Shame London Luton doesn't have a Mac counter :/

I wear it as blush and did notice that by a few hours it does look splotchy and like 2 dots on my cheeks.

Wow that sucks. I am not a fan of Benefit cosmetics at all. After trying anf trying, I find their products to be mediocre.

I've heard a lot about Benefit cosmetics but never got around to purchase anything from that brand. I do want to try their lipglosses!

On topic, I cannot believe that tomorrow, we are going to be one month and 25 days away until this collection comes out.

Have you tried using either of them? I don't have a CCO near me, so I am just counting down until the collection is released.

I am kind of relieved to hear that Benefit's Dallas isn't Specktra-worthy because now I have no desire to try it. So far, I have only tried Coralista, which is nice. It isn't spectacular, but it's pretty and subtle.

I have to admit, I thought I'd be able to pass on this collection, with the exception of Hipness of course. But I must admit, I'm "kind of" getting excited about it being released. I'm really looking forward to seeing more about it- the products, NOT the packaging though

You didn't find the 134 too scratchy Susanne? I checked it out and thought it was really scratchy, not soft at all.

Really? This is the softest brush I ever had!

 

[Winthrop44]

I guess I'm just too used to my taklon brushes then.

I saw my MA's update book today, and the looks for this collection are AMAZING

There is one green one in particular that I can't wait to recreate using Sweet and Punchy and Humid and Float on By e/k. My MA said that they collection is great, and the beach bag is very nice. This collection is the next one that I am really excited about. I can't wait!

You know for some reason I wasn't interested in this collection at all until your post

You are not the first person to tell me that.

It was funny... my MA was flipping through her update book crazy fast, and I saw the looks for this collection, and got all excited and asked her to go back. They are all so pretty and wearable. I am super duper excited about certain pieces in the collection, and others not so much. Sweet & Punchy, Float on By and Hipness are my huge wants. Like seriously HUGE lemmings.

I usually don't get excited about MAC summer collections cause they tend to be warmer colors, but this one looks like a winner.

My 134 is also quite scratchy, same with my 150. I don't really use the 134 for that reason. It's too bad b/c it cost me a pretty penny, but at least I got it during the F&F sale last year so I saved a bit on it.

 

[RayannaBanana]

I don't know which I like better Hipness or Instant Chic blush.

I'm also still very curious about the Cream Bronzers.
