I was about to shout "AWESOME" until I realised those were American prices. For a second, I thought they'd given a price decrease- like that would ever happen...

I think I might end up only getting Strong Woman l/s from this collection. I have so many bright pinks already, I don't think I can justify getting PiPi. I passed on it with IA, and I might just pass on it again. (Of course, I told myself I wasn't going to get OF from GD either because I already had so many bright pinks, but then became convinced that it was an original color unlike anything I have...not many of my pinks lean purple!) So hopefully this will be a one item haul for me (can I call it a haul if it's only one item? lol) and I can reserve more money for TT and AC.

Thanks! Damn, I want Pink Pigeon but already own Schiap.

Interesting, I've passed on Schiap before, because I prefer Funny Face among Nars mattes. Now I'm wondering if I'm not just buying into the hype and thinking about getting PP just because it has such a following. It would be cheaper than Schiap, which is nice since it's not a colour I'd wear all the time. I'll see how many B2M things I have by then. That might make the purchasing a little easier

I also figured that if I finished up LE lippies, Mac will always bring out something very close or re-proomote it at some point again. I started to feel bad when i was running out of Elude but backed up another 2 so I could go nuts with it in winter.

Even get to the point that I touch my lipstick up 2-3 times a day so its bright and fresh, rather than saving it for special occasions too. I use my Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot at least 1-2 days a week for work before I got Moxie and CYY. Now I just mix them around and probably use them each about 1 day a week and Heroine or Violetta the other

Pink Pigeon is definitely one of the "good" new MAC mattes - it's very long lasting, non-trasferable, feels very light on the lips like silk and not drying.

Personally I like Quick Sizzle and Candy Yum Yum better, since QS is more rich and 'adult' than PP and CYY is more extreme. If CYY is just a little too whitish and/or neon, PP is the way to go.

I only own 2 Nars lipsticks, because I hate the packaging of Nars products. They get all sticky and I just want to throw them away. But they had a good gift with purchase so I decided to try them. I bought Schiap because it was very popular, but now that you are talking about Funny Face I think I prefer that one. lol
