I'd like to see this stuff in person but I'm just going to order online.  I get 90% of my stuff online.  My nearest counter is 45 minutes away and the crowds stress me out.
Yeah for me too, or more like an hour (at least) depending on traffic. And I'll have my 3 year old with me so..... online it is! Now just more impatiently waiting.

@BrknFlwr85 I don't think its crazy that you want to skip AS! In my case I think its pretty unique in my collection and from what I've seen from swatches it isn't really shimmery, which is great! You have to buy the things you know you are going to use and have nothing like it already

You are definitely right about buying things that we will get a lot of use out of and offers something unique to our collections. I try to stick to that, but if I'm being completely honest with myself, I shouldn't be buying any makeup at all.

I will be going in store to swatch AS and see if is something that I can use. I only have completely matte bronzers and really shimmery ones, so one with a subtle sheen would probably be nice to have.

O
i really need to go to the cco.. there's one near my parents' house. i guess i also need to go visit my parents.:shock: i was an art history major undergrad, and one of the big things i remember about this is that it was commissioned by the medici family, who had oranges worked into the paintings they  commissioned. sooo the trees along the banks in the back right are orange trees.  fun fact of the day.
Orange trees LOL ::::))))

Exactly. I can wait the weekend to get my stuff if that means going in store. I actually hope they have moved it up lol So I can be done with this collection.
I just realized I get paid the Friday before, so I'm ok with the Monday release now yay

Maybe in January when I go to the States I'll find AS at a CCO and buy 4

one of the only reasons this might not land in CCO's in too much volume, is the packaging.. lol.

it's quite unique and most of the rabid collectors will want it for that alone.. that's why I want it. I don't need another bronzer. I don't need another blusher.. and the lippies are meh at best. But the packaging

Fine. Maybe I'll get the Givenchy Summer bronzer for $66 and skip this collection completely! Because my MAC list is already over that, so the Givenchy is looking like a steal! (is that good makeup logic?)

it's more logical to buy an item you absolutely LOVE.. than a mediocre product which you like.. you will use it more and enjoy it more. Logic, as defined by the Greeks.. no, makeup does NOT fit into any form of logical thinking.
