I wanted a direwolf but this was the avatar that worked. Waiting to see if any other GoT or ASOIAF "nerds" come out of the woodwork ;)

I sat in line for over seven hours(!!!) last Friday just to see Robb Stark/Richard Madden at the GoT panel at Comic-Con! So yeah, I just think GoT is "aight"

Are we using these as base like PP or on their own? I am thinking a powder e/s over top will help set them (though it seems a shame to hide their light so to speak), but wondering stand alone if anyone can say how long-wearing are they???

I am trying to suppress the urge to just get all of them as they seem so unique and I wish I had done that for Casual Color products before they went away. I am trying to save up for a vacation in August, but we get a "break" then, right? So, I can haul this collection and go for a no-buy in August?

Sounds good! Although, when is Mac By Request supposed to be released? If it's in August, I guess you'll have to see how much you'll spend then.

I used a paint pot under mine twice and there was NO creasing or moving after seven hours. I used Superwatt on it's own and after eight hours I had slight creasing.

They definitely do not need to be "set" they work awesome on there own.

I did not put anything over mine but did darken my crease and outer v with carbon before I put on Superwatt and it looked and worked great.

We have some active members or people with family & friends in Colorado & probably a few lurkers. My hope is that no one is affected by the senseless, horrible shooting during the midnight showing of 'The Dark Knight Rises'. My thoughts are with anyone who is suffering or somehow touched by this tragedy. Days like these are reminders that we need to hug and keep our family, friends, children & furbabies a little closer. Much love to my fellow Specktraettes.

I was just reading about that. What a horrible thing to happen. Those poor people who just went to see a movie. :( My thoughts are with them and everybody who is affected.

I forgot all about this collection! I was in Nordstroms looking at the lip and brush sets all disappointed. Then, I looked over and saw these babies. I had to control myself b/c I was going to buy 8 of them. Instead, I bought 4. I got Coil, Dynamo, Brilliantly Lit and Electroplate. Dynamo is my favorite. Such a pretty coral shade. I only have one other decent coral shadow (a matte from mufe). The texture of these things is amazing. I can't wait to try them on. I might end up with a couple more.

omg I tested these at Nordstrom and i ran home to find dupes. The only dupe I could find was Vintage Selection paint pot for Pure Flash. I have a serious dip in my VS and no backup so I have to get Pure Flash right? lol

Good to know there's lead time. ALthough from the reviews I have read, it seems no reason to hesitate to get at least a few in the colors I like best to give them a try. I am intrigued about the consistency. I think I want to see in person.

I am not surprised there is already bananas interest in the Marilyn stuff.
