And honestly, I just saw Temptalia's review, and Midnight Mambo is SUCH a dupe-able shade- like really MAC? On the lips it just looks like a Milani lippie I swatched the other day!

I love it. It's not quite black, with a lot of gold in it. I think it's gorgeous. I'm considering a BU...
I have Orpheus and Blackline pearlglide and I prefer the pearlglide. I think it also depends on your skin tone. On my skin, gold colours tend to disappear so Orpheus wasn't spectacular- I think I used it twice and didn't touch it again. But Blackline shows up on me beautifully. It also has better staying power than Orpheus. A lot less smudgy.

It's pretty and I was considering a b/u, but the staying power is just not there. Not to mention I have a stila eye pencil that is the exact same color as Orpheus with better staying power (but that was LE too last time I checked). Looks like my final haul is just Heroine l/l. Short and sweet!

I'm thinkinh about Narcissus too and maybe Heroine l/l
Sounds good. Since there's so much uncertainty on how the MSF's will show on WOC I'll make the trip and test them out. Yeah, I had grabbed heroine and ablaze from Fashion Set collection :).. I'll see how Hip n Happy looks too. The eye shadows I'm not sure either. I have a bunch from Heavenly Creature collection that I hardly touch. They look so pretty too..lol. So depending on what everything swatch like I'll make my decision from there. Hope you get yours easily :)

I have two csg from last years holiday collection and I love the texture of them. They're not like the regular lip glasses. The last time I wore magnetic attraction was last year lol. I really need to show it some love.
Me too..lol. That's why I'm going to swatch and see if any grabs my eye instead of buying on impulse because heavenly creature collection is being treated like a stepchild..loll
