Thanks, honey. Is your blush working now?
Two days straight i am wearing it. I have a love hate relationship with that one, and I might be a little obsessed with it too. I love how nice it looks on my cheeks but hate how bad it swatches( bad blogging habits). Anyway after your post, I stopped scratching and wasting product, instead used a dense brush and it almost over applied on my cheeks, the result is really stunning. :heart: Big love starting with hate, it was so unexpected
 
I only bought the Ruby lipstick but if I knew the packaging was going to be this gorgeous I would have bought one in every color!!! It's so pretty in person!!! Pictures just don't do it justice... pure LUXURY

From some photos people have posted here, it looks like the silver Mirror has been labeled Gold Mirror and is in a box labeled Gold Mirror -- and Gold Mirror is just labeled (silver) Mirror and in the (silver) Mirror box.

So they'll just keep sending the wrong thing because of the mislabeling if you keep ordering the same thing...

I'd tell them to LOOK IN THE BOX to verify it's the correct product, but i doubt that will actually happen, i.e., that they'll look in the box. Everybody's on a time clock and they have very little time to pick, pack, and ship each order. Dumb, dumb, dumb with mislabeling issues.
Yah, In order to get the lip glass you want, you have to order the opposite, which is what I did yesterday. But of course, the girl put in the wrong order. I called today and said for her to put in an order for Gold Mirror. I called back 30 min to later to check my order number and Gold mirror is on the order. Hopefully they get it right this time.

Looks
I did not expect to luv Corol so much. Crappy low-light-end-of-the-day-greasy-moisturizer-face photo but I liked it with Fuchsia in Rage today

Does this make me famous now? LOL Just kidding.

It's nice to be acknowledged though. Thanks for posting the link. And a million thanks to @HerGreyness for sending it.

I don't want to be famous - eeek! I'm happy to see we can be a good influence for bloggers out there. This hand swatch concept isn't always the best tactic with how light and sheer and yet pigmented so many products are now. Your readers will be steered in the right direction!!!
Great to see this blush looking so natural and beautiful on WoC - I had a good feeling about that.

Very lovely, ladies!

Plus i've gotten Woodwinked and Siren Song this year, so i'm not in a big rush for more neutrals -- altho i am hoping to test Kelly's Strip Poker...
PB is lighter and pinker than SP, which is just a hair deeper and a little heavier on the nude tan in it. They're both very nice for NW. PB was a little too corpse-lips for my NC15 and SP was a teeny bit less, but also heavier looking, due to the finish. For me, Woodrose is five zillion times more beautiful than either.

I'd say no. How many nudes does one person need? Especially ones that are supposed to be super subtle like this quad. Find the perfect ones for you out of what you have and if none of them are perfect enough, then keep looking around until you find it.

The quad is tempting but I feel like it's worth taking a look at what you already have first before committing.

I was worried about Corol after the hand swatches were so light but I used a not-so-dense little fluffy blush brush and I didn't need to do much at all.

Today I picked up a back up of corol blush it's so pretty not just the packaging of the compact but the blush it self is I also picked up roxo I know it's not unique but the finish in that color is for me in my collection which is nice when I don't feel like wearing a matte. ;) I also picked up mirror which of course they gave me gold mirror and thanks to you ladies I checked before leaving and had them change it. I really love it!! I wore it over stone l/l

Well I just got off the phone with mac cs. They are going to overnight the correct mirror to me and I should receive it by Friday. Now I have two gold mirrors. I guess I'll give one to my sister. 
My friend had this same encounter with them. They sent her replacements the exact same way her first order was. She says they told her they can't fix them so it is what it is. They will just be incorrectly labeled. It was either try to get the order sent in reverse to get the correct items this time, (which should've been done the first time she called anyway) or be refunded so she chose the refund. I'm late on reading so I'm sure this post is out of order...
