I've got swatches!
I sent my personal little spy (I'd say she's NC15-ish) to go and swatch for me today in Tallinn, so here are swatches of my wishlist.

I've tried to label them, but I might have mixed some lippies up.

Lipsticks in the left column: BeachBound, Thrills, FunBathing, Lazy Day
Eyeshadows in the right column: Firecracker, Sand & Sun, Sweet & Punchy, Float on By eye kohl.

Firecracker, Sand & Sun, Sweet & Punchy, Float on By

BeachBound, Thrills, FunBathing, Lazy Day

Lipglasses: Splashing, Easy Lounger, Flurry of Fun

Thanks so much! I can tell what you mean now, I think I'll check out Lazy Day on counter tomorrow and maybe B2M for it.

Edit: Well, try to B2M for it, if they'll let me!

Thanks for the swatched InspiredBlue! Thrills and splashing are on my list

 

[peachsuns]

Your little spy (cute!) did an excellent job, InspiredBlue! Thank you so much!

Sand & Sun is back on my list.

 

[snowflakelashes]

Inspired Blue - aww now I want Float on By Khol even more.

lol

 

[AudreyNicole]

Thanks for the swatches, Inspired Blue! The more I see of the lipsticks, the less interested I am in those... I am definately still wanting the 3 non-permanent e/s. Float on By e/k, and Easy Lounger l/g. The jury is still out on everything else.

 

[Flaminbird]

I went to MAC today to get the Superglass and I asked if they were having a preview or anything and she said no but I could sign up to get my makeup done so I scheduled that for the 28th. She said all the MUA have been playing with the collection and really love it

I feel the same, FunBathing is the only one that I feel is special. So now I've cut my list from 11 to 7 items. Yay, progress.

Love this look but can allready dupe it with colors I have. Funbathing isn't what I expected so that's a skip for me. I know Ill never wear firecracker so another skip.

Iam left with seahorse powder, sweet and punchy even though it's prolly really similar to "lucky charms" green duo by Too Faced which I allready have.
And the teal liner I have to see in person, does anyone know how it compares to undercurrent?

 

[InspiredBlue]

If I recall correctly Erin or someone else has commented on Float on By and Undercurrent's similarities - Undercurrent has a black base which makes a lot of difference.

Hey all!

So i was going to skip the entire collection because of the packaging but i did ended up buying Sweet & Punchy today. I wonder how it compares to With A Twist, which was in the Formal Black - Intense Eyes palette (2006 if i'm not mistaken), i've been obsessed with finding a dupe of this color!

Hey there, how are you?

So the collection is out in France as well? Did you like the other colours?

 

[GlamQueen21]

I saw the Marine Life blush in my May issue of Seventeen and when the US/Canada gets this collection on May 27th, that would be the first item to be sold out. I may order it in case anyone misses out on it.

I'm probably behind in posting it but my friend showed me this earlier tonight. Most of the things are so fake! Also if you note at the bottom of each item where it says "Solemn Commitment" it's not even a sentence and doesnt make sense! "Rest assured that shopping mall credit" DAZZLEGLASS, Mac MakeUp DAZZLEGLASS , MAC DAZZLEGLASS Cosmetics They even have used MAC's product photos and swatches

InspiredBlue: Thanks so much for those swatches!! Although they make a bit hard my wait ...

[GlamQueen21]

Shoegal-fr: Hello!!!!! Welcome back!! I've missed you and your tweets on Twitter!

Back to the topic of this collection, I for one under no circumstances am I ever going to miss out on Sweet & Punchy e/s since I already have Rated "R" e/s. Veluxe Pearls cannot be passed up.

 

[Luiza_T]

Before seeing the swatches, all I had in mind from this collection was Hipness blush. Now I have 10 items in my list, but I'm not sure of 3 of them.

For sure: 131 brush, Hipness blush, Marine Life h.p., Sand & Sun e/s, Firecracker e/s, Life's a breeze lip pencil, Float on by eye kohl. Maybe: Lazy Day, Thrills and Fun bathing l/s.

 

[elegant-one]

Well after seeing the new swatches I'm still loving
life's a breeze, lazy day, easy lounger, sun & sand

 

[kpenn]

Now I'm having trouble narrowing down the lipsticks. Lazy Day looks so unlike anything I have; although I'm normally not attracted to shades like it, I think that this might make a good start in the pink department. Fun Bathing also looks fun. I'm really hoping that Thrills is close to Fresh Salmon so that I can pass on it!

Sand & Sun is slowly creeping back onto my list too...wahhhhh!
