So, I wonder if the collections are at the pro store already or maybe later this week? I would brave the freezing cold and get my butt to NY to get my stuff.

The pro store here usually gets collections a week early when they launch on Thursdays... Don't know if that means they'll be in on Thursday or Saturday, but hopefully it means early. I could use a pick-me-up!

Ok, I am completely skipping this collection now. I am too excited for Peacocky, plus there's nothing here that I really need or want. I'm still hauling from Stylishly Yours though, which is way more exciting. So, I'm going with my original decision way back when news first broke of this collection: skip!

This collection is killing me with the quad and the paint pots! I just graduated and will be starting work in Jan, so neutral colors are right up my alley because they are foolproof and work safe.

Once anyone gets their goodies would someone be willing to swatch Caviar dreams against Magical Mist from the Dashing Lassies holiday palette? Please;) ?

Final List- NC30:
~ E/s in Retrospeck; swatch Brule but I think it's too light
~ I'll swatch all the paint pots but will probably leave with Let Me Pop & Bare Study
~ I Get No Kick eye kohl
~ Feline kohl power
~ Chez Chez Lame H/L powder
~ Flustered & Gel lipsticks
~ Straight to the Head lipgelee; swatch Bubble Lounge
~ Lavender lip balm & fix
~ Maybe a chromagraphic pencil

It's going to be a big haul for me with both collections

I live in Los Angeles and I'm fortunate enough to have THREE MAC stores within a 10 mile radius of me including the MAC Pro on Robertson. I went to the PRO store today and pre-purchased a few things from the Cham Pale collection. They physically pulled the item I wanted, placed them in a bag and told me I could pick them up any time after Thursday. My card wouldn't be charged until Thursday (the 16th). The entire process was funny to me. They should have just sold me the items and let me leave the store with them in hand since they were already there (hahah).

I bought 2 Feline Eye Kohls. Can you believe they only had SIX LEFT?? I wanted the Dangerous Cuvee paint pot BUT THEY WERE SOLD OUT

. I did, however, get the Vintage Section paint pot and the eyeshadow quad.

They also pulled out the Stylishly Yours display for me. The colors are hot! The violet Style Curve lipstick is a more sheer version of Violetta and Something New is just like Show Orchid. At first glance it looked like Girl About Town but the swatch was exactly like Show Orchid.

I can't believe things are sold out already. I guess folks are excited.

Oh goodness, karla's swatches are killing me. I just decided to skip this collection and then I get sucked back in. The lipgelee's look incredible. I love Resort Life so much that I want more.

Thanks to Karla for the Triple A (awesome-as-always) swatches. I'm leaning towards:

Quad
I Get No Kick
Bubble Louge
Vintage Selection

Maybes
Dangerous Cuvée
Sin-tillation or Luxure (they both look like Resort Life in the photos, so I may not want either)

What is a chromagraphic Pencil? Can I use it on my waterline? What about I get no kick(does shimmeriness make it unsuitable for waterline?)? I want something to remove redness and open the eyes. Does anyone know?

Sorry, waterline coloring make me look like a goth. :p But I don't think that would happen with a light pencil.

It's a skin-tone colour pencil and yes, it is waterline safe. It's meant to be used as a liner, particularly along the waterline. The effect brightens eyes and makes them appear wider. Can work with or without a liner along the lash line.

I have tried and tested the light coloured NC15-20 pencils on the waterline -- I find their wearability somewhat iffy and usually winding up in the corners of eyes... They are being repro'd because they don't sell that well... but of course, everyone decides for themselves what suits them and what they can wear.

Also, a pencil with sparkles/glitter of any sort should not be used on the waterline -- no matter what anyone says... if nobody believes me, check with a Opthamologist... the sparkles/glitter can scratch the retina of the eye. Although if memory serves me, the I Get no Kick is just glimmery.. which might work

I have a duo pencil made by Jane Iredale, it is half creamy rose colour and the other half creamy white colour which glides on and doesn't irritate my eyes at all.


back on topic -- before you buy anything from Peacocky, go over the stuff you have for possible dupes.

I'll definitely be ordering online so I don't have to stress about getting Feline.

My list is staying at Luxure and Sin-tillation lipgelees and two Felines, though I am tempted by the TLC.

Total: $58

I may grab a few more Felines, too, just in case.
