Omgahhhh!!!

My bf just did the sweetest thing! He bought me the shadows I wanted online b/c he knew I was so broke after visiting the doc so much this past month. I usually don't buy shadows online b/c I like to see them first. And I don't want to tell him that. lol So I will stay hush hush.

But he just made my day, I love him so muchhhh!!!

Oh and he bought me:

Top Hat
Talent Pool
Go
Smoke & Diamonds

Can't wait to get them.

O and that is so not going to stop me from going to the counter tomorrow and seeing ALL of them in person and playing around with it.

Mmmmkay. So tomorrow is launch day and for the first time in forever, I won't be going to the counter the first day a new collection comes out. It is going to kill me, but I have to be patient. My sister in law and niece are coming to visit this weekend, and I promised my niece I would take her with me. She is an up and coming MAC addict

I have my stuff on hold, and now, after reading all of these awesome reviews, I am SO tempted by Sunset B (thanks alot Rebecca!

) Tell me, why is this pink so special? If every other pink I have tried makes me look like I have an eye infection, will this one too?

I agree, Smoke & Diamonds is unique

Also I also thought the texture of "DreamMaker" was not as good as The "Glamour Check!" I got

When the MA swatched Grand Entrance for me, it was ultra frosty... nice but not for me

She also used a 242 brush ... I guess that demonstrated the colour payoff best

Speaking of looking like you have an eye infection...what is Raven k/p like on? I feel like that is a color that will make me look red-rimmed like I've been smoking something. Or does it not really show up red on? Like I have Mystery & it does not look anything but black on me.

And GlamYOURUs that sounds like an awesome guy you've got there!

Are you finally all better?

 

[purplerinne]

I picked up a couple of em today and the rest online...does anyone think Grand Entrance looks like All that Glitters and Go looks like Patina??? hmmm other than that I'm happy with the ones I got (which is pretty much all of em)

I had Raven and sold it just cause it was smudge city on me. IMO, it's not really red on. It does have red pearl, but on the eye, it looks more like a red purple. Almost the same look I got by lining with Beautymarked eyeshadow. Definately not a violet purple, but a reddened one. I had them all and sold all but Jealous. I think Raven is the only one I regret selling - though not enough to rebuy. I'd be all over it if it didn't smear like crazy on me

I don't have Patina, but Go is exactly like tempting, but I still love it cause of the texture.

Thank you!
Hmmmm, I have good luck with the k/p's not smudging on me. So maybe I will wind up getting one. Decisions decisions, lol

You'll love it, its gorgeous!

Ok so all this excitement about the Khol pencils got me thinking about them. I have never even gave any MAC pencil the time of day as I pretty much use only Fluidlines. Are these babies really that great?
I'm having a hard time swallowing the thought of spending $17 on an eye pencil but shit... I am seeing some of you buying three Felines so they must be good?

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

Now, I am more excited. I have not been excited about a MAC collection in a long time... Can't wait to see my man in brown tomorrow... I am sure my DH would mind at all...well maybe.

To be honest....I've never really worn a true pink eyeshadow....and I'ma bit worried about looking sick too (my skin is yellowish/olive, and pink eyeshadow...ehh) But i bought it anyways. I'm not sure if this would make you look sick...

I'm sorry I cant be of much help there. But it sure is purty!

BTW....I picked up that Flirt skunk brush I heard you talking about! Its soooooo soft...I cant wait to use it tomorrow..it was only $7 and it seems very close to the 188 Yaaaaaaaaaay thanks girl!

I regret selling mine!

O and I have a whole palette of pinks, mauveys (wait, is that even a word?) and purples. That is why I didn't even think about picking up Sunset B. I am sure it is pretty though but eh, I can do w/o it.

 

[FantaZ]

ooooooooh I can't wait til tomorrow.

3 collections in one month! I just murdered my wallet.

Has anyone compared Submarine with Star by Night? I'm just a sucker for blues, pinks, purples, and browns.

Take a look in the swatch thread, post # 26. Star By Night is compared to Freshwater there which is very similar to Submarine!
