like others have said, bronzer (whether creme or powder) should never be applied to the entire face!
just in the shape of a "3" on each side of the face. there's a new artist video on mac's website that shows how to apply bronzer. they're using a powder bronzer, but creme bronzer can be used the same way.

Or should i not even be putting powder bronzer all over my entire face now? LOL! I swear i don't look like Snookie from Jersey Shore! |

My favorites are:
Temperature Rising
Flurry of Fun (backed up)
Sweet & Punchy
The base color of Thrills is plummier than I had expected, so I am still undecided about that one.

I really love thrills - would have never have bought it but my MA had me try it with Flurry of Fun (also LUV!) and it's now my favorite - been wearing both everyday. I just never thought that color would look good on me.
I also like Hippness blush and Scorcher nail polish.
I did buy ML but like other people, i just sit and look at it for now. I know I'll use it but right now it just looks so pretty sitting on my dresser. I keep showing it to my husband saying "Look how cute it is!" Thank God I have someone to put up with my craziness!

It is easier to list what I didn't get from this collection.
oy.
But I have no buyer's regrets like I sometimes do from other collections.
I have had more fun with TTB than I have for a while.
I have had fun with the creme bronzers (yes I got them both).
For the reasons that some complain, I like them. I like that they aren't really heavy in color. I can pretty much run my brush in it and apply (in that 3 shape).
Can't screw up. No Snooki face. (did any of you see the preview for the up coming season of Jersey Shore? Jwow had a whole suitcase of bronzers, lol. That cracked me up).
Also, I have never had any luck with a creme blush or creme product on my face. They seem to disrupt foundation.
But these, no matter if I'm using a liquid, powder, or my dinair airbrush, they don't disrupt the foundation. They also do not look greasy... at all.
There is some shimmer, so I don't use in contour. I don't want any shimmer in areas I contour.
I use refined golden in contour (already had, and always use every day. That or a Stila bronzer I have, but I like Refined golden better). And either GAB or ML on apple. The indecision is sometimes painful as which one to use, GAB or ML. I love them both. I also got hipness, but find myself using ML or GAB most. I don't dislike hipness, I just LOVE ML or GAB on more.
Of the 4 lipsicks I got.. I did get them all, with a back up of Thrills... I find myself using Thrills and Beachbound most. Love them all though. Each and every one. I never like all the lipsticks in a collection.
I love LOVE,,, did I say LOVE temperature rising. Add Flurry of Fun. mama...
I try to not use the same color every day, but it's hard. I love TR, beachbound and Flurry of fun combo. makes me feel so purty
I have O, so I was concerned Funbathing would be too similar, but to me it's worth having both. I like the finish and feel of Funbathing more, and on me, I pull more plum from it than O, which is good.
LOVE lazy day with a bronzey eye. I've never paired a pinky lip with a bronze eye. Again.. fun and purty!
I didn't get either eye kohl. or the pink lipliner. I didn't get splashing or Easy Lounger. Instead I got 3 FOF.
THe bronzing oil, I like, don't love. Like enough to keep and not return, but don't love. KWIM?
I have backups. And I don't do backups. But the FOF and Thrills backups are my exceptions. I would have gotten an ML backup, if possible.
so, yeah. This collection makes me very, very happy!
I love reading y'alls faves and not so faves!
OH, I didn't get the bag. I instead got the backups I wanted. I also only got one shadow (Sun and Sand... I depot, LE or not, so therein lies more inner turmoil. If I can get perm shadows I do. I about cried when I depotted my GMLOL shadows. But I end up not using if I don't depot)--Ok thought process derail there.
Man, that was a ramblefest!

I wish I could send some of this ridiculous Texas sun and heat to you! Tell you what, let's swap for a month. I go to Finland and you come to Texas
It'll put a whole new meaning to "glow".
I bet you will enjoy your body oil though!

You know, I think one of the things I liked about this collection was that it made me go out of the box. Using some orange-y colors with some teal, blues, greens.
and pink with bronze.
I agree, humid and shimmermoss are such awesome colors. Colors I didn't play with enough. And although I didn't get Firecracker, I use hot, hot, hot (with a touch of expensive pink), to get a color I'm happy with on the eye with the rest of the collection colors.

That's what I love about MAC, too. Being creative, thinking outside the box...
My tops:
I reach the most for Thrills, Flurry of Fun and Hipness.
I got one of the cream bronzers too and Golden, which I use often, but I don't love them as much as the other items.

My most used, in order of most to least:
Easy Lounger - simple, pretty, effortless. It's always in my purse for touch-ups to whatever else I'm wearing.
Beach Bronze - never used bronzer before (NW15), but this just gives a nice subtle touch of color and some shimmer. I use it almost every day lately on my temples, cheek contour and the leftovers on forehead, nose and chin. I do find I also need to add a touch under the nose or over the lip, since otherwise that area stands out a little too pale (but just a tiny touch). It's been replacing foundation!
Marine Life - so gorgeous. Not hard to separate out the colors if I only want one or the other. The only reason this doesn't get daily use is I'm still in love with Bi-Tone from Too Fabulous, so I just trade off...
Flurry of Fun - I love it! It's so beautiful - but I don't have a backup so I sort of ration its use. If that tangerine dazzleglass with teal highlights from Digipops isn't better, I'm going to break down and back this baby up.
I've also got Thrills, Temperature Rising and the body oil, but I've been in kind of a low key mode lately so I've only been using them if I'm out on the town.
