Golden Bronzing Powder, Beach Bronze Cream Bronzer and Hipness Blush
Golden Bronzer
Hipness Blush
Beach Bronze Cream Bronzer
The item I was most excited about was the beach bronze cream bronzer, would it be a cheapo (in gross green packaging) dupe for my beloved and bloody expensive Chanel Bronze Universale?
Well there is a yes and a no. Yes it is a very similar colour and texture. No as it has a shedload of gold glitter and the Chanel does not.
Now unlike some I am not adverse to a bit of glitter, in the right context and will be happy to use this in the summer especially as it is a nice consistency and shade, probably more for the evening and for the shoulders, collarbone and to tan your arms if they are a bit pale.
Is this a perfect cheaper dupe for Chanel Bronze Universale? No. But I will let you be the judge yourself with some pictures.

On a side note this looks a bit like toffee...mmmmm
So are you getting anything from this collection or any other current Mac collections? And what do you think of the green and orange packaging? I can't stand green it makes me go eeeeeew!
I will announce the winner of the Shopbop.com giveaway tomorrow - good luck everyone!

This collection hasn't been realeased in Canada yet, which is bizarre
I've got my eye on the marine life highlighter (sold out online)

I had already got my eye on the Hipness blush, Firecracker e/s and Get-away bronze along with a few other things. HOWEVER, my list of things-to-buy from this collection changed drastically after watching Temptalia's video with swatches. I was planning to get a whole lot more things but not anymore. I will just stick with the blush/bronzer/eyeshadow trio. Lipsticks and lip glosses do not appeal to me AT ALL. Seahorse highlight powder was in my list BUT I also found out from Temptalia that it has a gold over spray and that's why it looks so shimmery. One sweep and the shimmer is gone. I like the green packaging but from up close it looks kind of tacky :/
I would have loved to see a swatch of the blusher. Am I right in thinking this is out in the UK today? I heard it had been put back a week, as was originally meant to be out last Thursday.
I'm unsure on this collection, I dont realy like the packaging at all & nothing really hits me like 'i need to buy it'
The things you got are lovely though. I think I need a swatchy swatch in store & see what takes my fancy xxx
I don't like the colour of the packaging but i like the feel of it. Yes the glitter is really upsetting me cos its a bloody nice product. *cries
I thought I was going to bypass this collection but I've seen some lovely things on blogs! the golden bronzer looks gorgeous xx
I only got one thing from this collection which was lazy day lipstick, i soooo wanna try the cream bronzers but keep seeing the glittery comments about it i think i might just stick to my Chanel xx
The packaging looks SO cheap, especially the green ones!!!
The bronzers looked intriguing, but I feel like the glitter would be a liittle too much for me...
I really wanna try out the Body Oil though...and maybe the blue eyeliner...and swatch Hipness blush in real life...ok, time to stop for now! :D

I don't like the packaging at all, and would only really consider one or two things from it, Hipness blush being one of them. Although I'm not that desperate - there are more things in Pret-a-papier I want, which is odd as I am not usually a neutrals person!
I brought hipness and it's gorgeous. I don't mind the packaging too much. I did want Goldem bronzer but would rather ave it in the original MAC packaging so skipped on it . Enjoy your goodies :) xx
Ahhh the cream bronzer lookes gorgeous as does the blush .. May have to get myself an order put in, I was unsure about the packaging at first, but I suppose it is quite summery and will look super cute in your handbag during the warmer months! :) xx
Nice Haul and good choice. I would take the same ;-)
I'm not that keen on the green packaging, but I really like the eyeliners with the seaweed design, and the orange lipsticks are really cute!
Chanel bronzer is cheaper! If you calculate price/gram, you will see =p And if you say that Chanel bronzer is better...
Great buyings ^^
It is lovely to start seeing swatches from this collection! I am over excited about To the Beach!
Thanks for swatching!
Hi! I've done a review on this collection, too. I got the two blushes and Marine Life (disappointing!). Many of the other products are re-promotes so I didn't bother. I actually love the packaging, I think it makes such a nice difference to the usual black.
