Thanks Lilinah for the breakdown! I'm still unsure but I'll assume my list won't change.


Ha! as soon as I saw the word taupe I thought yep for sure Naynadine will get it

Heehee, I didn't know my taupe-love was that obvious.

Satin Taupe is my got to e/s, even though I also love and buy lots of warmer, more bronze-y type of neutrals, but I feel taupe is the most flattering color on me.

I only have swatches of the eyeshadows, MSF's and blushes. I could never get good swatches from the lipglosses when the tip has been cut off already. The lipsticks weren't that great although I did try Venus on. It didn't turn up on my lips :( The lighting was horrible since it wasn't in the special back room I always go to...the one blush that an instant dupe came to mind was Solar Ray. It reminded me of Spaced Out from Neo Sci Fi! I would've gotten it if I even use my Spaced Out that much haha Supernova is very pigmented and I just had to have it. The MSF's are also pigmented and can be used as blushes. I only got Star Wonder since I have a lot of highlighters and I didn't know what to think of the brown one Earthshine. The MES were hit or miss. When I searched them I made sure to get all colors from the swirl and some were buttery smooth and others were glittery. Since some had smaller swirls than the others, some came out more duo chrome which I wish was caught on my iPhone camera. I didn't end up with any since I never reach for them. The cremesheens were all really pretty but I only picked up Galaxy Rose and Astral. Maybe I'll pick up the rest later....I love cremesheens though so I'm biased haha

Thank you for the swatches!!! Oh noes, I'm liking three more items in those swatches, Earthshine, Supernova and Universal Appeal. Not good, LOL.
And I'm totally loving Stratus in those swatches, the purple sheen that it has...

I'm curious for your opinion on whether I can pull off Stratus, Earthshine, or Ring of Saturn (even with a fan brush)?

...knowing how pale I am...

I keep going back and forth. I think I want Ring of Saturn and I'm still thinking of getting earthshine and maybe using it for a contour? I dont know.

oh and my friend told me at pro that for pre orders they are changing the policy. Usually they would just set it aside for me and when the release day comes they would either charge my card that I have on file and I can pick it up after or charge me when I go to the store. Now what they are doing is putting the total amount on a gift card and using that gift card when I pick up my items. I don't have the gift card since they keep it but just kinda sucked that I got charged today when I budgeted for next week's check. Luckily I didn't go to crazy and stayed within budget but still...

I live in San Jose... in Cupertino at the moment. I usually go to the MAC store in Valley Fair... but my schedule is pretty crazy so I just order everything online 99% of the time.

Ring of Saturn is so yummy in person! That should be on everyone's lists haha
I'm surprised...I had no idea what color it would look like when swirled up... it looked kinda reddish brownish and white in the pan in the pictures... but it looks like a nice coral...

*puts Ring of Saturn down as confirmed "yes"*

I think I'll wait and see for Status and Earthshine...
Hopefully some swatches will pop up of them on someone super pasty like me and I can see what I'm dealing with before I make the final call.
