Anywho, I thought about it and I worry that 100 strokes (the only e/s I considered buying) would make me look bruisey (nw20). Anyone else thinking along the same lines?

That's awesome - except for our sizes *cough* they can get a lil pricey. But I'm with you on the lacy things

I guess I'll find out on the 100 strokes...gosh I hope not! I don't think it will

100 Strokes does not look bruisey at all on me.

Tish, those all look awesome on your hand!

Thanks!

Great haul, Elegant. Can't wait to hear what you think of it all.

Top Knot is definitely a velvet. Not frost.

I know right ... You have to see them for yourself...just because one person hates it on them does not mean it will look that way on you...I love all these colors and the texture ...
I scratched so many based on opinions and got in there and was like WOW!! that was wrong

Elegant One as taught me well on the enabling...she is the Queen of Enablers and I love her!!!

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

Okay so I went to the MAC counter in MACY's last night to pick up Red Devil l/g and Henna e/s (I don't own Sumptuous Olive so I grabbled Henna because its a beautiful color). Red Devil l/g wasn't on the display.

The color that looked like it was supposed to be Red Devil was actually Cult of Cherry...I was so confused. So I asked the MA if this was the correct l/g for the launch...I told her that the info I had had a different l/g and that I hadn't known Cult of Cherry was launching again with this collection. She said she was surprised too when they got the shipment but that's the correct l/g for this launch. I wasn't buying it but I didn't want to argue with her since clearly they didn't have Red Devil...so I just grabbed Henna and left. I'll have to get Red Devil today from another counter or store. Sigh. Weird. Did anyone else experience this at counters?

Girl! That's what I was thinking. Bootleg counter...its not my usual but its closest to my house so I dipped over there after work because I was tired and didn't want to drive that much.

I started to have an indignant attitude but thought better of it. The MA just wasn't aware and I didn't want to make her feel bad. They really had the Cult of Cherry l/g in the display though...like that was right. LOL

I wonder if Red Devil l/g isn't available in Macy's stores in Los Angeles County. I went to 2 Macy's stores yesterday & both don't have Red Devil l/g in their stock at all. They don't know if they will get it or not.

Did anyone end up with more than one 226? I'm thinking of getting two but I don't want to spend $50 if it's only worth having just the one...

What say you, Specktrettes?

Was not impressed with any of them on.... The only other one I would have considered would have been What A Do which was just a plain frosty nude nothing special reminded with of 1N just a tad darker with a tiny hint of pink (emphasis on tiny) Chignon was a glaze...very little color took many coats then looked like Jampacked l/g a Dark like purple B-Babe - Just another pink frost Lipglass Quick Tease - Jampacked's twin Eyeshadows French Cuff - Mythology's twin..but Mythology is better and I have that Flip - Bronzy Gold....Nothing special what so ever - Goldmine is so much better Deep Shade - Contrast renamed (really) Femme Fi - Love it...But already have it MSF Blonde Petticoat's Twin yet silkier feeling..I put Petticoat on one cheek and Blonde MSF on the other...couldn't figure out which side I put what on that were just that similar on me and IMO Brushes 165 if you have 109, 138, 116 (skip it) I have all those so it was skipped ​

Thanks so much for the review!

You helped me complete my list and put many things out of it! You even made me reconsider Blonde MSF! Is it really that similare to Petticoat?

Also, does anyone else thinks that Live and Dye l\g looks very similar (at least in the photos) to Prrr l\g from the permanent line?

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

Elegant, have you tried bravissimo.com? They have an awesome selection of very pretty lacy things, and they carry a 28G!

They ship to the US, and with the exchange rates its pretty afforable.

I called yesterday too, and they did it for me as well! I was so happy. I think I got lucky because I spoke to a regular customer service rep, and not the beauty counter. I ordered everything I wanted and then some because I got the discount. I ended up getting 2 of the 226 brush. i didn't get a 214 brush... but I ordered it from MAC this morning.

Has anyone figured out a free shipping code? I'm getting so much I have to split my order.

Oh thank God.. I agree-- Petticoat is gorgeous but SO METALLIC... I thought I was the only one who didnt get the hype about this...

Soooo good to know this too.. I <3 that I decided to get Red devil as one of my B2M's

Me either, I feel your pain

Crap. REALLY EXTREAMLY close to shine manish??? I feel like Shine Manish was extreamly orange, not nec "coral." ... as from the swatches Ive seen that Red Devil has more pink tones to it... I dont feel like Shine Manish has ANY pink tones to it.......
