Aww I'm jealous you guys! I don't have a debit card at the moment so I can't buy ANYTHING. I only want 2 e/s and 2 k/p also. Is that too much to ask?
I want to kill that ass who stole my cc info!
Anyways, everyone enjoy their goodies. I can't wait to feel the texture of these babies!

The Mac counters I buy from in the Uk are in-store concessions (there are no free-standing stores anywhere near me).
I asked about this at the counter one I go to most (Fenwicks, Newcastle upon Tyne), and was told that the empties are recycled. There is a man comes in from Mac once a month or so to collect them all, apparently he collects from all the counters. They just drop them into a big box at the counter when they are traded in, and he comes and empties it (so it looks like they are thrown away, unless you ask).
Would have thought a big store like Nordstrom would get enough for this, if it worth doing here in the UK!

OMG don't do that, I LOVE the Color Forms powders, they are so much nicer than some of my other MAC blushes/highlighters, on me anyway.

I don't know if this has been asked yet, but how does Top Hat compare to Climate Blue from Cool Heat collection?

So, this is totally random, but I remember someone commenting on the condition of the model's skin in the promo pic for this collection. It was kind of bumpy and not what we're generally used to from models. Well, I got the email today and her skin is DEF touched up! It looks a lot better, I'm guessing the original pic was prob before they did the final work. haha. Sad that I notice these things, right??

erine did just a few posts up.
definately purple. a much better version (texture-wise) as fertile. its a dark, blue based blackened purple-much different than parfait amour. the two don't compare.

Us Jersey girls have it good, i guess. Except for when I ordered Sonic Chic it took FIVE DAYS!!
I love ordering stuff online on tuesdays when MAC releases the collections. Because I get on specktra, and my comp faces the window. So I open the drapes and keep my ear out for the big brown truck....
and once I see them drive away...
I RUN DOWN THE STEPS, OPEN THE DOOR, GRAB MY BOX, RUN BACK UPSTAIRS, TEAR OPEN THE BOX, LOOK AT EVERYTHING, SWATCH EVERYTHING, THEN POST HOW I LIKE IT ON SPECKTRA!!
I'm UNSTOPPABLE!!!
Then I get sad because its never enough

Okay so I got my stuff. Heres my small review:
*Top Hat-I don't think this is charcoally...its purple. Not blackened purple. But purple. I like it
*Talent Pool-Wow...this is a really freaking pretty teal. The sheen (I think its a golden sheen, perhaps?
) So its kind of metallic looking..ish Gorgeous...I'm glad I decided to get it, even though I dont wear blues too much
*Smoke and Diamonds-I cant really begin to describe this, because I dont want anyone to get the wrong idea. Its brownish, grayish and metallic-ish to me. I love it! I cant wait to smoooooke my eyes out with it lol
And last but not least...
*Sunset B-I saved this for last, because this was the one I was drawn to, although I am not sure how it will look on my eyes. Its such a pretty pink. I think most of us got this because of how unique it is, and personally I have been searching for a PINK eyeshadow. Lets just say....this will not disappoint
The finish on these shadows are sooooooo creamy. Its great! Unbelievably creamy. I cant wait to depot these bad boys, and buy more!
Gooooooooooooooo STARFLASH lol

A bit late, but I am NW20 and I plan on getting Top Hat (love purples) and Lotusland if the colour is the lavender I am looking for. And Smoke & Diamonds for sure.
Dream Maker and Talent Pool if I like them, but after what CantAffordMAC said TTP was bumped up on the list
I hoped Bold & Brazen was a nice coppery colour, but someone said it is a lot like Expensive Pink.
