Hmm.. I'll wait until Friday. Gives me something to look forward to. =)

My list stands at:
Gem of roses l/s
Lush amber l/s
Geo pink c/g
Natural flare c/g
Pearl msf
Rose quartz msf
Goldstone msf
Golden Glaze mes

what have u bought thus far other than gem of roses? gem of roses looks great on u so maybe u shld back it up. =)

i know i need to reduce my list but i dont think ill be able to reduce it any further. haha. i ordered mine from a spree so that it will be slightly cheaper. but i want to look at the mes in person and buy it depending on swatches..

That is going to cost you quite a bit! ;)

Hmm. What spree? I didn't know they do sprees for MAC collections. And you do have the willpower to wait till Friday! My friend and I have bought ours already. Haha.

I also hauled Blue Sheen MES, Unsurpassable MES, Goldstone MSF, Pressed Amber MB, #234. Plus Gem of Roses l/s, so that's 6 items in total to conclude haul #1.

Are you really not considering the MBs? I think they are the best part of this collection.

the problem with sprees is that you will have to wait for some time before you get the items. hahaha. i only take sprees when im buying a number of items so i save a bit more. im nt sure abt the MBs.. Do you notice much difference between Goldstone and Pressed Amber? I took PA off as I wanted Goldstone more. And Feeling Flush seems dupable. I have Giggly MB and Amazon Princess so I dont know if I should get Feeling Flush. How much is each MB here? 50?

K, Im PM-ing you now about the place. Haha.

Other than the fact that Goldstone is glittery and Pressed Amber is matte?

Yes, there is a difference in color. PA is cooler toned, it's more of a beige-brown and it has a rosy appearance to it (perhaps due to its undertone). Goldstone has a very distinct yellow undertone, and it probably has more bronze-peach in it. Very, very different. Sorry the description is so bad, I'm trying my best to recall from my failing memory.

I just saw her comparisons!!! I'm glad Warmth of Coral is so similar to Peaches, which I already have. Her swatches are making me want Band of Roses very badly though. Lol. I think I'll go back for Feeling Flush! :D

I am so so so glad for this. I have fold and tuck on my WL, and I'm glad to see that I still prefer fold & tuck over ge pink, so now I can take that off. Really want lush amber lippie and the Pearl MSF, though. I agree with Dreamer on peaches, though, since I already have that coming in the mail. And I think Rose Quarts wouldn't show too well on my NC42 skin :c which is a shame, it's such a pretty pink.

^ thanks i just saw it. Well i guess that crosses pressed Amber off my list which is good. Im down to just lush amber and natural flare even though they migt be too sheer for my lips.

This is a pic of me wearing Gem of Roses l/s! As I had said before, it's a very natural looking and flattering pink color. Sorry for the ugly picture, I'm in office now and I was trying to find the best lighting to capture the color as best as I can with my crappy blackberry camera. Lol.

P.S. my lip looks glossy because I put l/s over MAC's lip conditioner (the one in the tube).

Gem of Roses looks beautiful on you! I love your hair cut, too! Thank you for sharing!

I want everything!!

I'm for sure getting the MSFs and blushes. I'm not sure about the MESs yet... I already have tons of eye shadow, so it's not like I *need* any of the MESs... However, they look SO pretty with all their colors swirled, and I'm a big mineralized fan, so they will probably end up in my order... LOL

I don't remember them being similar. Maybe it's because of the veining in my particular pot of PA, but The Soft Meow is much darker than my PA.

Out of curiosity, has anyone compared Musky Amethyst to Cunning from Fabulous Felines? It looked to me like they'd be similar, but I haven't actually seen any swatches to confirm if they look alike.

right well after many poor reviews i shall skip the glittery pink mes. i don't wear pink that often anyway and if it is fall out crazy then i don't need it.

^^ I'm skipping it as well. It's crazy b/c before we got swatches, that was the item from the collection I was most interested in! lol

i know! thank goodness for swatches and such! i was hoping it would be a beautiful metallic pink... but if there are glitter chunks and it is uneven then it is noth worth it :)
