Thanks, for the tip

I have really wanted to try NARS blush and bronzers for awhile so I think I need to give Laguna a try

I wasn't overly impressed with any of the MAC bronzers I have tried but they aren't bad either.

I remember that rain!!

So many outdoor things delayed because of it, too

I have my maybe list but need swatches to make up my mind...I've looked at the info enough

Doesn't seem like it'll be a big one

I might want a cream bronzer for contouring.

I would have loved to see a repromote of Turquatic Heat fragrance with this collection. It is totally different than any scent I normally wear (usually I alternate between MAC MV3 (black top) and Prada year round) but it is smoking hot!

CantAffordMAC described it as a blend of the beach and hot sex. LOL. I miss her.

Turquatic Heat - Turquatic heat is a warm, floral, woody fragrance, with a sultry modern sensuality. Inspired by the original turquatic scent, this new edition delivers a unique and strong personality, delivered thru a contrasting heated sweetness.

Keynotes: Cedrat saturated with the clear effervescence of Mineral Water, Lotus Flower, Opulent Orris, Jasmine and Tiare Soul.(LE)

I think I'd like the cream bronzer in Beach Bronze from this collection. The packaging looks gorgeous. I'd also be tempted by the 131 brush.

I wonder which cream bronzer would be better on lighter skintones. Any suggestions?

I'm gonna guess Beach Bronze. It is described as a soft bronze whereas Weekend is more like deep orange bronze.

 

[abbyquack]

I was also gonna mention, did they lower the price of the 131? I couldve sworn it was $38 with colour craft, not $34?

hhmmm i hope it is lower this year! because i missed out on it last year and would like to pick it up this time around!

 

[Boasorte]

Quick! Delete that before MAC realizes they made a change in the price!

Haha don't worry, I'm sure they're aware-- IIRC, this brush did not sell too well last year. At least not as well as other LE brushes have. I picked it up well after Colour Craft was released (3 months after, I think), so the fact that my counter still had it means it wasn't exactly flying off the shelves. It is, IMO, a decent brush- I use it every now and again, though it is not necessarily a must-have, so I think $34 is an appropriate price point. Even though it's only $4 less, it just sounds more affordable

I'm not a big bronzer person, but I'm sure if I stay on this thread long enough I will be magically compelled to try all sorts of bronzing products from this collection. Such a bad influence. I've already been looking forward to trying Hipness this time around however. I was not into blush when it was previously released. Oddly enough, I can't seem to spend money on brushes or bags. I'd rather spend it on more makeup. I purchased some necessary brushes, then called it good. It would have to be really special to sway me from more makeup. I think I have a problem.

Oh well! I still can't wait to see some swatches of the new goodies. I am a little iffy on the packaging, but I will wait to judge it until I see it in person. I would have gone with different colors had I designed it (I wish!). It still has potential though. I'm looking forward to seeing everything in person or at least through the eyes of everyone on Specktra. Since I almost always have to order online, all the girls here really help me out! I am already making my list and checking it twice.... Of course, I have to survive Art Supplies first....

Yes, this thread is addicting LOL!

I just bought two more MAC Bronzers from the CCO today! Even though I am not even a MAC Bronzer fan LOL... They had Golden and Matte Bronze which I've been wanting to try.

Still need to get NARS Laguna

 

[mac_aiken]

^^It can be very addicting. I actually got Hipness off of EvilBay today because I couldn't wait.

Let me know how you like Golden bronzer. I want to try that but I am so pale I am afraid it will look muddy.

 

[Rinstar]

I wear bronzer every day of my life, year round. But I already own more bronzers than I need LOL. My excuse is always "but I use it every day!"

 

[BaDKiTTy69]

I use bronzers almost everyday too. I have Refined Golden and Matte Bronze. And my favorite one is Matte Bronze, I love that bronzer.

[StarrySim]

I should be able to B2M for these lippies, right? LoL was a no-go at my mac store, but maybe because it's licensed? I really want Lazy Day! I'm also super excited about the 131 coming back, I won't miss it this time.
