I have been reading all about the three new MAC collections and have noticed a glaring omission in people's reviews.  No one is talking about the amazing brushes!!!  OK ... here are my hauls ...

Sonic Chic

 

As you know, I have a slight obsession with blush.  Why someone with rosacea is obsessed with blush is not a question I can answer without intense therapy.   But I love me some blush.  I have been loving the Beauty Powders Blush (MAC March 2008) and so I wasn't that thrilled to check out this collection.  Oooooo I was very wrong!  These blushes are beautiful and so versatile.  They are Mineralized Blushes and go on very lightly, but layer like crazy!  And if you have darker skin, or want a more intense blush, you can apply them wet.  If you have not found your holy grail blush, check these babies out!

I bought Pleasantry (Intense mid tone blue pink with gold pearl) and Warm Soul (Mid tone beige with gold pearl) which will be the perfect bronzer on pale girls. I put about 4 layers on in the pic so you could see them.  They layer well, but you can also use them for a hint of color. 

 

They have also released the 181 Small Buffer Brush which I have fallen 100% in love with.  It is tiny (check out the photo and the softest brush ever imaginable.  I wish I could pay someone to just swish the brush all over my face every day.  Not only is it soft, but it applies the blush like nobody's business!!  No hard lines, no need for blending, just all gorgeous blush all the time.  LOVE this brush.  This is a brush everyone would love to have in their collection!  (Yes, buy this brush, you will love it too)

 

New View

 

New View has a little gem hiding in it and I noticed it is not a limited edition, therefore a new brush!  I did not buy this brush because the SA promised she would call me if they were not going to get any more and I am trying to be on a budget for my big trip to the US of A next Friday.  But I will definitely be getting the 189 Face Brush!  "A uniquely shaped, rounded-paddle Face Brush with chiselled edges on each side for effortless placement and precise blending of product. An ideal tool for use in sculpting the face. Very soft synthetic bristles make it perfect for use on sensitive skins. May be used to apply all M·A·C Mineralize Skinfinish powders, M·A·C Powders, Cream Blush and Cream Colour Base."  This brush was divine and it took all of my power not to buy it.  It is as soft as butter and just beautiful.  It is thicker than a foundation brush and will be perfect for powder foundations.

The rest of the collection is nice if you are looking for a powder foundation/highlighter duo which I was not.  

Electro Flash

I bought three shadows, but the pics did not turn out well and it is too dark to take more, so I will post in this section tomorrow.  The shadows have beautiful consistency and layer well for bright, bright colors.  I bought Sea & Sky, Fresh Green Mix and Odd Couple.  All gorgeous all the time.  They are promoting the 227 Big Fluff brush with these, but I did not find it applied them well at all.  You can also use these wet for more intensity, but two layers is pretty intense, even for me.  I was so mezmerized by the shadows I totally forgot to check out the lip stuff - lol!

 

I also went to Sephora and bought Pop Cake Liner B introduced us too!  All shopped out, now going to rest :)

I can't wait until I get to the mall to check out these collections. I have a list of what I want, but I know it will expand. I haven't seen any of it in person, but from all the swatches I'm seeing out there, I have a feeling of what I want. I'm thinking Hot Contrast (I don't have a black e/s, and I just like the other side of it...), Polar Opposite, and maybe Odd Couple. Fresh Green Mix is interesting too, but I just love Juxt and Humid with all my heart, I don't know if I could buy other green shadows without hurting their feelings... Sea & Sky look really pretty too, but I don't know if I can really pull off that blue of an eye. Heck, they all are pretty, and I want all of them, but I know I can't get all of them. Of course, I want some lipstick and lipglass, and the MSF duo. I want a blush, but not sure of the color I want just yet. I also want to pick up Tropic Glow Slimshine from Cool Heat if they still have it. Good thing I got paid this week!
