lol... i always do that too... I'll TRY and limit my time here so I won't get so excited about the collections... but it just doesn't work that way!!

I'm so confused as to what I want from this collection. I keep adding and dropping. So far I'm up more than I originally wanted

But I definitely know I will be getting all the liners... I don't own any of the colors, I always passed on them on previous collections and now I want!

Just stopped by Nordies to see if the rumors were true and sure enough they had these out. I picked up: Dreammaker, Grand Entrance, Bold & Brazen, Smoke & Diamonds, Glamour Check, and Top Hat as well as the Mystery liner and the Pink Air/ White Top Lustre Twin lippie. There was one shadow that was missing and for the life of me I couldnt think which one and sure enough it turned out to be Go which I really wanted. Do you think its worth going back for? Is there a dupe for Go?

 

[meaghanb2926]

Also, on the whole B2m thing... The MA told me today that they dont even recycle the containers (only freestanding stores recycle). She said Nordies just throws them in the garbage! What the heck is the point of a recycling program if they just throw the damn things away!?!

Aw that just sucks, they should at least recycle them. The shadows and such that get returned I would think should be recycled too.

I'm still really torn on which colors to get. The only ones I know for sure are Mink & Sable and Smoke & Diamonds. I want at least one more but I can't decide and can't afford much more than that.

I think it will probably be Lotusland. It looks really pretty, Sunset B too. Ugh they ALL look amazing who am I kidding?

My trick is to limit my time to the collection discussion that I am adamant about not buying. So I have been checking out all the other discussions like cult of Cherry, because I know that will be mine.

I am sticking to my dupe list but I happy everyone else is getting this stuff, and maybe by Christmas this stuff will be at a CCO.

I think there will be a million dupes for Go, and it is one of the few shades I didn't buy from the collection, but after playing with my other colors & hearing that Go also has an amazing texture, I decided to pick it up when its available online...I'm sure there will be a free shipping code

awww .. i've only returned one thing it was a foundation and the MA said we'll just use this as a sample



three more days till these babies hit the store

 

[reesesilverstar]

Youtube is flooded with discussion on Starflash. There's swatches and possible dupes listed to. Just type in a search for it, and you'll get lotsa hits.

I feel sorry for MAC. Nordies did them so wrong, but it's kinda funny. 2 giants battling... Or maybe not... lol

Glad to see you back and I totally understand about limiting your time here as not to be tempted. I figure that if I am not tempted here on Specktra I know that once I get to the MAC store/counter I am screwed!!

Have a good time with your niece.

So I think that my final list for this collection is:

Sunset B
Talent Pool
Grand Entrance
Smoke & Diamonds

I really hope I can stick to that!!

 

[BeautyPsycho]

Oh man, I want these e.s so bad.. Are they going to come out on Macy's counters before 31st as well?

Well, maybe Smoke & Diamonds But I'm trying to pass on it for the most part so I can maybe get one or two things from CoC without feeling guilty about spending money I should be saving. lol

Right there with you sweetcheeks. I'm skipping this one so I won't feel guilty about CoC and Ungaro!!! However, if I could, I'd be hot on this.....

 

[purrtykitty]

^^And see, I don't feel bad about going hog wild here because I'm for the most part passing on Coc and Manish Arora!

 

[rbella]

You should NEVER feel bad about going hog wild with make up!!!

 

[purrtykitty]

I never do!!

Although now I'm lemming Lightly Ripe l/s - oh well, at least I can B2M for the l/s and mattene!

 

[AppleDiva]

I have the StarFlash swatch thread bookmarked, so I can go back and look at the shades I want.

I definitely will get Sunset B (maybe 2), Smoke and Diamonds. Maybe Talent Pool and Grand Entrance.

that is sooo wrong if they use them as testers. you don't know what people have done to things they return, and then they go and use them as testers on peoples faces!?!? they are supposed to damaged out and sent back. the only returns we tester out are brushes.

that's not right! the whole point of the program is to show that mac cares about the environment and recycles. if i were you, i'd write to mac let them know what you were told.
