MAC Nudes & Metallics is a PRO only collection. So I was happy to find a pro store in my area to pick up a few items from this collection.
I picked up 3 lipsticks, 2 eye shadow and a blush:
Brazenly eye shadow
Exposed eye shadow
Show all lipstick
Dominate lipstick
Restrained lipstick
Stylish me Blush
I fell in love with the metallic side of the collection since the colors were more on the berry and purple side, but the nude side had some nice colors as well.

MAC recently released a collaboration collection that they did with Paramore's Hayley Williams. It is basically an all orange collection and I was a bit intimidated by such bright colors. However, I don't own a true orange, so I decided to take a chance.
I picked up the lipstick called "Sounds Like Noise" and "Daydreaming"eyeshadow.

As I love the eyeshadow, I only had to experiment with the lipstick. I tried it 3 ways: Sheer, full blast, and with a lipliner.

MAC recently released a collection catering to every makeup lovers sweet tooth!
I picked up 2 of the lipsticks and one paint pot.
The paint pot I chose was Eclair. Eclair is described as a light chocolate with gold pearl. It has very smooth application and I adore the color.
Lavender whip was the first lipstick I grabbed. It's described as a light cool lavender. I love this lipstick I was hoping it would have been a light purple but I love that it has more pink in it so it is much more wearable for everyone.
The last lipstick was Raspberry Swirl. It's described as a light white blue pink so I was really interested in giving this a try. Plus it's really pretty in the tube! It is a creamsheen and goes on smooth but it does leave a line of demarcation so be careful is blotting your lips.
MAC released the In Extra Dimension online April 11th and I was so excited as I missed it last year. This was a small haul for me seeing as I am unfamiliar with the products and wanted to try them out. I decided on Double Definition Skinfinish, Fiery Impact blush and Smokey Mauve eye shadow.

Double definition is described as a soft, shimmery gold/patina bronze
Fiery Impact is described as a burnt red bronze
Smokey Mauve is described as a midtone cool mauve
