^^Yeah, that's the hard part. I had to go back for Electro Flash. I know for me, I'm getting everything I want at once!

I'm sorry, and I'm not trying to attack you. But that is so silly. Why would I buy an eyeshadow and not intend on using it? personally, I hardly use eyeshadows, but I have a few good reasons for that. I think it would be silly to wait until I was done with an entire shadow to B2M it. If thats truly their policy, fine. But the B2M program is so inconsistent and it differs from store to store. I hope my MA stays cool about the whole thing and lets me B2M my depots. (Again I wasnt trying to attack you, I was talking about what the MA said)

LoL you say that now! you crack me up

Okay guys so I woke up at 11:02!!! I was gonna pour some coffee and then I remembered Starflash and RAN up the stairs. I think I placed my order in under a minute (lol) But the reason I'm upset is because MAC took like 5 days to get my stuff to me last time, and I promised myself I'd try to order first thing in the morning, to get my stuff sooner.

Anywho, I got:
*Smoke and Diamonds
*Top Hat
*Sunset B
*Talent Pool
*Nuance blush

Ooooookay. Which didnt hurt my pockets TOO bad. I might have enough depots for the other few shadows I want (Dreammaker, Mink and sable, Bold and Brazen) And then I just want Merrily blush and that will be IT...until CoC.

I realize the lustretwins are out (lol...Lustretwins sounds like the neighborhood twins that are up to no good

) But I'm gonna wait til CoC to pick one up....I KNOW they wont sell out of these.

 

[lethaldesign]

Yeah, I couldn't hold out until Thursday like I planned

I just placed my order online... I'm scared if I go into the store I'll end up buying ALL of the shadows (instead of just the 5 I'm *sure* I want) because they are my weakness.

I ended up with: Smoke & Diamonds, Lotusland, Sunset B, Top Hat and Dreammaker. It was hard to decide, but I have to be GOOD!

 

[AmyAngel]

This is the first collection I've been around for, and since shadows are what I need right now I'm trying to narrow things down!

So far I'm looking at getting
Raven & Mystery (I also need liners, and those look beautiful)
Talent Pool (pretty!)
Smoke & Diamonds
MAYBE Bold & Brazen or Top Hat (though I really shouldn't spend that much!)

The comparisons to the Urban Decay shadows really helped me narrow it down as I have the Ammo palette and a couple individual shadows - it looks on my screen like Glamour Check might be similar to Urban Decay's Gash shadow. Has anyone compared the two?

Also, I'm finding that my UD 24/7 liner in Zero is smudging on me a bit on the lower lashline - should I worry about these as well? I do have a liner sealer, I'm planning to try that out tomorrow and see how the 24/7 pencil holds up with that over it.

 

[MACForME]

Well, i checked this AM to see (I'm in NJ) and it wasn't up on MAC Pro at 8ish.. so, got to work and had a look.. oh boy...I got:
-Top Hat
-LotusLand
-Smoke & Diamonds
-and another shadow, I forgot what it is!!
-Pink Air Lustre Twin

I was really excited about this, then, after really seeing the swatches, i decided I had enough BLUE! I have so many, so that nixed these..

Agreed! I think this is the ONE and only out of the bunch that is a suitable shade for all skin tones..

 

[CantAffordMAC]

LOL, I'm surprised you haven't bought it yet, I do recall you mentioning something once that you'd even buy something called poopy pink cause it had pink in the name, lol

But, really that color was the first one I was drawn to, but when I thought about it I was afraid it would be too light & not show up, so I went with custom rose/pink virtue instead (hey there is pink in that name too! lol)

EDIT...OMG, I almost forgot on ebay I bought boss brown/slave to pink. "slave to pink" sounds perfect for you!!!

 

[ellienellie]

Can I sue MAC for making me bankrupt and addicted?????

What kind of question is that. If its a pink lipstick/lipgloss you know you want it. Besides, don't wanna dissapoint the hubby who will ask if you got another pink lippie

I will probably get the pink too as I am loving my custom rose

Ahem, back to topic. Wondering if I should get backups of some of the colors. Probably not?

 

[meaghanb2926]

I just put up my FOTD for those who may want to see the colors actually on a face instead of a hand

Just used a few of my fun new items... Grand Entrance, Smoke & Diamonds, and Top Hat as well as the Mystery Eye Kohl and Pink Air Lustre Twin...

[winterwonder]

Does anyone think Lotusland has a chance of selling out fast? I think I'm going to order Smoke & Diamonds, Mink & Sable, Top Hat, and Sunset B but I'm lusting over Lotusland as well. I can B2M for it though next week if I want. I'll probably wait and if they don't have it oh well, I have lots of light purples, it doesn't look all that unique.

(I'm also considering the Pink Air Lustre but ughhhh I hate buying a lip product and falling in love with it just to have it be LE, especially a longwear 'cause if I'm going to wear something on my lips it's going to be those... Blah. I think I should just save my $20 so I DON'T fall in love with it. Can't miss what you don't have right?!? lol)

Okay forget that. I'm weak. I ended up ordering all 5. I figure I can B2M for one of the other ones I'm wanting but won't miss if I don't get. =X I did say no to the Pink Air though! ...for now.

haha your so funny .. they are up to no good i told myself im not going get any and that was final then i go to the mac website and see them and now i want two

those damn lustre twins

 

[blindpassion]

As shocking as this is about to sound.............

I dont think I'm buying ANY of these.
If my counter lets me B2M my depots, then I will get maybe one or two.
But I dont think I will purchase any, I have I think over 80 eyeshadows as of right now, I dont need anymore haha

My mom is excited for lustretwins, she loves the pro long-wear type of lippies.

Instead of Starflash, I'm going to buy another 239 and 109 brush (my two favs)!
