ok, I saw this today on my way home and skipped it. Nothing really wowed me, not even the teal MES

Also, I think I'm coming down with something...my body aches and I've had a headache since this morning :/

I bought Conjure Up so I'm crossing my fingers that i'll work for me.

I also bought a brush set and a couple eyeshadows just from the regular line. The Greasepaint Sticks were all sold out, I was going to get a back up but I might get that online.

Ok I cannot Multi Quote I keep getting bumped off

Dream l/s was pretty...But not unique enough IMO to warrant paying $36....I can B2M for a Baby Sparks and I already have a Dervish l/p that I don't use...
it remined me on the ines of Masque L/s but creamier

The Palettes are Tiny....My MA said they were complaining about it as well

Shadowy Lady ....I agree nothing has the WOW factor for me either...other Than Utter Fun l/s it dries to the most perfect lip stain...will try to photograph and post later if Specktra allows

Karin/Elegant
YES!!! I am having a slow snail paced forum and everytime I try to respond I get the Unavailable message too

So, after I read your post about UF - I rummaged through everything

& I don't think I have anything like it but I'm having a hard time believing that.

You don't have Secret Crush lip stain do you - I want it to be like that

Anyone????

Oh, & what about Total Wow - is it really like Stark Naked in color as Tempt. says?

I'm in a funk

 

[TISH1124]

Utter Fun l/s ....My Photographer was 7...please bear that in mind!

Blotted worn as Stain

how are rthe brushes? are they good quality?

Tish - Is Utter Fun anything like Lickable?? It looks lickable-ish to me...

Purrty - Your description of Dream sounds amazing! I may have to add that back onto my list after kicking it off.

I ended up placing an order online for my first goodies (free shipping!). I got Boy Bait and Surprise Me and passed on everything else for now. I almost caved on an MES, but I know better. That glitter will drive me nuts and the MES will end up tossed out of a window one day...it will find a better home with others who will appreciate it.

(PS: Yep, the site is super slow for me too, and I had a really hard time even getting on today!)

I was trying to figure out colors, post, - then on tv I see this weather balloon flying thru the air with a lil 6 yr old boy in it - supposedly???

Geesh, the ornery lil bugger was hiding in a box in his attack

what a trippin thing to watch

Well, the swatch really did look like SN - not that I always trust those, so Thanks Tish

Utter Fun (left) Lickable (right) UF has a slight Red tint to it...

And it may depends on the lip pigmentation or skintone...However the swatch that Erin did looked nothing like that on me or my swatches it was more Berry so not sure


Ladies I am having the hardest time posting for some reason....

 

[purplerinne]

alright I just got back from the pro store and ended up getting Boy Bait (holy crap i'm backing that one up!), Partial to Pink, the pink nailpolish, Surprise Me, and Superduper Natural blush. Then I ended up at Nordstrom to pick up the 2 lip bag sets...i figure since I can't get the discount on it I can at least rack up the points towards a Nordstrom Note. I thought I was done with MAC with those 2 hauls but when I got home UPS arrived and gave me 2 big ol black boxes containing my Volcanic Ash stuff and backups of some Dazzlecremes, Style Black, and DSquared. I would've gotten more from the holiday collection but my hard drive crashed last night

PHEW...hauling done until December 26....

She Zam & Jingle Jangle - Got those two...I found Phifft to be just Pffft ..Passed $$$Yes n/l - was really silver pretty .... MES - were all pretty....With the exception of the Crescent Glitter disaster! Passed Nothing else phased me...I looked at the kits they were all pretty but skippable for me...I can wait and get them later

Tish NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I promise you Conjure Up is not like Merrily and if it is I will owe you $20 bucks. Thats how sure I am. LOL

Trust me I LOVE Merrily and it's more red. Conjure Up has a more plummy base to it. I didnt try it on my face yet, I just swatched it. But I will try it soon...maybe tonight because I plan to do a review on youtube.

Its sooo pretty in the pan!!!!

I loved the MES that was in Pinkazoppin the love connection I bought that seperate well B2M for it since I did like it and it wasnt a discontinued MES.

I promise you they are very close....I will swatch next to it...Do you need my address for the mailing of my $$$

 

[makeba]

cocodivatime is right about conjure up being more plummy based and nothing like merrily. merrily is more red while conjure is more pink/plum for sure. i thought this same thing today while at the mac counter until i got home and swatched them. (runs to hide>>>>

I'm not sure yet I ordered them from one of the counters. I'll let you know when I get them.

 

[TISH1124]

I don't have Conjur MB so I had to use the swatch I took earlier...makeba or cocodivatime please show us a swatch because maybe my lighting is off...and this may need to be on my list...But even My MA said she thought it was too close to Merrily
