One of the workers there told me it is done by how much business they get and they have letter grades. If I remember correctly, they are rated A, B, and C. If the CCO is rated an A, they have first pick of products to sell in their location. B gets second pick and C gets last.
Interesting, thank you!

I placed an order on Close Contact l/s and cannot wait to get it. I have Amorous Alloy and Platinum Love EDES sitting in my cart now. I also cannot wait to get Morning Rose l/s, Pleasure Model ED Blush, Autoerotique ED Blush, Magnetic Appeal EDSF and Fairly Precious EDSF.



I hope you won't be disappointed like I was with Close Contact . I tried it on at the Mac store and was so sad that it looked like I was turning into a zombie and felt milky. Not cute at least on me. Glad to see its working for others.

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.
Thank you Erine for passing that info on to me. I believe half of the time the MUAs realize that they did misinform me but they are too proud to admit it. I am so grateful that my sister purchased the SS lipstick for me instead of letting it slip away.

Your best bet is to just keep trying until you find a counter that will let you. Call ahead of time and ask, and if they say yes, get the name of the person who you talked to. That way when you get in there and you're told otherwise, you can tell them exactly who told you that you could. They can override the rules (as long as it's $15 and a lipstick) without any issues, so if you're being told yes, they need to do it.

Wore Morning Rose today and a little bit of Pleasure Model on the cheeks. It was a rainy day so I couldn't get a great pic and I was lazy with the rest of my makeup. I really like PM although I should have applied more for it to really show. MR wore pretty well for a Cremesheen (5 hrs with drinking and no touchups). It was still going strong when I took it off. PM looked the same as when I put it on despite how light I applied it.
very nice and subtle

Swatches on the NC20 skin:
1. Pleasure Model and Superb (l-r)





2. Morning Rose and Carnal Instinct (l-r)




In my opinion Carnal Instinct is similar to the lipstick Caliente. CI is a more brown.

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?)
I swatched some other Mac colors with Silver Dawn and didn't find any dupes. The closest is a discontinued color called Smoke and Diamonds. I did some research and I think I'm going to purchase Makeup Geek single eyeshadow in Moondust as a 'dupe' for Silver Dawn.

Everyone looks so gorgeous in Morning Rose! I'm tempted!
It is absolutely beautiful on, and so easy to wear! It's one of those quiet lipsticks that sneaks up on you, but then WOW! You fall totally in love! It's well worth the money in my opinion. In fact, I have had so many compliments, I am seriously considering back ups!

It's Physical, different shots cause of not-so-good lighting. Glad I picked it up! 
Gorgeous! I skipped these because I haven't used the ones I picked up from a previous collection (can't even remember which collection it was! Wow!) but this looks similar to one of those. I really need to go back through my stash and actually use some of this stuff. THIS is how I know 2013 has been a hi-buy year lol
