I am most excited about the My Paradise Cheek Powder! I wanted it so badly when it came out, but I was unable to get it. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

I’m obviously extremely excited for all three products, but I’m the most excited for My Paradise cheek powder! The overlay looks so pretty, and I’m sure there’s a reason why it sold out like crazy. 😉

Honestly don’t know if I could decide which product I’m most excited for…all 3 are gorgeous, but maybe Virgin Isle, since I’ve recently started searching for that one.

Lately the product I’m most excited about is Maybelline’s Color Tattoo bases and Sephora + Pantone’s collab makeup collection featuring the color Tangerine Tango. The blushes look gorgeous and very summery!

Definitely My Paradise Cheek Powder!! There aren’t many MAC items that I totally regret not checking out (just because in my mind, there will always be something else that’s similar/better)-but this is one of them!

That cheek powder would make a wonderful multitasker – a bronzer, eyeshadow, and a blush! And that color? Wow! Nothing says summer like a peachy glowy hue.

dammmmmnnnn my paradise and parrot in the same giveaway :O thats a toughie but i would probably say parrot would be awesome to have but thats only cuz i’m not a huge fan of glitter overspray… but if there was no overspray, i’d say paradise would be most exciting :}

I’m excited to win all of the products because I haven’t tried Mac cosmetics before but if I have to pick 1 it would be the Mac My Paradise cheek powder. The color and design of the products are both beautiful.This is love. 😀 I really hope I win 😀 Fingers crossed

I’m most excited about the My Paradise cheek powder. I was thinking about getting a orange-y cheek powder for the summer. I think it will look so pretty with a little summer tan.

I’m exited about Parrot e/s. I never got it when it was a really big hype a couple of years ago and it has never been re-promoted since.

I’m so excited for all three but especially Virgin Isle. I never have the best luck with contests but i’m really hoping to win this one.

I love to get my hands on all of them.. nice summery colours <3 I totally missed out on My paradise.. Love that your doing this 🙂 Thanks! Have a lovely day!

hmm.. well I don’t have any coral or orange blushes, but that CCB seems perfect too. Can I say all three? I guess Virgin Isle, if I’m forced to choose. Thanks for another awesome giveaway Christine!

I’d love to have the Parrot e/s- I can’t get enough of colours on the blue/turquoise/aquamarine end of the spectrum! They look great for an icy look in winter, but they also look great with a summer bronze!

I would absolutely love to have My Paradise Cheek Powder for spring and summer since it just looks like the perfect peach/orange color! 🙂

I would be most excited about the Virgin Isle CCB. This is another one that I’m sure I skipped because a) cream blushes scare me a bit, mainly because I don’t think I will use them correctly and end up looking weird, and b) coral/orange colors scare me, some just look AWFUL on me even though I’m so drawn to them because they are so bright and fun! =/ But I just went back and read your post about this one… I think it might actually look better on my cheeks than I think! Though I couldn’t pull it off on my lips! =)

I actually had a quick question too if you have a sec. When I was reading the post on the CCB’s you mentioned MAC had just released a metal spatula tool for working with creams, etc. Is that still something they offer? or was it LE? or D/C’ed? I didn’t realize they had one.

Thanks Christine! =)

I’m excited for Virgin Isle. It’s such a gorgeous shade and I have yet to try any of MAC’s creme colour bases. So pretty!!

MAC Paradise!!! I went in to buy it at my local MAC the day it debuted and another woman got the last one right as I was walking in the door:( I have kicked myself ever since!

Definitely most excited for My Paradise Cheek Powder, it sold out before I had a chance to get it 🙁 Such a pretty colour and not to mention nice to look at.

My paradise!!!!!!! I’ve wanted this forever.. I went on a hunt for this when it first came out driving to every macy’s in the greater Chicago area without luck. I would love to win this!

Parrot Eyeshadow!
Will never forget the first time I saw it. I must of stared at my friend all night. She promised to let me borrow it however, misplaced it before I could get my hands on it. Been waiting for M.A.C. to take pity on me ever since.

I want the My Paradise Cheek Powder so badly…I don’t live anywhere near a MAC store, and by the name I got someone to check one for me, they were all sold out!

MAC Virgin Isle CCB all because of that girl, Leilani or Lani or something like that, who used to post to the mac_cosmetics LJ community around the same time that you did, Christine. Do you remember her? Her username icon was her Virgin Isle CCB on her lips. She sold me on this product, but I never had the confidence to buy it!
