I bought a Gulabi too.. it's a colour I will use a lot and it's not all GAT fuschia -- there is a little more refinement in it. One of my testers rev 1 I think looked a tad reddish coral fuschia.. and I so loved it but production went ahead with Gulabi which is awesome too.

I also bought Yash and Mehr.. just cause I love all pink nudes.. and with my meaty lips these colours look kinda (underscore kinda) low key sexy.. lol

Correction - they must look DAYUM sexy!! lol

And Elegant, I think we have similar colouring so we'll probably love and hate the same things

I get Gulabi tomorrow when my package comes in, so I can give you updates and swatches!

Oh that's great news! Hopefully they'll be able to fill all of the backorders.
BTW, I have to agree...your new avatar is the cuteness! Just adorable.

Thank you, Meg!!!

I've been checking the order status ever since. It still says "backordered."

HerGreyness, "low key sexy" sounds nice!

Thanks for posting the list. I got the same list from Canadian customer service tonight. They had promised the list by yesterday, but had not heard back yet from head office.

I'm trying to ignore the talk about Sur blush being so lovely because a) it's sold out and b) I have Darkly My Dear and Prism which are kind of close.

I'm also trying to patiently wait for people to receive their hauls, and hoping for postings of pics of lips with Mehr and Gulabi before I even contemplate ordering them. I've always been a hands on girl when it comes to make up. I really need to see the swatches up close and personal. So many times over the past year I've fallen in love with a item from the promo pics only to find that it looked horrid on me, so it makes me very nervous to order things without getting to play with them first. Of course playing the waiting game I could miss out because they might sell out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

^^ I'll try to post lip swatches tomorrow night when I get mine!

All this talk about using Siahi as a base has inspired me - I hadn't even thought of that, I was so excited to use it as a liner! Now I'm envisioning using it in a look with Odalisque and Dandizette from Peacocky.... omg.... just might pass out.... I think I need Dandizette now too....

Fluidlines as bases are great. They are thinner than paintpots when on the eye but deposit a but load on color with just a tap of a 242 brush. I just used Rich Ground f/l the other day with Glamour Check on top of it.

 

[shontay07108]

Question because Siahi is my first fluidline: do they work on the waterline alone? Do I need a similar colored eyeliner to go with it?

 

[laylalovesmac]

I would post lip swatches of Mehr except that by the time I get mine, we'll probably all be done with this collection. lol

They hold fine for me. I use Blacktrack and Blue peep a lot on the waterline and they're fine! Not sure if u're supposed to but I do it anyway

It's funny, because I've bought several hot pinks in the last year or two- Show Orchid, Fusion Pink, Petals & Peacocks, Catharina- but I've never picked up either Full Fuschia or GAT, which are available all the time. Go figure. I'm still tempted by Gulabi and Yash, but I figure since things don't seem to be selling out nearly as fast on the Canadian site, I might have a second shot at these if further swatches/ reviews convince me that I really need them.

YESSSS! I'll def. want to know what you think of it when you get it doll

 

[elegant-one]

You know, I could be wrong, but I really think it will be deeper/redder & different enough on & special because its by MC too.

Nooooooooo!!!!!! You were the one keeping me strong!!!

Just kidding... I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to seeing your photos.

I have to thank you girls for feeding my addiction from afar. I havent posted on this thread yet but I'm so excited over this collection I can't help it! I ordered a lit bit after 11:45 Monday night and just received my shipping notice for Friday. I got Siahi, Mehr, Sur, Saffron, and Dalliance from Peacocky. I'm most excited to see Siahi in person because it's been nothing but beautiful online. Btw, is Yash sold out now too? Looking forward to seeing some pretty swatches tomorrow!

 

[RayannaBanana]

I bought Gana but I'll have to wait until next week to get it and do some swatches.

 

[laylalovesmac]

My order finally shipped and as I had predicted, I won't get it until Tuesday. Oh well.... At least I'm ending up with everything I ordered.

Thanks for the link! They are very helpful! Karen gave me the idea how to use the color correctors.

And I was
