UPS tracking finally showed some results for me today.... My palette will be delivered in Laredo, TX on Thursday... I now have to hope that someone can make a trip. :anyone:

My palette arrived - I'm SO glad I got it. I like the packaging a lot better in person that I did online. I'm not a fan of grey, but it doesn't look as cheap as the pics make it out to be. FWIW, my Satin Taupe is a dupe for my single pan version, Deep Fixation is much redder than Antiqued and Psyche is NOTHING like Sumptuous Olive (completely different colour and finish). Can't wait to play with this tomorrow!

What do you think about Psyche? I just wore it on my outer V but I thought it had a greyish tone to it yet still green. I don't have Sumptuous Olive but I have a Limited Edition e/s that is similar (name escapes me at the moment). I didn't think Psyche looked like that color either. I only tried 3 other colors from the palette so far. No swatches but just wore them in a look. I need to work on the rest of the colors.

on me, psyche looks really olive-y. i'm not too sure how to use it?

Here is the Gravitas Satin Taupe vs The permanent version. There is a slight difference but nothing like the extreme difference Temptalia's swatches show.

I think it would look gorgeous smoked out really dramatic all around your eyes! With your red hair... Lovely

Anyway you want. All over your lid, then gently take it into the crease. Add a little soft brown to your crease, blend and Gorgeous!

Sumptuous Olive has more yellow and a stronger sheen. I usually wear it over the lid (with something a bit brighter on the inner portion like All That Glitters) a muted transition shade and then a brown or purple in the crease. I usually rotate through my eyeshadows pretty regularly but I'm going to let myself just play with this palette to get to know it a bit for the next week or so.

I'm 90% certain there's no Back2Mac in Germany. There definitely isnt in Denmark or Sweden though. Finland has Back2Mac and I'm quite certain that Estonia has aswell. I havent tried in the UK but I'm thinking they probably do aswell.

Finland belongs to a different Mac district than the rest of the Nordic countries, under Poland (One mindless decision by Mac again. They seem to know nothing about culture). That might explain it. I have done B2M in the London Pro Store on Foubert's Place. No problems with pots without pans. They did not inspect them other than count them (I had 12 the last time).
