MAC Surf, Baby! Haul

MAC collections generally come out in stores on Thursdays, but this time it came out on Wednesday at certain MAC stores (not the counters).  I dropped into MAC on my lunch break and given it's a small store, it was packed, so I went past all the girls looking to swatch and try on makeup and headed to the register.  For collections, I pre-shop.  Here's what I picked up...

I picked up the Eyeshadow in Swell Baby (mid-tone gray, satin finish - $15.50), My Paradise Cheek Powder ($28), and Hibiscus Cremesheen Lipstick ($15.50).  Prices are a dollar more b/c of limited edition packaging.  I'm actually not a huge fan of the packaging.  The boxes are cute, but the white-ish gold containers aren't my thing.

Most likely to sell out: My Paradise Cheek powder. It has the gold over-spray similar to Marine Life last year (any MAC fan will remember that fiasco).  The powder is buildable to your desired liking.  But it looks so pretty I don't want to touch it!

Another that is likely to sell out quick: Hibiscus Lipstick.  MAC describes it as a bright orange coral, but I definitely get some red vibes as well from this (picture is probably showing it a bit darker than it is...stupid palm pre).  This is a limited edition color (but we all know MAC loves a good repromote).

Overall, I got what I wanted from the collection.  I always pass on the polishes b/c I'm not much of a nail polish person, especially at that price.  The lipglasses are fairly dupe-able and the bronzers didn't seem to want to be friends with my skintone.
