MAC - Semi Precious Discussion

The Chanel shadows are wonderful! Definately get the Chanel! I bought several of the Chanel shadows (even though they are rather pricey) and havn't regretted it a bit. You get great color payoff with applying very little product. You don't have to worry about wetting a brush, patting the shadow on just right, fallout, etc. Even though they are expensive, they will last forever.

I keep going back and forth between buying Mineral Mode or wait and rather get Chanel's Illusion D'Ombre Emerveille, when that comes out in August here. When I compare the swatches on Temptalia they're close, I asked her like a week ago about those two but she never approved my comment. I know they're not dupes, but close enough for me to just get one, I'm just wondering what would be the better purchase, because they're obviously different in texture and Chanel is more expensive.

@urbansweetheart- most def :) what did you end up with?
I just ordered Gem of Roses, but I'm going to be picking up Blue Sheen, Golden Gaze, & Smoked Ruby in store =)
when I get to the store, I'll check on the blushes& brushes. I might need a back up of Gem of Roses....

Oh, speaking of mineral blushes - Victoria's Secret just got several new GORGEOUS mineral duo blushes. $14 They are very finely milled subtle pearly glowy. I am a huge fan of VS makeup

ok so i ended up with

lush amber lipstick x2
natural flare cremesheen
Pressed Amber (was originally going to skip since i heard it was similar to the soft meow which i really like and own, but then on temptalias swatch gallery i put them side by side and pressed amber looked darker and richer and since i do get darker in the summer i think this might be a winner!)

It's crazy how quickly BO sold, but then again, we don't know the quantities they put out there.

Only 3 things are gone from BO, right? Just JW, HP and AMPL. Hopefully, they will be back for those who missed out. I was lucky enough to get everything I wanted. I almost bought Natural Flare, but I only do neutrals or natural colors occasionally and I have enough of those for that reason. It's funny that people aren't really going nuts for this collection anymore. Even though I don't do the mineralized thing, I sometimes drool over them. Not with this collection, though. I don't feel like I'm missing a thing.

Well, my decision to skip this collection was just given a healthy dose of resolve, considering Gem of Roses l/s is already sold out on the Canadian site! It was the one thing I felt like I might regret missing...

I could always just attempt to get it at my local counter on Thursday, but I'll be picking up my twin sister (who I haven't seen in almost a year!!!) from the airport, so stressing over a lipstick is the last thing I want to be doing right now!

so disappointed in the blushes according to everything i read...pressed amber and warmth of coral are not very pigmented and would not even show up on me. i LOVE coral/peachy blushes too. :/ disappointed.

@panther- usually on the release date...but with QC they came out on their site early. should be up by the 7th though
