Well I had pretty bad today dealing with alot of stupid people, but my little haul managed to cheer me up.
In person, my exitement for all the mineralize blushes dissappeared. This is very odd for a blush whore like me. I feel like Mac keeps making dupes of colors from the previous collection. These blushes were more glittery than the solid side of grand duos.
-Before I left for MAC, I swatched Intenso on my hand to compare it to Style demon and they were almost identical on my hand! Except Style Demon was more glittery. I actually prefer Intenso.
-Improvise was pretty on my hand, but too light on my NC15 cheeks and when I packed it on all I got was a bunch of shimmer.
-Fad-dabulous looks excatly like Hot Planet on me which is a color I am just not fond of even though alot of people like it.
-Hand-finish was a load of shimmer and not enough pigment
-Cheek and cheerful is a good blush for a bronzy look but I allready have Earth to Earth and don't think I need it.
The stripey MSF'S were very good quality as far as MSF'S go. I wasn't planning on getting Smooth Merge, but I did because I loved the smooth texture. I love how frosty these MSF'S are.
-Triple Fusion was good but an ordinary peach like Mac always releases.
- The darkest MSF was good aswell but too dark for me.
-Cheeky bronze wasn't a good one and I didn't like the texture.
Alot the eye-shadows were lacking pigmentation, but I did get eccentricity because I just love the violet colors. Ive been looking for colors like these.
The lipglosses were good quality but I am allready suffocated by the ones I have.
I loved the lipsticks! I know some people are saying they're nothing special but they are worth checking out. I picked up made with love and madly creative which I both love and I don't have colors like these. I may pick up color crafted later, but it did look like a lighter melrose mood/saint germain.
Overall, I got Smooth Merge, Eccentricity, Made with love, and Madly creative. Shockingly I don't want any blushes, except for maybe Cheek and Cheerful. However, they restocked all the blushes from Grand Duos and Sonic Chick!! So I think these will still be around in a few months.

I agree!
Although everything sucked, Warm Blend stuck out more to me in person, online Smooth Merge was looking so pink and pretty, but bleh.

I thought I wanted Eccentricity and Fashion Patch but the colours didnt do anything for me. They were pretty but ... meh. The blushes were gorgeous with a high sheen finish. I could achieve the same look with my MSF's and they are a better bang for the buck. I only tried Improvise and Daft Pink which were on my list. Gorgeous. Improvise started to turn on orange me by the time I got home. Daft Pink is delish but I have too many pink blushes Its okay... more $$$ for Love That Look.... gimmie Starflash anyday

Agreed. Were you referring to the 226? Because the 224 has always been considered a blender, or so I thought.

An article for your internship? That sounds cool! I'm hoping to go as well so that I can B2M for three things and I may not buy anything until I get paid since I want to save up money.

I woke up really early this morning with good intentions, thinking I should easily be done by Noon, and then I'll still get to the counter before it gets crowded. (I would rather avoid the evening rush). I was so excited to see this today too!!! Hope you get to go tomorrow. I hope I get there tomorrow too, lol.

lol too many damn numbers to keep em all straight!
my boss loves to use the 224 for application, but its just too big for my taste for that. i use the 217 for application in either the crease or outter corner (the 226 works also), and use the 224 to buff out colours.

Hmmm, I'm starting think that these clustered collection releases have been masterminded by boyfriends and husbands in order to get more *attention*.

I agree. I was sure I'd get Style Demon, but it was so glittery (and even ashy on me) that even the MA said, "I wouldn't."
I ended up with Fever from the perm collection.
I guess I am the only one who will show some love for the two items I got from CC: Pretty Pattern l/g (which will be a pretty, shimmery nude on me) and Ever Embellish l/s (which I had NO intention of buying--but I LOVED it).

When I was at the Mac store today with my daughter, they gave her a copy of her pic with the Style Warriors model, and told her they sent it to NY! She loved that. She also got a card that a few of the MA's signed "can't wait to work with you when you're older"
The girl knows all the collections, I wonder why
