Anyone else notice that the MAC website now has some things listed as "Coming Soon" instead of sold out? I wonder when ....!

Yeah, I was wondering about that too.

I went to my MAC today and got there at 10:30am instead of 10 when they open and BB and flatter me were only things sold out already but I had my flatter me on hold. They messed all the holds and after 40 minutes I got lucky and I was able to get my stuff as the girl i always buy from was there *whew*. I collected my stuff and my son who was touching EVERYTHING

and went home.

I got home and found a BB in my bag that I didn't ask for. They charged me for it but that means i ended up with someone else's and they won't get one it's 45 minutes away and my son is asleep, i can't go back. THEN UPS comes and drops off a MAC box. I was so excited at first than thought.. wait... i didn't order anything. well, seems they sent me a mall madness...ummm random? It showed no charge on the receipt. I called up and the lady said there must have been a mishap and i was a lucky. There was no charge for it and she said to keep it

.

so i ended up getting:
Online:
YOTS Plumful
DLG
GND
mall madness
veronica pearlmate

mall madness extra for free!

In Store:
betty pearlmate
caramel sundae quad - thanks to you guys!!!!
stay sweet- i don't like it. too patchy on me
BB- which i don't want to open as i'm not sure what i'm going to do with it.

than i went to sephora to try the NARS reflecting powder you were all talking about WOW!! loved it. the girl gave me a huge sample so i'll use that for now. Thank you elegant one

I thought it looked gorgeous on Karen but when I tried it the other day it seemed more brown on me. It actually reminded me of Glamourdaze they way it looked on me. Swatched it looked more plumy but on me... not so much. I picked up Plumful so I feel better about that then Oh, Oh, Oh.

i did the same. Oh oh oh and glamourdaze looked the same on me. Plumful is just so pretty... LOVING IT!!

I used my Back to Mac to get Plumful ONLY TO FIND it was a TOTAL dupe for Glamourdaze. -_- (at least for me.

What a difference skintone makes - they are TOTALLY different on me. Plumful is on the right:

My order of Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte shipped today!!

 

[xelamazing]

Did anyone buy Oh, Oh, Oh, I feel like it's the red headed step child of the lipsticks but Temptalia has a gorgeous swatch of it that I didn't see till now

I went ahead and bought it. It was too beautiful to resist. The color is right up my alley!

 

[kaira]

I finally received Cream Soda and wore it as soon as I took it out of the black box! (~NC17 - NC 20). Please excuse the fuzziness lol. iphone pics suck . I don't know how I feel about this blush. I expected it to be more of a pale peach, but it's pulling kind of light coral on me. :/ I have similar blushes that's light coral lol. Maybe I should try Flatter Me, hmm.

 

[MadTheologian]

I tried on Ronnie Red inside the Macys and it looked nice... but after purchasing, when I walked outside, my lips pulled magenta on me. So off to the Clearance Bin!

 

[Christy0188]

My order of Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte shipped today!!

did you get free overnight shipping? I order the Veronica's pearlmatte yesterday but no notification of my order being shipped

 

[brittbby]

The colors are a bit muted because of lighting. I couldn't find a good angle with the natural light. But this is the caramel sundae quad! Really great for everyday and easy to smoke out !

Great video! The comparisons were really helpful.

 

[MissBeautyBunni]

but I've been a lurker for about a month and just wanting to jump in the conversation made me join. You guys are so awesome and make me want to get doubles of everything in this collection.

I picked some 3 lipsticks during the pre-launch event at the North Park mall: DLG, BB & RR. I am an NC50 in MAC for color reference. I paired BB with Vino lip liner just to tone it down a little. I may go back for BFS but it may be too dark for me but I'll give it a try.

Are the pearlmattes just meant to be a wash/dusting of color on the face? Or would y'all say ppl use it more as a highlight?

 

[bluelitzer]

Moxie is alot pinker than Ronnie Red. I'll swatch it for you when I get home if no one else does it first.

Forgive me if this has been covered, but I've been away for a while writing a book.

I bought Betty Bright and Girl Next Door. I want Ronnie Red, but I'm concerned that it's too similar to Moxie. Can anyone swatch them for comparison, please?

Final haul- 2 BB 2 DLG 1 RR 1 flatter me I was able to get my MUA to hold DLG and RR for me. She used to live in SD but now works at my local MAC and happily wants to hold things for me. I feels so special!
