I don't have any pans... so I think I will be Ok. We'll find out, I suppose.

I certainly think they are. Check the C-Shock swatch thread. I was just there and the eyeshadows are gorgeous, bright, clear and vibrant. They remind me of the primaries on a color wheel, only shot-full of pigment.

I just saw the swatches in the swatch thread and they are pretty nice. I REALLY REALLY want Bang on Blue. I think I'll pick up that one and Wondergrass when the collection comes out and then go back for the others later.

I'm thinking of doing that myself. I really really really want Bang on Blue as well. I think I'll get that, Wondergrass, and Going Bananas.

I'm also going to pick up the Blast O' Blue lipstick because...well, blue lipstick--now that I'm thinking about it, I'm probably going to buy a backup as well--and the Vivacious lipstick. After that, I'm just going to hope that the rest of the collection will still be there so I can go back for the rest later. Money is the bane of my existence.

Now that I see swatches on skin (posted by battipatti), I'm getting ALL of the eye shadows.....I CAN rock these colors even though I'm a 51 yr old grannie!! Can't wait.....

the pro stores (theres one in LA, TX, NY, Las Vegas, San Fran, and a few others I forget) put out collections earlier then the freestanding stores, sometimes depending they will put it out anywhere from a week to three weeks early

they havent done 2 or 3 in a long time though.

but hope that clears it up

Yup... the pro store in LA always gets their collections in a week before the actual release date. You can bet I will be there on Thursday to get it first!!!

if you ask me, they need to have more Pro stores in more locations rather than just mainstream metropolis like cities. i live in jacksonville, fl and the closest Pro store is about 4 hours drive in orlando. one of these days i am going to make a trip there, does anyone in the jax area want to make a day trip with me to orlando one of these days?

I'm in the same boat(disabled, and living with my mother). My mother is just sort of amused by my MAC addiction, and as long as I can pay off my AmEX total every month, about all she has to say is, "Another package from MAC?"
Not that anyone asked, but I think your father should be glad that you take pride in your appearance. Many disabled people just kind of give up.

GO FOR IT!

I love your attitude.

I'm 43 and in a wheelchair, but if bold shadow colors worked on me(They "wash out" my very green eyes), I'd have them all myself!
I'm going for "Pomposity" and "Vivacious" lipsticks,instead.

I think that there is actully 2 pro stores in fl, theres one in miami and also one in orlando, however if you call them they do ship out directly from the store so you dont have to drive all the way there

that would help esp. with gas prices being what they are

The pro-store in Orlando, doesn't release collections early. I've tried

The Milliena mall where it is located is beautiful. Though it's a pricey it has Urban Outfitters, Juicy Couture, Tiffany's, Jimmy Choo, and actually the MAC store is located between Dior and Louis Vuitton.

It's not even just main stream metropolitan cities. I live in Atlanta and the nearest Pro Shop to me is Orlando I think. I mean come on!

Honestly? my father can't stand me. He adored me when I was little but as soon as I started forming my own opinions he suddenly couldn't stand me. He's definately not proud of me. He wanted me to be a cutesy little girly-girl, not a horror-genre loving aspiring special effects tech with completely non-conservative views on politics, religion, and the world at large. We clash on everything. For example: I'm bisexual and I'm engaged to the love of my life, who just so happens to be a girl. My mum already knows that I want to marry her but neither she nor I have told my father yet. I have a feeling that when he finds out he'll go ballistic and do something rash, like kick me out. He's a jackass and I honestly wonder why my mum married him. sigh.

Thankfully my mum adores my MAC and other makeup collections. She's always asking me to try out different color combinations on her. She's just as excited about C-Shock as I am. And it's great to have someone support me in what I do--my pinup artwork, my makeup collections, my self-taught special effects makeup, the fact that she adores my wife-to-be and wants me to be happy despite my crap disability. Wish I could say the same of my jackass father.

And on another subject, I hear what everyone's saying about there needing to be more Pro stores in more cities. I live in Houston, one of the largest cities in the world fer fucking sake and yet we don't have a Pro store! And why the fuck not, might I ask?! There's one in Dallas so why can't there be one here!

lord.

anyhow. So is C-Shock being released on the 14th or on the 7th on the website? I'll probably just stake out the site until twelve on the sixth just to make sure I don't miss anything. I'd go insane and chainsaw-happy if I missed out on buying that blue lipstick.

 

[Katura]

I SAW ALL OF IT YESTERDAY!!!

its gorgeoussssssssssssssssssssss

and it's ALL gonna be mine! hahaha...

[Caderas]

Shocked to see the C-SHOCK

I went to MAC store yesterday to do some exchange... I was gonna buy something... but one of the MA's talked to me and asked me If heard about the new line releasing on June 14th... I told him I've heard about it... guess what he did for me... he took the C-SHOCK Testers from their backkroom... and showed it to me... don't you feel very special like you've seen it before everyone else did? OMG...OMG... the colors are so lovely..the bomb... I am saving money right now and go there thursday first thing in the morning to get the GOING BANANA e/s.... coz they only have 5 of 'em.... I know it sounds sooo crazy... I touched, seen and tried the GOING BANANA e/s... it is the best color... and a must-have....from the collection...
