Haul: mac quite cute collection

Last thursday, I decided to go to the mac pro store in downtown Toronto to take a look at the new collection (to be launched April 7th 2011) because if you didn't know, the limited edition collections come out one week early at the pro stores ; anyways I decided to go because a week before that I saw this girl from the pro store wearing a very pretty lilac nail polish and she said it was from the up coming collection; I sure fell in love with it and didn't want to miss on it.

The collection (mostly) features pastel girly shades; the eye shadows were too sheer and the blushes just didn't do it for me, I'm still on a lip gloss ban and I had already set my mind to get 2 lip sticks and 1 nail polish and that was it; I actually stuck to it (so proud of myself, lol), this is what I got:

Nail polish in Little Girl Type it's a very light cool lilac colour, with a creamy finis; just too pretty to pass on it; I heard some people think it is similar to lilacism by Essie which I don't own but I looked at swatches online and Little Girl Type looks lighter. I am not a big fan of MAC's nail polishes formula and this is not the exception; it was a total pain to apply and get it to look even; I did 3 coats on all my nails and 4 on some of them, the nail polish was just too streaky and watery but I still love the colour.

Lipstick in Candy Yum Yum. Matte finish. I think it's the more wanted item in this collection, it's got all the attention on youtube and blogs and I really like it!! it's such a bright neon pink colour, no need to layer on to get it to be bright but you can still sheer it out by using a lip brush

Lipstick in Play Time. Cremesheen finish. It's a very pretty violet shade, kind of sheer but pigmented enough to show on the lips, it can also be layered on with a lip brush to go for a more pigmented lip.

While I was at the store I saw this other nail polish called Mischievous Mint, it was really pretty! I was told that it's lighter than Peppermint Patty (Hello Kitty Collection) and I actually wanted to get it but they were already sold out of it!!! in the very first day! I still applied 2 coats of it just to compare it to China Glaze For Audrey which I own and to show you the difference. For Audrey is darker and bluer, they both look very nice!! I heard there's one shade from Essie that's similar to Mischievous Mint, so I might have to check it out ;)

Since the Collection is being released tomorrow (Canada and US), what are you planning on getting?? or  will you just pass on this collection?
