Hmmm. I think I might skip the quads... still undecided about the piggies.

So far, I feel like there's a lot I can already dupe from my collection, like the blushes. I'm kind of interested in Boyfriend Stealer, but honestly, I was more interested when I thought it was a lustre finish. I'm not crazy about Cremesheens. I have fewer shades that are deep and dark but still have a touch of sheerness to them. We'll see how it looks when it lands. There is no way I'm buying anything from this collection until I've had the chance to get swatches for myself, so if it sells out before I have the chance to do that, I'm willing to accept the loss. Given the amount of makeup I have, I'm trying to be very strict with myself in terms of getting things that are very close to items I already have. I don't want to have to move to a larger place to accommodate my makeup collection...

Thank you!! This confirms that i will be getting the brush set!

Thank you!! This confirms that i will be getting the brush set!

Ditto. I was just talking to my mother about this collection and she was telling me how she loved reading the Archie comics when she was little and how my grandpa would have to buy her a new one every week. I told her I would get her a few things from this collection, so I have a feeling that this is going to still be a pretty big haul for me. I don't want to make an official list though because I'm worried even with all the stalking that I plan on doing stuff will still be sold out.

Can anyone tell me how good these mac mascaras are? I've never tried them and I'm in need of a new mascara, plus my name is Veronica so I kinda feel obligated to get hers (even though I'm already buying her lippie and possibly her blush)

 

[ChosenOne]

Anyone have thoughts on how the dark purple Veronica l/g compares to FoF from the GD collection (and before that, obviously)? Because they're looking pretty similar in the tube.

 

[Mac-Guy]

Who's splurging on the accessories?

 

[sadiebaby781]

Who's splurging on the accessories?

I am DEFINITELY getting the brush set. Too cute to resist!

 

[iATEaSEAmonster]

I hope the Lucky in Love pigment doesn't swatch too cool because it's hard for me to find a good green that flatters me without having to settle for an olive shade. It seems that many bright green eyeshadows just look all kinds of terrible on me. >___<

 

[princess sarah]

Who's splurging on the accessories?

I really like the sound of the little accessories with this collection, but then again Im always a sucker for Mac accessories like that!

I want the mirror for sure, but not sure on the brushes

 

[bluelitzer]

I have a Glamour Daze brush set and the ones I have are pretty good quality and they were a bargain compared to the full size brushes (which I mostly have in that set). I travel alot and those were such great things to have. If I have more money to throw this month I definitely will get the brushes.

I would like to know the same thing. And I would like to see swatches of that gloss and Veronica's Black Poodle pigment.
