Weird.

I'll ask the MA to try it on me next time then.
Thank you for the info!

My bad ... BP

And also the pigments ... I can't buy so much though ... Maybe 2-3 items, that's it

My complete RR haul was

Summer Rose BP
Love & Friendship n/l
Silverthorn e/s
Et Tu Bouquet e/s

But I already have Mutiny p/g and two generous samples of Circa Plum p/g.

For a 2-3 haul I would recommend Summer Rose BP (if you don't already have a similar blush like it), Silverthorn e/s or Et Tu Bouquet e/s (depending on your preferences) and Mutiny or Circa Plum p/g.

The Lipsticks and Lipglasses were pretty but MAC will always release something similar.

You're so right about the l/s ... Even though, they're like mad pretty, something similar might come up ... I'm thinking Summer Rose BP and Mutiny/ Circa Plum p/g ... Let's see though ... It's altogether a different story when you actually land in the store and see so much pretty around

I am really proud at myself that I resisted in hauling like crazy this time. I normally set myself a limit of items before I go to the store or counter but it never really works.

This time with RR my list was Silverthorn e/s but I also had the n/l and the BP on my maybe-list so I only got weak with Et Tu Bouquet e/s.

I would have bought maybe one or two Lipsticks and one or two Lipglasses if I could but I don't think that I miss out that much. Even with my short MAC addict time since last fall I thought while looking at the l/s and l/g .. wait.. you look familiar?!

Yea, I was really proud when I walked in during BBR and walked out with only Redhead ... Am glad to this day!

Seriously, now am thinking what am I gonna do going in tom or day after since RR won't come out till June ... I think I better keep my face towards the Clinique and LUSH stores only

I know that feeling! And especially when you realize that you didn't end up buying a dupe, oh ... I feel exhilarated

I was really tempted by the Rose imprint on the BP's but i have a lot more pigmented blushers in my make up collection to pass on these

Better save for Style Warriors and Color Craft!

 

[Holy Rapture]

Gotcha

*whisper* for me a collector's item *whisper*

[iadoremac]

Is it just me because i saw silverthorn and mutiny and i didnt like them

 

[TISH1124]

Mutiny is not my fav, but i don't dislike it ....But I love Silverthorn

 

[only1angel]

I think I'm the opposite of Tish lol. I LOVE mutiny. And while I like silverthorn, it's not my favorite yet. I should probably give silverthorn more of a chance though. I've only used it once so I'm still testing it out. But boy is it gorgeous to look at in the pan.

Last night, I wore Silverthorn in the crease with Too Dolly on the lid over Butternutty s/s, Carbon on the outer v and Vanilla pigment as a highlight. It was a great combo. DH even commented on how good my eyes looked lol.
