NC45-NC50 skintone.

Here you go:

Sweet & Punchy, Chartreuse pigment, Sharp, Golden Olive Pigment

 

[January]

I'm so excited for this collection!!!

I went a little crazy at lululemon and Lush today... but passed up some really really nice sunglasses because of To The Beach.

Definitely getting Marine Life, Sweet & Punchy, Life's A Breeze
Maybe... Firecracker (although I'm more leaning towards yes... I keep flipping. If any NW15-20 girls have this... please post!!), Float On By, and Lazy Day

 

[Luiza_T]

I just came back from the Pro store (got a backup for Fun Bathing), and there were two Marine Life left, but the MAs said they were going to get some more. This is the second time, in a second store, that the MAs say they would get more. This makes me wonder why some counters got like 6 ML only.

Yeah, the original Naked is part of that collection, and there are two new "Naked" pigments for deeper skintones. They were released with the fleshtone Chromaline pencils.

Ohhh, I love LuluLemon!

Your list sounds almost identical to what I bought LOL... Great minds think alike and we are similar in skintone

. (I am between NW25/NW30 at the moment).
I am a little darker than you, but my sis is NW20 and Firecracker was AMAZING on her at the preview party. It's very wearable! If you get a chance, I would def try it out. It's a great way to add a little color for summer. I love how all the shadows in this collection can intermingle to create great summer looks!

Are you kidding??? Supermarket Sweep and Shop 'Til You Drop were 2 of my favorite gameshows as a kid. They both came on Lifetime...lol.

You can check out the new naked piggies on MAC pro's website (you just can't order online). MAC Pro
Has anyone tried them? How do they look? I have one (can't even rem which right now LOL) coming to me in a swap
