Here's a rant for you: I skipped my local NYC MAC altogether and went into jersey for my items. Sat there, waited an hour, only for new people to come up at the last minute and try to act like there was no line. So then me and the 2 girls I waited most of the time with decided to make a line. That ish did NOT matter. MAC opened the door and it was like back to 1998 tickle me Elmo Black Friday again.... Instead of MAC accepting what we were offering which was all of us in line ready to go one by one, they said out loud to pick your artist and they'll get your items. WTF DID WE WAIT FOR THEN? There was about 4 people who didn't get their items because someone AFTER them got to it first because of MAC's great idea. So I ended up just buying one of everything limited because it was a real MADHOUSE RUSH. I couldn't even swatch until after purchasing. To top it off the store hired freelancers who didn't know what products were what - so in my head I'm thinking "If you make me miss out on that blush because you didn't update yourself this morning on what was in this collection I'm going to curse at you." So when I did swatch I found a few things out: Diamonds ccb is gorgeous on lighter skin. IMO it's too light and frosty for nc45+ Who's that chick I absolutely hated. It's a very goldy orange on nc50. Too retro looking for me. Put some chestnut around it and it's welcome back 1992. Talk that talk is gorgeous! So is nude, which sold out first. I can honestly say after seeing it now that nude is a brown girl color. The few lighter skinned ladies that I saw try it said it's either too dark, too gray, or too brown for them. Some girls were saying night moth is sooo close to talk that talk but I don't see it. It's more purple to me. I see the similarities but I still had to have ttt liner. The bad girl gone good is nice on paler faces and yes it is warm, but beautiful. On nc50 and darker it seems powdery on application but as it wore it turned into a nice peachy color. If you have coppertone or the one pro burnt color (can't remember the name), I'd say skip it. Hibiscus kiss I had to get for the packaging. That powder I don't want at alllllll. Its better quality than the one I have from RIRI summer but it barely shows on me so that's going to be depotted and sold so I can add my fix powder or careblend powder instead. Overall the brushes are much better than most of the SE ones released in the last year or so. I'm surprised I really LIKE them. The brow pencils blah. Eyelashes blah. Quads blah. The RIRI pencil I skipped too. I think MAC could've done better than that red considering there was just 2-3 red plw pencils released not even a month ago. RIRI woo is another one that I'm somewhat annoyed about. Why not add something new that people could be excited about? I'm getting sick of RIRI everything now...I'll stop before I get more into what I really feel lol
