Ugh, I'm getting impatient. I can only order one lippie when it first launches but it'll guarantee I get one but it's not up. Having a rough day too and it would help bring some light to it. Hurry MAC.
MAC for Marilyn

From what i can tell, the BPs are quite unlike a blush or MSF. Rather, they are intended to add a certain somewhat subtle finish.
The one that i bought, Light Sunshine from the Fashion Flower collection, is pale muted pink with a little shimmer (other BPs are more matte). I dust it on my brow line, cheeks and jaw line after all the rest of my makeup is done. I can hardly see it myself, but i know that in the right light the sparkles show, adding a slight glow. And when i went into my local MAC wearing it, the MUA could tell i had it on, even though i couldn't really see it.

It wouldn't be so bad if Pro didn't have it up on theirs lol. Makes me jealous. I am curious tho are those who are pro MUAs or are there other professions that enable you the access to the pro site. Just wondering.

Lol makes me jealous too! also makes me want to enroll in some beauty academy & take a course just to be able to qualify for a damn PRO card

I graduated from an art school but not with the right degree lol. I don't think they'll give a pro card to someone with a BS in Advertising. Yes, a BS in Advertising. When I found out I was getting a BS and not a BA I laughed.

I hate that too! In Spain the Pro discount only doesn't apply to collections with special packaging. I hope Marilyn does, but I wouldn't stick my neck out for that.

I went to an event tonight at my local store and brought back some swatches for you all!
The Lippies on NC20 skin.
The e/s and blushes an BP.
Blushes from left to right: TPC, Legendary, BP.
The BP is indeed *that* pale. It's not matte, but with some sparkles.
The e/s were not as sparkly (glitterbomb-like) like the Pressed Pigments, but close. The only one I liked texture- and clourwise was the dark grey one.
And again the cheek products.

Thanks for this explanation. I've never used a Beauty Powder before and thought it would work the same as a MSF. Now I have a better understanding of how Beauty Powders work.

I +1 your smiley. If I'd known what would happen with the economy and that my school was bs'ing with how easy paying back the loans would be I wouldn't have done it. It's sad but I'd rather give back my degree then have the loans over my head.<- for my school

Please MAC I wanna order my DA before I miss out on it. I wore Rocker yesterday and even with minimal makeup it looked great on me and with Richelle's pics of how close they are I need need need it. I'm having a rough time right now with roomates and a toddler and need the pick me up. I have my debit card ready go and although it ain't much everyone here has theirs too and likely has more to spend then I do lol. Come on let's go MAC, bring it on!

Thank you so much; we're similar colouring although it looks like I have warmer undertones than you do. I think you just took the BP off my list. I already have Albatross which looks very similar and I don't tend to wear that to the office; I prefer the yet more subtle Nico.I went to an event tonight at my local store and brought back some swatches for you all!

What's new to my list is Showgirl. I hadn't expected that but I've liked the colour on everyone's swatches. Maybe I'll check that one out next week. The others are far too glittery for me. No surprise, I still like CIS and DA but I likely have near dupes for both.

Thank you for the swatches Anneri!!! Love, love, love the lippies. The dark blue-grey shadow looks marvelous. I had thought about getting either the white or the gold one. I can't make up my mind. I wish MAC would
ing put this up already! I have an eye appointment after work. I don't know how late I will get home. I don't want to miss the lippies.

As your slightly darker than I am maybe as I haven't been matched in a good while. What's your HG highlighter or what u use regularly if you haven't been blessed finding your HG? I am curious as I haven't played with highlighting much yet. TIA.

Thanks for the swatches (and everyone else too)! My list:
Love Godess l/s (most likely 2x)
Charmed I'm Sure l/s (it looks a lot like Runaway Red, but I love that shade and this is a matte finish, so justified)
Deeply Adored l/s (maybe 2x)
Scarlet Ibis l/s (this will be my BU)
The Perfect Cheek p/b
Legendary p/b
Forever Marilyn b/p
The reds look really nice. I can't wait till october 6th, that's the launch date here. I'll be there before the counter opens and run to the first MUA I see if there are a lot of people waiting. I love that the releases here are on saturday
