*puts enabler hat on*

If the latter restock, that'll be your sign to throw in Stolen Moment.

*takes enabler hat off*

LOL! You have convinced me to do that.

I compared Easy Manner and Pink Tea blushes. Believe it or not, they are almost identical! At first, I kept thininking that Easy Manner would be like a dirty peachy version of Immortal Flower but it's not. If you have Pink Tea and feel that you don't need Easy Manner, it is safe to skip Easy Manner.

I got to see, but not test, three of the six Guilty Passions sets. I didn't get to test because my local MAC was just cuh-raaaaa-zy busy today with shoppers and make up appointments. At least i got to peek at two lip gloss boxes - 4 Lavish Rose Lip Gloss & 4 Nicely Nude Lip Gloss - and one crushed metallic pigment box - 4 Tenderly Warm Crushed Metallic Pigments. The sets are all lovely, but...

I went a little nuts with the Vera collection and got ALL THREE metallic pigment sets. I think the Tenderly Warm set is a bit like the Aloha set, but it has a warm pink that reminded me of one of the colors in the Strawberry Patch set. And Moss Garden which is in the Brilliantly Cool set was in the Vera Butterfly Party set. So, what with all the Mineralize e/s i got from Heavenly Creature and all the Extra Dimension e/s i picked up today from Glamour Daze, i'm going to pass on those two sets. But i never seem to have too many purples, so i may cave in and get the Sweetly Smoky set, which has 3 violets or purples (plus a pale cool pink).

In the "4 Lavish Rose Lip Gloss" box what i really want is the Boys Go Crazy lip gloss. I'm not really excited about the two opaque Cremesheen glosses: Going Casual & Colour Saturation. Sigh. Anyone hate Boys Go Crazy and love GC and CS and want to trade?

Yes, easily! The brush pouch is quite long. Much bigger than I thought it would be.

You've sealed my fate. I've just made myself a liar.

Sucks you went through that, but happy that it worked out and you got Superb and WOG. If it didn't, I have an extra of each that I would have parted with.

I ended up not getting Divine Blue because it looked like someone tried to swatch it on the down low and think I wouldn't notice. I definitely knew because I was able to take a sneak peak the Sunday prior. Don't know if it was an employee, or an employee who pulled it from my bag in order to show it to another customer, and that person did it.

Only other time I experienced this was with Reel Sexy - someone pulled my Heroine and my SA pulled it back since I was the first to ask for it at that store. Fortunately, those have been the only two incidents I have personally experienced.

Awwww Yazmin, you are always sooo sweet! I know it sucks to even think that someone might of put their dirty fingers on your stuff

double yuck!

Well, it was $19.50 + tax saved...until I added something else.

I did the same thing when I returned Feminine Edge, I initially said money saved then I realized my blacktrack had a hole in the middle and I could see the glass at the bottom the funny thing is tho I just went thru my bag and realized that the MUA gave me Blacktrack but forget to take FE out of the bag now the question is should I take it back or keep it??? Decisions, decisions my husband says I should keep it considering their indiscretions but I don't know I don't feel so great about keeping it

It would be a small consolation to keep it given their mistakes and indiscretions, not to mention the fact that if you return it, it's going to get destroyed anyway. If you don't want it at all, you could either take it back, or pay it forward and gift it to someone else.

Definitely keeping it, I though about giving it to my sister with the rest of her Christmas stuff so more than likely that's where it'll go

 

[alisabosco]

would love to see someone post a pic of an eye look with A Natural Flirt. Trying to convince myself i don't need it but the swatches look so beautiful!

Guess what I BU-ed?

 

[Mac-Guy]

I am trying to fight the urge to back up Stolen Moment EDES since it might become my HG eyeshadow. I imagine pariing it with Satin Taupe and Dark Edge/Showstopper e/s. As for Outrageously Fun and Impossibly Sweet, I plan to back both of them up soon whenever MAC restockes online.

If it is your HG e/s, get a BU.

 

[MACina]

MacAddictNurse....Glamourdaze looks gorgeous on you!!!

I am so sorry this happened to you at the store

It is good to know that you were finally able to get everything you wanted.Enjoy your goodies!

I did see those Feminie Edge pictures and they also give me hope. I only plan to use it as a liner. I've been using the 211. I'm not sure if there's a thicker brush to use.

The 209.

Nothing wrong with your cheeks. I love the pic in your avatar too. You make such a cute couple!

I haven't been here (been sick, boo), but here is what I ended up hauling on Thursday. This was more than I wanted to get, but I couldn't knock anything else off of my list!

Outrageously Fun lipstick
Divine Blue EDES
Ready to Party EDES
Stylishly Merry EDES
Catch My Eye FL
Feminine Edge FL
Mystery Kohl Power
I'm the One blush

I am done with this collection now, except for the lavender gloss set.

OF lipstick is GORGEOUS! I wore it out and about today, and I love it. Also wore Mystery; mine looked exactly like Temptalia's swatches when I first put it on. So strange! I had to go over and over it on my left lower lash line, until finally it worked. It applied easily on my right lower lash line after that. Maybe they just need to be broken in?

Originally, I wanted FE and Little Black Bow FLs, but LBB looked like Midnight Snack + glitter on me, so I skipped and went with CME instead. I am not sure if I will be able to keep FE or not. I need to test it on my lower lash line (which is how I will use it) and see if it irritates my eyes. I had wanted Round Midnight EDES, but it pulled a hideous shade of brown on me, so that was a skip. Small Vanity was tempting me too until I swatched it-- it pulled a weird orange shade on my skin.

Innocence lipstick was so pretty too, but I will wait and see if that ends up in my CCO. Ditto for Easy Manner blush; Orpheus, Raven; and Stolen Moment & Evening Grey EDES. If they don't, not worried about it.
