Thanks! Now that you put it that way... I think I might get one or two of these lipsticks.

Not sure about the blushes though. I don't mind paying $25 for the ED blushes because they are 0.22 oz each, while the MB are only 0.11 oz! That's only half the size! Regular powder blushes are $21 each for 0.21 oz. I know they have different formulas and all, but I think I'll just stick to ED blushes (which I love) and regular powder blushes... unless of course I come across one that is very unique.

These equations only work if mac prices their products by weight. But they don't. MBs at 0.11oz isn't half the amount of EDBs at 0.22oz. It's just half the weight. You can easily have the same amount of two different products, yet they have different weights. A cup of white sugar weighs 7oz. A cup of powdered sugar weights just under 4.5oz. Same amount of product. Different weights.

The size and pricing of the blushes don't bother me that much because it's a product that I'll get many months use out of before it's finished. It the Cremesheen Lipglasses that are a huge ripoff--more expensive, less product, and finishes in 1/3 of the time of the regular lipglasses. I always talk myself out of buying them for these reasons.

Can't wait for swatches. Not sure if I want anything from it just yet. I'm skipping the riri collection and just got two things from AAO. Plus it's my 31st birthday and anniversary in July. So I want to get some goodies!
