Yea, you told me but, you did say someone told you about the sparkles!!! I have to pull it out but, there are completely different.

Oh ok, hopefully this will be my last order till april lol.

I received BB in the mail yesterday and I was surprised at how unique the color is. It's much pinker and less peach/coral than I thought it'd be. I posted these comparison swatches on my blog and thought it'd be helpful here too. ​

Thanks for the swatches Miss Enabler! They are all so beautiful. Now I feel the need for Jazzed, Reel Sexy, Ever Hip & Maybelline Coral Crush because these are not colors I would normally gravitate towards, at all...at least I could try the Maybelline & it's not as expensive as Crosswires.

I was so shocked with the big restock of strength lol. Now I'm curious about Ronnie Red

, but I keep telling myself I don't need another red lippie. lol

Same! I haven't worn Absolute Power out so I do not need Ronnie but the packaging is so very cute...

I need some advice. Do any you guys think that GND would be good for a NW15 skin tone? I wasn't planning on ordering it but, after swatches and all the good talk about it
I broke down and ordered it. Thanks MAC for the restock and more damage to my bank account! Damn! I'm gonna be broke forever..lol

Ups Left my package at the front door again ugggh

.

How bout the package I received today wasn't even taped closed!!! Come on MAC now, if my prods would have been missing I would have went HAM on MAC customer Service lol...They were all there nicely lined up inside of the black tissue paper!!! Maybe the UPS guy wanted to see what I ordered lmfao! #swerve

I think it will look lovely on your skintone and I think MAC-GUY and Elegant-One are in your shade range and they are the pro's for that category!

Mine was taped closed... but the lipglass wasn't even in the middle of the package. I just opened the box and bam it was right there... falling out.

I'm so pissed I didn't get the pin. I could cry. I didn't know about the $75 dollar thing. A--holes at MAC, such a love hate relationship!

You can have mine! I don't have any use for it. Although I'm a huge fan of the products in this collection I'm not really a big Archie fan. I don't know what I'd do with it! PM me your address and I'll send it to you!

 

[Spanky]

Do I need Flatter Me is I have Shell Pearl??? Do I need the other powder if I have Play it Proper??? What about Cream Soda blush? are these products so great that im going to have Skipper's Remorse? I'm so overloaded right now.

Thanks for posting this. I have Reel Sexy which I am not a fan of. It looks too milky on my lips.​

Is anybody able to post a comparison of BB to Watch Me Simmer and/or Chatterbox?​

 

[Baby1black]

[Naughtyp]

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so fuckin pissed right now! went to go get my check and they inform me that even tho they have the checks they can't give them out tommorow!!!! I was supposed to go to the party tonight I was going to buy like $300!!! now I can't buy shit I'm seriously in my car crying right now and I have to take a fucking math quiz in 5 minutes. I'm so soooo upset and no one around me understands or even cares! it was supposed to be my first party but kow I really don't see the point since I don't have any fucking money!

I sure hope so! My only worry is that it will make me look washed out. I mean, I'm practically see thru-pale so...lol! Thank you for help!

Has anyone else sniffed their lippies? Mine don't smell like vanilla that much..... Betty Bright and DLG

Stephy, wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww they must be in a hurry to get our packages out!! Even though we want our packages in a timely manner, I want my products to be safe and snuggled up in their temporary home aka the box! ; )

This will help :haha: The 242  costs $25 - only & then there is the great crease brush... and then look at those adorable little red hearts :bigheart:

Is the brush set available at counters???

 

[gildedangel]

I have Play it Proper and Veronica's Blush. The base color in Veronica's Blush is pretty close to Play it Proper, but the texture is different. I think they are different enough to get both, but that's because I love powders like this. Play it Proper is a favorite of mine so I'm really glad that they are similar. If you don't use Play it Proper a lot you may not find it necessary to have both...but they are soooo lovely!

I am so SORRY Naughty P, don't cry!!!! You have to concentrate for your quiz. Still go to the party and see what you want and then on the 7th just be at the store as soon as they open and get what you want!! I know you are devastated right now...Keep Your Head Up Babes!
