Guess what I was doing at half eight last Thursday morning?
Like some other hardcore macaholics I was on Selfridges.com filling up my virtual shopping basket with Wonder Woman goodies.
I'm not comic crazy nor have I been a big fan of Mac's most recent collections but a few bits from WW had to be mine.
Although I haven't had time to properly review my latest acquisitions I thought some swatches would be useful if your waiting for the release on the first Thursday in March.
Like with most collaboration collections there are always different opinions on the design of the packaging, a lot of people may not be fans of WW but personally I like it, it's fun, different and fits the theme.
You've probably already guessed what I purchased as I am a little predictable when it comes to colours but I'll tell you anyway.
First on my list is the gigantic new MSF in Pink Power.
I knew that some things would be bigger that usual and more expensive but seriously the new Mineralized Skinfinishes are HUGE.
They're a massive 20g in size making them twice as big as the usual MSF's which actually makes them pretty good value for money at £28.
Pink Power is beautiful, my favourite thing in the whole collection by far.
It is made up of three shades, a soft peachy gold highlight, matte natural toned bronze and a rose gold highlight which are all really pigmented.
I really like how all the shades are separate and the super sized product makes it so much easier to be able to apply them individually or swirled together which makes a really natural peach bronze.
The size makes it easier to use as a body bronzer too which I did this morning using my giant Illamasqua Kabuki and it looked lovely, giving a natural bronzed glow.
The next item was a bit of an unnecessary purchase but when I couldn't get hold of the blush I wanted I popped Emancipation in my basket.
Again the new lipglosses have been super sized and although I like the fact the MSF's are bigger, making a lipgloss this big is a bit ridiculous.
10.5g compared to the usual 4.8g.
Look at the doe foot applicator next to a regular Mac lipgloss!!
The giantness of it makes getting the product out quite tricky, you have to pull pretty hard to get the wand through the stopper and when it does come out lipgloss flies everywhere, not good!
Anyway apart from that design flaw the colour is actually really nice, Emancipation is a baby pink with a slight hint of peach and some subtle shimmer running through it.
Formula wise it has the same old slightly sticky formula and same old Vanilla scent as usual Mac lipglasses.
Although I like Emancipation I have never finished a normal lipglass half the size so I doubt I'll ever get through this mega tube so all in all I'm not sure it was a great purchase for £17.
Last but not least the item that I coveted the most from WW, the duo blush in Mighty Aphrodite.
I knew this would be the Sell Out item from the collection but I hadn't banked on it going quite so fast, half eight and it was already gone.
But Twitter was a lifesaver and a lovely blogger offered to grab me one from the store so I wouldn't miss out.
Mighty Aphrodite is split into two sections, a pinky peach with a soft gold sheen and a small area of hot pink.
Colour payoff is mixed on this blush, the larger section is pretty pigmented while the smaller, bright colour is very hard to get off.
Personally this isn't a problem for me as I don't want clown cheeks and the softer shade is much more wearable.
Swirled together it gives a pretty but not massively unique soft rose shade.
Overall if your on a budget Pink Power is the stand out product for me, great value for money, really nice quality MSF with three gorgeous shades.
Hope this helped if your considering a Wonder Woman haul next week.
Check back later tonight to be in with a chance of winning one of these LE products that I picked up at the weekend for a lucky reader.

My collection was getting so overwhelming that I'd literally suffer from a panic attack every time I did my face so yesterday a good friend inspired me to create a new streamline collection (above).
