Did Macy's have Oxblood up? I don't see  the lipstick or the lipglass.
They are both currently still up! http://m.macys.com/shop/product/mac-isabel-ruben-toledo-lipglass-017-oz?ID=1916013&CategoryID=30077 http://m.macys.com/shop/product/mac-isabel-ruben-toledo-lipstick-01-oz?ID=1916012&CategoryID=30077

. LOL. (I have 2 Ripe Peach from the original collection so I was planning a tiny haul--a one lippie haul! lol).

Perhaps I should adopt your moto and pick up some more reds....

My Kindergarten Red arrived. My KR had a wee bit of the film but I scraped it off with the clear square plastic sheet that covered the blush. The outside packaging is gorgeous!

The white part is rubbery and the drawing on the front is shiny and smooth. It's like a tiny painting! :D The blush showed up fine once I removed the film, but I think you're paying a lot more for the packaging than for the product. The inside of the packaging is a total blunder for me and it's easy to get it dirty with fingerprints. The other blunder is that I find the square packaging too bulky for my liking. Comparing this with the Proenza Schouler blushes made me appreciate a lot more the latter blushes. As for the KD, the closest dupe that I can think of is Peaches and Cream, but KD is a lot softer and less noticeable than Peaches and Cream. I really like Kindergarten Red but I don't think it's $32 worth it.

I think it was MacCina who posted a link of Sarah' blog comparing RP with OC, so thank you so much for posting it!

I ordered Ripe Peach and Sin lipstick on the Nordstrom release, and went to sleep. Had I known that it was going to release at 7:00 am, I would've slept instead of checking every half hour, lol. I'm skipping Oxblood after all now that there are so many comparisons with Kinda Sexy (kinda meh on me) and Enchanted One (skipped it). It also reminded me of Cozy Up from Apes Chic which I also skipped. I'm still not sure about Azalea Blossom because I'm so happy with my Pink Sprinkles blush, but I won't mind if it gets sold out.

Glam my do you have Glam from last springs By Request? I wondered if Victoriana was similar. I have it and Stunner so I probably don't need another pinky red, but I like the packaging.

Thank you! Ooh! Sin is a shade that I have been wanting forever but somehow never seem to purchase. If I didn't manage to get Oxblood, I would have gotten Sin. It will look beautiful on you! OMG! I look like such a total troll without any makeup on. I'm glad you're werent utterly repulsed! Thank you so much! It's nice to hear that the lighting worked out, too. Why, yes! My dog, Puzzy, was running around while I was shooting the video. She even made an appearance at the end. I had have good results with KR. Just apply it with a blush brush to your face and it shows up. Lol! Swatches on the arm and back of the hand don't show much pigmentation. Thank you for the kind words. I thought I looked awful in that video. Thank you! I'm totally in love with Oxblood! Your were right to turn away! The eyeshadow palette is quite nice. You will want to add this to your collection. Although the brush is totally overpriced, it's better quality that the usual limited edition ones. Thanks for checking out my video! I love Oxblood! Surprisingly, I love the brush, too! Thanks for watching my video! Thank you so much! I purchased "Faint of Heart". It's very light pastel pink cruelly that is semi opaque in two coats. I like it!
thanks heather and u look beautiful I did end up ordering the bellgreens its to beautiful to leave behind thanks for your videos they are always so helpful
