But I need help

!!! For someone who is on a self imposed blush "no-buy", I'm spending a lot of time looking up swatches. I've convinced myself that I don't need "I'm the One" since I have Nars Gaiety and that Easy Manner is just another peach blush, but I need someone to convince me/give me reasons whhhhhhhhhhhhy I don't need Small Vanity! My self control is waning.(BTW, I'm also accepting any and all enabling as well. Equal opportunity debate and all).
You NEED Small Vanity because w/o it you just might succumb to skipper's remorse. It's fatal you know, and of course, YOLO

Lol, I got an email at 11:56pm EST saying that my order is ready to pick up at Nordstrom. I think it's probably best to pick it up tomorrow during normal business hours. I hope that means they'll have the collection out so I can re-swatch Round Midnight.

At 12:06 AM EST, I received MAC's email letting me know the GD collection is now available online. 8 and a half hours after I placed my order. Thanks for the heads up, MAC!

I'm thinking it's because more people opted to preorder this time around.
I think it might a combination of things - for one, there isn't as much "hype" surrounding this collection. I mean yeah, makeup lovers are aware of it, but collectors won't be after this the way they were about MM. Plus, from what I recall, holiday collections tend to stick around a bit longer. There's so much stuff available (and lots of things upcoming) and people pick and choose. Some items may get restocked, but who knows if MAC is limiting stock this year?

They look pretty close, but stylishly merry is shinier of course. I skipped that one since I already own Star n' Rockets.
I was wondering the same. I was trying my best to skip SM but some how it ended up in my cart! Don't know how that happened, heh. Maybe I'll switch them in the store tomorrow...but I love the EDES sheen. Decisions!

I love it. On me, it gives a nice pink sheen instead of peach. I also just tried Whisper of Guilt on my face for the first time to compare. It's such a pretty gold. I'm surprised it works this well on me. I thought it would be more cool toned. Now I'm thinking about getting a BU of it which I didn't expect at all. I think I'm in trouble.
I love it too. I got it during the first launch, which was after I had gotten Estee Lauder's Illuminating Powder Gelee, Modern Mercury 1. The 'Superb' formula isn't as nice, but the effects are.
It looks just as nice, but on me it doesn't wear as long. If I didn't have Modern Mercury, Superb would be more than suitable, and if I didn't have Modern Mercury I would BU Superb. It's just pretty and so worth having.

Curiously enough it's the first time I could purchase a M.A.C collection before you US ladies, very surprising indeed ! ( I don't reside in Paris )
Now I am waiting for the Chanel collection to launch ( mid november so far I know ).
Well, now

submitted my order, got 2 x WOG since i missed out on them the first time and a couple of pro products. I can safely say i'm done with mac for the meantime until they decide to repromote by candlelight or make an EDSF version of it (CAN U IMAGINE HOW BEAUTIFUL THAT WOULD BE?!)
OMG

Man! I've been out for a little bit and this thread goes nuts! I cancelled my pre-order that I did during the Marilyn event and just ordered my stuff through Nordstroms. The store I did the event at isn't that close to me and I know Nordstrom's is reliable, I changed my mind at the last minute about the fluidlines (was going to get all three in my original pre-order) because it seems I never use the ones that I already have. (I stick mainly with my good ol' regular liquid) Maybe after I see swatches I may pick them up. The glitter is what I'm most curious about. I want it to be noticeable but not candy raver, you know?

Also, even though I know I shouldn't I passed on WoG...I think I have enough highlighters and I'm worried because it looks *so* gold. Anyone care to try to talk me into it? ;)

On a side note: I've been having a pretty horrible time recently. I was attacked by a few people on one of our city buses last week and got hurt pretty badly. I'm home still recovering today and so glad that I spend the time hauling and swatching with Specktra! You are all helping to remind me that there is some good out in this crazy world! I love that this community is so polite and helpful and I just wanted to thank you all for helping me get my mind off things for a bit.

Now...Back to hauling!

Its so good to see everyone making out with what they want this time! I haven't been keeping up as much since MM but I ended up getting a few items from this collex...final list was: Beauty & Innocence l/s Small Vanity & Easy Manner blush Little Black Bow f/l Raven kohl I'll be in the store on Friday and left myself a $70ish budget there. I may pick up another f/l or Talk to me Softly and/or one of the sets, or a backup of something I got already if I fall in love with one. I am happy I already have both the EDSF and the EDES doesn't much appeal to me (overpriced IMHO) or else I would be in REAL trouble!

Wow! Thanks ladies! I'm doing a lot better, but I get a broken nose out of the deal. Hopefully, all my new goodies will take some of the attention away from that!

I really do appreciate all your kind words.

I already have Kim from MW2 and I adore it! I was so happy to find a gold one - I can wear it over every-day type l/s to spice them up a bit :) Also it was only £10

OT: If if find Beatrix as well, get it. It's a lovely corally-peachy color too.
