I am really enjoying conjure up. I have been wearing it almost everyday since I purchased it. It creates such a perfect pink flush. Don't even get me started on how much I am still loving Midnight Madness.

That is just one of the prettiest taupe brown colors that MAC has ever made and I am not even the biggest fan of mineralize eye shadows.

Am I the only person who didnt like boy bait I bought it without swatching it or trying it our because I read such good things on here how it was the perfect nude not for me I have really pinky red lips and it looks like a sheer gloss over them without alot of that nude color I was looking for

I give boy bait 2 thumbs down!

by the way Im doing so good on my now buy but I have 2 dilemmas I have maybe 5 days left of moisturizer in my mac studio moisturizer and a drawer full of empties thanks to the girls on MUA and I trading. I have Over 50 empties in my drawer so Im due to go to MAC soon but Im going to try and use up my clinique drsamatically different too before I go that way I can save up some money and pry pick up a few extra's I love mac but need to use what I have before getting more. I dont even wear makeup every day pry 2 to 3 times a week thats it yet I have a 9 drawer vanity filled with MAC products.

Sorry to enable anyone who's trying to resist SDN, but you NEED to have this one!! I swatched it yesterday and fell in love with it! It's so pigmented and the texture's so buttery smooth, can i say more so than my favourite dainty!! Mmmm...

^^I don't have Dainty but I know that SuperDuper wouldn't like sharing space with her when she clearly is the winner on me.

I am not a huge fan of Dainty. It does not show up well on my NC 25/30 skin

I really prefer Fun & Games, Style or Sunbasque more!

OK I haven't ventured into the colour collection threads for a while but now I know that I need superdupernatural. I thought I'd be able to avoid all the holiday collections but if I come out of it with just one blush I think that's ok right?!

I don't own Lustering, and have never even seen it, but I've heard of it, and always got the impression that it has some coral in it.
Utter Fun doesn't have any coral in it at all.
Utter Fun is fairly close in color to Lickable, but is sheerer and has just a splash more red than Lickable.

I saw this collection today. Nothing screamed for my attention so I didn't buy anything on the spot, but I'll be going back after giving it a little more thought.

Nail polishes were nice, but not very unique IMO; I preferred $$$ Yes. I might get them anyhow, since I'm just starting to build my nail polish collection.

Blushes were nice, but I have too many blushes so I'm trying to avoid them. Conjure Up (which I preferred) is definitely more cool-toned than Love Thing, as mentioned earlier. Couldn't think of a dupe for SuperDuperNatural.

As for the eyeshadows, they looked like glittery messes to me, I almost didn't want to open the lids of the pots coz glitter particles were everywhere. My faves would have to be Blue Sorcery and Devil-May-Care.

Lipsticks were so-so. I didn't bother trying on Pervette coz I know light colors look horrid on me. Utter Fun is similar to Lustering or Speak Louder when swatched on my hand. Total Wow! is somewhat similar to Plumful. Don't know what Surprise Me is similar to, the closest match I found at the counter (with a rather limited selection) was Ramblin' Rose; Ravishing was more orangey.

Dazzleglass. So pretty, but I hardly use them. Phiff! was almost transparent, so not worth the price tag. She-Zam was pretty and unique, I think I'll go back for this one. I'm tempted by Jingle Jangle, but as mentioned earlier it's similar to Internationalist and Stepping Out both of which I own but have not used, so I really should skip this. Yikes.

As for the cremesheen glasses, I've managed to resist them once before, I believe I can do it again. I prefer lipglosses that have some sparkle to them anyway.

So it looks like I will be going back for She-Zam for sure, and most probably $$$ Yes. I'm unsure about Lucky Number, Devil-May-Care, Blue Sorcery, and Conjure Up (what's the closest dupe for this?). If they allow, I'll B2M for Total Wow! and/or Surprise Me.

Me too! It didn't show up on my NC30 skin and it was rock hard. I had to swipe it about 100 times to get any color to show up on my cheeks. But maybe I got a bad one?

I think I'm gonna pick up Superduper, the color payoff is much better!

Yes, DO, especially if you like silver!
I have She-Zam, and the longer I have it, the more I love it.
Someone compared it to tinsel for the lips, and that's a fitting description, but She-Zam is more subtle than that.
It's absolutely packed with extremely fine silver and magenta "sparkles."
She-Zam reminds me a bit of my beloved Snowscene, though She-Zam is silver, not white, and is sheerer than Snowscene.
I wouldn't wear She-Zam on its own, because I hate pale lips on me, but it's spectacular over the deeper lipsticks.

I don't know why it took MAC so long to come out with a silver Dazzleglass, but I'm glad they finally did!
I may get a backup ...
