No no no why did you have to do that? Now I'm falling back in love with the quad

They canceled the event that was scheduled for today here. My sister was not happy! lol (They did call on Thursday night to cancel.)

i went on Thursday for the launch but the event was Friday and Saturday and the whole thing ended up cancelled. UGHHH good thing i changed my mind and went early. I wonder if they will still do it or just cancel the event completely.

OK, I admit it, BOTH quads are beautiful. I was not going to get them, but I might change my mind soon. I don't think I want to wait until they show up at the CCO. -_-

.....I will need another dresser soon!

New dresser would be nice!

I will receive Prom Princess and Betty Bright in the mail on Monday.

I love this collection so much.

 

[SweetSarah]

Thank you so much!!!!!!

Someone asked for a Moxie vs Ronnie Red swatch. As you can see Moxie is pinker, although RR has some pink in it but it's subtle. They both left strong stains at the back of my hand.

How long does it take for products to end up at CCO?

 

[michelle79]

I've been stalking the website all-day for the restock, it looks like it ain't gonna happen anytime soon. Hopefully some of the NY stores are opened tomorrow & I'll just brave the snow. I want my Ronnie Red!

This collection really killed me! My Mac store isn't having it's event until next week, but they said they would hold everything I wanted until next week because I'm in there all the time. I still purchased a bunch online though!!

So far I got:

Ronnie Red;
Daddy's Little Girl;
Betty Bright;
Girl Next Door;
Prom Princess;
Veronica's Blush; and
The Brush Set

And I have on hold
Cream Soda;
Flatter Me;
Spoiled Rich;
Ronnie Red (BU); and
Betty Bright (BU)

Then I decided that I think I want the Caramel Sundae quad after seeing that video tutorial that someone posted the link to... It's my birthday at the end of the month so my Sister told me to put it on her credit card and she would give it to me on my b-day. Seriously, this collection was pretty ridiculous for me! I cannot but anything else until the Fashion Sets!!!

GREAT HAULS pocketmouse & MsMiranda. Have to totally agree that it was hard narrowing down the list, multiple list revisions, etc., etc. In the end hope you're completely satisfied and happy with your purchases. ENJOY!!!!!

I noticed how well my Archie's Girls purchases (RR, BB, Cream Soda, Prom Princess, Kiss & Don't Tell, Strawberry Malt) go with my Venomous Villains purchases (Wicked Ways, Devilishly Stylish, Darkly My Dear, Innocence Beware, Bite of Apple, Sinister, Briar Rose, Strange Potion, Oh So Fair). I would imagine the Evil Queen and Maleficient shadows, lipglasses and lipsticks would look great with the Veronica collection! I love combining collections to make new combinations!

 

[Medgal07]

Okay folks DLG is amazing! I heard it was super close to night blooming and that is fine but I think I'm in love with this formula instead of the mattene. DLG is a must!

Wearing it today B7uemo0n, and I must agree, it's really very pretty.....love the formula too!

 

[Icecaramellatte]

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!

I skipped the green pigment too. It reminded me a lot of Spirtualize which I have already and a few other pale greens from the pigment stacks. Plus, I just about fell in love with the Laura Mercier mint Caviar Stick which I plan to purchase in a few days.

This is why I passed on Caramel Sundae but I have been sooo tempted. I loved how it looked on others and I love neutrals. I already have Dreammaker and I didn't think the pink would show up as pink on my eyes either. Pinks like that rarely do - they just look white on me. I swatched the brown shade on my hand and it just disappeared. I guess it just matched my skin too perfectly.

oohhhh, that sounds pretty. I have to look that up now.

MAC should be re-sending the items I ordered. No word on where my original order went, as no one called in saying there was an error and they got more products than they ordered (can't say I blame them lol).

Anyway, MAC had to refund me for one out of the two Ronnie Red I ordered because they only had one left to reship (???). Since this order was mainly a CP, I still needed a Ronnie Red for myself and thankfully I was able to finally track one down (Extremely thankful, too!!!). Once everything comes in and it's all good, it'll be a huge relief. Collection launches are stressful enough as it is! lol

So far, of the items I have received, I've tried Daddy's Little Girl and Girl Next Door. I love DLG! It is a way better version of OF for me, it's so bright and springy! Girl Next Door is a nice quick wash of color for me, but I'm glad I didn't get a BU. There are plenty of perm MAC shades that would do the same thing for my pigmented lips.

Liba, are you planning to use Veronica's Blush as a face powder? I'm curious as I don't have Elude.

I got Veronica's Blush, too. I'm loving its silky smooth texture.

If I buy one more product from this collection, it would be the pastel green pigment.

So happy that you were able to track down Ronnie Red! I have yet to open my items from both online and from the unveiling. I just ordered Lucky in Love pigment this morning and waiting on Girl Next Door l/s to come from my pre-order. Now I am thinking about getting Spoiled Rich Quad again. For some reason, I told myself I will not get it since it can be dupeable and Cheers My Dear pigment is now calling me but I have Kitschmas and Milk pigments that I haven't used in so long.

 

[CrissyF]

Today i use the Spoiled Rich quad , the Prom princess blush, the Veronica's blush as highlight and Daddy's little girl lipstick

I didn't care for the quads but this is too pretty that I want SR now!

 

[hwdsprincess]

[hwdsprincess]

[Prettypackages]

Ok so I wore FM all over and it did something LOL. I can see why ppl loved elude and forever Marilyn. It kinda softened my face. If that makes sense. I didn't "get" the stocking reference. But I do now.
