I have been meaning to buy NYX Taupe blush for awhile now, but I wasn't sure. How do you like it? If you have Taupe Shape (which I just ordered) should I still buy NYX Taupe Blush also? Thank you!
Offtopic but for the people who love NYX Taupe blush: Tweet from NYX: “We love the enthusiasm, but there’s no need to sob! We don’t have any plans to discontinue our Powder Blush in Taupe :) ” I was so afraid that they were going to discontinue it, it's my hg contour powder! YAY YAY YAY.:pompom: :pompom:
I love it! It's buildable, easy to blend and it stays on untill the end of the day. I don't have Taupe Shape and I'm not going to order it when the collection comes out here in Holland. But from what I've read.. TS is more neutral and a bit shimmery and Taupe is matte/greyer/bit darker/more pigmented. So far it's the only thing that works on my skintone for contour.. strangely enough.. because I'm about NC20/NC25 (I don't own mac foundations) with very yellow undertones.

I actually know of free standing stores that charge $50 for an uninterrupted makeup session with no products included.  That is the only way you can make an appointment there or you can walk in and see if they can squeeze you in and get $50 in product to take home, but they will walk away to help other customers while doing your makeup.  I guess each store has its own policy.
Yeah the lessons have a fee, uninterrupted. But they aren't doing something right, cuz you should ALWAYS be able to make an appointment, redeemable in product. They're only available at certain times (depending on appointments already booked and # of artists working, but appointments are always taken (except for major holidays of course). In these appointments they will step away. It's basically like a walk-up, just set at a certain time. They're definitely making up their own rules. My boss tried that when i worked for mac. It didn't fly!

How did WOC like Poised?
Not sure if this helpful since I'm only at NC40 right now, but I really love the way Poised looks on me. I wore it out on New Year's Eve with the All Woman quad on my eyes, and it was a nice way to get my cheeks to pop without being too bright. I'm not a huge fan of having my cheeks compete with other bright makeup on my face, and I can see myself using this blush pretty much every time I wear smoky eyes, red lipstick, etc. It looks like a rosy brown on me, and that's exactly what I wanted!

When this collection was 1st released, I tried Party Parrot on at the Mac Store and did not like it. Got my hands on another one and decided to give it another try and I love it! Not sure about those lights at the MAC store. FYI, I'm NC45/MUFE 173. So if you passed on it, you may want to try it again (even as a lip stain).

I didn't get it... I'm tempted... Just came from NOrdies Mac too... hmm.... Maybe I'll leave it since I have a few no blush looking blushes now with SUR being my fave... Oh shit, I did get it. LOL I'll try it soon.
Suffering from product overload I see...the condition of purchasing so much makeup that YOU FORGET WHAT YOU HAVE!

Me wearing Party Parrot today. Of course I was devastated later by my teams loss, but at least I looked good! #tillnextseason

Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot have the 'Add to Bag' option available and are no longer showing as 'Coming Soon'

I tried to talk myself out of getting any BU, but I've been loving Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot a lot lately.
