But since I can't try or pre-order this collection early, I know that I will be at the counter when the store opens and I will have my shopping list already programmed into my phone. I have been looking at the lip and nail products ever since I first saw the promotional pictures of the collection and one of the lipsticks is one my top color choices for spring. The face powders in this collection are based on cupcakes and I have loved cupcakes for years so this is actually what drew my attention to the collection to begin with.
The Nordstrom website states a description of the collection, the MAC website is failing at the moment so I will work with Nordstrom until MAC comes back up. "Exquisite. Scrumptious. Utterly indulgent. The artistry of cake decoration is a world filled with tempting creation, as is our colour collection inspired by the most couture of cakes." This has the potential to be one of those collections that I buy tons of products of just because I am in love with the packaging and the concept!

I am still holding to my earlier thoughts that I would love the lip and nail products the most from this collection, I would have liked to see MAC do some type of eye shadow palette with this collection and I am surprised that only new shades in one product was released. I do like the Paint Pot shades that came out with this collection, my most coveted shades from this product are Let's Skate and Mooncake. I have adding pinks and neutrals to my collection all spring and these are two more that I would like to buy.
My favorite product is the Lipstick, I always want new pink hues and Raspberry Swirl will be coming home with me the next time that I visit the counter. I have been using my newest pink lipstick from MAC at least twice a week since I bought it and with the purchase of this product, I would have yet another one to work with. I have never used the Mineralize Tinted Lip Balm and I have never really read any good reviews of it, the consensus of the product reviews is that it basically is a lip balm with a little bit of shimmer and little to no pigment when applied to the lips. I will hunt up several reviews and see if this holds true for this version of the product, I do like the Cheery Cherry shade of pink and I would purchase it is the reviews are favorable. I like the Pearlmatte Face Powders but this is another product that I really want to see in person and read reviews of before I purchase it, especially with the veins of blues and greens in the products. If I purchase one of these from the counter, I will report back but these products are often the prettiest on the counter but the lowest on quality. Lastly, I would like several of the Nail Lacquers; Pistachio Creme and Bleu Velvet are the most unique and I want to add both of these to my collection.
I am also really excited about the brushes that were released with this collection, I don't need either of these brushes but I love the aqua shade. I would be more likely to buy the powder brush since I am looking for a new fluffy brush to use with loose powder and bronzer. This is a great collection for me and I can't wait to do some shopping this weekend!
