Lol! Thanks! Yeah I was like it looks so pretty but I have MR and should I get it? What should I do?? Then just freaked and ordered just AS because I've always known I wanted that one lol! All this thought process happened like in 2 seconds lol! But now I am wondering if I should've gotten Mystical too and that bugs me haha.

I'm getting out now before it implodes!!!
We have that exact same saying in German and I definitely heard it more than once from my parentsWe're in the low-buy thread for a reason - because we wanted to be more thoughtful and deliberate about our purchases. That doesn't mean no-buy, it just means no more 'buy all the new shiny'! I think most of us are trying to only buy items we love because we already have more than enough. While there may be quite a few nice items in many collections, it doesn't follow that we need to get them all.
If there are a couple you'd love and want, great. But just because someone else buys all the lippies and l/g it doesn't mean that they're 'must haves' and that we have to follow suit. Maybe others don't have the base of makeup we do. Maybe they're just starting out. Or maybe they'll be here in a few months when they realize that they're purchasing in a less measured way than they should. Either way, just because they're jumping off the bridge doesn't mean you have to. (Had to insert that - I'm a mother).

Yep I know the feeling. You have to make those split second decisions. Mystical was the one thing I knew I wanted. Went back for Silver Sun which was like a close second. Was considering a couple other things but went back and forth on them so I passed. Now I'm not sure. Lol. It's amazing how much of a process this is. Like MAC is the only cosmetic company that needs a forum for people to be able to deal with it.. Lol.

I know right? I only have this problem with MAC lol! I believe its because of the high number of LE collections. They make you feel like if you miss out on something then your collection will never be complete lol!

Pretty much.. I'm going to make myself a big neon sign that says "NEW and IMPROVED" - meaning that there will always be something similar later on and it will likely have a better formula than that thing I just "had to have" at the time.

I hope I like it since it's already sitting at home waiting for me lol. But I wasn't looking for anything amazing.. just an everyday color that's not as frosty as Morning Rose.

Then you'll like it - that's exactly what it is. Don't over apply or you'll get old lady lips.

Excellent.
That's what I was hoping for. I like a light lipstick application anyways so it should be perfect for me. Thanks!
Feeling uncomfortable about 1 extra item or a 1-2 item post-launch lemming is actually a pretty good sign for me that I'm headed in the right direction. I'm getting a lot more confident in my decisions and my success rate of love-like-hate has been about 80-10-10 this year.

Unsubscribed from Osbournes thread, think that's another collection I'll skip! Too many similar colours in my collet already and what with special packaging prices it isn't worth it for me. Just the lorde lipstick and 2 fluid lines from moody blooms on my mac list ATM As well as some permanent eyeshadows and relentlessly red lipstick!

I agree with Audrey it's not a unique color at all, I wouldn't go crazy to try to track it down but I love it. I'm a mom of 2 and my first thought was OH WOW this is the perfect color to wear to school events and stuff as it's not a BAM in your face color. I didn't get morning rose because of the frost. this is a perfect subtle everyday shade for me. I absolutely love it but it's probably the most easy to find a dupe for out of the collection.

Yeah definitely. If I missed it online I wouldn't be scrambling to track it down but it's a nice addition to my stash. The only similar color I have is MR which is cooler and frosty.

I need to unsubscribe from Osbournes, I'm starting to want Dodgy Girl even though I know I won't wear it, but I'm enjoying the conversation too much! I guess I just need some restraint. lol

I back 2 mac'd for plink! Today which is similar to nude rose which is one of the few lippies I'll throw on with confidence that it won't be too jarring on me. So every time I got to look at the lipsticks I pick up relentlessly red, then put it back down again as mattes doesn't sit comfortably on me so I dread to think how a retro matte would wear. I tried it on anyway, decided I didn't need another red pink so took it off and went with plink! When I got outside and saw myself in another mirror I was like OMG that colour on my lips is amazing Why are makeup hall lighting so crappy!.? So I susally wouldn't be chasing after more lips colours but I'm seriously impressed with that one It's been a while since my mac wish list has been so small and it's a good feeling!

I was kinda bad today. I picked up some Wet n Wild lipsticks I have been wanting for months but are always sold out in the stores near me. Vamp It Up, come to mama! Then Hello Waffle Cosmetics had a flash sale. I spent $40 on samples and some Colors of the Month. I have money, it's not like I'm broke or anything, but I should probably have spent less with Hello Waffle. I totally got caught up in the sale.
