I've been looking forward to this collection ever since i first heard about it on Specktra.net! :D And i'm happy to report that this looks even more beautiful in person than in pictures! So glad that the prints are actual prints on the items instead of stickers! *unlike koff Fafi kofff Dame Edna* Some of the stuff in this collection costs a little more than the usual items, but its well worth it! :D
Eyeshadows (US$14.50 / RM61):

Give Me Liberty of London (Matte) - Flat creamy pink.
Free to Be (Matte) - Creamy true coral.
Dame's Desire (Frost) - Frosty mid-tone reddish purple. This is a repromote from the Royal Tour Eye Trio of Dame Edna last year.
Bough Grey (Satin) - Mid-tone blueish grey.
Birds & Berries (Veluxe Pearl) - Frosted dark green blue.
All 5 shadows have beautiful texture and pigmentation, which i'm really pleased with!! And the different flower print on all 5 makes it all the more prettier! :D
Lipsticks (US$14.00 / RM66):

Peachstock (Satin) - Neutral peach. This is a permenant Pro product.
Ever Hip (Cremesheen) - Creamy light coral.
Blooming Lovely (Amplified) - Creamy greyed lilac mauve.
Petals & Peacocks (Amplified) - Creamy bright magenta pink.
I'm so glad that MAC decided to release pigmented lipsticks for the whole collection again (pretty sick of sheer lipsticks now! :P). All 4 lipsticks are quite pigmented, Ever Hip being the most sheer out of the lot.
Lipglasses (US$14.00 / RM66):

Frankly Fresh -Neutral pink beige with soft pearl.
Perennial High Style - Creamy bright pink coral.
English Accents - Creamy mid-tone blue pink.
A Different Groove - Deep purple brown with pearl.
Like the lipsticks, the lipglasses are quite pigmented this round too, and i really like the color variety! :D
Blushes (US$18.50 / RM79):

Prim & Proper (Matte) - Neutral nude.
Dirty Plum (Matte) - Sheer dark plum.
These two blushes are quite pigmented, so be careful to adopt a light hand when applying these! :D
Beauty Powder (US$18.50 / RM105):

Shell Pearl -Pale peach with gold pearl. I get the hype about this now! it kinda reminds me of my beloved Pearl Sunshine beauty powder from Barbie - beautifully soft yet pigmented!! :D Though originally from the Sundressing collection in 2006, this has been repromoted several times - most recently in last year's Graphic Garden.
Summer Rose - Soft violet pink with pearl. This is a repromoted from last year's A Rose Romance collection. This is definitely swatches better (and more pigmented) than last years! :)
Nail Lacquers (US$12.00 / RM42):

Two coats each.
Blue India (Cream) - Creamy dark green blue with pearl. What a unique color!!
Vestral White (Cream) - Creamy white. This goes on streaky!! This is a repromote from Hello Kitty! :)
So, what did i get? :D

I'm totally in love with the prints on the box!! Love!!

Out of the box - check out the pretty flower print inside the boxes!!

