^Ha ha! Breathe slowly and deeply.

I wasn't going to get anything from this collection, but "Sweet Strawberry" is calling my name. Think it would work on an NW50?

I have on Fashion Mews today with Lush N Lilac creme liner and Fast Friends l/g (seriously this l/g really makes Fashion Mews wearable...tones it down some)...LOVE this look. I have so many different liners I want to try Fashion Mews and Lavendar Whip with! I'm excited.

Oki, so I just got back from MAC and haven't had a chance to put everything to the test but here's my first impressions

Cutester l/s: NO BUY ~ I went in really wanting this but it was basically imperceptible on my medium pigmented lips... :/

Mimmy l/g: very sheer. Sooo pretty in the tube (I got sucked in by the packaging
tong.gif
) I layered it over Luv-4-Ever Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolour so the effect is basically my natural medium pigmented lips but better. I could probably dupe the look with Luv-4-Ever Pro Longwear & Love Nectar Lustreglass but Mimmy has the Lipglass texture that I think sticks around longer on me (I justify this purchase in my mind by thinking I can switch up the LE doefoot applicator on other glosses when I'm done with Mimmy)

Fun & Games bpb: not orange as pictured in some swatches. Apricot-Peach VERY sheer. I will probably layer this over a matte blush for a slight shimmer (I wanted an apricot for my blush collection and the cute packaging sealed the deal

)

Brush Set: Cup is quite sturdy, good weight although a lil small, perfect for SE size brushes ... not cheap plastic as i was afraid it might be. 139SE decent SE quality, 109SE is craptacularly craptastic

, 187SE... I have yet to test the 187SE... though it looks ok for the SE version

Medium size makeup bag: nicely finished on the inside, roomy enough for brushes + makeup

Overall, I was sucked in by the fact I

Hello Kitty (I had a Hello Kitty themed bathroom at one point in my life cuz the apt i moved into had a pink bathtub & toilet so I just ran with it!

) ; the super cute packaging; the LE allure; and the fact can always use another 187 & 139 brush... I'm such a sucker

BONUS: I got the free reusable tote

$173.60 CAD taxes inclusive...

I wanted to get something for the packaging alone, but nothing grabs me and those shadows are dupeable. I may just settle on a beauty powder blush or the purse mirror. It's like MAC just released any old thing because they know people will buy it anyway.

I've been so up and down with this collection, I'm a Hello Kitty fanatic...love her. So I knew accessories were a no go for me, I can find stuff from Sanrio, Tokidoki and other places which are much cheaper and a bigger selection. I did end up getting the brush set and the makeup bag. As cute as the keychain was I had to say no

Mimmy lipgloss: very pretty, looks pink in tube but goes on and seems to just slightly pinken the lips. I think it would be nice over any of the lipsticks. I wore it over Fresh Brew, very nice combo for me

Too Dolly: I missed C-shock and I really really want Romping, so I got this one. So far i'm liking this one, just because i love bright colors.

Lucky Tom: i really like the purple in this pallete. I have paradisco so i guess i got another

I'm wearing the pallete now and it seems like i can make some nice daytime looks with this one.

Most Popular lipstick: Loves it!!!

Fun n Games blush: nice sheer peachy golden highlight

Popster tinted lip conditioner: it is pretty, sheer and basic

Yes some of these colors are dupable but i'm just getting my collection started so i don't have dupes for them. Overall it was alot of hype for this collection I was expecting something more, but i'm happy. I restrained myself to what i truly wanted.

I posted some dupes of the Lucky Tom palette in the swatch thread and on my blog. But these are the dupes I came up with...

Creme Royale - Magic Dust e/s (Barbie Loves MAC), Provence Pigment, Shroom, and many others
Paradisco - D'Bohemia e/s or the coral color from the Fafi Eyes 2 Quad
Stylin' - Violet Trance (Pandamonium Quad)
Lucky Tom - Gilded Ash Metal X

HTH!

You're not alone. I already have Paradisco and I still got the palette too, LOL!!

I think that palette is the most wearable, IMO.

Will buy those on Thursday when I go for my makeover. I don't own any MAC l/l. I did try the FF l/g which did tone it down some...not enough tho.

How does Lavender Whip look on us? I forgot to swatch it while I was there.

Ladies, I have a question. (Remember, I'm still a newbie.

) Is the Hello Kitty collection available at the counters (e.g. Saks, Belk, etc.) now since it's available online?

And any brown girl that posts a swatch of Sweet Strawberry will become my new best friend!
