So I havent had time to post about the products/the event yet.

First of all, the event in Seattle, WA at U Village was a MAD HOUSE. they were letting EVERYONE in it seemed like, because it was packed. I got there a little after seven, my apt was at 7:30 but they let us in. Seemed like they were letting others in with later appointments too. Girls were shoulder to shoulder in there, I was really surprised, because I was at the glitter and ice event and it was so chill. At 7:15, they already had a sold out sticker on the pale champagne color eye shadow. Not sure if they just didnt get any, or if they really already sold out. My girlfriend and I recognized that it was going to be crazy, so we quickly swatched everything, literally had to squeeze my way to the display to grab stuff just to swatch. I ended up with..

Beauty Lipstick (glaze): Wasnt sure I was going to get this. thought it was going to be way too light. When I swatched it and saw that it was a glaze, I figured what the hell. Its a pretty pale pink, with a hint of lilac on my lips. Love it.
Dramatic Encounter Lipstick (amplified creme): Wasn't sure about this either. Bought it anyway. Its really pretty, very dramatic on my NC20 skin, but It looks gorgeous with vino lipliner and dabbed down to a stain. There is more red/berry in it then YR.
Flight of Fancy lipglass: Didnt have anything like it in my stash. Its really nice.
Small Vanity Blush (Satin): LOVE THIS. It is my new favorite blush. its a beautiful dark mauve/pink and I dont have anything else like it in my stash. Beautiful on pale skin paired with Forever Marilyn.
Ready to Party EDSF: Yes, these are small. I didn't get any the first time around but I love colors like this. I might get divine blue when it shows up online too. I was a little disappointed in ready to party because its very sheer, and I had to pack it on quite a bit to get it to show where I wanted it. Which sucks because its so small. Very pretty, almost duochrome color.
Catch my Eye f/l: Beautiful. Much more taupe than in the online pictures. i think taking pictures of these dazzlepearl fluidlines is difficult because the flash picks up the sparkle and makes it look lighter than it is. Its very taupe, not silver, in person.
Little Black Bow f/l: I like this one a lot too. Its a blue/black with sparkle. Similar to Midnight snack but more sparkly, less blue.
Feminine Edge f/l: This is so cute! Such a pretty color! Not quite sure how often I will use it, but its so cute. Today I wore it on the lower lash line, and a fine line above little black bow. Very sparkly.

And that is all I got so far. I am waiting to see how Glamourdaze looks on my friend tonight, because I might pick that up too.

I'd managed to talk myself out of SV, but you may have convinced to at least give it a try!

I wasnt going to get it either. I had passed on all the blushes. When I walked up to the display though, it was what stood out to me the most, I had to have it. Online swatches dont do it justice.

sorry but its not the same....I compared it when I was at the store. if anything OF looks like a pink up the amp....
Looks like I'll just have to get both! :) hehe. I've been wanting Show Orchid for some time now. Think I'm going to wait until next spring to get it though.

I think Stylishly Merry is a skip for me. Plum Dressing is a close enough Dupe for me if I really need something similar. Not as shiny... maybe reflective (I don't know the word I'm looking for) but it works for me. Yeah! One more thing off my possibility list. :)
Thank you for this! Makes me feel better about skipping SM :)

Thanks for your thoughts :) So glad to hear that about Beauty! That sounds backup worthy to me. I love Glazes and am a sucker for those kinds of colors. I love my brights and vampy, but these kinds of colors are a lot more low maintenance. Just put it on and go! Bummed about Ready To Party. But maybe a colored base would bring it out more. Maybe mufe's light lavender aqua cream will :nods: I'm sooooo not listening to the blush talk, must... not... add to list! Lol

I went into the MAC that's connected to my Macy's today, and I got super excited for a second when I saw a very pink display. I thought it was for Glamour Daze and they had somehow put it up early, but as I rushed to get a better look it was just the Office Hours display. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed. LOL

Does anyone know how Stylishly Merry compares to Estée Lauder's Magenta Gelee eyeshadow? I'm trying to cut my list down and failing.

Which mall? I also pre-ordered at Macys. The one in Aventura.

I finally went to place my preorder at a Macys counter today and after paying and leaving the sales associate calls me and leaves a voicemail telling me i wont be able to get my items until Nov 8.

soooo. I went back told her that no, this part comes out on the 25th. She finally pulled out her book to look it up and apologized and told me she has been giving everyone wrong dates. so frustrating! I just want my lipsticks lol.

I thought the same thing! I think Magenta has more of a slight purple tint in it. Sidenote... I googled it and my swatches were on the second page! Lol sorry, it's exciting to me! Hehe Here's a link to my swatches... http://www.specktra.net/t/179987/el-fall-sneak-peak-and-great-article/30 Just scroll down :)
