I am so confused about this collection...seriously i have to see it in person now. I thought I had a list all together and then I started hearing mixed reviews about Hipness and people saying Weekend bronzer was amazing for my skintone and now im just all messed up! So...my list is deleted, no decision until i swatch.

I've narrowed my list down (as I don't have a choice, I'm pretty much broke) to Thrills (want this sooo bad), Marine Life (also wanting this bad), Sweet & Punchy and possibly Beachbound.
I'm excited

I want:
Thrills lipstick
Funbathing lipstick
Flurry of Fun lipglass
Sweet & Punchy
Firecracker
Marine Life
Get Away Bronze blush
Weekend Creme Blush
Refined Golden bronzer
Maybe a second #130 brush
I thought I needed the darker creme bronzer but you guys now have me considering the lighter one as well. I already have hipness and Rosemary & Thyme eye pencil. I love Rosemary and Thyme and have repurchased it many times. I want Humid but I may wait for that one.

Anyone know how Sweet and Punchy compares to the green side of the Nars Rated R duo?

Re: the bronzers....I spent time at the store swatching them and looking at them under the various lights.
First thing: these are not bronzers for anyone who is a WOC. They are bronzers for fair-skinned girls, but they are more glow/highlight/summer sheen products, and Weeekend works as a blush/highlight mainly, because on darker skin it has a "pink bronze" tone to it. Des[ite how dark it looks compared to beach bronze, it is not dark enough for bronzing, and it is the wrong shade for contouring. I bought Beach Bronze for myself as the highligher for the girl who hates MSFs and their chunky glitter. In fact, I can't stand powder highlight products, so this was a beautiful, fine, smooth, refined highlighter for me. I put it on my collarbone on Saturday evening too for a nice subtle sheen.
I think that Weekend was nice too....just BB looked way prettier. I was concerned that Weekend would actually look muddy on me if I didn't get the application right (because it's not dark enough to be a bronzer, but the potential for muddiness when it is built up put me off). Plus I have a few similar highlight colours and blushes, so Weekend wasnt that unique in the end.
Beach Bronze is sheerer, but the glow is so pretty. It's what I wanted every highlight product to look like on me...subtle, sexy, glow-y....barely there and so refined it looks like it's coming from within....when the sun hits on it....I just love it!

Now that I think on it, I'll probably skip Weekend too. Since it's suggested to be used as a blush for us WOC, I think it'd be easily dupable.

I'm really not wanting much from this collection. The more I see swatches the less excited I get. I was thinking the marine life, the bronze blush and thrills. I'll have to swatch them tonight and see. Hopefully I won't like much I need to save for vacation and the family needs summer clothes.

I went to the unveiling party last night and totally blew my budget.
I made off with:
2 Marine Life High Light Powders
1 Thrills Lipstick
1 Easy Lounger Lip Glass
1 Sweet & Punchy E/S
1 Fire Cracker E/S
and also:
A new e/s pallet
and an Arena shadow.
I love my haul and am glad I got two of the Marine life powders.
The powder is lovely and looks stunning on my NC45/NC50 skin.
I was on the fence with the Thrills but once I put the gloss on top of it - wow!
I'm going to work it with either cork or mahogany lip pencil.
I skipped Fun Bathing lip stick because it reminds me so much of "O" and I am working that one right now.
I swatched Hipness blush but passed for now. I might mosey back next week to check it out again.
The preview party was mobbed and it looks as if MAC was making dineros hand over fist! I'm glad I got there early because the Marine Life powder sold out before 8:00 pm and everything else was going pretty fast.
I suppose the MAC store will have to re-stock before next Thursday!!
