I did a swatch test to gauge how Moxie's color might pull on me. Impassioned pulls pink, looks almost like a watermelon pink. Fusion Pink and Party Parrot seem pretty similar, both very red. I wish I didn't have to wait until Monday. The suspense is killing me!

Damn. I totally forgot Rocker was a matte. They are just so damn wonky on me. But hopefully since it's darker it won't show imperfections. The best way for me to wear them is lightly, so I cant wear them as bold as I'd like to :(

I'm so glad that I'm on vacation right now and barely wearing makeup much less caring about missing this collection. It sounds like it's been more stressful than fun. None of these shades would have been great for me, although I could have pulled off Rocker. I'm lemming a couple of NARS reds and with Style Seeker and Marilyn around the corner there is no shortage of reds coming. I have no patience for this LE frenzy. I think I'm done with sold out in an hour collections. I've started branching into other brands where I have plenty of time to try out the items and then buy what I like from a particular collection. Most of my makeup collection is perm items anyway and while I'm sure I'll continue buying some LE items it's not worth the aggravation to site stalk. If it's readily available online, great. My local store will hold items for me anyway. If I miss some online exclusives, that's fine. If it's really a hole in my collection (unlikely) then it can be filled by a perm item or other brand. I have so much now that I'm fine with just buying fewer items that might individually cost more than MAC. I still enjoy MAC but I've decided that it's time to start seeing other people. ;)

Have you tried using Mac's Prep + Prime Lip? I find that the more I use it under lipsticks, the less my lips chap.

Did they really restocked Cany Yum Yum??
I spotted it when it reached online, but I am not american & I use international credit card, then it was sold out
I talked to MAC on Live chat asking if it will be available in Nordstrom or MAC UK so I can order because they accept international credit cards
she surprised me when she said the US site now accepts online payments throught paypal with US shipping address (I have that one) but also she said Candy Yum Yum wont be restocked :(
I was also told that By Request wont be available Online in Nordstrom or MAC UK! but only in MAC France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands (where I can't order because I don't understand the language & I don't have shipping addresses in those countries)
I Want that Candy Yum Yum :( & Maybe Moxie too :"( :"(

I have impassioned and it is more pink thank moxie. Moxie is still pink but it does pull more red it's a pretty color IMO.

Can someone with a darker skin tone put up a swatch of rocker please, I'm trying to debate if I should get that too and it sounds real pretty. I'm not sure if I will like it.

Thanks for the link, looks like Muse has upgraded her site a bit since I was last there.

FoF is tempting, but I have at least 4 unopened lipglasses waiting for me right now. If it's still around in a month, it's a thought. But I just saw that Bath and Body works put out their Halloween soaps, so at least $15 of my money is going over there.

I ordered monday and they were delivered wednesday at noon with regular shipping, never had any trouble, they are pretty fast with shipping don`t feel the need to order overnight shipping. Now if only would be so easy for them to reach Romania from US :)

I just hope that MAC will release future collection in a "normal" way (whatever that is in MAC terms), but three items every three days is annoying as you still have to stalk each time even if you only want a few products. The likelihood that MAC will release the e/s early is still a possibility.

I love mattes period lol. Thanks I will check out her instagram and blog. I think I may get bait and flas flesh I think they're both pretty after seeing the swatches because I wasn't planning on getting them at first. Trying to wait for the eyeshadows to come out so I can get them.
