Another BBW look!  Credit to elbauldeeleanor on IG.

Swatches made this look like a deeper orange.

I just bought Fruit Cocktail when I made my Cinderella purchase and I think I'll get FS to pair it with. I kept going back and forth with FS and BK but skipper's remorse is worse for me than buyer's remorse. Lol, my final list is Summer Opal, LJ x 2, FS and BK. Hopefully it won't be too crazy to buy lol

Thanks for the pic! It looks like this is more citrine (gemstone) in color whereas Sounds Like Noise is more Cheetos-like. I almost want to buy it to compare but I don't want any color like it anymore.

So Nordstrom online chat just told me it's gonna b on their site on the 3rd and stores the 5th?! So not the 2nd I'm so confused

Tried to upload the convo but it's moving slow but yea that was it

Is it still going to be in stores this Thursday even though the release date was pushed back?

That would be so out of the regular schedule for them to do a Tuesday morning/Monday night launch but I guess we'll see.

I'm wondering the same thing. My mac counter soundec unsure about when they would have it

 

[Kaipie20]

Called some Pro stores 1 says thrusday the other said they don't know if they'll get it since it's limited locations. And my Nordies that gets everything says as of now they won't have it so it's kind of all over the place

Yours says that you spoke to a MAC Artist whereas Kai's said Beauty Specialist. Maybe there is a communication mix-up between the MAC SAs and the regular SAs?

yea I just noticed that 2. Idk I'm just gonna stay ready! But before I was speaking with someone and they transferred my chat 2 the beauty person so yea must b confusion. Hopefully they figure it out

 

[Vandekamp]

I really love this but it seems pretty dupe-able, no ?

I would have to agree with you.

It seems that way. I went to a MAC page on Nordstrom and did my chat from there...perhaps that is why I spoke to a MAC artist?

Doesn't look like Christine / Temptalia will be reviewing the Bao Bao Wan collection before the release. When asked if she was reviewing this collection, she said that she had no products to review! Am guessing that Karen didn't receive any samples either.

Fingers crossed that I am wrong!

 

[BellaInPink]

All MAC has to do is press that little 'add to bag' button and we're good hehe :-D

 

[cowabungadude]

Love how pink it is on her! I wish it was that color on me too

How does this show up on you ? BC I'm not as fair as she is.

If you go back in the thread, you can see @jenise posts about this, including swatches. It pulls more coral than pink on her. It's very similar to Toying Around.
