I ordered from Nordstroms online this afternoon - got Superwatt, Electroplate, and a backup of Firesign lipstick. Free shipping and 5% cash back via Ebates...

When these come to my MAC counter, would it be rude to take my Urban Decay build your own palette with me to compare colors? I would like some of the EC shadows, but like others have stated I feel like I already have colors similar to these in my UD palette.

That is an awesome idea, go for it! Of the times I've gone to a counter with a bag full of lipsticks or eyeshadows, not once has any MA given me a hard time about it, even when I've stood there for aaages and swatched products all up and down my arm, lol.

I was thinking that InfraViolet looks a lot like UD's Junkshow from the Anniversary Palette. Such a gorgeous shade, but I wonder how close they really are!

When it comes to informed makeup purchase decisions, NEVER feel "rude" about wanting to compare! That's what stores like Sephora and ULTA are built on... The idea that you can swatch and test different brands to find the best solution for you! It might seem a little awkward at the MAC counter, especially considering that MUA's and SA's can differ from counter to counter, but you should definitely do whatever makes YOU feel like you're getting what you want. It's better for you to know exactly what you want and what you already have and make a smart purchase, than to impulse buy products you find out later you do not want/need and just end up returning them.

If you are made to feel at all uncomfortable while comparing your shadows, I would make a note to tell this to the staff:
"If you don't have a problem with me returning 1/2 these products in a week after I decide I don't need them because I have something that's similar in this UD Palette... I'll just put it away right now. Do you mind giving me your name so I can pass it onto your manager if they don't appreciate going through the "return and trash products" procedure with me next week? Thanks so much!" *insert a HUGE smile here!

Ah okay, thanks! I was going by the July 19 date I saw posted on several blogs. I guess it works out because I meant to bring my Morning Frost pp to compare and forgot it this morning.

You ladies have inspired me! I am going to march into that MAC store and swatch til my hearts content! Looking at the Nordies site, I don't think any of these are exact dupes from the UD palette, but lets be realistic here....how many brights do I need? Half the time I wake up late for work and am lucky to get lipstick on my face! Plus my wallet belongs to By Request, Style Seeker, and Marilyn...not to mention all the other fall, and holiday goodies coming up!

Are we using these as base like PP or on their own? I am thinking a powder e/s over top will help set them (though it seems a shame to hide their light so to speak), but wondering stand alone if anyone can say how long-wearing are they???

I am trying to suppress the urge to just get all of them as they seem so unique and I wish I had done that for Casual Color products before they went away. I am trying to save up for a vacation in August, but we get a "break" then, right? So, I can haul this collection and go for a no-buy in August?

I love your avatar - both Robb and his wolf are cuties!
I will probably be using these both as a base and on their own I think!

I wanted a direwolf but this was the avatar that worked. Waiting to see if any other GoT or ASOIAF "nerds" come out of the woodwork ;)
