Glad you called did you get your goodies?
yes ma'am. I forgot about the blushes though. I'll check them out in store. I only ordrered the eyeshadows. Everything else, I pretty much got from Nordies and Macy's online. I hope they have enchanted one and the blushes when I go later this afternoon, but I won't be too upset if they don't.

Dolly what did you get?

So was the collection released a day early then? If so, then anyone waiting for tomorrow for official release may find sold out items and won't be too happy.
Just at Nordstrom as far as I know. The CS person I talked to said they bumped it up for the half yearly sale.

So 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.

GORGEOUS! I must get EO now.

Oh and you're nc42? I would've thought we were about the same color, and I always go for nc44/45. I'm starting to think I don't know what color I am. LOL

Newbie here - not sure if this has been posted, but Nordstrom released the collection in store a day early. I just got back from mine and I got everything I couldn't catch online. Plus, I was the only one there. The MUA even said she only just heard about the early launch yesterday afternoon. Thought I'd mention it for anyone hoping to get stuff in stores! Go today, cause almost no one knows about it yet apparently.

Thanks for the video link @Addict4MAC ! I am glad I purchased refined golden not only for the beautiful packaging but it is a nice very subtle bronzer on me. I thought it would be wayy too shimmery but it doesnt really translate that way on my cheeks. I knew for a fact Delphic wouldnt show up on me but I'm glad it will work for you!

So Enchanted one is very beautiful but it reminds me too much of Velvet teddy and Cozy up and I have too many matte nudes already. But Mystical boy oh boy that is a beautiful shade! Definitely think I will need to Back this up on thursday! Goddess of the sea is beautiful as well dont think I will be wearing it too often that I would need a back up. I definitely need to work on getting my swatches up soon
