Thanks! Fingers crossed that it wouldn't be later than May.
I never buy backups. The only item I thought of getting a backup was LL from Heatherette, but I'm glad I didn't as my tube is now still slightly more than half.

If you can tell that you truly love a MSf by simply trying it on before you buy it...You have mastered a skill that I doubt many longterm MA's have ...I can't even imagine that ...you ask 2,000 questions on a gloss but you have these skills on a MSF that you try on in store lighting ...wow Winnie I am impressed.

Yep, that is exactly what I did. The first couple of times I used it after that, it was messy, but I think I have used enough product now, so I don't get quite as much buildup at the top of the wand.
I know I am in the minority, but I do like the 3 of these I bought (Just Dessert, Tasty and Simply Delicious). I did not remove the rubber rim, wiper thing from Tasty though.
I wish I could join the love-fest for the MSFs, but they just don't show up very well on me.

I passed on the 188 brush b/c I heard too many people complain about ti flaying out over time. I just use the 187 brush for general application and then when I need direct app I use the 165 is it that came out with BBR? The teardrop face brush. I think it is 165.....
That is fabulous for that spot of highlight in small places if I want some.
I am SO glad you enjoyed the reviews. I like to write them in depth for people who might not be able to get to a MAC counter or who need fresh input on stuff.
I find that metal rock is a great contour too and everyone hated that- the key is to learn how to make it work. As a NW25 Metal Rock looked scary in the pan, but very lightly applied for contour- OMG it is amazing.

I am a Metal Rock freak- and I have NW25 skin. It is fantastic as a contour and I use it constantly for that purpose. If I ran out, I would be lost! HAHA
Have FUN with it- it is one of my all time fav MSFs

Well, you don't necessary have to limit yourself to store lighting. You can try it on at the counter, leave it on for a few hours if you wish, or at least walk around to check out how it looks like in different lighting and natural daylight etc. Or maybe even ask a trusted MA for opinions.
What I'm saying is, I'm sure there are alternatives to buying all the MSFs just to try them out 100% to find out if they're meant for you. While that may be the ideal way to fully test out a product, I'm very sure not all of us can afford to do that; MSFs don't come cheap.
And I think once you start buying all the MSFs ever released (to try them out or for whatever purpose), you'll probably not want to sell them off (especially if you get into the collector mode) because you'll want them all (plus they're so pretty to look at too
).

I thought perfect topping looked ashen on my skin so I didn't buy it. I went home after having the MA put it on me as a highlighter and got in different light and it was EXACTLY what I wanted. Love it! It's great as a shadow highlighter as well! Try them in different light if at all possible. I'm an hour from the nearest MAC and usually order sight unseen. (NC45)

I have this combo on today, so pretty! I'm seriously considering a back-up of Sugarshot (and Love Rock!), and I'm not big on back-ups!

Doesn't count as a purchase, but it is technically a back-up!

I already have Perfect Topping, Saint Germain, Lollipop Loving (I bought a backup, lol), Sweet Thing and Peppermint Patti. Is anyone in love with the shadesticks? And if so, which ones?
