I think I have "walking pneumonia" and really have no business even thinking about going outside to get this nonsense! I hope you feel better soon too!

I'm just now getting over the cough. I still have a bit of it left, along with some of the sinus crap and some fluid in my ears. 2.5 weeks now. It sucked! After a week of it and a bottle of robitussin not working, i went theu an entire bottle of mucinex and that finally started to help. Ugh i was miserable! Yesterday was the first day that i actually felt almost 100%.
Hehehe I LOVE this!! I think these deep colours are beyond sexy!! <3 XxSo I just posted my collection thoughts over in the Magnetic Nude thread, and figured I'd do the same here since I'm so in love with all of my new goodies!!!
I'm an NW45/NC40 and I basically bought everything. Hahaha!
My Nordstrom haul was:
All 4 lipsticks (Studded Kiss, Instigator, Punk Couture, Hautecore)
All 3 lipglasses (Jet Boy, No Apologies, Dark Outsider)
Studded Kiss is the most wearable red I have ever worn. I thought Viva Glam I was, but nope. I can't wait to rock Studded Kiss at work & feel like a badass instead of feeling like people are staring. It's a conservative place, even though there aren't really any rules about makeup/dress/appearance. I love Studded Kiss so much. It's super flattering on my skin, and another that I just want to rub all over my lips. I compared it with every reddish colored lipstick I have, and Viva Glam I and Carnal Instinct come the closest, but VGI is redder and CI is more coppery.
Instigator is really pretty too! Because I have a dark pigmented lip, this one isn't so dramatic on me, but that's great! It reads as a dark raisiny purple on me, and again, something fairly wearable. I don't know if I'd wear it to work just because it is still on the darker side, but I'm not entirely opposed to it. I felt like this one probably had the best formula of the group, close in feel & application to SK.
Punk Couture is fierce and I like it. I was surprised by how wearable this one turned out to be too! It's purple, but it's not like puuuuuuurrrrrple. I feel awesome wearing this one. I've had a few purples, but none have been this saturated and quite this blue toned (they've been more pink toned like Narcissus or Maybelline Lavender Voltage, and Heroine), so I'm really happy to finally have this one. Another that I love.
Hautecore. I almost saved this one for last. I never expected to feel this way about a black lipstick. I bought Hautecore just because I felt like I should. As I was applying it to my lips, I thought that I was ruining this collector's item, but once I had it on, I really liked it. It's my first black lipstick, and I really like it!! And then I put on Dark Outsider on top of it, and I was even more in love... and so was my husband! He could not stop raving about it, and when I threw on some blush & looked at him seductively, he told me to stop teasing him that way because that lipstick made him feel all tingly.Hahahaha!
I was kind of disappointed in Jet Boy and No Apologies. I really expected them to be more pigmented than they were. On my lips, Jet Boy only really darkens my existing color & gives some depth (which I actually like, but I expected more). No Apologies just looks like sheer lipgloss. I barely even noticed the purple shimmer, and the color did nothing for me at all. Even over other colors, these didn't seem to do anything. I'm actually thinking about keeping Jet Boy because I do like the effect of "my lips but darker," but No Apologies is pretty worthless to me. Dark Outsider is also useful for that purpose, but I do like the shimmer in Jet Boy, as light as it may be on me. I'm disappointed, but with so many other wins, I REALLY needed to send something back anyway. Hahaha!
I hope maybe this helped someone who was on the fence before the MAC launch!!

I was trying my best to not pay attention to this collection right now and just going to Macy's after work to see what i could find........what is this girl doing? Stalking the website since now I'm scared it'll sell out. I only want PC & Instigator.......and maybe SK. Someone mention here that because of specktra they're buying all these lipsticks and I started thinking.....my lipstick collection is huge right now, I went from having like 4 Mac lipsticks to like 25 (probably more lol). I have no regrets though I love every single color, and I'm a proud Mac addict

Mine was supposed to get here yesterday, and the tracking said it was delivered, but nothing came all day. And then magically today it showed up on my doorstep... I don't know if a neighbor got it by mistake and dropped it off today, or what, but I'm considering it a Christmas miracle lol

I'm in the same boat! I've already got all 4 lippies but I can't stop stalking just in case I want backups. SK is my favorite of the four but I think PC will be the hardest to get a BU of later on so I may do it. Decisions, decisions...

I've never seen a MAC counter open later than the store it's in. At least not any of the ones I've ever gone to. That's odd. They aren't a separate store within the store but just a counter. It would be different if they had a store inside the store but none of the MAC counters I've been to are like that.
