I thought these videos capture two different brown girl friendly pin up looks.

This collection is a possible skip for me. I don't wear red lips much. I may get the eyeshadows and maybe The Perfect Cheek. But I don't know if the Perfect Cheek would show up on me either. We'll see if swatches change my mind.

I know right...that packaging is going to be a big issue for my walletwe're getting the same thing. Hopefully they all look good because im getting them regardless

These are good. I envision a pin up look for someone my shade as being a lip focus as oppose to trying to find pin up girl shadows. I don't think there were a lot of black pin up girls in the 40's and 50's to get a look from. instead of doing a look with frosty or shimmery shadows, I really love the high glamour looks of Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Eartha Kitt, etc: which was just lashes, eyeliner and lips. When I am doing a lip focus, I like a combination of tele tint, arena, texture and one to watch on the lids with saddle, foilie, brown script, Swiss chocolate, brown down to define the crease. naked dark or deep dark pigment in the inner corners and as a highlight.

Very Excited for all of the Lipsticks (Except Pure Zen...Will get that one when it becomes permanent!). I need to see swatches of the beauty powder before I commit lol.

After looking at pictures over and over I've decided my haul will be real small. For sure I want Preferred Blonde e/s. That's the only thing I know I want. Maybe's: the highlighter I think the packaging is so cute, but I'm not real sure about the product itself. Also I missed out on Scarlet Ibis so I may get it this time around. I don't want it to pull too orange so I'm thinking about filling my lips in with a red liner to make it pull more bright red with a hint of orange. I wonder if that would work.

What was an online only collection? Iris Apfel? It was at MAC stores.

I thought sure I remember going in to see the collection and by the time I got there, the only lipstick that was left was Scarlet Ibis and I didn't want that one so I left it there.
Store displays ^^ so apparently it wasn't an online only collection.

I said MAC stores. Not counters but stores. I almost felt like we were talking about another collection for a minute when Kimbunney and CartoonChic said they were online only. For a minute I was like "well wait, am I in the Twilight Zone??" LOL!!

LOL! I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone there for a minute! I was about to start flipping tables.
I mentioned before how I saw the lipsticks online, but wanted to try them out in person to make sure I liked them before buying. I went to a counter and was told it was only online. They were sold out by the time I got back home. I was still a rookie in the ways of MAC and didn't know it was available at free standing stores. I also didn't know where a free standing store was located in my area at the time. But I have come far in my MAC training thanks to Spektra and will not make that mistake again.

My Marilyn list hasn't changed much, but now I'm not sure about the eye shadows because of their higher price. I hope it's more to them other than being larger in size, like a new veluxe pearl texture or something. If it costs more simply because it's bigger, then I'll skip.

The shadows are bigger? I don't think I knew that. I figured the products would be a bit higher in price because of the special packaging but I didn't know the shadows were bigger.
