Just made my order! Also chose overnight shipping. I figured what the hell since my list for this collection went down at least $100. Also got a few more stuff from the Bloggers collection.

OK so Christine made Gem of Roses a must have so that means I have to call my freaking counter again and put it on hold until I can get to the store and try it. I'll be mad if I like it on and it's sold out - and it will sell out at the counters just 'cuz she made it the must have. It's the only item on my maybes list. I knew she was going to do this. Ha! LOL! Dammit!

I've never tried VS makeup before! I'll be sure to check it out at the store next time I go =)
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

Strawberry Fizz is my favorite!
I've never tried their eye makeup, nor face makeup. I've always wanted to try their lip pencils too. But every time I go, I get distracted by the clothes & the underwear! LoL!

I bought bunches when they did the $10 off any purchase coupons. The colors are sexy fabulous shades. The concealer is really nice too. Eyeshadow are really pigmented. Well, I love everything I have ever bought. ;)

Wow! I just got in and Semi Precious is up. I think I'm going to stick to my resolve and buy it in the store on Thursday. Now whether I should try a pre-order is still up in the air. Maybe I'll call tomorrow and see if my store is taking pre-orders.

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!
Wow, I'm very shocked it sold out that fast!

I was going to skip this collection, but I ended up ordering 3 things: Gem of Roses, Rose Quartz, and Dark Indulgance. I am going to see if Dark Indulgance is the complex, smoky green shadow that I have been hunting for. I was hoping that Armani ETK or the new Chanel Shadows would have a color comparable to this, but I haven't seen one. Maybe I can get it to work with my water based MAC pro primer that someone was kind enough to give me.

I was going to wait to see this collection in the store, but my grandmother's 90th birthday is this week. So as you can imagine, my week will be filled with family & grandma related festivities (3 different family get togethers next weekend alone). I was worried that the products that I became interested in would sell out by next week.

About returning makeup... I usually keep everything that I purchase. I will, however, return products that cause an allergic reaction with my eyes or skin. I need to be cautious of most purple eye makeup for this reason.

Wooohooo. I saw this thread while I was at work on break, and I was terrified things were going to sell out before I could get home to order them. So I got home and ordered Gem Of Roses l/s and Rose Quartz MSF with a gift card my sister had just given me as a belated birthday present. But I was dumb and didn't read this thread first and used the code "TXT" and paid $5 for 2 day shipping. Then I saw that "Precious gave you free two day shipping" So I asked my fiancee pretty please could I borrow some money until I got paid on Thursday, and he said yes.... so I ordered Feeling Flush MB and Dark Indulgence MES and got overnight shipping for $5. Wahhhhooooo!! So excited!

I just placed my order on maccosmetics.com. I decided on only three things since I want to splurge more on the Fall collections. I bought Gem of Roses, One of a Kind and Hint of Sapphire. I really wanted Musky Amethyst, but the fact that it wasn't more on the purple side swaded me to not get it. There are so many purple lippies & paint pots coming out I will save my money for those.
