Thanks so much for the swatches Shontay and Erin! MUCH appreciated! Of course can't wait for more! But I'm greedy like that! This is going to totally be a huge haul!

I wanted to B2M for one of the lipsticks but I have to ship my empties to the closest MAC counter and that's over $8 to ship it. So that doesn't really seem free.

For those of you that have seen them, what's the quality of the bags for the brushes and other sets? Are they pretty nice?

I think they're very nice. I'm bummed that I don't really want the brushes because I do want the bag. I wish I could buy it separately.

Yay I love swatches! My list changed quite a bit, I felt sort of violent making massive cuts, lol.

Definitely :
Play it cool palette
Family crest pigment (my first!)
Undercurrent (I passed this the first time around, but Erin's swatch convinced me. It's like a mermaid in a stick!)
Viva glam bag
sir teddy

I'm tempted by the brush sets, love the bag and I like my sigma brushes so just never tried a mac one, but everyone says the SH ones aren't good.

there's a big difference between SH and SE brushes. SH are the same quality as full sized brushes, just with a shorter handle. SE brushes come in the sets, and have an inferior quality compared to regular and SH brushes.

OMG I wasn't having the best day until NOW! hehe thanks sooo much erine1881 & shontay07108!!

I am now less excited about some of the stuff which is REALLY GOOD (last time I edited my wishlist the total was $842.50 although that is including the piggies and lipglasses sets) and am totally crazy for some other

The more I see pics of 6 Beauties Play It Cool the more I keep trying to convince myself it is waaaay to similar to Sorceres palette from last year. What do u guys think?

So my Nordies is doing a pre-sale for this stuff and I saw it in person yesterday and HOLY I'm in love with the bags
yahoo.gif
I was before too when I saw a few pics online but in person it's much better!! They didn't even have the entire collection yet so the MUA told me to come back next week when they have all the stuff. I'm soo excited but my mom wasn't too happy lol She goes to be wait didn't you just buy some collection last week (VV) and now your talking about this but what can I say I don't think she will ever understand my obsession

Exactly. I would buy the bag, but I don't have the funds to pay for a small $50 brush bag.

Wish I did.

No!!! These swatches are making me add WAY more! I said I was gonna cut back.

Eeeee! Thanks for the swatches you guys! I was laughing about you being under the counter, shontay, checking out the stuff

I loved your shadow swatches--they made me like the shadows more but I think I'll stick with just getting Glamora Castle cuz I need to go easy with my money right now.

My list right now:
Blackline
Undercurrent
Faerie Glen
Glamora Castle
MAYBE Family Crest
MAYBE HBC