Open sesame! :D I got all 5 shadows, Ever Hip lippie, Perennial High Style lipglass, Prim & Proper blush and of course, Shell Pearl!! :D Ok, my bread and water diet starts now... :P
That's all for now! I have swatches from a couple other MAC collections coming up, so stay tuned! :D As for now, enjoy your weekend and take care!! XOXO!
thanks Jenn for the swatches! YOU ARE BACK baby!! I think this collection is quite cute, I have a lot of shades that I like, I like the matte blushes!
ReplyDeleteNice haul!! Birds and Berries looks sooooo pretty
ReplyDeleteFabulous haul!! You really make me want to get Shell Pearl now!
ReplyDeletei love your swatches all the times, so clear and nice ! nice haul, cant wait to see you try !
ReplyDeletepretty haul! love the packaging :) and you're back!
ReplyDeleteThe packaging look pretty but nothing really attracts me in this collection.
ReplyDeletethat's a HAUL!! :D
ReplyDeletei love this collection, my friend got me Ever Hip liptstick, can't wait to see her and try on!
thanks for the swatchs :)
ooh weet, that's a haul!
ReplyDeleteOnly Peachstock caught my eye but I can live without another nude lippy! the colors this time not so me. Maybe the summer collection...
How did you get the 2 matte eyeshadows to show up in the swatches? after seeing the swatches of the 2...my heart also starts stirring ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd that's really quite a haul!!!! :D
I don't feel like any thing looked super amazing for my skintone, which I think is close to yours. I ended up buying a lipglass in ember glow. If you don't have it, you should check it out:) It's a peachy color a bit stronger than 2n.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! I wouldve purchase the same exact things as you did. I also like peachstock lippie. :]
ReplyDeletebread and water diet..LOL!
LOL. Wow. That's quite a haul babe! I'm just a teensy curious about Ever Hip and Birds and Berries. I.have.to.stop.looking.at.blushers. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI like Perennial High Style lipglass too. Wow! That's some loot you've got. Can I ask what does Beauty powders do? Is it an all over powder like Benefit's boxes of dandelion/georgia...etc?
ReplyDeleteNikki: you're most welcome!! :D i may be back physically but my heart is still in bangkok!! Wahaha!! :D
ReplyDeleteDo check this collection out in person!! The packaging is really pretty!! :D
Stefanie: thanks!! Bird & Berries is my favourite eyeshadow from this collection too!! :D
ReplyDeleteLivia: Don't want to enable but Shell Pearl is gorgeous!! You should get it! :D
ReplyDeleteJessying: thanks so much for the kind words!! :D give me some time... i still don't have the heart to scratch their surface yet!! XD
ReplyDeleteNix: yes the prints of the compacts are gorgeous!! Love them loads!! :D
ReplyDeleteSlowbrogal: That's good news for your wallet aint it?? :D More moolah for Bangkok then!! :D
ReplyDeleteTINGkabelle CHAN: haha yeah i went abit crazy with the hauling =X Ever Hip is gorgeous... i'm sure you'll love it! So nice of your friend to get you this! :D
ReplyDeleteConnie: icic. Ditto! I wanted to get Peachstock at first, but those colors look dead on me, and 1 already have 2 corpse lipsticks so i skipped!! haha!! :P
ReplyDeleteVonvon: those 2 are applied neat without any base, so that speaks alot about their pigmentation! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D Didcha get anything from this collection? :D
PS: icic!! But thats money saved for you yeah? :D
ReplyDeleteI did try Ember Glow but its too orangey on me, so i didn't get it! :(
♥ Miss Nikka: Hi5!! Great minds think alike yeah? :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, only bread and water for me now... especially after this AND bangkok!! :P
Syen: haha well i haven't bought anything in awhile (yea rite!! :P) so i went crazy!! :P
ReplyDeletethose 2 are beautiful!! :D And GO GET THE BLUSHERS NOW!!! before they run out!! haha!! :P
Ivy: Yeah!! :D
ReplyDeleteYup the beauty powders are kinda like the Benefit box o powders! You can dust them all over your face for a subtle glow, and if they're pigmented enough they can double up as blush! :D
woah! so muchie u bought! and i am so lucky i didn't get the ARR summer rose since this texture is better! LOL. the lipglass u bought so pinky leh! they say creamy milky colour emphasize liplines? i think so >_< a different groove looks good hor, but i think better for the autumn/winter season though :P
ReplyDeleteaiyo. i oso on water & bread diet now. =_= i think i got one collection i need to buy, pret-a-papier i think. blush looks nice leh!
plue: ya!! But i'm still loving my ARR summer rose - the imprint is just too pretty!! :D
ReplyDeleteits more coral than pink lor! :D yup milky lipglosses might settle into lines, but with a lip primer should be ok la! :D
Oh dear, i totally forgotten about pret-a-papier!!! T_T
Managed to control myself this time, and got only Birds & Berries, Shell Pearl and the Medium makeup bag! :)
