I don't think you should feel obligated to give it to her; you did do the work to get it. You don't need to feel guilty about having purchased everything you wanted from the collection. There were multiple ways and places to buy from.
I think Belks has Silver Screen online so you could always grab another one. http://www.belk.com/AST/Main/Belk_Primary/Beauty_And_Fragrance/Shop/Beauty/Eye_Shadow/Powder/PRD~5900090MN95/MAC+Marilyn+Monroe+Large+Eye+Shadow.jsp?off=10

This might be a real conundrum, but there's no right or wrong here...just your conscience, and solely based on what you've shared here, it sounds like you'll regret not giving your friend SS. Besides-which, you like the e/s that was the real standout of the eyeshadows...'Prefferred Blonde'.
Haha! I'm counting on the fact that my coworkers all belong to the group of people that do not see the differences. They never comment on anything but a few weeks back they were awakened to the fact that "just how many nail polishes do you have, hundreds?" To which I said "No, def not! Dozens!" (I may have about 150 which is not THAT much.) I really would not like to have a discussion with them on just how many e/s, l/s or other MU stuff I have!!Hush. It's a huge difference. I have Douceur, Blushbaby, Prism and TPC and I have convinced myself that they're all VERY different.
Seriously though, if we addicts didn't see differences in shade/tone/finish that most makeup wearers dismiss as insignificant, we'd all have one peach blush, one pink blush, one neutral, possibly a red, a bronzer and call it a day.
Well, I don't think you are being selfish. I can understand your friend being sad but I can understand you too because of the hassle you went through, like you've said. If the thought of giving SS e/s to your friend automatically makes you happy, then do it! If you feel that you really need the e/s, then don't.
I'm excited because I was finally able to make the Forever Marilyn b.p sow on my skin.. I finally understood the raves on it and wish I had gotten a back up..
LOL that's how I used to do makeup. 1 red, pink, peach blush, lipstick, lipgloss... I thought when I had that then I'd be done. Then I discovered collex, blogs, specktra, and it's been downhill every since.Hush. It's a huge difference. I have Douceur, Blushbaby, Prism and TPC and I have convinced myself that they're all VERY different.

That is completely up to you.
Exactly!

This was also my naive thinking in the beginning.
