Yes, you got all 3!

I remember when the first ones came out, they were chunkier. At that time, I only bought Glamour Check. These were so incredibly smooth to apply with perfect shimmer.

Sorry

Actually the MA said they were a new texture too

You make me laugh so much

My "my car broke down and I need pretties to make me feel better," haul. I can't wait for it to come

Thanks for the tip, since I ordered Unbasic White today!
I am soooo slack on my MAC "intelligence;" I knew about Love that Look," but didn't know it had been released already.
Nor did I know that there would be NEW Starflash shades; I thought they'd all be repromotes from Starflash, so my reaction was, "Yawn; I scored Smoke & Diamonds last time, so I can skip this collection ..."
I went to the MAC site today, spotted Unbasic White, thought, "Hmm; might be my dream neutral shimmery off-white," got sucked in by the free shipping, and ordered it!
That may be all I get, though.
Maybe.

Hmm, do I need Style Snob? I don't really want anything with pink undertones (cause my eye will look infected) but from the swatches it seems like a nice brown...

 

[GlamQueen21]

I'll take Pamela's advice to not wear Ubasic White as a highlight and wear it as a tear duct highlight. I can't wait to order more eyeshadows and pearlglides Thursday!

I'm an NW20/25 (Irish descent) and it definitely has pink undertones on me...so you may want to skip, or hear from someone with similar coloring to yours? JMO.

Well I'm about NC35 right now and I put Perky pp underneath b/c I wanted to see more of a pink undertone, but still all I saw was the taupey color. I really like it as a wash all over my lid, but you may try to swatch it cause who knows how it will react on your skin

 

[FemmeFatale]

OMG! Is Jaz a baby boxer?? I love boxers. I am a dog freak though. Not normal.

I checked out the Love your look shadows today, such a gorgeous texture. I am looking forward to picking these up. They were already sold out of Smoke and Diamonds and Nordies on Long Island.

 

[Babylard]

OOOH PRETTY!!!

i ended up with one off, unbasic white, fashion and glamour check! and i loveee themmmm. im gonna go back for rated R. and maybe more! i want to make a column of yellow consisting of crest the wave (u will be mine!!), chrome yellow, and rated R. muahahahahhaha

i already own smoke and diamonds but if anyone doesnt have it you better get one.

run, dont walk.

today i have on unbasic white on the inside teardust, chrome yellow in the inner mid, one off on the outer and deepened the crease with pandamonium and the dark green from metal-x and its gorgeous!!!!

i love unbasic white!! you could also layer it on top of gesso or crystal avalanche to make it whiter but with the shiny goodness of starflash.

u who do not have sunset b and lotusland and the ones from last year are missing out PUAHAHAHA god have pity on your souls!

starflash i love youuuuuuuu.... <3

 

[FemmeFatale]

Grand Entrance

One Off

[shadowaddict]

I never wear blues unless its a grey or smokey blue. But I LOVE Fashion. I wear it over Cream Color Base - Root, but just over the inner 3/4 of the lid.

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ Aaaahhhh, Root...my first ever MAC product many moons ago!

if you have lotusland from last year's starflash, you dont need fashion groupie. lotusland is wayyy prettier!

i passed on strike a pose. don't think i'd really use it. i also got the blue one from last year. be strong girl!

i think your list is pretty good nonetheless. one off, smoke and diamonds, grand entrance and unbasic white are must haves for me.

you could get aaway with getting either rave or fly by blue if you really had to. personally, i love my rave and black russian adn bank roll!

I hear that Unbasic White is a dead ringer for permanent pro shade, just a thought.

If you have Satellite Dreams I swear you do not need Fashion Groupie...I promise.... I however do Like fashion too..It is a blue grey...I love SAP too...so no help from me there

UBW is close to White Frost...But the texture makes it more wearable and gorgeous...Which most whites are not

I want my package. I am a little down b/c it is not here. But on a bright note, if that is the only thing saddening me a little, my world is good, No?

I actually worked out today to keep off of specktra. It was nice and I must keep doing it, the saran wrap and fat-reducing cream weren't working, so I must do this the hard way
