Jeez, Bloomies is a mess. They are allowing you to pick up the collection in store online. I call and the MAC girl doesn't know what to do since it releases on Thurs. I mean why are they allowing us to do it then? Macy's never does for new releases but I've never really ordered from Bloomies on launch days to notice if they do. This would actually be a good way to do pre-sales so they don't have to get involved except for when clients pick up.

Yeah, so guys if the option to order in store shows up for you for Bloomies, don't do it (I realize I quoted myself, but I'm talking to you, hahah). They are hilarious. The MAC counter said the regular fulfillment has to do it since it's not at their counter yet (she had to call me back to verify that) then the regular online pickup dept said it was MAC (sku wasn't even coming up in their system). This 2nd girl had to go down to the MAC counter and speak to them directly to find out what was going on and call me back. Turns out it's still on a truck and won't be delivered until tomorrow night and my current pick-up order can't be used as a future/pre-sale. She told me to call first thing Thurs a.m to have them hold it for me. I'd rather get my Ebates so I just placed the order for Freshen Up to be delivered at home for free. My initial plan was to wait until it got to store to swatch it along with Refined Golden, but since it sold out everywhere else, I didn't want to do that then risk not getting one because they were all pre-sold at the store or they ended up only getting 6 or something else stupid that only happens with MAC

I think the rep said they had 35 on the truck though. Who really knows though, all the sa's have to get theirs first, lmao!

I can wait for RG, that hasn't sold out anywhere else yet and I don't really need it. I actually don't really need FU either

For my brows I sometimes use the Strawberry Blonde Veluxe Brow Liner pencil. It's OK - maybe a teeny tad too red - it'll be fine when i henna my hair.

Other times I use Omega matte eyeshadow in my brows - which may be a tad too dark (i use moisturizer and that darkens it a bit).

So i'm trying to figure out which of the new Eyebrow pencils - Delineated or Accentuated - will work better. Anyone know which is more neutral and cool taupe-y?

They were both neutral (leaning towards cool) IMO.The main difference was that Delineated is very light, and Accentuated is more of a medium-dark shade (as far as eyebrow products go). I'm considering getting them both.

If you have RR you're not missing much by skipping SH.

Just wanted everyone to know, concerned with Macys shipping, I purchased on 5/18 3:30am and I received an email it's shipped.

I wore my Golden Rinse all weekend and I have to say that I liked it. Its not super pigmented which is nice because I can go overboard with the bronzer if I'm not careful. It is not a dupe for AS, I don't know if I read that somewhere or what but it's much warmer and darker on me. I did some comparison swatches.

My CdN, FU, TD, DD, and RG arrived! CdN is close to my skin tone, maybe a shade lighter and TD looks almost as light, just more orangey. I was afraid it would be too orange, but I love it for summer! The biggest surprise is Refined Golden. Without direct light, in the pan it looks dark, (I was afraid too dark for my NC15/20 skin) but it's not. I think it is very close in color deepness to my skin prior to the anemia (slighty lighter than true medium; not sure what I was in MAC since I was using Guerlain.) On my currently NC15/20 skin, it's pretty good, not too dark. In the pan in direct light it looks more like a golden highlighter than a bronzer. And it also looks super shimmery in the pan, but not on the skin. Weird. I think I like it, though I need to play with it more.

I'm going to start trying self tanners soon and see how it works with them. Any suggestions? One really doesn't pay attention to how pale one really is until you visit or live in Florida. But I see so many ladies whose skin literally looks like leather! I thought this one woman was in her late thirties; she was 23!! Thank goodness I stopped tanning/sunning a long time ago! Downside, without makeup, since the anemia I look like a corpse. Not a pretty NC15/20 with healthy, pretty, pale skin, but an unhealthy zombie! Seriously, I look deceased. My skin and lips got a little color for a little while during the infusions, but now I'm back to being unhealthy pale with pure white lips. Okay, I'll stop whining now. And really, I'd love some self tanner suggestions!

Just got my goodies!!! Very pretty ! Here's Stream Heat with Creme D'Nude underneath, followed by Hipness & Delicates. Steam Heat feels very nice on the lips, and delicates swatched fine. It's definitely a paler bronzer but works fine for me!

Here's True Love's Kiss (left) and Steam Heat compared. Steam Heat is more opaque, more matte, and a touch warmer. I think they're just different enough... But barely. I could have lived without Steam Heat but at the same time I'm so happy I got it!

Wow!!! That's crazy!

I got my shipping notice from Nordies this morning saying I should get my package by May 27

. I wasn't going to order it but I just couldn't pass up on the 16% cash back and, like you said, I didn't want to wait until Thursday and then FU is SO. Skipper's remorse isn't a nice feeling

been there, done that.

Totally changed my mind on Freshen Up. LOVE IT. I guess all I needed to do was try it over fresh foundation and a more summery eye look. Totally digging it. Way warmer than what I normally wear, but I am sooo loving it.
