Between Apres chic and Strength, I prefer AC! I'm even going to skip Strength collection!!
I hope Allura posts swatches soon ( we have similar skintone) so I can figure out if Warm companion is good for me or if it's too light! I guess I'm already sold on Cozy up and I may add Silver birch to my list O____O.... this will be expensiiiiiiiive

off topic I've received a Sephora gift card for Christmas... I still don't know what to buy.. I may wait for spring collections.. or take UD Dangerous palette and something else ...

Fireside looks taupe in some pictures and not in others! Idk if I should get it or not! I probably will go swatch it in person. I got $100 to Macy's for Christmas

Fireside is like club or ud lounge in mineralize form. Not taupe. It's reddish brown with a green duochrome.

I may get Hot Chocolate l/s or perhaps nothing at all.

Is it just me or does it seem as if this collection isn't doing very well...???? Your thoughts ladies.....

My Macys got this and it had tons of stuff left when I pre-ordered. All collections usually sell out right away since we don't have a MAC store, just the two macy's counters. I am positive they will be tons of stuff left when I go pick my stuff up not tomorrow but another day when the crows lessen.

Funny, the sheen wasn't apparent on me, but I used it without foundation. I wonder if that has an impact - it sure did with the MBs from Apres Chic (no way I'd wear those over even medium foundation). It's so nice to have something that needs minimal effort like TS does for me. I couldn't wear it as an actual blush, though.

I've got Coffee Walnut as my main contour, or sometimes the creme blend blush from the Desert Camo compact - normally, I'd rather have a cream contour, because of my dry skin.

I spent years never contouring because I felt my face was too pudgy and flat to figure out a convincing way to do it, but since I lost a bunch of weight a couple years ago, my bone structure works much better for it. If the texture's right, I'd try more powder contours again, since I've had good luck with TS and Alpine Bronze….always up for something new!

That's so true, it's so easy to apply and blend. But like you, I couldn't use it as blush, it left a grey shadow with taupe sheen on my cheeks, my boyfriend said my face looked dirty.

Hmmm. I haven't really paid attention to the MES in this collection, but I may have to get Fireside.

So I caved and order just Stereo Rose and Prep + Prime BB Beauty Balm Compact in Extra Light... I swear that's it till the Archie Girls collection for MAC buying from me.

I'm hoping to see this collection in person tomorrow. I'm interested in Haute Attitude and Après Chic.

The entire collection is up. Has been since yesterday.

Macy's opens at 7 tomorrow (poor fellow associates...), so I'm gonna leave around 6:30. Can't wait to get all of my goodies!

I'm with you Ladyarwen. I need to be up at 5:30 so that i can leave by 6:15 to fuel up and go to the mall, Im super slow in the mornings which is why waking up with the chickens is essential for me lol

Can you see the promo pic on the Macy's site? Maybe try a different browser.

That's what i am seeing too. Maybe you can look them up individually. Here is the link to one of the blushes, isn't? http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/mac-mineralize-blush?ID=333175&CategoryID=45682#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D16%26ruleId%3D2%26slotId%3D2

Oh ok. I thought you meant on the mac site. Sorry doll. The collection doesn't launch til later today, so right now it's only showing what's in the collection that's permanent. Once it officially launches, the entire collection should post.
