I hope

will come soon. However, with three new collections up it will probably take a week or a week and a half or so before I have the goods. Will try to swatch them in store Saturday anyways... I hope (and expect) it to be better than IF.
I believe it will be too and now I'm glad I returned IF since LA looks exactly like what I wanted.

Did a live chat thing earlier and the MUA said Launch Away! is a much softer shade than IF and a real soft peach with no pink.
If that would be the case, that would be a disappointment. However, if there is a subtle shimmer at least it can be used as a highlighter or some kind of glow. Perhaps the MUA was thinking about MM instead of IF?

I was looking through my beauty stash last night and realized my Urban Decay BOS II has a similar green to Feeling Fresh. With that in mind, even if they're not exact dupes it's a good incentive for me to pass on the shadow. Money saved! I'm going to try my best to keep my HS haul light since I plan on getting the MSFs in Heavenly Creature.

I ordered them. I thought the swatches on http://beautyicon.pl/fotorelacja-mac-reel-sexy-hey-sailor were great.

Softness doesn't mean lack in pigmentation, Pink Cult is "soft" but its very pigmented. I think the MUA is saying LA isn't as vibrant as IF and will give a more natural/subtle finish, it certainly looks pigmented in the swatch.

I'm not sure, wasn't IF described as a "bright peach"? I think it was slightly corally. You could be right though.

I have tried IF twice so far on my own face using denser brushes like the 128 but I cannot say that it is very noticable. One of my subtlest blushes I think. Both times I grabbed MM to layer on top of IF for a more noticable effect. I will play with IF later when the rush of the other blushes wears off...

Who are you going for?
West Coast I'll be happy with the Lakers or Clippers going all the way. So proud of the Clippers making history last night! That game was awesome!!

I feel bad for the Bulls fans though with Derrick Rose tearing his ACL...

Yeah IF leaned more coral than peach and LA looks like a true peach which matches the description. They appear to be quite different from what I see thus far.

I know, so terrible for the Bulls and him. I can support you with the Clippers but I just can't with the Lakers, sorry.

I'm really interested in the eye liners. In another post Mac-Guy mentioned liner as an option for shadows on hot summer days so I need to add more colours.

Are you talking about Kush? I was thinking the same thing for that shadow. As pretty as it is its dupable. Same with the gold shadow. As pretty as the blushes are Tres Cheek has me on blush overload.
Due to money issues I have to start cutting down my lists BIG time. I think it will just be...
Red Racer l/s & Emerald Sea liner. I'll maybe get the Au Rose suntint, but not really sure. What are everyones opinions on those? I've never owned one.

I'm so sorry about your kitty miss dynamite. Losing a pet is one of the hardest things to have to do.

Oh yeah there's Kush, too, from the NYC palette. The green I was thinking of is Homegrown in the second book of shadows. Feeling Fresh and Homegrown look to be similar-toned yellowy greens.
