And thats after like 6 swipes on each lip

Thanks, I am 1000% sure it wouldn't show up on me, so I really can't be too bummed about it. I just wanted to check it out in person. And I get so obsessive, so since its sold out on mac.com & in my local stores its kind of f*cking with me, lol

Honestly, i have Pleasureseeker & its pretty but doesn't show up hardly at all, but I just bought Missy slimshine & I like it a lot more. The new tendertone Honey Bare looks really pretty over Missy,

I think I read somewhere in this grotesquely-long thread that it's really rather strong and that someone's MA said that it should be used only once a week. Somehow I think it will burn the skin off my face if it's truly that strong.

Damn fickle bitchy skin. Finding an exfoliator that actually A.) works and B.) doesn't make me want to rip my skin off from the burning itching AGONY and C.) doesn't break me out and make me look like I've washed my face in xenomorph blood is goddamn near impossible. I'm using a hellish complicated combination of things right now...a tiny bit of Clinique's liquid facial soap for cleaning purposes, a microscopic bit of Peter Thomas Roth's Botanical Buffing Beads for scrubbing purposes and Fresh's Umbrian Clay mask as sort of a scrubbing cleanser. I know there's more; I just can't remember 'em right now.

Well... I guess if it sells out I'll be okay. I'd hate to fall in love with the shit only for MAC to discontinue it.

On a different note...god damn, Plasma Blu is already sold out! ...i wanted a backup....damn. First Naughty Nautical, now Plasma Blu! It be quite frustrating. And hopefully Electro will hold out in stock until I can buy one for my best friend, who's an orange-fiend.

I thought briefly about buying this scrub, but immediately came to my senses. Why make a SCRUB limited edition? Makes no sense to me, so I won't buy!

I DID get to see the tendertones & loved Pucker & Hush Hush & I am debating about buying those before the free shipping expires tonight. I already got Deep Sigh & Sweet & Nice and I love them. I think I'll definitely get Pucker, now that I really think about it

I'm going to buy it now

So i finally did a major haul for this collection! I got black ore solar bits, pink grapefruit, soft & slow, naked space, sunsonic, magnetic fields, & x-rocks! That was all from The Bay! From eBay i got bronzescape, sunpower, & scatterays solar bits, evening aura, time & space, & pleasureseeker! My counter was sold out of pleasureseeker! I still want to get femme fi (i'm going to B2M) and the other blush! I can't wait for all my packages to get in! I really like black ore & need some serious recs of other colours to use with it! I'm so in love with this collection! X-Rocks blush kinda reminds me of the Fab blush from Barbie with more of a hint of gold in it! Ok time for me to play now!

Oh and my counter was sold out of VAE but i think the store had it but i think i hauled enough for now. And when everybody said the packaging was really orange.....uummmm i wasn't expecting almost neon day-glo boxes!!! But i'm so in love right now that i don't care!!!! :P

Is pucker the color it looks in the pot? I haven't been wanting it because I don't want that color on my lips...but the swatches I see are like....a really pretty girly light pink...

I tried it last night and it feels really comfortable on my skin, but you can definitely feel the friction on the skin. I have oily skin so that's probably why it didn't dry me out. And it dried down to a nice matte finish, but one with dry skin may prefer a cleanser/exfoliator that dries to a more moisturized finish? I don't know. All you can really do is ask for a sample, and try it on your hand/neck and see how you like it.

Also, it is the morning after, and my skin is still matte and smooth. No break outs! Yay! And I'm surprised my skin isn't gross and oily because I'm in warm Oregon, lol.

Hmmm...friction usually doesn't bother my skin; it's usually whatever's in the scrub such as perfume/moisturizers/exotic chemicals and the like. And my made-of-FAIL skin acts up really badly in terms of moisturizers. I have yet to find a moisturizer that doesn't make my skin think it's suddenly caught an acute case of Ebola (even the Clinique moisturizer makes me react badly).

What sucks is that I can't get out of the house to go ask for a sample--I'm disabled and can't drive thanks to said stupid disability--so if I want to take a chance and try it I'm gonna have to go ahead and buy it.

I am glad that it didn't break you out. I'm down here in Texas (AKA the ninth layer of hell) so if if it didn't have an oily effect on you in Oregon, it probably wouldn't have an oily effect on me here. I hate it when a scrub does that to me. Not all of 'em do. MAC's old Microfine Refinisher used to do that to me, which sucked because my skin actually was able to tolerate it. I just spent the whole day swiping away oil from my cheeks. It was really rather annoying.

But! thank you for your input. I appreciate it. <3

Completely agree with this. Though I'm always on the lookout for a fantabulous scrub, the idea of making a skincare item limited edition is just insidious. I'm sure a great many people will end up loving this, so why make it LE? After all, once someone finds something they love, they'll repeatedly buy it. Lord. It's probably LE to make a largish profit rather fast. Smart, yet evil.
