I got the very last one that my mall had though I will be going to the MAC store on Monday before work to see if they have any left, but hey, I'll enjoy it while I can. And the Reflects Gold, I wasn't that crazy about it at first but paired with Crystal Avalanche it is amazing. Definitely another thing I will buy multiples of.

I backed up "Hollywood Nights" before I'd even seen it!
Yes, I am that deranged.

I'm glad I did, though, because I LOVE it. In some of the photos I saw it looked a lot like "Impassioned," which I have and don't wear that much. However, I am pleased to report that "Hollywood Nights" is not like any of the many other fuchsia MAC lipsticks I own.
If I absolutely had to say, I think it's most like "Full Fuchsia."
To me, "Hollywood Nights" is approximately the color you might get if you mixed "Girl About Town" and "Full Fuchsia" together.
My favorite way to wear "Hollywood Nights" is blotted, with "Style Minx" Lipglass on top. This gives me a flattering bright "pop" of color.
BTW, I'm NW15, brunette, jade green eyes.

When I was younger... MUCH younger... like 8 years ago when I was 11 or 12, I actually wore my lipgloss to sleep because I was wondering if it would ever "dry up". It was my first ever lipgloss u see... and the texture was so different from lipsticks which were less sticky... LOL

I can't wait for Heatherette to hit Singapore! Taking ages! I just hope that I will have the money. I'm a total sucker for packaging (the holiday collections wiped out my savings like crazy) so this one is going to be a hard one to pass on.

My plans for now:
Both trios
All the lipsticks
Both beauty powder or maybe 2 Alpha Girl (I'm NC15/nw20, any advice?)
May get lipglass after seeing them in person
Pigments and glitters are also awaiting my honourable confirmation upon seeing them in person... any advice here too? I know the piggies are pretty but they seem to be easy to duplicate... yet I'd love to have EVERYTHING from MAC
Dual liners are also on the see-and-decide list
No nail polish for me...

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

I can't stop adding to my haul on this one. Totally passed on Fleshpot and Smooth Harmony because I did't think I could pull them off (NC20, red hair, green eyes). But I had an MA use Smooth Harmony as a crease color on my eyes (with Orb on the lids) and as a bronzer with Shy Beauty BPB. Such a beautiful neutral look. I just loved it and normally I am not a neutral type girl.

But the most amazing part was the lip.
First she applied Creme O Spice liner, then Fleshpot using the pencil brush (sorry I forget the number on that one) blending the l/s into the liner and then topped with Big Baby Plushglass. Gorgeous!!!

So my fair skinned friends, please don't think Fleshpot and Smooth Harmony can't work for you. It is all in the application and they are gorgeous.

I got another Sock Hop yesterday haha I'm sorry I just love this l/g. And I got the Nighthawk/Front Row pencil...sooo hot. I'm trying to resist bonus beat...but once i depot my eye shadows for b2m I might get it anyway. :-X My counter said they'll accept them so

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

Gaah, I picked up my box yesterday from the concierge (we live in a condo). I thought it was just the contacts we ordered b/c it's always taken 5+ days for MAC to deliver to me, even tho I live 1/2 hr away! I ordered on Wednesday night so I'm very very pleased. So in my hands I have my precious:

Trio #1
Fab Orchid/Dash Lily
Hollywood Nights!!!

I'm loving the trio, even tho Hoppin' is really a throw-away shadow in the collection. I wish Mood Ring was more pigmented but I can work with it. It's so pretty and glowy! And gorgeous as a lower liner... I pushed it right into the lashline with Cloudburst wet on the outer part of the line and aaauuugh.... LOVE!!!! Yes, I'm contemplating getting a backup just for Mood Ring but I just can't, this is already a stretch for me, lol.

Hollywood Nights is beautiful but definitely not something I can wear on a regular day out. It practically glows off my lips and gives me a sexy tropical look when wearing Mood Ring. As a stain it's great and wearable, so I'll test that out more in the summertime. I've never had a lippie I could call sex in a tube but I can definitely give the title to Hollywood Nights!

Looking at my eyes I feel like something's missing... like a set of lashes?

If they're still around in a few weeks I'll look into it!

Oh you need Bonus Beat. It is so pretty by itself or over any lipstick. The gold pearl in it is gorgeous.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

I kind of hope MAC will restock some of the lippies and Alpha Girl, so I can pickup a backup of Melrose Mood and AG. I don't suppose anyone's heard anything from their counters about a possible restock?

FYI: Connecticut counters are not getting restocked, nor will we ever get Bonus Beat, Style Minx, the Beauty Powders, or the Glitters.

And we only have 3 of each eye palette, no more Starlet Kiss, and are running very low on everything else.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

I really thought i wouldn't like the packaging at first but after seeing them in person i actually started to like it. i loveeeeeee the products this is probably my favorite collection out of all the ones that i have been actually able to buy. It's sooo much better then fafi in terms of the shadows and so much easier to work with. The over all look is sooo nice!! love it!! Definately going to be my favorite collection of the year i have to say and i really dont think that any of the other ones are going to come even close.

I'm NC15 and I got 2 Alpha Girl BPs. I thought the Smooth Harmony was too dark for me. But some people are using like a bronzer. It may work for you but it just didn't for me.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

Oh man this really stinks, my one MAC counter still has Alpha Girl BP and I really badly want to buy it except they don't take a student pro card at the MAC locations in the Bay... And since the powder is sold out online, I can't get it there!! Oh well, I guess I'll survive with owning just one haha.

I did the same thing a couple days ago. I have my pro card but I really wanted a backup of Alpha Girl, so I just took the hit of $22 @ my Nordstrom counter.
I can't stop buying from this collection. I love it!

Use the lighters glittery side on the inner half of your eyes, then blend out with the darker end on the outer half of the eyes. I find that would be the best use for them. More of an accent than an eyeliner to me.

This is what I like to do with coloured eyeliners too! I've got dry skin but I think bright eyeliners look so much better used on the lower lid with emphasis on the outer corner.

That most likely means they are going to email you saying the rest is out of stock. Cause it sounds like nowhere is getting restocked. What did you order? You might want to cancel the remaining items & try to get them from macys(if they still have them)

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

Here's a question for you guys. I got Heatherette Trio 2. Has anyone else noticed any difficulty blending Cassette with the other colors? I used the palette this AM and had a hard time with it.
