That sounds like a fairly conservative but beautiful haul--I am afraid to ask how much the Oz prices were for the brush set!
This collection is releasing in Australia on 4th March
So glad I ended up grabbing the items I wanted, Veronicas Blush, Cream Soda and Betty Bright + The Brush Kit... The products are so nice to use!

Nice haul! K+DT also has my attention... Hmmm... must... resist...NARS and Archie!
I got BB + Kiss Don't Tell, Daddy's Little Girl, Lucky in Love, Cream Soda, Flatter Me, Caramel Sundae, and the mirror! (And a sample of Strobe Cream - my first sample & SC ever!)
I think I also ordered last Wednesday. So we had the same delivery time! I think I get my stuff usually in 7 or 6 days now. Once it took a bit longer due to a 4-day weekend or something like that and once I got my stuff the same week - ordered Wednesday I think and the box was with me on Friday pm - and this was the Marilyn Collection of all collections!
I believe once I placed an order on a Thursday and received it on Monday. That was the fastest -> Très Cheek collection. Weird that MM shipped so quickly! Perhaps they were prepared for the upcoming massacre...

Here's Cream Soda blush on me (NC3035 for ref). (Sorry for the crappy lighting and iPhone photo quality)
I like the shade but I have to REALLY pack it on to build up any noticeable color. I thought maybe it'd be a nice spring/summer "no makeup" look blush, but when I get closer to NC35 in the summer, I doubt it will show up at all... and I don't want to be packing blush on when it's hot outside.
I might try it layered over Out For Fun Casual Color cream blush....
Anyone else around my skintone having success with CS? How are you using it if so? Thanks!

imho, nc20 for reference, Cream soda may look hella light in the pan, but when i applied on myself, it was surprisingly more pigmented and more orange than I thought it would be on me. It looked almost like immortal flower in the pan, but definitely way much more orange on me when applied than immortal flower. Just my one cents worth

Same here (nc20 as well) and I think it looks way more pigmented on. It's my favorite blush of the moment.

LOL!! Maybe I'll think about it. I have SO many orange and coral blushes, I'm getting kinda bored...I know! I said bored! LOL!!same for me!! I stay away from corally colors as they usually don't look good on me but since it has so much pink in it i'm able to make it work. so happy with them!! The flatter me REALLY does go perfect with them, you should take that last look before they are gone
now i want the nail polish too

Awww thanks babe! I do like it, I just had to pack soooo much on to get it to show up... I was hoping it would be a pretty summer blush. But when I'm darker and it's hot out, I don't think I'll want to pack on that much blush! I keep debating whether to keep it or pass it on to my pretty, pale, blonde little sister. CS is such a lovely shade I hate to see it wasted in my stash if I never reach for it! It will look gorgeous on her!

Went to NZ Archie's Girls preview today! Found out the department store I was at were the only people doing previews of the collection, so feeling pretty lucky!
Ended up paying $61 ($50 USD) for Flatter Me and $45 ($37 USD) for Ronnie Red. Ronnie Red, oh my - It's honestly the best red EVER on my lips! And Flatter Me is just adorable, I love how it looks on my NC20 skin (I also found out they only had 4 stocked in-store, so was keen to snap it up!).
Also, as a wee surprise, I got a small heart-shaped tin with some cinnamon mints inside since I had booked a preview session Definitely a good day!

Yesterday I went in my nearest mac store for concealer, and of course, although I thought I was done with this collection, I stopped at the Archie's Girls display and they still had Girl Next Door which I have constantly reassured myself I'm fine without. But I ended up getting it along with Hip N Happy Lip Pencil. They go together pretty well, and I wore the combo today. They had a Strawberry Malt on the Betty display with her face on it instead of Veronica's. I thought that was kind of funny.
The girl helping me complimented my blush (which was Prom Princess). So if anyone light skinned (I'm NC15 but I lean more neutral) is still on the fence about that blush and you can get your hands on it, I definitely say go for it! Love it with Play it Proper.
How have you ladies been rocking Lucky in Love pigment? I love it, but I'm not sure what kind of look to go for with it!

A MA at MAC did a look for me using LiL pigment and it turned out nice. She used the Caramel Sundae palette, with the pink on the lid, light brown in the crease, and yellow as a highlight. Then she put LiL over the lid and finished with winged liner. I added Lord It Up pearlglide on the lower lashline and I got several compliments on the look that day!
