I feel the same way! I am wearing the Barbie Pearl Sunshine today just to convince myself that I don't need Shell Pearl....but Shell Pearl is still calling to me...ahhhhh!

Ugh, I'm starting to feel this way about Blue India too. I usually don't like MAC quality for n/p but I think I'm feeling the LE/sellout fever about this one too.

Sooooooooooo guess who went back and bought GMLOL & Bough Grey anddddd Naked liner?

Me me me me!!!

The MA's at the counter laughed bc they said they all made a bet with each other that I would come back today for more stuff.

Kind of embarrassing but they know me well so whatever. lol

I am happy now with everything and I am officially done with this haul/collection. Seriously. *puts enablers on ignore* jk!

I kind of feel that way about Blue India too. It's a really pretty colour, just I have never been happywith any of the MAC polishes I've tried. They always chip on me either same day or next day I do my nails.

I am in love with this collection!

I went to MAC yesterday and got Perennial High Style lipgloss, Shell Pearl Beauty Powder, and Blue India Nail Polish.
I bought Shell Pearl because I wanted at least one of the compacts and it looks so much prettier then the tester at the store!

Omg me too! I have always depotted my shadows but this will be the first time I won't be doing so bc of the wonderful flower prints! Bc I don't think there has ever been a nicer shadow pot than this. All we have seen are just colored pots, no real design or anything.


Oh and now I have all the shadows!

But I wanted to mention that when I swatched Bough grey (tester) yday @ the counter, it was gritty and the color pay off was horrible! So I decided against it. But when I went back again, I decided to give it another try and the tester was pure butter! WHAT THE HECK

???
So I decided to buy it and thank God my is smooth and buttery and the color payoff is soo gorgeous!

LOL I have not sent my GMLOL back yet despite saying I was going to yesterday...because I ordered Bough Grey and want to see how they look together. Is it the combo that changed your mind about GMLOL or something else?

 

[obscuria]

My lovely best friend bought me stuff from this collection as a super late x-mas present. He is the greatest. He found the items I wanted by going through an online convo I had with another friend on livejournal. Imagine my surprise last night. Haha.

He got me:
Dame's Desire
Blue India
Bough Grey
Birds & Berries
Prim & Proper
Shell Pearl

Good! Bc the MA's told me to put both of them together too! And the reason I got GMLOL was bc I will be using this color a lot on my clients. I have Pen & Pink but I could use this as a back up and it comes in a pretty floral pot.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

wow, I went away one day and look how this thread has grown!

And everybody stop tempting me with your raves for Birds n Berries! I have Deep Blue Green p/m and though I know they're not the same, I think one deep teal shade should suffice me!

 

[AudreyNicole]

Monica, now you have me rethinking GMLOL e/s. Ughhhhhhh!

Let me know how it works out for you. And now I am kind of wishing I would have waited to get Free to Be in special packaging so I can have them all matchy. I think I have issues.

Personally I'm glad I got it

Me too! It's really cute. I love the design and I personally think they are much better looking than the hello kitty and fafi bags even if they are not as sturdy. I wasn't fond of the hello kitty design at all but loved the collection!

haha When I was doing my second haul, this male MA who called me the liberty of london girl was like we have a scarf here too. I was "No it's ok", and he's like "just think about it". haha he wasn't pushy or anything.

I am cut off from MAC at this point.

Hahaha well tbh, GMLOL is really not that bad. I swatched it on my hand and I liked how soft it was, texture is okay but its workable. I definitely like it better than Rosey Outlook from SF bc RO looked more white than pink on me. And GMLOL is a light baby pink. I say get it! You can use it with Bough Grey!

I didn't get along with Rosy Outlook. I returned it. Would you say that the payoff is better with this one? Is is pigmented enough for me to use as a lid color as opposed to just a brow highlight? It looks so pretty in the pot...

 

[omgitzstephanie]

I just wore In Synch l/l under Ever Hip l/s and I love it! It brings out the pink in Ever Hip

Definitely recommend you guys on trying it!

Yes! The payoff is definitely better than RO IMHO. It is pigmented enough for the color to show up, it is very buildable. I would certainly not use this as a brow highlight though. : Its too pink to be used as one. RO could have gotten away with being a highlight bc it was so dull and anti pink. I am so glad I didn't buy RO.

I just got back from my GMLOL haul!
I ended up only getting
ever hip l/s
phs l/g

I was going to get prim & proper blush, but when I swatched it I thought that it was a bit too dark, and I'm not that great at applying blush with a light hand.

I really liked the eyeshadows, but I bought a lot from spring colour so I decided to pass. I'm planning on a big mac haul around my birthday/prom/high school graduation (all of which are a few days after to the beach comes out!!!), so I think I'm going to try to go on a no eyeshadow buy until then (I want to get a lot of permanent colors).

Ooh thanks for the rec! I was going to mention that Ever Hip needs a l/l...it's unfortunate, because it's such a great color but I am sad that it is a cremesheen, I can't get much color payoff.

On another similar note, I just put on Petals and Peacocks, and it is pure love!!

I am going to post some pics on my blog of it, and if I get SUPER confident, I might even post them on here too.
