Me too. I'm hopeless.

I totally agree with the not wanting to "spoil" VV revenue theories.

I know myself and several others are spending more on VV because we have no info here yet. I won't be cutting down my VV list to save for things here, because we don't know what will be here!

It's brilliant really if you think about it. More sales and crazy hype for VV, and just enough time between that and the first part of TT for the addicts to already want something new.

Let's face it, it doesn't matter how much I spend on VV...I'll still be spending a small fortune on this one too.

Agree with everything you said! I'll be doing the same.

I love pressing piggies. I gotta order some pans and stuff from CS soon...

Maybe the lack of info is a plot to get us to forget about budgeting and just impulse buy? Once its spent on VV, then when we see how cool the TT is, we have to buy anyway???

Why do I have a gut feeling they might change this release for Nov? Maybe they havent got the color story out because they are adding things from the discont Rodare coll? and/or to not take any attention away from VV. Just a thought

I wish they would so I'd have more funds, but I don't see it happening.

 

[Susanne]

This is what we all can do while waiting for the color story:

 

[Shoegal-fr]

It might be a plot, yes!

But that's okay cuz i won't spend a dime on VV. Was going to get the MES but decided against it since i already have the Nars night series eyeshadows.

More money for Tartan Tale! Woot!

I'll be spending a good chunk of change on VV, but I did cut back by about $200 in preparation of TT.

 

[Shoegal-fr]

I hope the Tartan Tale color story will reinforce your decision!

I know it will! I'm already in love with the pigments, the peach blush, and four lipsticks (just from pre-pics and names

). And who knows on the sets....

I have to say I'm not crazy about dg cremes, either. I gave it a try with i want candy from a+o, but i never use it. granted, it is a crazy color, but i like crazy- so i think it's issues with formula. at least that saves some money for sets.

i have a couple from last year, amourour and creme allure. stunning colours! just hate the gloss! it's so thin and runny and isn't opaque at all

and it ran off my lips even with liner!

That is what I think to, also they are not relying on MAC addicts for their holiday collection. alot of of causal make-up junkies are waiting for this for themselves or as gifts so they are not worried about sale number of TT.

I hate it that my work firewall blocks access to almost all the pics posted here... I suppose some might say that I shouldn't be lurking on Specktra at work...

I don't love the Dazzleglass Cremes but I don't hate them any more than any of the other thin-textured glosses (regular Dazzleglass, Cremesheen glass...). I got I Want Candy and I like it well enough. It just needs to be reapplied pretty frequently. I guess I'll file all of these products in the "possibilities if the colour is really nice" bin and continue to wait for a colour story.
