Can anyone tell me how Freckletone compares to Pure Zen? Pure Zen is too light and too peach for me for some reason "/ (NC30-35)

Its a bit too orange to work for me as a nude, I prefer Siss, however, if you really want it due to snake design, my enabling self says get it and if it leans too orange, well, a lil pink gloss will take care of that!
Its not orange on me maybe because im darker? Who knows lol. But i prefer freckletone over siss
I've decided I need Freckletone.  The etched snake design is too cool and even though I don't normally go for peachy nudes I figure that since I'm quite yellow toned it may just be an HG for me.  I think I'll go by the counter to swatch the perm one though.  Anyone love freckletone?
I love it. Its one of my fav nudes

My sister does that to me all the time on Facebook but with spiders. I'm terrified of them and she will mix in a few pictures of her tarantula with cute pictures of my niece.

My order has arrived but my Aztec Brick e/s came without the special edition sleeve. (It's not even a box btw, just a sleeve.) :( Disappointed. At least I did get one with the other e/s.

That really is disappointing. For me the packaging is partly what makes special edition products, erm, special particularly when the colours are repromotes. But it does have the snake print right?

I kind of want Altered State too but I know I don't need it. I hope I'll be able to keep it off my cart when the time comes

Typical. In the meantime I keep changing my mind! Snakey SP or Archie SP? Aaaargh!!!

It would be amazing if someone saw/swatched both products and gave us some info as to how similar/different they are.

Yes it does, but to me that's not actually that interesting. At least the eyeshadow looks nice. Haven't swatched it yet in case Mac ask me to return it in exchnage for one with a sleeve, although I'd prefer it if they could just send me a sleeve.

I cannot believe it is still not up. Am I missing something here? I just went shopping WITH my Ipad, just so that I can still stalk the site. Now how sick is that? Got the regular plumful lipstick because I stopped by a MAC counter. Pretty lipstick. Toned down for me but pretty. Perhaps now that I am getting older I will appreciate those kinds of colours more? It will take some getting used to though. After all, I am a bright lippie girl. Esp reds...and hot / bright pinks...

This is how freckletone looks on me without a lip liner which makes it such an easy nude to wear.

(from my blog)

Im thinking about buying it again with the snake print only if its the same price as the regular one because ill use it so much the snake print wont last that long lmao

u kno now that I think about it, I'm not gonna get the eyeshadow. I'm getting too many from UD which I Iike better. I'm sure T will compare both but I'm not sure she'll post pics of it. I wanted the snake and Archie powders but for now Im just getting the Archie one. if the snake one is around still at the end of the month I will get that one too. if I get it then I will order the lipstick too. otherwise I'm going to pass on everything. the snake print will eventually wear away...... trying to talk myself out of this .......

That's a very good point

. In my case it's not so much a choice between the snake print and the cute hearts. It's between a pure BP (if that makes any sense) and one with blush. I like to use larger brushes with my BPs and I don't know if I can avoid getting some of the blush colour on the brush if I just want to use the BP. And the hearts look a bit on the small side for a brush to pick up the colour without getting some BP on it as well.

I'm not making any sense am I?

Happy hauling, everyone!

I'll probably skip this collection. I'm interested in Cockney l/s, but I know I would never use the one with the beautiful snake print. I know I would not touch it. It's too beautiful.

I'm glad Cockney is permanent. No need to rush for this lippie. More for you guys. Enjoy!
