I'm going to wait until I can see this stuff in person before I make any final decisions. Normally I'd just order it when it pops up on the website but I'm so unsure with this collection! As of right now I think I'm going to b2m for Gem of Roses and then buy Geo Pink and Blue Sheen. I have to be careful with money right now so hopefully nothing else sucks me in.

Don't forget that Selfridges will be selling MAC too, I haven't checked if it is up there yet but they have postage on top when you order from them.

Ugh! i can't decide on the MSF's I keep going back and forth on Rose Quartz. I can't tell if it is glittery or not. Some one help me. This should not be a major decision. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting pear, and crystal pink too. The people who have seen it what do you think? I feel like reviews have been mixed.

The ones you got swatched super well, so go for it. You deserve it!

I'm a true mineralize addict and will handpick my goodies on Thursday. No online ordering for me this time.

I've been debating about whether or not I should order online. You are helping me to lean toward waiting to purchase in-store on Thursday. The crazy thing is I have to summer off except for a conference I have to attend for work later this week. I can't get there when they open on Thursday but I'm good for later int he afternoon. I'm just don't want to stuff to sell out on me and have to run around from store to store. I hate that. But last time I ordered mineralize I got one with less veining that everyone likes but I ended up wanting another one with more veining. I went to the store but the SA said they were all the same (not!). She finally relented and let me look at all of them and I got the one that I wanted. I just don't know if the SAs will let me pick out the MES I want. I've also been wondering if the stores are doing pre-orders. Maybe I can go a day early and pre-order my stuff. Maybe it would be worth it to go to the Pro store and swatch everything. I hear some stuff is sold out but they probably still have the testers out. Decisions, decisions. . .

My go to counter is funny. I just called to put a couple of things on hold from this collection and the girl (not my regular MA) said that they didn't get much stuff in and they are not putting stuff on hold as much as they have in the past. She asked me what I'd like to put on hold and she'd let me know if she could do it for me. I only want two things so I told her Rose Quartz MSF and Smoked Ruby mes. She was like, "oh, that's it?! and I was like, "yep!" She said, "I can do that!!! Some people get greedy and from past collections it's been bad." She sounded too through and annoyed. LOL! I was like whoa! Are they cracking down now??? I just thought it was funny how she was venting. So it looks like if you're trying to put more than two of the same item on hold they will not be doing it anymore.

Anyway, I'm getting two things for sure...

rose quartz msf
smoked ruby e/s

I may get Gem of Roses l/s if I like it on myself. I'm not a fan of the finish, but I like that it's sheer, has color and I can wear it everyday w/o it being so bold as I usually am. I am in love with cremesheen glasses, but I'm on a lipgloss no buy because I don't use the ones I have much. And all of the cs glasses I have are LE and I don't want to run out so I wear them sometimes. And I'm not about to buy back ups at that price and not get much product. Anyway, that's it for me. Totally done with this collection.

Haha! Since when should MAC care who actually buys what and how much? I would have thought that they would want to sell everything, why would they complain if someone wanted to buy lots of a collection, surely that means it has gone down well...?

If they are cracking down I wouldn't be mad. I like when everyone can get what they want. People shouldn't have to stress it or refer to ebay for the outrageous high prices.

Just insist - politely - that you want to view the MES. After all, you are paying for them and you should get the product you want. I'd rather skip than taking one I don't really like.

I didn't find Rose Quartz to be glittery. CP is a bit glittery

Thank so much! I really appreciate the feedback, and the photo with the other msf's. I will probably end up with three of the msf's.
