Is anyone else disappointed that there wasn't a purple mes from this coll? I am a purple nut, but realized I really don't have that many purple shadows.

What about Rare Find? The one I picked up was almost all purple veining. It's a beautiful shade, but one of those ones that needs to be foiled imo.

Clarity and Rare Find over Count your assets is a great smoky purple. The deep purple like SR and GG was in the Villians MES. Now that is a dark, sparkly purple!

Well...I called a few stores and got my Clarity! While I was at it I also got Blue Sheen and Hint of Sapphire. Now that was NOT supposed to happen lol. The lady told me my blue sheen has quite a bit of yellow veining and my other two were quite veiny too. Had to call another state but I got them

I called a local Mac counter for the 235 brush. They told me they had one left, so I told them to hold it for me. I drove all the way down there, all chipper & jolly, just to find out that they couldn't find my hold...No 235 for me I guess

Nordstrom.com, Macys.com, Bloomingdales.com and Dillards.com have the 235. Also Dillards still has 7 shadow colors left including Smoked Ruby, Rare Find, and HOS. So if anyone is looking...these places still have some stock. Most of them still have some MSFs left too.

I understand what you mean. I don't wear these shadows when I am in a rush generally. But equally they don't take a silly amount of time... but I understand there are extra steps there you don't usually do.

NARS Mini Multiples – small in size but big in impact - todays specktra blog post :)
The time saving factor for me is that one pan gives me mid, dark and highlight all in one (at least the ones with lots of veining

). I think I fumble around and take longer when I'm trying to mix and match a variety of different shadows of different origins in one look.

What pleased me was to see this collection also revitalize the sales of Big Bounce shadows - another seriously under-appreciated product this year. I don't think it's going to stop people from following what the bloggers decree, but I can't imagine that even the biggest makeup blogs impact more than 20% of the total customers for MAC.

I'm thrilled you found another Clarity. And I'm anxious to hear your latest story from your JF hunt. Are you hoping for a particular veining?

FYI - Gem of Roses l/s appears to be available again on the MAC web site. I sometimes go poking around in older collections to see what's still available and GoR is no longer listed as Sold Out.

I already have a backup of it but I thought some of you who may have missed it the first time might be interested.
