That's great to hear! I'm glad you love it. It looks so plain and common in the pan, but it's really unique on.

Yes!!! It really is. Thanks for enabling!!!

All the pics of and talk about Hot Chocolate are whittling away any willpower I've been trying to cling to. It's still sitting in my cart waiting for me to check out.

I'm a little disappointed in HA l/s because it's not very pink on me. I should have remembered that pink l/s tends to go a bit orange on me. It's still a lovely mlbb color though and it is so so smooth. I was surprised how well it wore on me, too. I don't think it would hold up through a meal but I had a drink with it on and it was still there afterward. I hope VG Nicki 2 is this smooth. Amber Glow and Silver Birch are BEAUTIFUL! I'm thinking of backing up both if I can. I can see the subtle sparkles in AG on me but it's more sophisticated than obvious glitter. It reminds me of twinkling snow.

I'm digging SR, too because it reminds me of Ring of Saturn. Now I'm trying to decide if I need Ice or if I should get some of the pressed pigments instead. Hope everyone is enjoying their goods!

That sounds so pretty!

Nothing lights a fire under my ass more than seeing that two of the lipsticks are already sold out, lol!

I am NW15+ and I loved it. It was apricot on me but not orange. It is prefect peaches and cream. The AB wasn't orange on me either.

Sounds perfect for me - peaches & cream.

So lets see, Peaches & Cream & AC is like Strawberries & then there is Hot Chocolate! Its all yummy goodness

If someone could swatch Silver Birch next to Cloudy Afternoon, that would be amazing Not that I think they're too similar, but it would give me a much better idea of the color, since I have to order online.

I'll try to do a comparison tomorrow since it's dark now. Maybe the sun will come back out tomorrow, too. So far I've noticed that SB is much more glittery. Or at least mine is, I'm not sure if it's a veining issue. It was very smooth, though. Just so lovely.

Thank you! That's very helpful.

My Stereo Rose came in last nigh. Love the finish! it remind of the new formula that MAC has put into place for the MSF since Lightscaped from the MAC Fall Colour Collection for Fall 2011. I've notice a finish difference and I'm wondering if I'm the only one to notice the finer milling of the MSF since then as well. Thankfully it don't turn orange on me so it's a keeper.

The general formula of the MSFs hasn't changed. Each "style" is a bit different based on if it's a single colour, has veining, or is swirled.

 

[valkolak]

Grrrr now I'm reconsidering HC. I really don't want to order it though because I don't want to get it and end up hating it and there be one less out there for the people who can really rock it. Hopefully I can get to a store tomorrow and with any luck I can try before I buy. It seems like 90s shades are coming back around though so maybe there will be more like it to choose from. Temptalia's review is making me want Till Tomorrow since it's a bit lighter

 

[Corally]

I got Amber Glow :stars:

Yay! I will definitely get it too. Waiting for this collection seems like forever, I want to place my order already. :sigh:  Should pop up online on Wednesday.

I know right!! The release date for Holland is the 5th but most of the time collections pop up a few days early. So I'm already stalking lol.:lol:

Idk, I know with repromoted products there have been textural changes as well as color variations in the ones I have picked up. This PP was way more dry and powdery than the last for me.

I got Amber Glow

Celebration time!!! 'Can't wait to hear what you think about it when it arrives!!

It looks great with Poised, btw!! Yes, I am a Team All Four lady, for a change!

 

[mousygiggles]

Uh-oh, I dunno about being one of those evil enablers, hehe. I just love to come here and be enthusiastic and chit chat about the things that get me excited. This is a great community!

This whole collection is so snuggly and lush. The promo picture doesn't capture the cozy fabulousness at all, even if that scarf is really cool

. It's my favorite post-holiday neutral collection from MAC since I started down the rabbit hole after Style Black

Yes!!!! I am wearing it with Poised and I love the two together.
