Where did you get it? Pro store? I haven't been able to make it there in ages... OK, feels like ages, probably about 3 weeks. Personally, I'm so busy, I'll be happy if the collection stays under wraps until the 26th...

Weird thing: I was near a counter yesterday, so I couldn't resist trying on CYY. I'd tried it when it first came out and I didn't think that it looked good on me. Last night, suddenly, I liked it. I can't figure why it struck me as different, but after giving it a test, I think I'll be adding it to the collection. Given that, I might not need Pink Pigeon. I don't wear bright pinks so often that I need multiple matte barbie pinks. So now I'm looking at Party Parrot, Firm Form and Strong Woman for sure. Maybe a quad.
yep. it was very random though...i happened to get off work an hour early, so i figured 'why not?'
On a regular basis however i find it to be a bit of a trek and the collections are generally already online first these days, so i hadn't been to the PRO store since Reel Sexy.

in the end from this collection got firm form, strong woman, absolute power and the all woman quad.

it's interesting you got cyy this time around -- i don't recall whether this one is different from the by request one, but that one was a slightly different shade from the quite cute release...

it seems like the type of collection that might have a lot of items appearing in CCOs later on, so hopefully you'll have a chance later to get things you miss at the moment. :)
firm form and strong woman are super nice and probably not easily duped, so they seem like a good choice. poised blush looks really nice too...i was lemming it, but i decided i probably have too many other similar shades! i guess there's a chance i might change my mind...

yes to be honest i dont have money right now so i my lists are short. i wanted more pink pigeon and party parrot, the 2 quads, the other blush. also from apres chic im only getting 4 things. i luv everything but i cant afford it right now. i do hope i get the chance of going to a cco next year and finding lots of goodies.

yep, i think it's probably like that for a lot of people with the holidays and all. between strength, apres chic and pressed pigments i got 6 items, though i wanted much much more! i might go back for the mineralize eye brush, but i'm going to do my best to resist anything else.

maybe we'll all luck out and get some gift cards for christmas ;)

I think I'm just gonna get Firm Form, Strong Woman, and Party Parrot. I've been thinking about getting a BU of Pink Pigeon but I already have one and it's not even very flattering on me soo.. I just keep wanting to love it because it looks so good on other people, but obviously it's not the pink for me. Maybe I'll get Absolute Power, I just don't want it to end up being too similar to Ronnie Red because I know I definitely want that one (the packaging is too cute for me to resist).

How does Strada compare to taupe shape? Strata is my HG blush and don't have a bu so I wear it sparingly. I'd love to get something similar.
