What a haul, hahah. Did you order several rounds or all in on go. I always end up make multiple orders as three or four smaller amounts seems less damage than one big order ---> I call it "MAC spending denial," LOL.

Ok so I call my fave counter this morning and my MA picks up the phone (god bless his soul...I love him) told me that he couldn't find the stuff I put on hold. What? He asked me if I called them or Bloomies and I said them. He said she probably put it upstairs or something...upstairs where?! She didn't put anything on hold for me --- grrrrrrrrrrrrr. But he took down everything I wanted plus that damned must have lipstick and told me not to worry because they have A LOT of the Sem-Precious stuff. Oh really!
I told him what the chick I talked to yesterday said about people being greedy and she'd see if she could put things on hold or not depending on what I wanted to put on hold. Asked him if they were cracking down on the ebayers. My MA said no and that some people like to make up their own rules; next time ask to speak to someone else if he's not there because that chick is on crack. LOL! Counter drama. I love counter drama.
Anyway, so I'm set. I will try on Gem of Roses first before I buy to make sure it's the nude I'm looking for. This color will be a nude with some color in it for me since my lips are pigmented and I'm a NC50 girl.

Right well after all the drama, I finally have my dispatch e-mail! One MES isn't available though, probably Unsurpassable. Oh well, will pick it up at the counter if nothing else.
Wow, that's an even bigger order than mine as I didn't get any brushes or lipsticks! Hahaha, I always hope my mail/deliveries come when mine isn't at home, so I can hide them asap.

Hey ladies! I'm still on the fence about the brushes! I'm eyeing the 234 most likely but I'm not sure if it' s a must have. Temptalia seemed to not be super impressed and I wanted to know what u ladies think. Is it a nice brush? is it weird to use it on it's side (since we usually use the top of the brush)? TIA!

Total of 3 orders. Once I say, "That's it", I end up wanting something else! I had saved some of my tax return for this, but the hubs didn't know what I was saving it for. I don't think he'd understand, but after just having a baby, he can suck it if he wants to complain about it. My body looks like crap from having her, so if some makeup makes me feel a little prettier, then to me, it's money well spent!

I know everyone is thinking about the Fall Collections but I'm still really excited about this one. I really like the mineralize products. In fact, the collection of all mineralize blushes is one of my favorites. I bought all except one. I don't have as many mineralize eye shadows so I'm most excited about those. I prefer to make a big order rather than a bunch of small ones. I think I end up spending more that way. I'm not planning to get any of the MB this time around because I have similar colors already. I have tons of peaches (Peaches, Ripe Peach, and more). I have quite a few neutral brown shades (Eversun, Enough Said, Springshine). I have a few of those 3 drawer organizers for my makeup and my eyeshadow, blush and MSF drawers are overflowing. I'm hoping to just get one MSF but I'm a sucker for those too. So right now I'm trying to figure out which MES to get. I keep changing my mind and adding a few. I just hope I don't get a few and then end up wishing I had bought more. I bought a few of the Mega Metals and I now wish I had bought more.
I hope someone will compare the new MSF to the old ones to see which ones are unique.

That's good to know. Maybe all the counters and stores have a lot so I don't have to worry.

yes it is for cheeks^^ but I use sunny by nature only on cheeks indeed. Also Christne says this can be used for foundation... I'll try but I'm happy with my little 188 for foundation (although it stinks a bit O___o) uhhh these brushes after wash have a normal/good smell... why my 188 stinks?? it is really a skunk !!!

I will try out the 128 for the blushes, though I will stick with the 190 for foundation. Don't change a winning horse
Try to wash your 188 with a different shampoo or change the brush cleanser. Is it quite new? I never had any problems with yucky-odor-brushes. Hopefully, you can get rid of the smell.

I found an article on the uses for the brushes. Maybe it's helpful http://rougedeluxe.blogspot.com/2011/07/mac-semi-precious.html
I still don't know if i want some brushes. I thought i was able to skip, but i'm starting to want them again.

Gem of Roses is already sold out on the Canadian site? Is that right? How did that happen? Was there a lot of buzz for this that I wasn't aware of? (Sorry; that's a lot of questions!)
Still deciding on the rest. The main thing that interests me is the brushes; thinking about the large kabuki and the eye blending brush. I might also pick up and eyeshadow and possibly a mineralize blush and/or skin finish. I don't want to place my order unless I can get the lipstick though, or at least know for certain it wont come back up on the site!

^^I think it's been out in the Pro stores since last week.
I had to forgo getting anything from this collection in favor of some Hello Kitty Vans. Hope everyone loves what they got or will be getting later on this week.
