And after reading this thread, I am really interested in the cream bronzer. Which color do you girls think would be best for someone who is NC 37?? TIA |

I received "Beach Bronze" this morning and looove it! I am an NW15/20, so it shows up nicely on my skin tone. The colour is quite light, but buildable and has good pigmentation. Maybe worth swatching both colours, but I think the darker one might suit you better.
I'd definitely recommend the cream bronzers, the texture is gorgeous, easy to blend and has a slight shimmer.

I was just wondering for those that purchased the cream bronzer in Beach Bronze, is it pigmented? Would it work on NC25/30? Thanks 
My list for this collection is growing by the second since I adore anything beach, bronze and golden

To me they're not close. If LG had a baby with Bitter, that might be close to SP. SP is way more yellowy/chartreuse and brighter than LG which to me is mossy lime-green. I guess it's always a personal interpretation with colours

I just got back from seeing the collection. I only swatched the things I was interested in so I wasn't tempted to buy anything else. I had my MA hold the following for me:
Sweet & Punchy e/s - WOW! It is insanely bright and pigmented. It was one of the only things in the collection I would have purchased sight unseen. I love green! I will definately be using it alot this summer!
Firecracker e/s - This one is quite unique, even compared to HHH. The VP finish is great as usual. It's kind of hard to explain. A lighter, more orange rather than red, HHH. There are some coral/pink tones too.
Easy Lounger l/g - I knew I wanted this all along, but I am really excited about it after seeing it in person. It is sheer, and super sparkly with lots of multicolor shimmer. A pale peachy pink. Definately a "me" color.
Flurry of Fun l/g - OMG the pics and swatches so far have been great, but can't even begin to capture the beauty of this one in real life. The green flash is pretty apparent. So unique! It is sheer too, which I love, and not as orange swatched as it is in the tube.
Float on By e/k - I was trying desperatly to pass on this, but I just couldn't. It is parrot e/s in kohl form. Bright and beautiful and unlike any other MAC teal liner. It is more blue than undercurrent and minted, and more green than smoothblue technakohl.
I swatched Lazy Day and Beachbound which were the only lippies I was interested in. Swatched side by side next to Politely Pink, I couldn't tell which was LD and which was PP. They are nearly identical on me. I will B2M for PP later. Beachbound is super pretty in the tube, but very, very frosty swatched, and only has a faint hint of peach. It's mostly frost when you swipe it. Oh, and I wanted In The Buff nail polish, but it just didn't grab me. It was more tan than green and I just wasn't wowed. They didn't have the other nail polish yet. Finally, Sand & Sun e/s. It is pretty, and definately peach with decent payoff for a matte. I am going to pass for now. I just don't think I will use it enough. Maybe once I see looks done with it, I will be tempted, but it was an easy pass for me.
HTH!

^Thanks they really help because some of us haven't been lucky enough to see the collection in person yet
Although it's fun to check it out online so I can get a general idea of what I'd like, but stuff is always prettier in person
One more week until the Launch Party!!!

I'm eying:
- Firecracker e/s
- Sun and Sand e/s

Crap, sounds like I need at least Easy Lounger and probably also Flurry of Fun. I guess if I'm just getting Firecracker, Sun & Sand, and the pink lipliner that isn't so bad. I'll definitely pass on Lazy Day since I already have and love Politely Pink.

Honestly, I haven't been this excited about lipglass in a long time. These are just the kind of colors I love, and the sparkle is amazing. I can just picture them as the sun reflects off of them. They are super pretty, and with intensity of the eyeshadows, they are perfect since they are more sheer.

I didn't swatch the bronzers, but the bronzing oil in the bottle is SUPER sparkly. I know alot of people will love that, and just as many will hate it.
Not something I was interested in at all.
I swatched Get Away Bronze, and it is buildable, so us fair girls could get away with it if you like the bronze look. I don't care for it, so I will pass. I already have Hipness, but if I didn't, I'd be all over it. It is one of my favorite summer blushes. It instantly brightens up my face.

Any thoughts on face/cheek product? Marine Life, Hipness, cream bronzers, and etc? TIA! |

Glad you found some things that you liked, Audrey. I'm just bummed b/c it's none of the stuff I've got my sights on
. I can't wait to just get my hands on this collection so that I can forget about it.
Anyone have this at their pro store? I may have to call mine by the end of the week. I can't take the waiting.
