It would look really pretty on your skin tone. The plain base is so nice for highlighting. It kind of has a slight lilac pink hue
It does, doesn't it?! It blends so well into pale NW skin

I'll swa
the pearlmattes applied with a brush.  I feel like it gives a shine but no need to get both if you are a woc.  I'm going to be selling flatter me since i like how veronicas blush looks like in the pan lol
I will swap you Flatter Me for Scarlet Ibis from MM and MM eyeshadow?!

Bummer about the brushes (maybe you can pick them up in store Thursday) but I think most of the online retailers still have Flatter Me in stock so not all is lost! http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mac-arc...extualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=0 (Link for FM at Nordy's) http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/...CategoryID=30077&swatchColor=Veronica's Blush (Link for Macy's) http://www.belk.com/AST/Boutiques/B...MAC+Archie+s+Girls+Pearlmatte+Face+Powder.jsp (Link for Belk) I just ordered from Belk and I wish I would have waited and ordered more of my stuff from them. They offer free shipping on all MAC orders AND because they aren't in my state (Washington) I don't have to pay tax! (A big plus since sales tax in Seattle is almost 10%!) Good luck and I hope you can at least get the Pearlmatte! They are so lovely in person!
What's this Belk? I must check it out. I usually order from Bloomies because I also do not enjoy Washington's high sale tax.

I love it. It is my second favorite item (after DLG) from the collection. I got 4 hours of sleep last night (still recovering from surgery plus stupid medications that keep my awake) and my skin today looks luminescent and glowing. I use Play it Proper BP quite frequently (which the light pink in Veronica's Blush was compared to) and I actually prefer Veronica's Blush. I'm trying very hard to resist the urge to back it up. If I didn't already have a few Play it Proper BU, I would be getting mulitples of it for sure!

I like how "soft" the powder is. Just a light swipe of my brush picks up a lot of product and it blends so nicely.

Right? It's a killer! For all the money I've paid in sales tax with my thousands of Archie's orders from MAC and Nordstrom I'm sure I could've bought at least another Pearlmatte...or two! I didn't even think about waiting until it was somewhere else!
Belk's a department store in the South I believe. I had never heard of it before the Marilyn collection. They still have a lot of the collection in stock. I bought some lippy backups from them today and as I was checking out I thought, "Damn...that's cheap!" Then I noticed the free shipping (on MAC orders) and that the sales tax was ZERO! I'm definitely going to keep them in mind for future collections!

I just checked mine and one is Complete and the other is still In Process. I'm excited to get the lipsticks I missed!

Thank you so much! My order has been placed. They had both DLG and Betty Bright in stock. Yay! I think I'm done. I think.

It was such a big relief since I was afraid that they oversold DLG. I stalked the site all night on my phone, but I totally missed the collection until 6 in the morning (about 4 hours since it was on the site, fail), but I am satisfied!

Yeah, they shipped my DLG too! I'm waiting on the BB order to ship, but I'm sure it will soon.
