***sorry if this post twice since I'm new some of my post have to be approved first I guess*** Erine I've never been color matched at Mac but I do have a mineralized skinfinish in Light that matches me pretty well. Not sure if that helps
Yep! :welcome: to the jellyfish club! What happened to specktra!? I went to respond and the site went down for updating!

This may be a little overload but for the MM collection i checked the site at 12 (central time) that night and then i set my alarm after 3 for every hour and after 5 every thirty minutes. I got really lucky because i wokeup at 6 and didnt see anything. I managed to look at the site around 645 and managed to get everything i wanted. Nothing was soldout. Literally within 25 minutes EVERYTHING started selling out. I think im gonna stick with the same plan for this collection. But just stay up after 6. Just to be safe ;O)
Dang that's commitment. I have to work tomorrow but I am not missing out on this collection, I may just try this.
When the Nars Joie De Vivre palette came out I talked on live chat several times and they told me it wasn't in stock or they would say to call around. I called around, woke up at 5am and was able to snag one. The things we do for makeup.

So after the MAC rep told me the YOTS will be online TOMORROW I refreshed the website and I ordered Shell Pearl just now. We can't really trust what they say anymore which is why I will take no chances with Archies I'm stalking today until tomorrow!

Ok so which pearlmatte should I get? Nc15 or lighter ... I am concerned about having too many powders of the same color! I did order Shell Pearl... And I know play it proper is not the same, but I do have that powder too. Or should I just skip and wait for Baking Beauties?

Lipstickdiva420, please don't have skippers remorse over MM. It also has subtle goldenish shimmers, beautiful, nothing like I have in my stash and I do have a few glosses. I decided to skip Feel So Good as it seems dupeable compared to others I already own.

It's usually the opposite of what CS says

Wow I'm so undecided about what I'm going to get from this collection.. I think I just need to swatch everything in stores before buying too much.

I thought I was going to get the Spoiled Rich quad, and then the pigments sounded amazing, but I'm really not sure I'd get enough use out of them to justify the purchase (I want to swatch the Betty pigments though). I was planning on getting Cream Soda blush and both the pearlmattes, but now I'm thinking I'll just get Flatter Me and possibly CS. For the lipsticks, first I thought I'd be getting Boyfriend Stealer and Ronnie Red, but then I took Boyfriend Stealer off my list and added Girl Next Door, and then Betty Bright caught my eye, and then the Veronica lipglosses (especially Mall Madness and Strawberry Malt). The little hearts on the brushes & eyeliners are so cute too that I've been thinking about picking up those.
Normally I have such a clear view of what I'm getting, this collection is really throwing me off

I think I'd typically be able to pass on a lot of this, but I find the packaging and product names to be super cute, plus there are some giant gaps in my makeup collection that are totally lacking (like, I don't have a single bright matte red lipstick or light pink because for some reason I've been nervous to try them, so it's very easy for me to say I need RR and GND, and that I should get at least one l/s from each girl, my lipgloss stash is also seriously lacking) I don't want to go overboard though with all the upcoming collections so I really want to think things through. Maybe I'll just wait on buying til this is in stores (or I'll just pick up a couple things online, like Flatter Me and Ronnie Red). TOUGH DECISIONS ack First world problems, amirite?
