Definitely! MAC releases new collections what seems to be every other week. So, don't worry to much about the things you have missed just get the new items that you love.
I would suggest this stuff if you need some basics to start your collection with...
Brushes:
187 (for foundation) look for this one at your CCO. They always have it at the one in MS. You can also use this one to apply a very pigmented blush with.
239 (for eyeshadow placement on the lid. It also can double as a crease brush.)
217 (blending, crease, and outer V)
168 (blush & contour)
134 (this is my fave, I use it for powder & sometime bronzer for an all over glow. It's pretty expensive, but I also found this one at the CCO in MS.)
Popping Green Eyes:
If you can I would suggest 2 quads. These are both LE quads, but they are both from Spring Colour Forecast Collection which is out now. You can take a look at the swatches of the palettes in the SCF swatch thread.
Spring Colour Forecast Quad 3. These purple/plum shades will look fantastic on you and really bring out you green eyes.
The next is from the same collection Quad 4. These are neutral shades, but they have a golden/copper/bronze tone to them. I think it would look great with your skin and eye color.
Nude Lips:
My fave- Viva Glam V- Great nude w/ just a hint of a pink undertone
Peachstock- Nude w/ peachy undertone. You can get it in the Liberty of London collection or call MAC Pro and order it.
Like a few others have mentioned above the Blacktrack fluidline.
Margin Blush- frosty peach
Now, please no one throw anything at me, but....
I just got both of the Sigma brush sets and I love them. Sigma is a very affordable alternative to MAC brushes. Some are not quite as good as MAC, but they are all good and definitely make it easier to get the job done. I love my sets and I so happy I just went ahead a bought them.
Also, I find the fluidline eyeliner a bit expensive for what it is. Seriously, it's just eyeliner. So, I turn to the Coastal Scents Gel Eyeliner instead. I love my MAC just as much as all of my fellow addicts, but somethings I cheat on.
