You are welcome! About Fafi 2 it depends on your style. I think You're Fresh and Shockwave( the light mint green and orange) look very nice on brown eyes. I have brown eyes too. The rest of color in the quad is really univeral colors. But the look you create with Fafi2 is very Springlike, and You are Fresh is Lustre which could be a bit too glittery for some, so it really depends on your style...hope that helps!

It's similar to the McQueen paint pot, that's for sure, but enough is different that it might be worth the purchase. It's more blendable then the McQueen paint pot as well

Really? I read some reviews which said it was difficult to blend, not as creamy as most other paint pots. That may have just been before they started working it in, but it's what I've been using to tell myself I don't need Rollickin'!

That sounds really good! I have to try it as well.

And for the paint pot discussion: I don't think I can have one aqua PP too much ...

Who knows when the next one will be coming?

I love this pp!
I don't have Other Wordly (is that correct?) but Rollickin is just so gorgeous. It has shimmer and a gold sheen to it. I would use it with all my blue shadows and greens.

No, that's not true. Most of the stuff is not sold out on the MAC website. My Freestanding is in the process of reordering as well. It should be in about 2 weeks later I'm assuming. So go ahead and place an order if they offer it, or look into ordering online if you did get a chance to play with the colors like I did. I had already placed an order on stuff I was sure of. Then I went to the store and checked out colors I wasn't sure of and sure enough, those were sold out.

So I had to hurry up and order Flash and Dash from the website because I won't be in town 2 weeks later for the restock. And I'm considering getting a back-up of Fun N' Sexy because that was sold out as well.

besides, different ordering methods come from different locations. when you order online, it ships from maryland. when you order thru the 800# it ships from new york. and i'm not sure where orders ship from that get sent to stores and counters. if something is sold out online, it has nothing to do with the inventory thru the 800#. we haven't been told of another shipment being sent to our counter. hopefully we do cause we are sold out of sassed up ipp and almost sold out of the other 2, almost sold out of both quads and nail lacquers, we have only 1 cash flow and 3 nice vice pps, and we haven't even had our event yet.

Thanks for posting this. I just ordered it after reading this and viewing a Fafi Haul pictures. It looks so beautiful.

So I got to MAC today and tried on High Top l/s. Didn't like it at all. it was way different on me than it was in the swatches I saw. I hated Strawbaby on me. I think thats because she put a red lipliner with it. I don't know. Got Hipness, and I like it a lot. Also got Perky pp and I will probably try that tomorrow

Cult Fave was okay, but I think the SE viva glam gloss was damn close to the same thing.

You can try layering the paint pot over UDPP and under eye shadows to get the eyeshadow much more vibrant. I say you should give those paint pots a try.

That really depends on what colors you use more. Three of them are more neutral, and three are more colorful. Personally, I already have Bare Study and Painterfly for neutral bases and if I get any more I'm going to want them to be darker (like Constructivist and Blackground). I love colors way more so I picked up Cash Flow, Nice Vice, and Rollickin'. I love these things, there are still more perm ones I need to add to my collection.

Nunu,

I have Fresco Rose and Rubenesque and I picked up Perky which is awesome, I compared all three and on my NW15 skin, Perky is a more pinkier-orange toned Rubenesque and is a Satin finish which is less shimmery than Rub.Frost finish but still good colour reflection.

I find these Fafi pps to be creamier than some of the other I've tried (Soft Ochre, Painterly etc) and I'm really loving Layin Low (Cream)--so smooth, and an awesome base for a neutral look (even on its own).

Do you use your McQueen paint pots a lot? If you do use Other Worldy a lot, I'd definitely try Rollickin, as it has great application and such a pretty reflective colour.

Honestly if I could afford it, I would buy them all (Girl Friendly seemed to me to be like a matte type of Fresco Rose but b/c I love Fresco SO MUCH I prob. would have got it too!)

With that being said, perhaps MAC is getting better with the paintpot formulations and I'd anticipate more colours later down the line (I mean its been less than a year since they were introduced and there have already been quite a few!)

I'm debating picking up Nice Vice--so pretty but I rarely wear purples anymore....but if its around when I order next I'm sure I'll get it! Oh and not sure I made it clear, I bought Perky and Layin Low and I have Fresco Rose and Rubenesque already (used to have Delft, Artifact and Greenstroke too but used it only a couple times, then sold them)
