Can you believe that I've already finished six tubes of Tropical Mist? SS is only frosty if you cake it on, but with just a few swipes, it's the perfect nude.

You can still catch SS in store. Good luck hunting it down. You deserve it, babe!

Anywhere between 1 to 3 days. Usually it happens within the first day depending on popularity of products!

lol I felt that way too. I had ample time to decide that I didn't want anything from this but I still stalked MAC. Then, when it launched I was like, hmm, what should I get?

That was so me! I had a list on my phone, but when the time came I was trying to decide what would be the best use of my $$. I didn't want to spent a lot because my husband and I are putting hardwood floors in our house this fall, so we need to save up for that. I tried to be selective!

Then in my decision making, a couple of items I considered sold out. I'm probably going to get PMP lippie when it releases at Nordstrom though. MAYBE I will get another eyeshadow. I have hazel eyes so they are calling to me!

More recommendations for fair NW:

I sincerely can recommend both blushes. The texture is wonderful and they add a summery glow. They are not super pigmented, which I actually like, especially as I was not a big fan of the initial releases of the EDB. SaS is looking orangey in some swatches, but it is still NW friendly, especially if you use it in combination with a bronzer (mind you, if you don't like to wear bronzers, I recommend to try SaS out in store and see how it looks like). It is a more unique shade as it has more depth that adds a glow. SaS has bronzey undertones, which I blame for looking orange in some swatches. SMHM is a no brainer for NW. It is just gorgeous coral-ish rose shade which adds a natural flush to the cheeks with a very subtle bronzey undertone. Both blushes melt into the skin (this is an issue which I had with previous EDBs). If you only get ones blush, it will be a hard decision. SaS is more fashion forward, SMHS is more conservative. But both are gorgeous = modern, glowey, office friendly, buildable.

I just realized that the ED eyeshadows are the same price as they are when they don't have special packaging...so they're really not THAT expensive..

I'm proud to say I stuck with low buy for the whole month. I got the stuff I know I will get a lot of use from and I don't feel like I need to get everything.
My Alluring Aquatic haul consists of 3 lipsticks, 1 bronzer compact and 1 edes.

I got tons from magnetic nude EDES already which gets circulated quite a bit so really I got one Alluring Aquatic EDES just for the packaging.
Skipped the blushes because I have a whole palette full of perm and LE blushes from past years and I really do not need anything new.
I skipped the purple lipstick because I realized I have x2 of every purple lipstick mac released since Reel Sexy's Heroine, so I really don't need it.

It was a good day!
