So since it's on the UK site, you can see the looks for this collection!

The Sweet and Punchy & Firecraker looks are...

And Temperature Rising too... My favorite collection looks in a long time!

oh no... i must go to mac thursday morning, i feel an uncontrollable urge to order stuff now, but it wont come before it is released on thursday so i might as well wait.. i hate waiting, i feel sorry for you guys in the other parts of the world still waiting!

I have never appreciated the swatches of collections as much as i do now! I stopped myself from placing random items in my basket and thought i better just wait till i go to the counter this weeked and view this collection in person.

Thank you everyone who always post product swatches

^^ I know. As much as I wish the US was getting this collection now too, I am kind of glad to see some swatches first, without feeling the panic of needing to buy right away. This will be a big haul for me, and I am trying to narrow down my list a bit. I am so thankful for the swatches, but at the same time, with every one I see, my list gets BIGGER, not smaller.

this is exactly what i am worried about, i dont want to buy random items, with no decent swatches to look at because we cant return items here if we simply dont like them, only if they havent been used or they are faulty, i will wait, be patient and go on friday when my bf and i were going to go shopping anyway

i know i definitely want firecracker, sweet and punchy and the coral crepe paint pot from pret, but my maybe list is huuuge!

i'm not sure about what bronzer to get, need to try

i also want to check out

hipness blush
float on by and rosmary and thyme e/l
sand and sun e/s
131 brush (how similar is it to the 188?)
thrills lipstick


and fold and tuck from pret a papier

best to wait and get swatches... (at least i will keep repeating this to myself til friday) i will be jumping up and down on the bed first thing friday morning waking up my boyfriend like it is christmas day!

i didnt even last ten minutes, i paniced about coral crepe paint pot, so i ordered a new 15 palette and firecracker, sweet and punchy, hipness and coral crepe

it comes on release day, so i can play with these goodies, and check out the rest friday

i am ashamed... excited about my goodies, but ashamed!!

edit: i will post my first swatches on thursday of the e/s i got, and then the rest on friday when i have been to the counter..

what is the right method for photographing swatches? one with flash and one with out?
natural light or inside?

the ones in the store will be off my phone, but the stuff i buy will be taken with a pretty good dig cam at home.

Outdoors in good natural light shows colors best in my opinion, but do a couple of different shots and see what turns out best.

hello

you think funbathing is very dark ?? because i love cremesheen

The more i see these shadows, the more i can't wait! I was in a MAC store today and they were unloading the boxes of product. The boxes look so pretty!

Sand and Sun, Sweet and Punchy and Firecracker look promising to me. I would love to try Freshwater with them. That is one of my favorite blues.

that's what i figured, but i've done my order now, it will have to wait to be mine until friday when i go to the store!

can anyone give me their two cents? i dont have a 188, should i just get a 188 or should i get the 131?
