I hate to give my age away, but I was a teen in the 70's. But I went back to college in the 90's so I love all of that, too. Plus I've always been into alternative music, etc. I try not to stay stuck in a specific time, I keep up with new music, even if I don't love much of it. I'm trying to balance that line between looking foolish because I'm trying to look too young, and looking/acting old. A lot of people my own age are getting boring because they're in ruts.

I was so into all that in the 90's, I was way grunge, dark lips, and flannel. Still love Docs too but I miss my tennis ball ones. LOVED them with floral dresses. I am sure you are still super awesome burghchick.

Put 'em on top of the gel!!  Regular nail polish comes off easy peasy with remover and the gels stay intact!

The only thing that sucks about is that gel polish lasts a lot longer on my nails than regular polish that's why I switched to gel ..and I was reading even putting a gel topcoat over regular polish isn't good :(

My Legendary Lure came yesterday when I was out and about and now I have to wait until Monday for a redelivery. When I checked my MAC order it said pending so I figured it wouldn't get here the day after even thought I opted for overnight shipping.

Still waiting on my order to come...after all this looking forward to it I only ended up getting 2 things! I got the Golden Bronzer (mainly for the compact LOL) and Pet Me, Please. I really wanted Aphrodite's Shell too but I'm trying to be good cause I'm expecting to go crazy on the Osbournes Collection!

I was just coming here to comment on that. I think she didn't like how light and sheer it was, but that's the reason I love it. Bronzers are usually heavy looking and too matte for my liking on my NW13 skin. I like the soft sheer color of AS, that's what made me buy it. Just because it doesn't pack a ton of pigmentation doesn't make it bad...

Finally got my lipsticks from the collection swatched! The link to my swatch video is in my signature if anyone wants to see how they look. I did some comparisons to other MAC lipsticks in my collection as well!

They all look gorgeous on you! Thanks for the vid! I don't feel so bad about skipping Mystical now since I have Cosmo.

Lol. Looking forward to @Mac-Guy's review of it.. Some of the swatches make it seem like it has this gorgeous pinky undertone and others it's like someone smeared radioactive dirt on themselves. Le sigh.

T's swatches really wash it out. It's darker than it looks on her under the lighting she uses and it does sort of have a pinky undertone. I think her swatches show the soft shimmer really well, but the color is washed out. I think it's really lovely and I like that it has a softer pigmentation. It's easier to build up without going overboard for us fair skinned girls. I'm NW13 for reference.

Thanks! I'm around the same skin tone as you and bronzers are a struggle for me. Might check it out in store..

I'm very pale as well which is why I ordered it. Hopefully it will come on Monday.

Wow awesome swatches! I was planning on getting two backups of SS and one of Mystical but now I feel like maybe I should just get one of SS and get one of the eye shadows...

Anyone stalking for the Nordies release?
