I also really want Assemblage, but that is sold out everywhere too, so I'm just waiting for it to be launched at the last counter in Singapore. I caved and bought the #131 at that counter because it was the last piece there, and last pieces are always particularly tempting. Didn't receive any presents for my birthday this year , so I bought myself some MAC goodies.

Cool, sometimes I do the same, going from counter to counter LOL.
How do you find the 131? I still don't know if I have to buy it, it should be available at DFS when they will launch there so I'm still on time.
Do you know the price for the 226?

I liked the pigmentation og the glosses but I hated so much the packaging that I passed without any second thoughts.

Did you get you blushes palettes?

Too bad about not having presents but good that you bought yourself something you will enjoy!

Yes definitely, I'm still on a high from buying makeup, I want to buy more but I'm broke now...

Must wait until I get next week's allowance before I can treat myself again. Hehe.

And yes, it's easy going from counter to counter because they're all located so close to one another.

Nope I haven't bought the blush palette yet, I just received one in a swap.

Actually I bought the last piece of the #131 at DFS.

I'm sure there are other counters still selling it though, like the new one at ION and maybe Robinsons? I've only used it once, can't really tell whether it's worth it, but so far so good. I suggest you buy it first and sell it off if you don't like it, because by the time you decide to get one it may already be sold out everywhere.

Can you tell, Winnie is feeling sneaky now.

It is too bad they didn't release any nail lacquers to go with the collection, I was sooo hoping they would make a lime green or something as it would fit the promos and colour scheme so well. Ah well.

Hmm I thought the last counter you were talking was the DFS one!

I don't live close to any MAC counter and I'm not planning to go in these days.

Well if I will find it when I'll be in one so be it, otherwise it wasn't meant to be!

It helps that I'm try to save!

I'm glad they didn't though. This collection is already hurting my wallet very badly, throw in some nail lacquers and my wallet will be dead.

Nope the 2nd counter was the DFS one, I mentioned I bought trip palettes and that is the only counter that sells them.

The last counter I went to, which I bought Smooth Merge at, was the one at ION.

I don't live near a MAC counter either as I obviously don't live in town. But I am willing to travel for MAC.

lalala, I am not listening. I went to look at Daft Pink again and remembered why I skipped it the first time. It looks really close to one of the Sonic Chic MB....
Please, do not make me go back again

I am trying to decide between Warm Blend and Cheeky Bronze? I am NW25-30 and have pretty much all the older MSF's and Smooth Merge, PP and Triple Fusion from this collection. I have looked at them in person, and wanted both but now I am cutting my list down

Will prob get warm blend because I love the stripes! Do you guys think any of these MSF's will end up at CCOs?

I think the base colour is exactly like Gentle

The shimmer in Daft Pink makes it more of a sheer wash of colour, so I prefer that now (I have them both). I've actually used DP as a highlighter for Warm Soul and Dainty, looks very pretty (while I'm waiting for my Perfect Topping and Refined MSFs to arrive).

OK, you're allowed to stay home and not go to the MAC counter

I am having the same dilemma so I decided to get both

No, but I think you are making a good decision getting Warm Blend-- it is versatile with the three different colors, so it will give you many different looks. Well worth the $27, imo

That's the one. I remember it swatching lighter, but still... a girl has to skip things once in a while

Though I really love the name...

Thanks hun! I want to get both too, but am already spending well over $200 on this collection so I needed to narrow my list down a bit

From what I have read on here, Warm Blend seems to look good on everyone and is very versatile with the 3 colors like you said

Improvise is so beautiful. It's like the perfect summer blush/highlighter!

Me resilient, you are a resilient enabler. I love it.

you did remind me to get pretty pattern b/c I had forgot about it, thx. I am going to check out MC when I get the starflash, so there, you happy now.

yes, CB with Fix is doable, works so much better that way.

I meant he last counter to launch the colletion here, if I'm not wrong generally is the DFS.

I don't live in the central area as well, but my son attends a school off Orchard and as I drop him and pick him I'm pretty much everyday there, but he's still on holiday now so we don't go there often.

Well maybe later I'll go to Vivocity, I'll go and have a look there!
