Lust is a really pretty shade. Fair warning: there are larger sparkles in this MSF. You can definitely see them on your face so another one that you might not like if you aren't keen to sparkly things!

I just swatched Lust on my hand; it was too sparkly for me to even want it on my face. I'm wearing Rio right now and it certainly puts down colour on me. I wouldn't wear it as a blush because it has too strong a shine for my own personal tastes, but I could from a colour perspective.

Ah, i was under the impression that you skipped Rio because you said it was too cool-toned on you. I'm actually a little confused now, is the "it" you were talking about in "I wouldn't wear it as a blush because it has too strong a shine..." Lust or is it Rio? Thanks for the clarification, and by the way, congratulations on your daughter's graduation!

Nothing at all to do with the topic at hand, but I know my fellow board moms will get it. My 18 year-old daughter is graduating from high school today and asked me to do her makeup for her. I offered to pick up the cost of having it done at MAC, but she preferred me to do it.

We spent a solid 40 minutes playing with red liners and the many many red lippies in the house to Frankenlip just the right colour and finish for her black and white dress. Now, I'm no MUA but I'm thrilled to bits that my late adolescent daughter still is happy to spend part of her special day with me and trusts me to create a look she's happy with (unlike the MAC artist who caked on foundation that was a very poor colour match).

Off to have fun with my 'baby' whose been taller than me for at least five years.

This is so awesome and sounds like a lot of fun and a good way to spend time together. How lovely that she chose you over having it done at MAC.

Well Simmer sure does look beautiful against your skin tone! Are you looking forward to trying it out? That is such a bummer that pros are excluded from free overnight. But at least you guys get your discount :)

Thank you. I'm looking forward to trying it out but I'm not as excited as I normally would be lol. I'm a bit more excited to receive Adored and the 159 brush...second guessing Lust though. I didn't bother to swatch it at the counter because I had already ordered it lol. Rio was one I considered but seeing it in person it didn't look like I expected (maybe the display was a terrible swirl combo). I need to eventually try listing in the Clearance bin...I have a ton of items that could use a good home from MAC and other brands. Might help me reduce some of this insane inventory I have anyway lol

Just got back from checking out the collection.

I bought another Adored. The peachy color is so pretty on the lid as an es! Time to Tango - GORGEOUS! such a pretty little color on. I picked out one that had A LOT of deep Periwinkle to it. I used it on the lid & cork in the crease

and..

My favorite - Rio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its so darn pretty on & didn't come out metallic. Love it!!! I got one with a lot of pink.

I liked Bossa Blue in person...some may feel its a bit too muddy, but I liked the color a lot & may get it later.

I passed on MM ls. All the MUA were wearing it & it looked fine, but I dunno it just didn't appeal to me for some reason in person. It is pretty though.

I know this is out of focus but it's the best way to show the sparkle in lust. Again, I love it but I know a lot of people LOATHE sparkle so hope this helps those that are ordering online! =D

Maybe Macy's just didn't get the memo because my Dillard's had it out. For whatever random reason my Macy's doesn't carry MAC (they suck!)

There's a macys near my sister's job with a counter, but I'm surprised all ATL macys don't have one.
