I would try Mink & Sable... from all the talk in the threads, the texture is better. Plus, from what I can see in swatches I think Mink & Sable looks nicer.

I think i figured it out:
*Smoke and Diamonds
*Top Hat
*Talent Pool
*Sunset B
........for now. Just cuz I think the rest will be there for a little while. Then I'll get my second run which will be:
*Mink and Sable
*Bold and Brazen
*Dreammaker
Whew. It feels good to make a decision already.

Don't know, just telling it like I see it. He was quite reluctant to take them but he did anyway. Some customers trying to scam in some items for b2m (e.g. depotted pans) have made it more difficult for the rest of us, unfortunately.
Quote:
Only the pro pans are accepted, which is fine since it is a full-sized product and falls in line with the rest of the b2m policy. And I'm betting MA's would bring in their used pans (or maybe I hope too much?) so I wouldn't want that taken away from them, seeing as MAC was in part created for MA's anyway.

It was Yorkdale's f/s store, not at The Bay. At least, that's where I've seen him the most. I've noticed a shuffle amongst counters and stores over the last few months.
I thought about Sunset B. but someone compared it to Livin' Pink which I have, so I'll skip out for now. I really do hope MAC makes at least some of these perm b/c I'd love to replace some shadows I have with the new formula - like Fertile! It's okay, just not wonderful like Top Hat sounds to be. And Smoke and Diamonds does look really pretty, but must show some restraint! - well, forced to, really. =P

Which store has the "Asian fellow, pretty cool and easy going but not a fan of depots?" |

Wow, thanks. Now that I know they are approved for waterline, I'm really interested in getting them. The colours are so lovely.
I need some advise: do they smudge any bit? I bought the Dual Edge Eye Pencil from Heatherette in Nighthawk/Front Row and Black Funk/Pop Blue. Nighthawk and Black Funk smudge like crazy on me. Are they meant to be that way while the Kohl Power Eye Pencils here are meant to stay put?

Ok, so now I'm confused. For those who live in Toronto, does the Pro Store on Queen St accepts depots for this collection or not? I'm going to be in TO this weekend and want to trade my depots for some of the StarFlash e/s's. I also need to pick up some Pro pigments so I have to go to the Pro Store.

So when is this supposed to launch online? Me thought they put it on Mondays (like Cool Heat)?
Anyways, I think I am going to get:
-Sunset B
-Lotusland
-Smoke and Diamonds
-Top Hat
-Grand Entrance
-Bold & Brazen
Also for the longest time I was set on getting two Raven and Feline, but do they smudge or not? I don't use e/l very often but yesterday I used a softsparkle one and it ended up in my crease! So if these smudge, I don't think I am going to get them.

Some people say they smudge, some people say they dont. They smudged like crazy on me. Feline smudged more than Mystery, but I dont ever wear these because they smudge like crazy. Even when I put it over UDPP, and set it with a powder, it still was smudgy (just not quite as much) The Heatherette pencils smudged like crazy on me too
Quote:
They smudged on me. Definetly. But everyone likes them different, some people say they didnt smudge at all, but these pencils (on me) are like the 99 cent ones you get at the drugstore....because those drugstore pencils always smudged like crazy on me too.

Awesome, I think I will skip these liners- as much as everyone raves about them, I already have a drawer full of MAC e/l that I never use, so it's pointless to spend another $14 each when I can get e/s instead! hehe. Argghh I can't wait for these to get online! I'm dying here!

Yeah, those pencils kinda just disappear after awhile on me & I don't have problems with oily lids. They should all be waterproof! I don't use any pencils any more unless they are waterproof as they are the only kind that actually stay put.
I just bought Too Faced Foil Liners (as recommended by specktra's own lovely Lara) in Bronze Bombshell & Black Beauty...those suckers do not move & I wore them in extreme heat all day. The only down side, you're not supposed to use them in the waterline
