Nordstrom won't ship the items I want to Canada. So I'm sitting around checking Mac's site every 5 minutes.

I only purchased 2 of the Close Contact lipsticks... I almost bought the Morning Rose lipstick but I read on a blog that it has a slight shimmer?!? and I do NOT do shimmery lipsticks.

I purchased the At Dusk extra dimension blush from the 1st collection -- at a CCO yesterday.. It was $17.75 .. Sometimes there are slight differences between collections, but I decided it looked pretty enough for me in the CCO so I snatched it up..

I used MRREBATES for my order instead of ebates because mrrebates is offering 6% while ebates is only offering 5%.. (I just started using mrrebates so I am not sure if it is better than ebates -- that has yet to be determined, but they do seem to offer higher returns in a lot of stores... versus ebates)..

Thanks everyone..

Exactly! I want to make the right decision, I'm trying to be wise about buying makeup and be on a low-buy. What's on you list?

Me too. I know I want the Close Contact lipstick for sure - so I went ahead and ordered it.. I ordered two..but otherwise, I want to check the rest out in the flesh..

I already have Superb and it is BEAUTIFUL.. then I was going to buy At Dusk when it launched, but found the previous edition at a CCO.. everything else - I am unsure about, so I will hike it up to Mac and swatch them before I decide what else to buy..

I feel like Mr Rebates takes too long to post transactions and send money. That might just be me, though.

You see that's what I noticed: most of the EDBs/EDSFs end up at CCOs so I was wondering if I should just sit and wait for the CCO to get the items? It's a big gamble I know lol.

I am done with MAC until the spring. I really went out with a bang-all 5 glosses, 3 lipsticks, and Superb. Now to firmly park my behind in the low-buy thread and put my spreadsheet together so I can be scared straight all 2014.

Same here. I just looked at Karen's blog and she made it all good. Like, I need it all. Then I have to remember that I don't use fluid lines much so, eh, got to focus on what I really use.

Yup, I previously purchased Bareness extra dimension blush at the CCO.. and I see SO MANY of the eyeshadows - I can't keep track (I rarely buy new shadows from Mac - I have so many from UD, Cargo and Smashbox)..

It is definitely a gamble to try to score at a CCO but if it's not something that you HAVE to have, then I would skip..

FWIW, I rarely see the ED SFs at the CCO.. I hit my CCO every 2 months (or sooner) like clockwork.. and it seems they're a little harder to come by versus the shadows and blushes and lipsticks.

I bought Superb during the first launch and I do think it is very beautiful..

At Dusk is light even on me and I am light-skinned (I used to say NC25, but in the mineralize foundation I am dead on NW20)..If you're any darker than that, then I am not sure it would show up.

That's about all I can contribute.. LOL.

PRONEXT free ship code good till 3pm eastern time. Why do I think this won't go up till that's over? It was be a festivus miracle if it went up earlier, but I'm not counting on it.

The EDSF and Blushes went very quickly. The eyeshadows took a little longer.
