Loved seeing pics of everyone's hauls/swatches. I'm starting to have thoughts of stalking the Nordies release and picking up a few things I have crossed off my list. EO and Delphic being the top two items I wish I had gotten.

I am so tired of witches being burned in Salem Mass. Cuz it never happened, and nearly every TV show and movie keeps burning them.
The TV show "Sleepy Hollow" had them burning witches in Salem.
Then it had people from the late 16th century speaking "Old English" (which would be Anglo-Saxon) - actually they were speaking Middle English - that's Chaucer and that's 14th century. No wonder Americans have no idea about history.

Same for me ... The skippers remorse is huge for me right nowPlease, someone tell me I don't need Delphic. I skipped it thinking it had more glitter than shimmer but now I'm liking the swatches you guys been posting. Skippers remorse here.

GorgeousSo far, I love what I got. In these pics, I'm wearing Enchanted One and Delphic. I'm hoping that these pics will help some people decide on Delphic, because it's really hard to capture it in hand swatches. I used Worldly Wealth blush (which everybody needs) and a little Magnetic Appeal to highlight. I'm about an NC42 (if MAC made an NC41 that would probably be perfect) and it is subtle, but it shows up. On my hand, it looks like nothing, but on my face, it's definitely there. I'm using it as a contour/blush kinda thing. I love bronzey brown cheeks, so if you're into that, and warm toned, I'd give it a try (Thanks to Mac-Guy for the suggestion). Also, loving Water Deities and Mystical. They're great everyday colors. Don't wanna make this post any longer, but I also bought the Conceal and Correct Palette in Medium Deep. For my WOC dealing with hyper-pigmentation, please give it a try. The Burnt Coral alone is worth the $40, for me.

Awww I'm sorry. Hopefully it shows up soon. I stalking my packages down to the delivery minute. And then if I'm not home I call and make sure someone actually has it in their hand and has put it on my dresser for me. I'm obsessive.

That's very interesting! I haven't watched that TV show, but I won't be now that you have pointed out two of the major faults.

This is me when I got my black box and looked at everything!
This is me shortly after when I realized that I should have ordered 2x of products like Loreili and SS
I suppose that I need to stalk Nordies now. I was already planning on stalking for the blushes, but I need to add a couple of BU's to the stalk list. I tried to preorder the blushes at my local Nordstroms, and they supposedly put items on hold for me. But they did not take any credit card info and said that I can only pick them up after the 24th. OK so they are supposedly holding them for me when they are really "holding them" until they run out of product to sell. Then they will sell the "preorder." Not born yesterday.

Well, the lead actor, Tom Mison, is quite attractive - he's English and he is actually a good actor - when he has a good script. And he and the leading actress have good chemistry.
On the plus side, they had an actual glass harmonica playing music in an early episode.

Love the comparison swatches!! Thanks!I just got my black box! I only ordered Aphrodite's Shell online and will be getting the rest on the 22nd. I have to say, it is so gorgeous and actually unique to my collection, so I am happy to have it. I swatched it against a few of my bronzers and as you can see, it does have a hint of rose to it. For reference, I am NC25. From left to right: Aphrodite's Shell, MAC Nude on Board, MAC Sun Dipped, Nars Laguna, Too Faced Chocolate Soleil and Tarte Park Ave. Princess.

Nordies usually launches at a decent hour right? Like I can get a good nights sleep, wake up at 7am, order my items and go to work. No fuss no muss. Please tell me this delusion of mine is going to come true.
