WOC: Spring Forecast Collection

[Goat Goat Etc.]

Show Orchid + Electric Fuchsia l/g on NC50

Yes. I realize I need a real camera, not an Iphone-r-boner.

 

[blazeno.8]

So I did my preorder. I might get a couple more things, but so far I ordered:
Ripe Peach
Kumquat
Fresh Salmon
Color 4

I might get:
Rose Maiden
Hush Hush Rose
Pinkura

Vintage Grape is pretty, but I think It might be too heavy for me and I already have softer purples.

 

[Prototype83]

I can't wait until the 11th!!!! I may have to just order online...

This is my definite list:
Ripe Peach blush
Vintage Grape blush
Kumquat l/g
Electric Fuschia l/g
Gold Dust l/g
Hot Hot Hot e/s
Fresh Salmon l/s

Then I have a "maybe" pile...
Bronzilla l/s
Radicchio l/s
Straw Harvest e/s
Very Violet e/s (I own almost 20 purples...smh!)

I'm passing on Lala b/c I already own Romping (BTW this paired with Expensive Pink is sooo pretty!)...and I'm passing on Lavendar Wind b/c I bought Opal lusterglass about a month ago from the CCO.

 

[Ashleybubbles83]

okay, now i think i will pass on the purple quad, didn't really like what i've seen so far in terms of swatches. plus i just bought a lot of purple shadows so i'm good right now...

i like the STACKED 1 loose pigments, very violet e/s, the vintage grape and springshine blush ombres, and the amber quad...so definitely will be picking those up.

 

[gemmel06]

i dont know ladies i think im just going for the lipglosses and liipsticks

 

[Missjailor]

Can't wait to get:
Colour 3 Eye shadow quad ... I looove purples
Very Violet ... see

Hot Hot Hot ... need a decent orange for summertime
Purple Rage Lipglass ... dunno yet for this one


Lucky girls.. here in Paris, we are just into All Ages All Races, All Sexes...

 

[ohsoshy]

Electric Fuchsia reminds me of High Top l/s from the Fafi collection. Damn I should had kept that

 

[amethystkisses]

i wanted to get bubblegum l/s but its OOS already

 

[Face2Mac]

Is their any love for Rose Maiden? It doesn't seem really popular.

 

[misha5150]

^^YES!! Rose Maiden is BEAUTIFUL!! I am going to return Bubblegum because that lippie HIGHLY dissapointed me (WTF was all the fuss about?!) and either pick up RM or one of the Collection 4 lippies.

 

[urbanD0LL]

i got ember glow lipglass (gorgeoouuuuss with a brown lipliner , geeezus!) and springshine blush ombre, which is a really nice highlighter and bronzer at the same time for me . i was on my lunch break and just wanted to get something from the line but i'll have to go back to take a closer look at it .

 

[blazeno.8]

So I picked everything up today and I am in love with my choices!

I think corals are just great for spring. I'll put up swatches tomorrow.

 

[HeavenLeiBlu]

yeah, im pretty much standing by my "pre game" opinion/assumptions. For me, the gems are all in the coral portion of the release. Thing is, I have dupes or better alternatives for all the offerings in the coral group.

As for the rest, almost none of the products seemed vibrant in person, compared to all the promo pics and swatches; at least not on my brown skin. I walked away with only vintage grape ombre.

I think that this is a pretty good release for someone for someone w/o a lot of makeup, or for someone who collects for the thrill of it. Theres something for everyone, but nothing to lise your hair over if you miss out (except the corals!)

 

[Happyone81]

So made it through the snow storm aftermath to get some of the collection.
I ended up with these items that I just love ripe peach ombre, electric fuschia, ember glow, Almondine, gold dust (which is old out a few of Pittsburgh's counters) victorian, and fresh salmon.
I haven't really tried my eyeshadows hot, hot , hot, straw harvest and lala but I will soon.
I am taking back pink burst because it is just like a girl about town with a little bit of glitter. I have glitter that I can add on my own. Not sure what I will get to replace it.

 

[sdtjefferson]

I checked everything out today and I like the collection. I'm not longer allowing myself to purchase individual shadows or lipglass from MAC so those were a no go for me. But they were all very pretty. I B2M for Radiccio(sp?) lipstck and purchased Vintage Grape Blush and Colour 4 quad. I thought all the blushes were pretty but VG was the only one that was really different from what I already have, so pigmented. The MA said the ombres were supposed to last for 8hrs. We'll see about that. I may go back for Springshine but only if it is still available in a few weeks.

 

[gabi03]

Does anyone else love Ripe Peach blush ombre? I'm in love, I think i've found my summertime blush. And to sdtjefferson, they do last all day, which is a first for me. I'm very happy.

The quad #4 was a hit today as well, I realized that is pretty much foolproof and I can't mess up while using it. 2 thumbs up!

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

Azalea Blossom for NC50 anyone? Haven't gone to my store yet and didn't get to touch it at the preview.

I'm really curious what the lavender/purpled-pink portion of the blush lays like on NC50.

 

[ohsoshy]

Has anyone tried Beigeland or Bronzilla?

 

[iadorepretty]

so yesterday i finally got the chance to see the collection in person and swatch some things. i ended up getting more than i had originally anticipated

some things that i wasn't impressed by at all from pics, swatched really well.

here's what i got:

Vintage Grape Ombre
Ripe Peach Ombre
Azalea Blossom Ombre
Stacked 1 Crushed Metal Pigment
Color 3 Palette (purples)
Electric Fuchsia l/g
Cha Cha l/g
Kumquat l/g
Lavender Wind l/g
Ember Glow l/g
Rose Maiden l/s
Very Violet e/s
Hot Hot Hot e/s
Straw Harvest e/s

I passed on the Springshine Ombre because it swatched like a bronzer on me and i've got tons of bronzers & MSF's. I'm gonna go back and get Bronzilla, Bubblegum and Fresh Salmon l/s.
