Oh dear there's a party for this one???? Are other stores having previews?

I'm so glad that the more I see of this collection, the less I want. I do love the packaging, the theme and the products themselves seem pretty solid, but it's not what I need. Now I just want that Highlight powder, Firecracker, and Sweet & Punchy. I have settled on that. I won't even swatch the lip products so I won't get tempted. I have so many and none of these colors are unique to what I have. I just can't wait to get my hands on the 3 items that I want.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Hipness. I'll probably get that, too.

I'm not feeling this collection anymore, which kinda sucks because I actually like the packaging! I just feel like the lippies are recycled colours from collections before, I already have Hipness (which I love) and as much as I'd like to try out the cream bronzers, I always end up regretting any cream products for the cheeks. I may get the bronze-y looking blush, if it's not too frosty. How depressing!!!

I'm thinking I'm not going to get any lippies now. I might cave and get one gloss, but we'll see. So right now my list is:

Firecracker e/s
Sweet & Punchy e/s
Sand & Sun e/s
Hipness blush
Shimmermoss (pro pan)

Thinking about Float on By and maybe Scorcher too; I'll have to see those in person.

I am actually happy that I don't want much from this collection. I think the seahorse powder and sweet & punchy is all that I may be getting now. I realized I allready have a similar too faced brush to 131 which I use for highlighting. Recently, ive been way more interested in shoes clothes, and accessories so Id rather spend my money on that.

I guess the fact that I still haven't gotten a definitive answer on whether or not the collection is released this month doesn't help. I am like a love struck teenager waiting for my MA to call me and tell me if it arrived in the shipment with Pret à Papier or not.

I know the feeling...

Here, To the Beach will arrive separately from Pret a Papier... a whole month after

Thanks so much for your comprehensive review!!

That's what they are telling me here too, but I'm still hoping they are wrong. It happens.

If they are right, I just don't know what I'll do.. I might end up on ha cruise ship to Helsinki

 

[Pinkdollface]

No!! The release date here has changed

. Now we are getting it the 22th of May and first is was the 8th. With my growing list it could be a good thing. Now i have more time to save money. But i am so exited i can't wait

.

 

[Anitacska]

According to the UK Customer Services, we're not getting this until the 27th after all.

I really hope the lady I spoke to was wrong, but the website's not been updated, so maybe she wasn't wrong after all.

Pinkdollface, where are you?

 

[cutemiauw]

I'm still contemplating of whether I need Hipness blush. Would you think it'll be good for me? I need to save money and lurking in here doesn't help at all

.

Other things I'm interested in:
- Float on By, depending on the shade of turquoise/teal
- Temperature Rising, because I used Obviously Orange (Technakohl liner from Makeup Artist collection) and I like how it looks on my lips. But it's a bit drying. Maybe lipliner won't be as drying :-/

I'm trying to stay away from the e/s (my weakness) but let's see when the time comes

Yes! It would be great if those of you that don't have a (country specific) location in your profile, could keep that in mind when posting about things happening "here" (as in, wherever you are). It's gets confusing.

She was wrong, they're just updating the website!!!

 

[InspiredBlue]

Here's what I learned today: Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland are one "market" in MAC's business structure, and thus has the same managers in charge of releases. So whatever happens in one of these countries, in terms of release months, will also happen in the others. Finland is sadly a different market.

 

[dirtyprincess]

Its online on the english website !!!!!

 

[nunu]

Even though this is up on the UK website, i don't feel like i'm in a rush to get anything. The only thing that interests me are the lip products and the tan blush.

I love the packaging but i have to agree with stv578 (Nora), looks like colours we have seen before interms of the lippies department..I don't use bright es anymore, so they are not piking my interest.

Now you know how we feel every month

 

[SparklesLuvsMAC]

Just narrowing my list down for this collection and I have only ordered the MAC 130 Brush online for now. I want to have a proper look at the collection in person before I go buying anything in haste.
