I know I'm a little shocked. Mac is on the ball I guess (like they should be). I ordered 2 day shipping so hopefully it gets here Wednesday.

Can I thing go right for an entire relase of MAC collections? Ever since AGs at least one thing is 'coming soon', it's old & beyond annoying. I'm not even getting into the Riri clusterf--k of BS & BOs! ** I have Riri Woo & would love to swap with someone with good feedback for their Barbados girl Lustre Drops. Back to the point I was trying to make, MAC needs to slow their roll they can't have everything ready to sell on the day they launch stuff, then why launch? How hard is that to understand??? I don't know what the hell to order, I'm stressed bc I want to see it IRL Thurs. morning before buying...but I was in the ER again Sat & now I have to go thru a drs. appt. marathon. I'll miss my chance to get what i want if I'm not well enough to drive to mac to see it IRL & buy my stuff. I'm is sad. I have no clue what to buy. I want MSFs & Blushes but 2/3 are coming soon (that's what I was referring to when saying mac has done this with every Collx since AG's. it's annoying.) & mybe an MESs or 2, but I didn't know b/c they are few swatches out there. I'm NC20 with a plethora of freckles. Recs for MSFs & blushes would be much appreciated. I lived Beautyzine's swatch of Stunner, is that not an accurate swatch of it? B/c i keep seeing people saying they want her stunner. Is Beautyzine's Stunner swatch just the pink part? Please, after all my hospital visits, going to drs. procedures & new meds I can't spend what I want. I need to really spend wisely. I really like the look of Lust & Adored but I have no idea if maybe I should chose Rio over Lust or vice versa. Please just someone tell me what a freckle faced NC 20 girls should get? Should I just wait to get it thru Macy's or Nordies OL? In case I have a drs. Appt or I'm too sick to check it out IRL??? I'm mainly trying to focus on MSFs & Blushes. If there are any stand out MESs for blue-green eyes, PLMK!!!! Please I need help desperately. I don't want to miss out on MSFs this year, please help! Is Hip N Happy must have? I don't wear much pink, so I'm thinking no, right? I have Heroine & Ablaze, so am I good on LL??? Am I missing anything else? Please help. I'm so twisted up with my health problems I can't decide heat I should order or not. & should I wait to get it thru Macy's or Nordies??? PLEASE HELP. I don't feel well & I'm not thinking clearly. Okay I think I've groveled enough, I'm disguisted with myself & near years, not over MU.

Spanky, hope you are feeling better soon!
First off, at least at my store, they got a larger than usual supply of all the MSFs, blushes and shadows. If you can get down there Friday, I bet your store will still have stock.
I remember your coloring from photos you've posted. For the blushes, I'd say #1 will be Exotic Ember. Im NC15 and have freckles and it's the perfect shade to hide my freckles and still look like a sheer veil of sexy tanned color. It accentuates the bone structure wonderfully. If you prefer a less subtle type of blush, I'd say second best would be Simmer - it's versatile and unique.
For the MSFs I'd rank them for you as Adored > Rio > Lust, which is the same ranking I give them for myself, plus I think the Adored + Exotic Ember was an extra nice combo.
159 brush is awesome.
I've got green eyes and Bossa Blue was the sexiest, Tropica was lovely and unique, if possibly a little on the youthful side for me, and Time to Tango was great, but has glitter. Caribbean is a no-brainer color for green eyes, but you probably already have something similar. Same thing for Cha Cha Cha. Dare to Bare was a little run of the mill and also had glitter so definitely my least fave.
Hope this helps - don't worry too much - Temptalia will have pictures before Thurs. the way things are looking too, so there's that. (I wonder if she is going to LOVE or HATE the MSFs and blushes this time around. I feel like she may rush through her testing and decide she doesn't like them before she's found the best brush and technique to apply them, as she's done before with Mineralize.)

uohohhhh my stuff has arrived!!!!! I'm really lucky because the blushes (Simmer and Sweet samba) are really well balanced with the colors (half of a color and half of the other).. Adored doesn't have a lot of coral in it but it could be worst (all white)... anyway I'm really happy,today I'm going to take pictures of my goodies.
