Pretty packages - I think someone mentioned there are some dupes for SP in the shop cook quad...and one of the colour forecast?
yup, I have those two, and they are very similiar. but the blackened purple, I don't think I have a dupe for. Still undecided about getting it.

Did you take a pic of the look the MA did? I'd love to see how they did the adapted eye look.

lol ya you are def not the only one! I still want Caramel Sundae Quad. >.< What all have you picked up from this collection? Last year, before I knew Specktra I went a lot off T's reviews solely and become apathetic towards MAC collections. This one is SO awesome, I love the colors! My Nordies is coming Monday... (probably Tuesday)! Did you order on thr 4th also?
I'm SO glad i'm not the only one who is still ordering from the collection

 (even though my wallet isn't giggling) I decided to purchase oh, oh, oh lipstick, summer sweetheart and kiss and don't tell today,  because I couldn't decided between the two l/g's. I'm also still waiting on Slow Nordie's as well for my Betty Bright *sigh* took them two days to finally ship and I can't even track it. So far I have now 11 items from the collection...

WILL it be in stock till next week/ two weeks?? the pink color is incredibly frosted. Like I have yet to see it in my eyes as pink.

My lipstick BUs and brush set were delivered. I didn't see my packing slip in my box. I thought it was either left out or maybe put into someone else's box by mistake. Then I found it crumbled at the bottom of the box under all of the tissue paper and packing material. Someone needs more training.

The brush set is so cute. I already have the full size 226 and 266. I'm happy that I don't have most of the brushes. I was so distracted by the hearts when I ordered that I wasn't even paying attention to see what brushes come in the set.

So, do you think the quality is good? I've see a couple complaints about hearts and bristles falling off.

I think I'm going to just find a blackened blueish purple like Ron Ron Run... then I'll officially have this quad without spending $44. Or just get the kat von d beethoven palette.

I almost ordered from there until I heard horror stories that ppls prescriptions were wrong. How was your experience? I already bought mine and spent an arm and a leg (but I love them) I wouldn't mind buying moe from them.
FWIW, I have never had a problem with Zenni or Coastal. Prescriptions have been correct and the frames have held up longer than more expensive ones *coughpradacoughcough*

To get this back on Archie's though, I think I'm going to try to hunt down a brush set. My MAC told me they were sure they'd sell out the day of the release, but I'm not sure if they have. I can deal with a few splayed hairs.

Are upu talking about Nordies, if SO I sent an email and then late yeaterday/today there is movement. Took a week tho.. Geez
Ok, so I check my tracking this morning and there is finally movement! I got an email on the 3rd saying my package (Prom Princess blush) has shipped but there was no movement on tracking all week long. I checked this morning and it looks as if it's just now departing Louisville, KY. I have no idea what that holdup was but I'm glad to see it's at least moving now. I was giving them until this upcoming Monday before I hopped on the phone.

Ugh, so here I am stalking the website for a possible restock to grab my precious Ronnie Red and it's such a hassle that I went ahead and phoned in an order to a MAC store in far-flung state that still has a bunch of them in their inventory. I got free shipping too. I can relax I'm happy!

Wowwww. That is something else! Hope that stuff begins to melt so you can make it to work. Until then, keep having fun playing with your makeup goodies.
Thanks! I made it to work, thank God! It took me 2+ hours to clean off the car and clear a path... Crazy!

I am under 30 inches of snow and all i thought about was... how many people are going to be so mad that the malls and MAC stores are closed due to weather. the big event was for last night and today so that means half the people didn't go yet.. oh my. i'd be so upset.
They canceled the event that was scheduled for today here. My sister was not happy! lol (They did call on Thursday night to cancel.)

Your Welcome:)
I actually did the same thing. I just purchased dreammaker (since it is a repromote) online for $14 instead of spending $30 or $44 on the quads since I have dupes of all the other colors for the CS quad. But I think BE quad is on my wishlist because the colors are so pretty and the reviews I read and watched about them are very good.

Yes, I just discoverd Spektra this past October!! And SO happy I did even though I'm terribly late.

I can see how you would of become apathetic because I picked up that vibe also here and there. Yes I also ordered on the 4th! So I'll go check my PO Box tuesday if I don't receive tracking info by then thank you:)

My List:
Both Blushes
Flatter Me
Designer Purple eyeliner
BB
DLG
BS
Oh, oh, oh
Mall Madness
Kiss&Don't Tell
Summersweetheart
*And I orderd online Dreammaker eyeshadow from the Caramel Sundae quad* I'm including that in my list because I would have never purchased it if it wasn't for this collection lol

P.S. I wore BS alone but today I wore it paired up with Viva Glam VI and it calmed it down quite a bit for a nice daytime look. I want to get the most out of it before winter is over with and I can no longer wear such a rich dark color

*As reference I am a NC 35-40

Ahhh I haven't been around much to post - I don't know if I'll ever catch up on this whole thread!

I did pick up my goodies yesterday at last:

Ronnie Red
Boyfriend Stealer
Betty Bright
Mall Madness (looks awesome dabbed on top of Ronnie Red)
Veronica quad
Cheers My Dear pigment

and Veronica's Blush pearlmatte x 2 (it's as good as Elude, if a little pinker!)

I wound up skipping the pastel green pigment - it's getting closer to what I am looking for but still not quite green enough when applied. I want the brilliant green of a peacock feather when it catches the light.

I hope everyone is happy with their new toys! I know I wound up buying more than expected, due to the next level pearlmattes and the dense color of the eye shadow quad!
