I got the peach brush set today! I was really surprised when I opened it at how short the brushes actually were...but I am excited to try the 130se with my Wog and Superb! Thanks for the suggestions! I went to see the coral cheek set today at my Mac store. I got there at 10 and it was closed due to a power outage! I drove 40 minutes to get there and kept checking for lights all the way there. The only block affected by the outage was the block that the Mac store is on! Drove to another mall, which was also closed due to a power outage, so I finally just went to a mall by me, but it was only a Macy's so no cheek kits. First I thought, well maybe it's not meant to be, but then I came to my senses and decided I will drive back to the Mac store tomorrow night after work!

So I'm trying really hard not to give in and get any of the sets this year, but the hat-box-style packaging is just so cute! I really think I have to resist though, with all the other collections coming out before the end of the year. *pout*

I don't think that's quite it. I've worn dark lipsticks before and liked them, but this one just almost seems TOO dark. Saying that I don't wear nude lips either. I tried Pure Zen and just felt like I looked really, really weird. I may have to keep playing with it. I guess I just like my more pinky colours, or MLBB or something with just a slight different colour. I dunno. I always do colourful eye makeup so when I wear a really out there lipstick I suppose it's natural I feel a bit out of place.

I only JUST tried my DA and CIS from MM as I've been terrified of them. I love DA. CIS I'm iffy on. I also did Vino l/l with Rebel and it is MUCH more the colour I wanted it to be but I'm still looking for that perfect berry colour I think.

I'm guessing you've tried this already, but I felt it was worth mentioning that I love love love Vino l/l with Dark Side l/s. It's my go-to deep berry/wine shade. And if you want to make it a bit deeper and more purple, you can put Flight of Fancy l/g over it and it looks gorgeous. Like I said, probably not news to you, but HTH anyway!

Fortunately, Sandy hasn't cause any real issues in my area to my knowledge. We haven't lost power and I don't think there was any damage. I was really nervous about the very tall trees around my building, but it was more like a really bad storm on my end.

My review of the divine desire pink kit after wearing the products all day....

The blush is amazing! Great color! Extremely pretty! Lasts all day. I did my makeup this morning at 6:30 am, and it still has not completely disappeared. It started to fade a bit after eight hours. Love this color. I would buy a BU if it weren't only in this kit.

The ls also is amazing. Amazing color with amazing wear! I applied it at 6:30 am - ish, and there was still a noticable stain on my lips at lunchtime (12:15pm). This ls lasted through 2 stupid meetings, several cups of coffee & diet Cokes, etc... It only came off with eating lunch. I would buy a bu if it weren't only in this too expensive kit.

The lipglass was another winner! Very pretty color which lasted for several hours after lunch.

The only pain in the arse product was the eyeliner. Very dry and difficult to work with. Yet it is still hanging on after many hours. So pain in the neck to use, but it lasts (at least on me). This color is very dupable too.

Don't know what I will do with the makeup bag. It isn't really my style. I haven't used the brush yet.

I need to dig out weekend getaway and WMS to see how comparable the colors are to these products. I am hoping that they are close enough to kill any crazy bu urges that I may feel.

Looking again at the swatches on T's blog, they are accurate.

Also I tried the warm eyes palette, and I really like it.

Thankyou so much for letting me know, always worried they might miss collections that sell out fast on Mac website. I might try them

Yes Australia Mac prices SUCK alot


LoveSpree said:

linainoz & princess sarah, I use Lyka from Parcel It On www.parceliton.com.au ... she is FANTASTIC!! I have used her at least 7 times now, and just recently for the Marilyn collection. For parcel forwarding I think it's $15 regardless of how many packages you get sent to her ($2.50 for package consolidation, like if you order a few packages she will pack them together), then there's a 3.9% admin charge then postage. Works out to be half the price of what you would pay in Australia, and that's including postage and the mail forwarding fees etc! She can even do custom purchases for you or use her c/c to buy from the MAC site. Amazing!

I know, the Australian prices are horrible!! $36 for one lipstick is outrageous in my opinion.

pretty kitty is media like rocker, without the glitter???

im looking for dark red lippies with the formula like rocker.

Rocker's a tad lighter. Media isn't matte and I know you were looking for a finish similar to Rocker. From lightest to darkest, it's:
Deeply Adored
Diva
Rocker
Media
Sin (Pro--a very deep red)

Wow, just saw the preview swatches on Temptalia for the sets...soo glad I preordered 2 Lavish Rose, and I'm in love with Femininity from the Sweetly Smoky set, I might order a second one just for that color and Maribu, then give the other 2 away.
