I'm a sucker for cute tins too so I totally understand you wanting to get the brush set 
yes.gif
. Do you own any MAC SE brush sets? More importantly, do you like them? If yes. then go for the brushes. If your SE brushes go unloved then go for BS and SR. There are lots of pretty tins out there!  Oooh, UD palettes! I didn't care for them at first but now I want Glinda. The other one's way too brown for me. Did you try them yet?
no I haven't tried the oz palettes yet lol only the lip pencils! hahha I only wanted Glinda but then I know I wear browns more and I'm more of a bad girl so I got Theodora's as well ;) I do have two brush sets the mineral set from glitter n ice and the pink set from glamourdaze. I use the glitter ones almost everyday I barely used the pink ones at all, but thy are not put out like my regular brushes. I like them cuz I can see which brushes I actually use and like. I only have two perm mac brushes , but I don't even remember which ones lol. I kno the brush set sold out already , but I'm tempted to just get the actual products and see if they release more brush sets in a couple weeks.... But i dunno still lol I got two more days to figure it out!!

I tried the Glinda one last night and love it. The colors work so well together! Christine did a review if you want to check it out:)
Glad you like it!

I'll try and see if I can snatch it once it hits Beautybay, or anywhere else that ships to the Netherlands for that matter. Let's hope my recent (and ongoing) episode of MAC rampage will have left sufficient funds by then. Hehe.

Hey girly, can u tell me what you used as a base/primer? The Caramel quad shades did not look that lovely on me.
I know I read your post and I really think you got a dud! What's your skin tone? I used it with painterly paint pot. I could see the colors not showing up as well without a base..

I cannot accuse you of enabling, b/c I had already ordered the Caramel Sundae quad but it looks lovely on you and you have ensure I will get over the "just looking at the prettiness and not swatching the pristine surface" much quicker than usual b/c I will want to use it. MAC finally came with a quad I really wanted for everyday, the caramel/dark brown/pink/ and gold are perfect. I am not even complaining about Showstopper being in there (again) because it is such a great color for the V in all these neutrals.

I have to confess, I think the navy color with the pearlescent shimmers sold me on the SR quad, because I honestly could have duped the other colors.

My thoughts are...are you an Oz or Archie buff? Then get the one you like more that way. All other things being equal, get SR if you prefer darker/smokey eye and the Oz one if you prefer more neutral eye with strong/statement lip...

I had the same dilemma, and I just ordered Glinda instead. There are some equally beautiful purple shades in the Glinda palette, and it comes with a liner and lipgloss, so you get much more for your money.

I picked up comic cute and past curfew, I was hoping comic cute would be close to coconut ice from lillyland, but its a lot pinker and brighter. Oh well! Never hurts to have more nail polish:bigstar:
Both of those polish look so gorgeous, I wish I could get past my dislike for the MAC formula b/c the colors they come up with for the collections are so on trend and pretty.

I think you are going to love what you got. I forgot to mention that I will be getting Nicki 2 in both the l/s and the l/g. You will get yours before me so let me know how you like it and what is the best way to wear it. I am thinking of pairing it up with Magenta l/l.
You will love the Caramel Sundae palette and the pearlmattes.
And, despite Sephora's mistake, I am going to keep the NARS powder. It is wonderful.

Me too. I've only owned 3-4 MAC nail polishes, but they always chip so quickly on me. I love Comic Cute's name and color, but I'll just find a dupe from a different brand.

T lists OCC Extravaganza as a dupe, wonder how is there formula/longevity of wear???
