I'm wearing Pink Popcorn here:



Can anyone do full face swatches of Pink Popcorn and Heroine?

Just for comparisons. I think Up the Amp is similiar as well on me, but its more vibrant. I didn't have it on hand to swatch.

L to R: Playtime, Dish it Up, Budding Love, Pink Popcorn.

It wasn't until I saw swatches of Modern Pewter foiled that I decided I wanted it. I think it could be a versatile shadow. It can work as an inner eye/ tear duct highlighter. Dry it can also work as a sheer wash of color on the lids if applied lightly. To me its a taupe with a slightly goldish undertone rather than the dirty olive gold that MAC would like you to believe it to be. It is a safe color but I would not call it boring. I would recommend it. If your collection is anything like mine you will find this color to be unique. Now Dark Dare foiled is an INSANE black. I think I will be picking it up on Thursday as well.

I'm definitely going back tomorrow. They are having a launch party at Pro tomorrow so I will attend that and I know I will be getting a few extra odds and ends that I passed up the first time. Like Cinestyle and Star Quality csg. While I'm there I will also grab a shadow or two from Extra Dimension. I really shouldn't since I will be attending IMATS in a week.

So I called my counter again today to put a Modern Mandarin on hold after they told me for the last three days they werent getting it until April 13th...and she had the nerve to tell me they were sold out! I really feel like the workers hoard stuff for themselves at this specific counter....but I will jump down off my soapbox.

BLAH :( so no pretty blush for me

That always happens to me. I never ever buy from a Mac counter except staples.no limited edition. They do take stuff for themselves.however I think it is unfair cause they could buy from pro site before all of us and give us more LE products at counters

It makes me so angry! My closet MAC store is like 50 minutes away...but I think I am going to start making that drive for certain LE items I really want just because I am so over them...I spend insane amounts at this counter and its irritating that you can be sold out of something before you even release it at a counter especially in the suburbs!

That sucks. You should call MAC's customer service and complain.

What did everyone think of the blushes??

Magenta is the only blush I liked out of everything that came out, including the Trés Cheek collection.

Trés Cheek was a huge let down :( It swatched much nicer on my arms than it did my face.. womp. I put up pics of everything on my blog.

I may get Magenta blush. I wanted to order Modern Mandarin online but got there too late and I'm not hearing too many good reviews on it for WOC. Someone said one of Tarte's blushes in a similar shade looks better on WOC and doesn't turn ashy the way MM can do.

I ordered Heroine lipstick and will pick it up from the post office tomorrow.

Kimbunney you look great! That lipstick looks really good on you. Did you wear a liner with it?
