Just got my 2 b/u for Purring and one Hush, Hush from Nordstrom today. I can't believe I didn't check out Hush, Hush before--so pretty and sparkly!!

And today I got a nice 'Thank you for buying Shop/Cook MAC' from my favorite MUA at my MAC store. I love getting those notes! I keep them all.

I just watched dustyohunter do a look using the Shop Drop and Call Me Bubbles quads (watch right to the end, as he changes the look a bit and it's even better) and he thinks that 'Full Of Flavour' eyeshadow looks very much like Marine Life when used as a blush. Might be worth a try for those of you that have it

I was out of the country when this collection came out and I had put a lot of things on hold because I didn't want a repeat of IP collection and was also afraid that they wouldn't hold all the things I wanted but my MUA was so sweet and had a huge bag on the side for me I got back to the states on wed and went to pick up my goodies on thurdays. She told me that all the l/s sold out within 2 days and I was so glad I had mine on hold. I'm so excited to play around with my stuff today and I'm in love with all these bright l/s

I was planning on waiting for this to come online at Mac, but when the selfridges website restocked I couldn't resist any longer. Although it was a little traumatic as I managed to pop watch me simmer and quick sizzle in my basket but when I went to pay they were out of stock, so I had to keep checking back. In the end I got them, and paid for postage (shame on you for being expensive selfridges) but this time I was willing as I missed out on th IA lipsticks I'm considering a quad or two but will wait until mac puts the collection up Can't wait for my bright lipsticks to show up :)

I got to try Watch Me Simmer and wow... Such a lovely colour that looked sooooooooooo awful on me. It was almost funny. It seemed to go on kind of unevenly, although that might have just been that I applied it kind of quickly, but it looked just hideous on me. So I feel like I freed up a WMS to go to a good home by not buying one.

Here's a couple of pics of the Shop & Drop and Call Me Bubbles quad in action:



Dom is a big fan of orange/ gold eye shadow colours, so he really went for CMB in a big way. He commented on how nice it was before I even mentioned it was new. I did find that I had to added a touch of dark brown on the outer corner to deepen it a bit.
Wow, I was going to send back CMB because I'm so pale and didn't know how those colors would work on me, but this looks fantastic on you! I'm going to need lipliner to tone down WMS. It needs something -- either warmth or cool to make it look right now me. Both of these looks are fantastic on you. I really like CMB on you with that red lippie. Is that Runaway Red or some other color? I have RR from the previous collection.

Thanks for sharing the photos. :)

I wore Dish It Up today, and it was a lot more purple than I initially thought (which is a very good thing). In addition, I am loving the lustre formula it has- the newer lustres lately have been very amplified creme like. If there weren't so many purple lippies coming out in the next few collections, I would've backed Dish It Up up!

Swung by a MAC counter today to pick up Cinderfella MES (which is ZOMFG!!) and the last Dish It Up lippie they had came home with me. I still have another scheduled to ship from Nordstrom on Monday but this color is so nice I wanted a b/u.

I stopped by my Nordstrom MAC counter today to check things out. I swatched Enchantee and fell in love with it! Unfortunately it was sold out :( but I found it on the Dillard's website, so yay for that! It looks just like the Gaga lipglass, but it's a smidge warmer, which is exactly what I needed. Gaga washes me out. Now I am officially done with this collection lol. Oy. Time to save up for the So Reel!

Call Me Bubbles Quad is amazing!!! Layering Full Of Flavour with Fresh Daily and mixing it with Off The Page e/s is what made it so awesome!

I'm still anxiously awaiting a restock. Somehow Color Added, Tread Gently, Purring, Naughty Saute, and Watch Me Simmer have made their way onto my list. The tendertones are just too awesome to resist! This collection has really helped me to go outside of my normal color choices, and I'm glad it has!

My wallet, however, is not so happy.

oh my these tendertones. I tried one just on the safe side,then immediately went and BU that one and bought another shade. Now I want to go and BU the other shade but I am so afraid of going to mac cause i do not want to buy another and eventually BU all of them. OH MY GOD I must be crazy!

They're amazing! My only willpower is avoiding backing them up! I would, but I know that it'll take me forever to get through one lip balm, so having one of each should be enough for a while...or so I'm telling myself to save money.

So last night I open my Watch Me Simmer for the first time. I NEVER tried in on in the store, I just bought it from the internet buzz (hahaha... same with Runaway Red... I have no idea what it's going to look like on me). I also pulled out my new Undercurrent Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner from the "Vera" collection. I brushed my teeth and washed my face as usual before going to bed. I brushed my teeth and washed my face this morning as well. Man there was STILL glitter around my eyes from the eyeliner and my lips were STILL stained pink from the WMS... lol!!!

I had that "walk of shame" look AFTER my morning routine. HAHAH! Anyway here's me in WMS and Undercurrent.
