Flight of Fancy looks nothing like Narcissus imo. I relate Narcissus to being kind of a lavender with a hint of pink in it. That's why I love it as much as I do, because it's so gorgeous on its own. Flight of Fancy is much darker, maybe a hint of plum, and it has a reddish tone to it. Then FoF has sparkle/sheen in it, whereas Narcissus does not.
everything duckrodeo said, it also looks brownish under some lighting. but i love it, and think that everyone needs it!!

I didn't purchase any of the cremesheen glasses when the Daphne Guinness collection came out. After a while i also got huge skipper's remorse for Narcissus. But when i visited the pro store back in june, they still were there!

They still had all the other cremesheen glasses as well (Japanese Spring, Borealis, and Richly Revered).

I went to my MAC store today and was able to look at everything & swatch. Surprisingly I only did presale for Beauty & In the Limelight. I think I'm going to have to call them back tomorrow and also get the Lavish Rose set...can't stop looking at these swatches!

I already pre-ordered Innocence, Outrageously Fun and Glamourdaze from my local MAC along with Feminine Edge and I'm the One.

When the collection launches online, I can get BUs of the lipsticks, and I'll probably snag Impossibly Sweet and Deliciously Demure lipglasses. I'm up in the air on everything else at this point. I like the eyeshadow sets, but I might pick that up from my local MAC store.

I realized the Vanity Bag is a MAC store exclusive, and a part of me still really wants it, but the other part of me wants to just skip it. I think with the other collections coming out, I want to keep this haul a little light, so I can just get stuff I know 100% that I will love and use often.

I was just seeing these pics on Instagram. Seems like a really cool event.
yeah thats probably a really exclusive event. or maybe they are only doing their makeup with-out products like the marilyn ones. so theres no fuck*ng crazy people around

I received an invitation to that MAC event yesterday! I was wondering why I received it so late (felt like I was on the C list for a wedding, haha), until I realized that it was just a MACover event and not the whole bells and whistles preview event. They definitely went all out this time, most of their events aren't as nice. I passed by it and from what I could see they were using/selling the GD products. I can only imagine that they'll sell out on items just from pre-selling at this event! People getting their makeovers done will order stuff and people passing by will end up going to MAC to look at everything. I agree that it seems pretty unnecessary. Stuff sells out SO FAST without drawing extra attention to the store. I saw the people at the event and just thought of them as competition for the goodies, haha.

To be safe, I (finally) pre-ordered stuff from my favorite MAC counter instead.

I got:
Outrageously Fun l/s
Glamour Daze l/s - oh my goodness, I am in LOVE with this l/s! I'm pretty sure a BU is in order.
Stolen Moment EDES
Catch My Eye FL

I will probably go back and add a couple of the kohl pencils and more EDES (Stylishly Merry was very close to being added today, and I'm trying to decide between A Natural Flirt and Ready to Party. I may end up with both since I

EDES!). I want to add more to my list, but there are so many lovely (PURPLE) collections coming out soon....decisions, decisions!

My SA was trying to convince me to try on the blushes, but I remained strong and declined her offer! I knew that at least one of them would come home with me if I did, but I'm running out of space! We'll see if I end up buying some later on.

I might get the blue brush set. I really like the bag. Ha. Ya know. Cause that's a great reason to buy something. :) I ordered the bronzer kit. Looks like there is a little plastic flap to cover the lip products. I think it'll be cute and I really wanted the packaging. I cancelled my green shadow kit so I figure this will make up for it.

Thanks for the input, all of which I've taken into consideration.

I've added Flight of Fancy to my MAC store pre-order list because it doesn't sound like anything else in my stash. I have to call on Wednesday (10/24) morning to finalize the order and pay for it. I'll get my goods on Thursday, 10/25. The Nordstrom portion of my order will be finalized on the 25th, but unlike the MAC store order, I probably won't get the Nordie's order until Monday or Tuesday.

I've been trying to stay away from the sets and just get the EDES but I think I need the Luxurious Pink bag with Lickable in it. See this is why I wanted to order last week cause my list gets longer as time passes. Ugh.
