yup tell me abt it!! I only bought it cos I used to my points to get 20 bucks off.. else I wasnt planning on getting it

... CC blushes were also 44

and MSF's were 46.. kinda crazy rt!!! and the usual line of Mineralise blushes are still 37..

Were CC blushes $44 as well? I don't mind as much coz they're like mini MSFs. But these blushes, now they're exactly like the Sonic Chic ones, so I don't see the reason behind the price hike.

Lucky you, I would love to get SDN too.

i put SDN on hold at the counter - they are $52 here. and MSF went up from $52 to $68 when colour craft came out. needless to say i will not be buying anymore MSF.

Ahhhh, SDN is so gorgeous, but so pricey. i ended up only buying devil may care MES - wow!! ive got it on, paired with young punk MES in the crease - looks so good! they are made for eachother.

i really wanted the nail polishes too, and alot of the other MES, i just wish i had more money to drop on this collection. gorgeous

In other news...I finally caved. Midnight Madness and Under Your Spell are both headed my way with the lipglass sets. I don't know how 2 MES ended up in my cart.

I know I'll hate the glitter madness sections, but I'm in love with the base colors. I just couldn't resist any longer!

 

[TeresitaMC]

Same here! Just can't resist those amazing colours! I'll be ordering Midnight Madness thanks to all the great feedback (minus you know what). Probably tomorrow with my Mischief Makers haul

This doesn't make sense, MAC.

This means we should get the regular MB from the mineralise line quickly. Otherwise after this rotation, they will be $44 when they are repromoted?

 

[TeresitaMC]

Happy belated Birthday GlamQueen!!!! I hope you had fun

Is there swatches of the mini lip sets anywhere?

Midnight Madness for me as well!

I was pleasantly surprised by these MES' rich pigmentation when I swatched them last week. I also swatched the glittery side wet and it's definitely manageable - way better than the swatches I've seen here.

I may also pick up SDN - only if I feel generous!

That's great to hear! And I think the gold that comes with MM will be more useful than silver for me...maybe. I'm not sure. Whatever

I can't wait to get it. I love every single colour though! I wish I was feeling that generous also so I could get them all

 

[LMD84]

i was hoping my package would be dispatched yesterday but no! booo! maybe my goodies will come tommorow!

 

[TeresitaMC]

^ Awwww! I'm sure they will

It'll be worth the wait

yes, thats why i ended up with the MSFS cos it was only 2 bucks more:0.. the MES are 35 , I dont understand! I guess I'll wait for some shade of MES tht can double as blush hehe

Belateedddd happy birthday Glam!

I'm super confused with this collection. Don't know what to get! I read somewhere that the MES can be easily duped and the glitter part is a beyotch to work with? I dont know if it's worth 20 euro for for only half the eyeshadow. I am going to get It's a miracle though hihihi,...i'm really into plums/purples atm.

For those who already have these shadows. Are they indeed easily duped? I heard Steamy for blue sorcery? and Satin taupe for midnight madness?

I'm really super excited about the brush sets. I know you cannot really compare the quality with the real brush but they're just so cute!

 

[assistedsuicide]

I just called the pro line in the UK about using pro discount and the woman was SO rude to me! So I was like "Oh, so how comes I got to use pro discount on the holiday stuff last year!?" and she basically had no answer.

Midnight Madness is nothing like Satin Taupe...trust me, I tried to dupe it and skip MM too lol. Satin Taupe is more brown and MM is more grey toned on my skin tone.

I think Parrot or Talent Pool would probably be a closer match for Blue Sorcery than Steamy.

 

[LMD84]

my goodies have been dispatched!
