That's right. We have always got our summer collections in June in the UK. I remember because I always buy myself the summer collection for my birthday.

I've probably confused it with something else..I remember buying the dazzleglasses when they were first promoted on my birthday in June lol.

Goldenfairy, i guess we are June babies

Back to topic, nothing much from this collection excites me. I've always loved MAC's summer collections but this one doesn't excite me much. I guess i'm in the minority.

no, it doesnt excite me remotely, i might just get another 130, possibly an eyeshadow, and i dont want a bronzer in that packaging so i'll get one from the perm line when i get paid

I guess we must be! I must remember to wish you a fab birthday come June!

I felt in the minority with Style Black. I liked that collection but it didn't rock my world. Different strokes for different folks I guess!

I swatched them in the Pret a Papier swatch thread. We are the same skintone too

They are very different.

Can you expand on how they are different? Hipness looks pinkier. Thanks so much!

 

[elegant-one]

Hipness is much more pinky coral but not over the top. It also has a little bit of pearl - not a lot

Instant Chic is just a sheer light natural peach with a lil pink & more matte

 

[Rinstar]

Well I think Thrill l/s just went on the list but Sun & Sand just came off the list. So that's good I guess, one on, one off!

 

[SUMM3RxBABii]

omggg i am in love! i'm def. getting the pink lipgloss and prob. the hipness blush!

 

[GlamQueen21]

I'll skip Sand & Sun e/s since both Sweet & Punchy and Firecracker eyeshadows are the ones that I have my eyes on. I'm thinking about getting Thrills l/s even though it looks pretty!

 

[Susanne]

I posted more official product pictures:

[Kirsty]

In the promo pictures, Humid & Shimmermoss don't look like they do in real (very matte & not true to colour). But they look cute, I want e/s that colour

 

[PinkBasset]

I hope this new light pink lip pencil is the one I've been looking for. In Synch was quite yellow and I much prefer blue pinks.

Besides the lipliner I'm still very excited to see the greenish nailpolish, that sounds so unique (yes, I still don't like Mac nailpolishes. Damn Mac for releasing so nice shades! Maybe the application is better this time...?

).

Sweet&Punchy might be too close to other yellow greens that I have (bitter, overgrown, rated r etc.), so I should skip it (let's see if I can

). I just bought Humid in refill pan and I have Shimmermoss so that leaves me only wanting Sand and Sun from the eyeshadows.

 

[Camnagem]

Will be mine:
Sand & Sun
Life's a Breeze
Hipness
Float on By

Swatch/See in person:
Thrills
Funbathing
Lazy Day
Flurry of Fun
Splashing
Easy Lounger
Beach Bronze Cream Bronzer
In The Buff

I have a feeling like most of the swatch/see in person items will come home with me. I've been saving MAC gift cards from Christmas for the summer and fall collections, and I'll use one here for sure!

which one do you like better? i only want to buy one, i have more than enough blushes (and i'll have even more after into the groove!).
i'm kinda leaning towards IC, i have a feeling it would look gorgeous with rhapsody in two or moon river on top

Oh, I also mentioned the MA in Gothenburg to them, and they were really puzzled about that, because that person should have been at the same update and thus have the same info.

Yes I think they all go to the same update because my MA always goes to Stockholm for hers. So I'm not sure how she knew, maybe she called MAC and asked like Susanne said hers did?

Anyway, I'm hoping for May 15th!
