I also do my make up 2-3 times per week lol but I can always justify buying a nice neutral shadow

ahahah don't worry :p I think it's only a different way of thinking, I try to buy only things that are different each other because I don't use make up so much (2/3 times a week??) to justify having similar colors ;)

Dang it, this thread is enabling me to get Seaside CCB and now Prince Noir? WTH. I have a ton of dark lippies that gets no love and the CCB crease like crazy on me, so I am trying to resist but these are getting close to lemming intensity. Does it confirm my addiction if I am considering dying my hair darker so I can get more wear out of these dark lipsticks?

I caved & added Cakeshop and Butternutty to my last order, even though shadesticks usually drag across my eyelid and make me worried I am gonna bust a blood vessel. These colors are too pretty to resist. At least they don't crease!

A couple of fun Mac Me Over ideas:

'Did an eye look with Jade's Fortune MES on the lids and Evil Eye in the crease, under the eye and winged out in the outer corners. Palace Pedigreed in the tear duct area and Dark Diversion liner on upper lid. Great deep khaki look. I've been wearing this a lot with Runaway Red, Prince Noir, and Deliciously Forbidden and Seeds of Desire mattenes (would look great with Legendary, Potent Fig and even Rare Exotic too - also going to try it without the Palace Pedigreed but with a little Spellcaster along with Toxic Tale!)

Today, I used the excess Dark Diversion on my 210 to subtly feather into my eyebrows - now this is a really great look with my brows, which already are very dark, but not jet black. I let them grow in this past year and I use just enough Dark Diversion to give a little definition. The color blends in really great, giving a look that's softer than a black eye pencil, but still more dramatic than a brown pencil. If you have black or very dark brown hair, this is pretty awesome - I have feeling I'll be using DD for my brows more than as an eye liner......now I'm sorry I didn't back it up.

I've been enjoying the Evil Eye quad very much. Spellcaster looks fantastic over Imaginary p/p. Evil Eye is a perfect matte to wear with vampy reds, purples and browns, as well as with bright berry, pinks, corals and orange - it's got a strong look without being heavy or dark. Very unique color/texture combo for the fall. I tried Moody over Dangerous Cuvee p/p and that was really hot. Palace Pedigreed is interesting when used where you'd normally use a light frosty highlight, and is also really nice built up in combination with quite a few of the Semi-Precious MES and all the purplish p/p from Posh Paradise. I'm not a MAC quad collector in the slightest, but I sprung for this one and am very pleased - great combo of colors for green eyes, black hair and pale skin.

you don't even see the color - it just provides depth (i applied it very sparingly though, and avoided the edges where the color might be obvious). Definitely try it though - i loved the results!

I was shocked to see one of my counters tonight still had Avenue. You may still be able to find a counter with it still available.

Outre is my go-to blending color. Yesterday i wore texture on the lids, bronze On the outer corners and crease and blended the harsh lines with outre. Im thinking about backin it up but idk yet cuz i have double feature 4 and its almost the same. Once im done with them im screwed tho. Maybe mac will bring them back in the future

I went and looked at this at the counter last night and I ended up getting Creamy Bisque. I skipped on Carbonized because they were sold out and I didn't think it was all that unique with all the browns and taupes from Styledriven and a Hocus Pocus on the way.

I loved 2 of the lippies--Oh Oh Oh and Offshoot, both sold out to my dismay. I regret not geting Offshoot especially since it is my kind of mauved pink and Cremesheen formula which I really dig.

I just wasn't that drawn to Evil Eye quad, which stumps me. I like all the colors but it seems I can dupe them other places and I really like my quads to be workable together, which to me is the point of the quad format. Individually, I like all the colors, but I feel like they are not really gonna be used together. I almost always have to get a separate crease color, there never seems to be one in any quad that works. So, I skipped it. If anyone feels any of the individual colors are unique, please enable me to be the quad hoor that I usually am, cuz I am skipping for now.

I really liked Seaside CCB but ended up skipping it because I know the crease of doom will ultimately limit my product use. If not for that, this was such a lovely color with tiny glittery bits. I am trying so hard to resist it!

And, I was so happy they had one left of Dark Diversion PP. So I bought my one and only back up ever of a FL, because DD is HG status for me.

So, in all, I (previously) got Dark Envy, Avenue and Midnight Blues FL
Moleskin and Outre e/s
Lady Grey quad
Cakeshop and Butternutty shade sticks (cuz I can deal the the dragging across the lid a lot easier than creasing from hell)

and I just added a Dark Diversion FL back up (had the one from the prior release collection) & Creamy Bisque e/s.

I think I am done with this collection unless I can find those 2 lippies for sale or swap somewhere else.
