I agree about the ratings and grades being highly subjective. I ended up eventually buying the WW quads although I was initially hesistant to do it because of the poor reviews. But I have not experienced the chalkiness with most MAC e/s and I will never again let that deter me from buying a quad I want. I do like that C actually swatches the products on the lips but KS has the best swatches IMHO. I like how she puts them up side by side so they can be compared. And minimal comments, let the colors do the talking.
Enough about bloggers, however, I am wondering what Fall collection is going to be the show stopper (and I don't mean for MAC to repromote that one again). I guess I am in the minority who loved FF. I personally think it will be tough to top VV. I can leave off the glitter and ice one, that is going to be glitter bomb city if last years Champale is any indication. (although I still treasure IGNK).
We need some more paints, PP and fluidlines or better yet, how about some more Pearlglides? I love those babies.
