I'm just hoping it's not too similar to Immortal Flower. Did you get Prom Princess, if so how did it look?

It's Ronnie Pink for you, ForeverJenn.Finally wore Ronnie Red today and I absolutely love it!!
I couldn't help but 'lol' when I stopped by the Bobbi Brown counter today and the MUA told me she loved my pink lipstick and how it complimented my skin tone.
So much for it being called Ronnie red,
It's not red on me AT ALL, it's like this deep fuchsia pink color... not that I care, it's gorgeous

I'm NC15 and love Prom Princess (I bought a back up LOL). I like the color and the texture I skipped Cream Soda because I have a few subtle, soft peach shades already. Have fun!This would be my 2nd time splurging out on a collection, the last one I splurged out on was the shop cook collection my bank balance is going to HATE me

i wish i could see the look on their face when they try the gift card LOL. imagine that, risking everything and getting caught to steal a gift card with zero balance. she probably threw away the lipstick
the lady who i messaged said there was another complaint of a wallet missing, so this person must have been on the hunt. i feel even luckier now that it was just a lipstick i lost. i guess she figured 'moms busy chasing their kids' was the best place to steal stuff. it's kinda true though.. mom's carry cash cause you always need it and they are always sidetracked at one point or another. i will just be more careful now. i felt so violated. i know it's just a lipstick, that wasn't the point, it was the feeling of someone stealing off of you WHILE you're there ughhh

Ummm wow, that is REALLY low. I'm hyper-aware of that kind of thing (such as placing things in outside pockets of my purse) when I'm out and about, but at a preschool party??? I probably wouldn't even think about it! And the fact that someone else's wallet went missing is verification for you that it definitely wasn't a kid who took your lipstick and g/c without knowing any better. That was definitely someone on a mission. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, and I can understand how the feeling is worse than the loss of the lipstick. I'm happy to hear someone is already helping you out with getting a new one!!! And don't worry...what goes around comes around eventually!i wish i could see the look on their face when they try the gift card LOL. imagine that, risking everything and getting caught to steal a gift card with zero balance. she probably threw away the lipstick

So pretty. Makes me wish some how I had gotten hold of DLG. It has been sold out everywhere. 
Well, I think I'm finished with this collection. I finally ended up with: Betty Bright x2 Oh, Oh, Oh Kiss & Don't Tell Ronnie Red Daddy's Little Girl Strawberry Malt Mall Madness Flatter Me Pearlmatte and Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte I was really surprised by what my favorite products ended up being. I thought for sure I'd be all about the coral lip colors, but Daddy's Little Girl and Oh, Oh, Oh ended up stealing the show. Not that I don't love everything else I got, but those two are really stand-outs for me, personally. Ronnie Red is glorious, but I just don't wear a red lip all that often. It will be amazing for special occasions, though! I was kind of hoping to get Prom Princess, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. If I see it in stock at a local MAC or on a site that has free shipping, I'll probably get it. I'd also really like to find a backup of Daddy's Little Girl, but it's not a necessity. So that's my final haul! Oh, how glorious it has been.

I can't believe i did it, but...
I was in Nordstrom yesterday to get some things at the NARS counter, and i couldn't resist checking out the MAC counter. And then (gulp) i picked up Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte and Cheers My Dear Pigment. They were sold out of Lucky In Love or i'd probably have caved and gotten it, too.
The way i justify it:
1. From the one photo i've seen of a Pearlmatte in the Baking Beauties collection coming out in April, i think VB is different enough that it won't be redundant when i get the two BB Pearlmattes.
2. I loved CMD since i first swatched it weeks before AG went on-line, but i was holding out, 'cuz piggies are expensive, and they go such a long way. But it's a color i will wear on my eyes... and then i began thinking about dusting it on cheeks, and putting it on lips, and sprinkling it on my breakfast cereal, and... OK, not on my cereal...

You can wear whatever you want...you might just need a lip pencil to tone it down just like VG Nicki 2 on darker skin tones....I love my Girl Next Door and I wear it without toning it down...But, I am an NC 44.Hello, found GND on a WOC. This image is taken from Krissy at

After reading these posts and looking at some incredible swatches, I feel like I should have bought some of the lippies and blush!
And I don't think MAC is going to restock anymore! Ugh

i'm trying to refrain from buying CMD. i have tried the pearlmates as a highlighter like you suggested and i like it a lot. i think i was using the wrong color highlighters for me. this time i didn't look like a glistening disco ball YAY!
congrats on your fun purchases!!

So glad you found your BB!!!!
What do you think of that Mouche De Beaute? I was surprised by the fall-out. My chest was all glittery. At any rate, I think I like it better than the Chanel Poudre highlighter---I think it performs better as a highlighter. BTW, I still purchased Flatter Me in spite of having both Chanel highlighters. I just adore them---what can I say?

Power Boosted has more red undertones than Spoiled Rich, and Spoiled Rich is deeper and much more vibrant than Power Boosted.

@ Choosen One---I was surprised I loved Boyfriend Stealer so much! It was the one item that kept going on and off my list, and I'm SO glad I got it in the end. Such a beautiful deep purple, and not very sheer on me at all!
I tried BS after reading your above post and it is so not sheer! I wore it with NightMoth lip pencil and Flight of Fancy lipglass and it was bam---right there in full force---not sheer!

I'm a real depotter, but I can't bring myself to depot either of these. What happens later remains to be seen.
For now they'll remain intact.
Omg! I just depotted my Betty quad today and let me tell ya'll-IT WAS A BIT€H!! I purchased both quads so I really wanted to depot one of them (for now). There was soooo much glue on the insert. It took forever to pry loose. Then I had to melt the layer of glue off before I could heat up the black insert itself to depot my eyeshadows. Sheeeww! What a job!
