You are most welcome, and it was very helpful! I am definitely buying Aphrodite's Shell, and your pictures are gorgeous. Thanks so much!

Edit: btw. Your blog also inspired me to get my butt down to Chanel for the new Chanel Les Beiges healthy glow powder, and I ran out this afternoon and got it! Glad that you recommended #01, over #02 and that's the one that I got :)

I did the presale cause I have a giftcard :x bahaha
What did you decide to buy? I meant to comment on the pics you took with the bronzer. Perhaps AS would be a bit better because apparently it has a bit of a pink undertone? I haven't seen it in person, but judging by some of the fair skinned beauties who have been buying it and posting pics, it might be nice on you! Just a thought.

So tired of thinking and the contracting and expanding list...

no sleep so we can stalk

since so many of these products are probably not going to work on my face, I am adding the EDES back to the list, the problem is they are all so pretty I have such a hard time deciding on just a few, so screw it, I am going get all the ones I think I will love, Loralei, Sea Worship, Fathom's Deep, Soul Serenade, maybe more

AS for sure, the COMPACT and whatever bronzer is in it (I may actually get RG, I think it will work better for me) and use for layering purposes, either way I am popping that sucker out and putting a powder in it, probably my P&P transparent one...

Mythical I think is a no go for me because if it looks like Cosmo it will be doo doo lips for sure on me
That leaves PiMP, GOtS lipsticks EO and maybe Siren Song, I can't decide yes or no
I think the blushes are fairly dupeable, I like SMHM but I am gonna wait for something prettier
The brushes I am drooling over, virtual orgasm looking at them on T's review...
Same here!

She hasn't given them a grade yet though, has she? Not that I care--LOL. They both look amazing!

i bought the two lipsticks i was looking at, mystical and siren song.

ALSO have a mac giftcard, so i am def going to pick up AS with that. my skin is weird in that it has a really slight yellow overtone, but i flush pink and i am very fair. any foundation products with pink look awkward, so i lean neutral/yellow in foundations, but blushes etc for pink tones usually look pretty nice.

thank you for remembering that! <3 it definitely helps!!!

odd question- do any of you have AS and either NARS orgasm, benefit dallas or ocean city that could swatch them side by side?

i dont think that they are similar at all, but i want to see it next to something that i own for reference!!

That's great that you can go and see it in person! And I'm sure that those lipsticks will be beautiful on you!

btw: I think that you are an English prof, correct? I am too. :) We English nerds love out makeup

i always find myself painstakingly correcting DUMB mistakes i make on here. i keep telling myself it doesn't matter, and then i'm like 'oh dangling modifier CAN'T HAVE THAT.'

I've known for a week that they are doing pre-sales. I am not doing the pre-sale because I just dont trust the Nordstrom ladies at the stores I go to lol. If you have a Nordstrom near you, i say call to confirm if your area is doing it.
Thanks Dolly!

That's true. That's why I stopped doing presales too.

It's a curse. You start correcting grammar everywhere...

What is the current date for the launch of this collection? I remember reading on here some people saying 12/13th then the 15th. I just called MAC and the girl told me she has "absolutely no idea" and that she didn't even know of the collection until people starting calling and asking about a date...I can't even. And Nordstrom just told me the 22ndish Anyone know ?

Supposed to be 22nd in stores, 15th online I believe. But I heard maybe 12th on Nordies? I'm not sure, I'm pretty confused. I'm just afraid I'll miss it! The online opportunities are the only ones I have since I live in the middle of nowhere.
Is it launching on Macy's?

Yes thank you, I can read. I've noticed that sometimes dates on the headers of threads don't always get updated so I think it was a fair question to ask. I've heard people tossing out all diff dates and apparently I'm not the only one who still isn't sure
