Thanks for posting this. I've been trying to figure out what looks I could come up with using silverthorn. Your idea sounds really pretty. I have to try this!

And I thought I was done with RR...

Care to post pics of you wearing Summer Rose (I presume, as a blush?). It'll be a good reference for me, considering we're of the same foundation shade.

Oh my!!
The only lip products I bought from this collection!
I'll try it first thing (well after my coffee!) tomorrow!
Awesome!

I went to DFS Galleria in a shopping mall and I saw Silverthorn and Creme de Violet! Glad I got the chance to see them. Now I know if some LE item doesn't arrive at my regular MAC counters and store, I can check it out at DFS.

I went to MAC yesterday and purchased Magnetique l/g, Tender Tryst see thru, Loving Touch see thru, Of Summer e/s and Love and Friendship n/l.

We did not received SilverThorn e/s and Just a Pinch gel blush.

Does anyone know how long limited edition products tend to be available for? I really want some of this collection, but I'm broke until July

Me too! I got a sample of Mutiny & it's so pretty I may buy the full size.

But Silverthorn just looks blah on me, just icy silver blue. Tried it different ways & it just doesn't like me, lol.

OMG...I take back any negative things I ever said about Silverthorn. How could I EVER have doubted it even for a second. I've had silverthorn for a while now but haven't really given it a chance and couldn't really decide what other colors to use with it. Well I decided to have some fun being that some friends and I spent the whole day together, so that gave me an excuse to wear more makeup than I usually do being that I work at an office 5 days a week.
Well, let me tell you......I'm in love!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I need a backup of this baby! I used butternutty ss as the base, mutiny on my lid, silverthorn on my crease, and freshwater for the outer v and blended it into the crease. I used sugarshot as my brow highlight, and tilt for my lower line. I got a few compliments at the mall- so made my day after such a horrible week. Someone even came up to me and said I looked like an ice princess- how sweet was that??

For those of you that haven't tried this- go get it...RUN. before it's gone. And for those of you that have it but aren't too crazy about it, seriously give it another shot. I honestly only bought this b/c you all here were talking so highly about it. Then when I got it, I was regretting it. Now, I just wanna give you all hugs n kisses b/c I seriously wasn't going to get this. I love it SO MUCH I'm seriously thinking of getting a backup- and I NEVER get backups for e/s lol.
I'll try and post a pic of how the look came out...

TEAM SILVERTHORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not really sure to be honest with you. But my MAC store stopped selling HK by the end of April. So my guess is 2 months. But my MA said usually they keep the collections until theyre sold out. But with so many collections coming up, I'm not sure if they might give this collection the boot a little earlier. If you make the purchase online, I think you should be okay until July. The MAC site should definitely still have this collection available by July- unless certain items are sold out. Things don't normally sell quick at my freestanding store. If you have trouble finding something in July I wouldn't mind doing a CP for you, just let me know when the time comes.
But who knows- with all the other awesome collections coming out, by July you might not even remember this one, and that'll save you $ for the others lol

No, I don't think they are similar at all! Et Tu Bouquet? is more shimmery and more pink. Like this one more

It really just depends on the collection and if anything sells out. There is always a chance that a lot of these items will still be available in July. Otherwise you can always see if someone is selling the items in the clearance bin here on Specktra.
