Ugh! Now I'm thinking that I should have gotten PM blush! I thought At Dusk and Autoerotique were enough! I'm NW 20 or N2. Any other ladies with the same skin tone have it? How do you like it?

Erine, does the manual clarify what is qualified for b2m? I'm getting mixed info from all over. One says that LE lippies qualify as long as its in regular packaging and the other says it doesn't because it's a LE color.,

="AkeshialuvsMAC"I went and tried SS today.... it did nothin for me. So glad I didn't order it online[/quote] It's always better to swatch first. But I think that if SS doesn't work for you than maybe CC maybe CC will be a better fit. Did you try CC yet? Please forgive me if you mentioned that already. I don't have the time to go through all the posts I missed

If you are NW, PM could pull too orange on you. I'd be careful about that one and try it in store first. It's quite similar to Alpine Bronze MB. Was that one OK on you? PM is more natural and a bit lighter than AB (and of course a different texture).

You go to the one in Orange County? I keep thinking about going down there to check it out, but it takes a lot to drag me to the OC. If you've never had any luck there with anything good, maybe I better just go to the one in Ventura, if I manage to go to any of them. Blah. :(

Ok. I'm heading out to the mall tomorrow so I'll check it out. Thanks!

I'm NW20 and PM was the only blush I picked up! I really like it. But It can pull to much orange overkill if it's heavy handed. It gives a nice warmth though !

Yes I live in Orange County so that's the closest to me, sometimes I get lucky and I'm able to get stuff from the permanent line like pigments, lip liners, paintpots, a even some lipsticks but they hardly get anything new from LE collections. The last time I was there I was able to get Razzle dazzle and they had one of the Archies lipsticks...the brown one (can't remember the name) and some stuff from last yrs holiday collection and I think some nail polishes from the Marylin collection as well as some things from some old collection called Glitter and Ice . When I asked the girl how often they get new things, she told me once a month but they don't always get mac and what they get isn't always good and when they do get it it doesn't last very long. It's good if you like Bobbi Brown and Estee Lauder but I live for Mac so... lol....a lot of girls go to the one in Ontario Mills which according to them is decent but I've never been. I didn't know there was one in Ventura, I might just make a trip there soon

It's the only one I got too (NC15). Autoerotique gave me a drunk person flush. It just wasn't flattering, even though the color itself is beautiful. I'm glad to see it's working so well for other people. Meanwhile PM is such a beautiful combo of color + texture. I've got just about all the other EDBs and I think it's pushed its way into my top three, with At Dusk and Bareness, bumping Flaming Chic to #4.

Autoerotique was the blush I was originally going to pick up but it gave me the same exact flush. Not flattering! I can see PM being one of my top favs!

It does say what qualifies and what doesn't. I don't have the recent one, so i dunno what's listed, but if someone here does have a recent MAC chat transcript that they can forward to you, you can print that off and take it in. Many people have taken that in and have shown it to the people at counters, as it states that LE black packaging counts. I went in thursday and was able to get the PC lippies. It sucks that MAC changes up the rules whenever they want and that counters don't follow policy universally.

Is A Natural Flirt anything like All that Glitters or Naked Lunch??

Also, is Silver Dawn worth it?? (or what would be a MAC dupe for this shade?)

A Natural Flirt is a lot lighter than All the Glitters (which is closer to Sweet Heat). It is closer to Naked lunch, but a more pinky peach. And of course the formula is gorgeous. If you love taupy-grey shadows, than I would say that it is worth it. If you have smoke and diamonds, or something similar, you could perhaps skip it, but Mac has nothing in their permanent collection like it.
