So is the jury not out re the GDs?
I haven't gone in to MAC to swatch any yet. I keep hearing mixed reviews. At first it was all very negative and that they were too pigmented and practically glitter bombs. Now, I'm hearing that some people like them. I should just get my arse into town and check out MAC in my lunchtime and swatch for myself but I can't be bothered because I know I'll be rushed and end up having a 2 hr break (I work in the 'burbs). *sigh. I'll have to wait 'til Sat.

^^I'm voting the Grand Duo's guilty!!! Guilty of being too beautiful.
I'm going back for a 3rd one on pay day, just have to decide which one.

When the Myer MA put it on me I looked like a disco ball, but when Kira put it on me it just looked fresh and pretty, not at all overly shimmery! It's really pretty and she suggested using it over something more "very pink" to soften the look. I'll have to use it myself and let you know what I think

I never had any problem with GD. If I had the money, I would buy them all.

what did you order nat??
i'm only after lollipop loving... she said that the MSF's are not so good.. so i'll skip that one.. now i'm thinking of getting one of the shadestick... should it be 'butternutty' - 'penny' - or 'cupcake' (is it cupcake or..? it's the greyish green one)??

I ordered, Cakeshop s/s, Red Velvet s/s, Lollipop Loving l/s, Sweet Thing l/s, Saint Germain l/s, Dear Cupcake e/s and Aquavert e/s. I skipped MSFs too. I am looking forward to playing with Shadesticks, since it is a new formula! Yay, even Karla said it is really nice and soft..

OOh so the shadesticks are in a new formula? Might have to rethink them then...
I think I am just going to get the tri glosses - I LOVE glosses.
I have too many eyeshadows (which I don't use because I just don't have time in the mornings) so I really can't justify getting them. Although I am tempted with club. I already have the purple/pink one whose name escapes me at the moment...*hangs head in shame*
Random question - for you ladies that work in offices and such, do you do an eyelook usually and how do you find the time? By the time I do my hair, face and eyebrows, I barely have time for gloss and mascara! :S

I work in an office and I tend to sacrifice my hair for my makeup. lol.
My hair is long so it takes 2 seconds to whip it up in a neat bun or ponytail. Or I straighten it the night before so it takes minimal effort in the morning.
I agree, Lollipop lovin' looks great... might pick up that one. Do you reckon we'll be able to B2M for that?
Cakeshop s/s looks great too... looking at all the titles of the collection makes me want to go to a bakery. lol.
I'm going into MAC at lunch today to swatch GDs (finally). Perhaps I should leave my credit card at work...? So I don't go overboard with this -

Haha Dark Orchid! I have to agree with CatsMeow.. I have been wearing my hair up everyday, because I just don't have the time to do anything with it in the morning. If I am in a rush, I put a wash of eyeshadow, highlight, eyeliner pencil (easier for me than gel/cream liner) and mascara. Then if I find I have an extra 5 min, then I would put tiny bit of darker e/s on the crease.
CatsMeow, I am sure you can B2M for Lollipop Loving. Woo hoo for the MAC trip!

Personally I think Cakeshop s/s is the most unique out of this round of shadesticks

erine1881 has said that these arent technically a new formula even though they feel creamier... could be that they have only been manufactured recently?
The purple/pink one is Stars'n'Rockets
I dont do anything to my hair when I'm going to work... it's really long so all I do is wash it, brush it and go
Its pretty straight so I dont have to worry about it so much.

Yep, we will be able to B2M for lollipop loving as it's not in special packaging.
Good luck with the GD's!!
