Mac Hipness blush and Marine Life highlight powder comparison photos and swatches

Since I've had some questions about how Hipness blush compares to others, I thought I'd post these photos I took comparing Hipness to Marine Life, Instant Chic blush and Ripe Peach blush ombre. Hope this helps in your blush purchasing decision! :)

My Mac Pret-A-Papier haul

Mac's new collection Pret-A-Papier has arrived in the UK last Thursday and of course I had to go and check it out for myself! :) I had ordered a few items online that I was sure I'd like and also picked up a couple more when I visited my local counter on Friday.

My haul included:

Instant Chic blush Made To Order lipstick Fold and Tuck lipglass Pret-A-Papier lipglass Tissueweight eyeshadow Cut to Fit eyeshadow

Here they all are:

I also picked up Love Nectar lustreglass as they had that displayed instead of C-Thru at my local counter, and I am a huge fan of Mac's lustreglasses (much much nicer than their lipglasses) and Love Nectar is such a gorgeous colour as well.

I didn't take pictures of the swatches, but there are plenty of them over on Specktra (http://www.specktra.net/) and of course Temptalia (http://www.temptalia.com/) as usual.

Let me know what you got from this collection!

To The Beach and Pret-A-Papier now available on maccosmetics.co.uk

3 whole weeks before the US release date Mac's summer collection titled To The Beach is now available on http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/! Also available is Pret-A-Papier a more nude and coral coloured collection. Both will go on sale at counters on Thursday.

I have already ordered some items including Marine Life highlighting powder that I've been waiting for since I first heard about the collection. I'm too mean to pay for faster shipping, so I'm going to have to wait until probably Friday to get my hands on them. I will also go to my nearest Mac counter to check the remaining items out in person.

What's on your wishlist?
