I so wish I could swatch here. Neither the store nor the counter (both of where I'm greeted by name, so it's not like they don't know me) are permitted to do it. It would make things so much easier (as would the ability to pre-order or hold items, which they will no longer do post MM).
I am most drawn to the coral Pearlmatte, but I wish I had a sense of what colour it really is. I love Flower Fantasy, but it is mostly a deeper colour that I wear as a glowy blush in the spring/summer. If these are mostly shimmer, then I'd likely pass. I have enough highlighters (until I fall in love with a MSF or special powder/highlight this summer).
I can't swatch, I can't pre-order/hold, local counters don't get nearly enough stock, they aren't releasing samples to bloggers so that I can see swatches...exactly what is the alternative to ordering blind the second it comes online????
Special powders are my weakness, but I don't want to order something I'm just meh about anymore than I want to kick myself later for missing a great product. I hate this nonsense with MAC, I really do.
