No-- I stopped by my local MAC yesterday and they had some products out (the ones that are now up online). No lip markers, no contour duo. The pencils are nice, the quad is ok (the carbon didn't seem like a 'good' one at least the tester one). I didn't pick anything up, but I might pick a pencil the next time. Or maybe I won't. :nixweiss:

Agreed! Looking at the upcoming collections now, this is just too plain for me. I just need to start saving for the more 'fun' collections.

Thanks, I think I'll try it. Always in search of a good black liner.

While i tend to go for extreme colors and finishes, a good basic everyday neutral collection is good for many people. Most people can't wear green or blue lipstick and glitter on their eyelids to the office :)

OMG LOL it's finally up for sale. Rather than order blind, I'm hoping it drops in stores. I need to get to the mall to get some tranquil oil anyway.

I haven't really noticed any difference between them, but I haven't used the regular one for years so it's a little hard to remember? I just like the pretty blue color! :)

I believe the regular one is a bit stronger, the tranquil one is gentler and for sensitive or dry skin. I don't have sensitive or dry skin, however, so now that you ask I'm not sure why I keep buying the tranquil lol.

Sorry, should have said that in my original reply. To be honest, I've tried different cleansing oils over the years and they all work fine and none have caused any problems for me.

i really like lancome oil, and especially their cream to oil . i have full bottle of clinique oil i bought i still haven't tried it.
the only one i didn't like too much was loccitane - it's just ok, but doesn't clean enough especially if wearing heavier makeup.
regular mac oil i like it's really good. my skin is dry but it works great for me

please let us know if you try the cream duo. my quad should arrive tomorrow

Quick stop at my local MAC this morning to look at the Brandt contour duo. Both shades feel like CCB's. The lighter shade is very much like "Luna squared"--it's a near-white that's well pigmented. Like an amped-up Luna. It's pretty. The darker shade is a cool chocolate milk-toned color. It's cooler than most bronzers out there. As @dominic_mua had discussed layering them, I've added a quick finger-swatch so you can see the effect (light shade over dark).

If you don't have a cream duo, this is a nice one. Definitely runs cool in my opinion, but good contour colors can.

The deeper shade may have been a bit too deep/cool for my NC15 skin tone. This has a similar vibe to the (much more expensive) Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate cream contour palette, so it's nice to see something at this price point. I didn't pick it up but I can definitely see someone loving it.
