Thanks i had a lot of fun! Also i went to the pro store as well and i found the 184 duo fiber fan brush. I thought it was discontinued, but they still had it! I'm not sure what i can use it with, but i was thinking about the naturally blushes and maybe it's nice with bronzer of highlighter. Any input on this is appreciated:) I also got refills for Juxt and Coral e/s. I know Juxt is discontinued and i think Coral as well, so i'm glad i could get both of those too.
I hope you get your order soon!

The 184 is nice for highlights or blush you want to apply very delicately. It gives a light wash of colour. I know there are also people who use it for light contouring. I do not reach for it very often. Every now and then. It's nice to have though. The 165 on the other hand I use daily.

I love the "antique" effect that you get with OG. I find OG quite easy to work with (I assume that the HS OG performs similar to the regular OG).

For those who are into antique shades, OG is a must-buy.

If you are deciding between OG and Barefoot, I think OG wins because it is just so gorgeous and dimensional. They look different enough to justify both and its nice to have a gold in the pan if you don't have one already.

I've had OG on my wish list for forever. I think I'll get Barefoot now (easier to work with) and get OG in June when I don't have much on my list.

Thanks everyone.

I went to the MAC counter today and asked about Jaunty e/s since it was the only thing missing (as far as I could tell!) from the display but the MUA had never heard of it and they didn't have any in stock! Weird... guess I'll just have to order online, but now I won't get my things for another few days :/

Also, here's a review of Salute! if anyone's interested

I just got back from amsterdam. The stripes in Crew are NOT an overspray. The MA could confirm it because she asked it at her update. Also some parts of the tester were flat already and still showed the same stripes. Yeah for mac not doing overspray again! The goodies that came home with me are: -both blushes -Crew -Sun Dipped pro longwear bronzer -Jaunty and Feeling Fresh e/s -Emerald Sea e/p -Shore Leave l/l -To Catch a Sailor and Sail La Vie l/s -Blessedly Rich and Riviera Life l/g I also asked about the difference between the pro longwear and normal bronzers. The pro longwear bronzers have sunseed oil (i think that's what it was) and that makes them softer and easier to blend. They also last longer (like we didn't expect that:p). I swatched one of the normal bronzers and after that one of the pro longwear bronzers. I could definitely feel that the pro longwear one was softer and it smoothed out a lot better on my hand. I didn't take pictures at the event, it was too crowded, but i couldn't post them anyway till sunday. I will swatch my own goodies and try to post pictures sunday afternoon. I might go to my local counter monday and swatch the other things, but i'm not sure if i have enough time monday.

Thanks for the info about crew, i think that may have just convinced me I need it. Think im going to have to go back for sail la vie. Is it comparable to vegas volt or toxic tale?? I really need debenhams to have 10% off or beauty card points offer soon so that i can haul some more :)

2nd this! I love OG and I've never seen a colour quite like it. Barefoot sort of looks to me like what would happen if you combined a bit of OG with Sun Blonde from last year's Summer collection.

Thanks so much to everyone who posted swatches. I don't think that this is going to be a huge haul for me, since there are so many other things on my wish list right now, but some of the shadows look outstanding and the glosses appeal to me more the more I look at them...

I think Crew is trying to creep back on my list. Anyone know if there is glitter in there or just shimmer? (not that I need another pink highlighter)

I don't have VV, but I compared it in my swatches a few pages back. To me they're nothing alike.

And somebody asked how I like the MU bags. Love them! They're really cute, lined, and I think quite good value - you get two bags after all! I think I'll use the smaller one for carrying lipsticks around in my purse (at the mo all lippies tumble around in my purse, not good...) and use the bigger one for stuff when I'm travelling.

There are always a few products that don't make it to European counters. Glad you can order it online though.

how do you like Riviera Life? I'm thinking about getting that one too... the colors I have that could be a tiny bit similar are Caqui and Wonder Woman lipglass... Is Riviera life a red orange?

Yes, I posted some a few pages back!

@ xasperadastra: I don't have either Caqui or WW, but Riviera is a very 'orange' orange. There's no red in it.
