This summer collection definitely got my attention (ok who am i kidding - ALL limited edition packaging do!)! :D

*ahem* The 3 green shadows are coming home with me for sure, as well as Get Away Bronze and the absolutely gorgeous highlight powder. Maybe one lipstick and lipglass each for collection's sake! :D

What's on your list? Are you as excited as i am for this collection, or are not not impressed at all? Spill! :D
