This is how I usually feel when the realease dates are normal and we get the collection a month or so later than US

And, btw, photo's do not do the sparkle in Flurry of Fun justice. In fact indoor lighting might not. I didn't realize how sparkly it was before I had left the store.

I wore it today just by it self, but I am planning to try it over Fresh Salmon l/s.

(also wishful thinking right there! lol) At the pro store one of the MAs told me that this collection was coming out on 20th which makes sense to me because they usually have collections a week early. I wonder the MA you talked to meant the release date at the pro store or at the regular freestanding stores/counters? Then I actually went to Macy's to get 130 brush the pro store didn't have and asked about the release date; I got the same answer, 20th. I wonder if Macy's gets the collection early but the MAs at Times Square and the freestanding one near the pro store told me it was 27th I guess I will double check. By the way, Macy's on 34th st still had some Plink! if you are looking for one (or two or more!)

I really, really hope it won't be released before the 27th.
I'll land in NY on the 25th, and do not want it all to be gone by then

So true! This one has to be seen personally, I was amazed by the cool sparklyness, camera just cannot capture it.

I don't care for Humid because it's too "green" for me. I wish it was more blackened than it is.

I don't have Marine Life but I have and love Deep Throat. I think everybody at least girls with fair to light/Light Med skintone need this blush. The staying power is awesome and it's not very shimmery. Marine Life looks more shimmery and coral in the swatches. Deep Throat is a pinky peach on me though. If you want a coral Nars blush Gilda is a better option than Deep Throat.

I don't like the colour payoff of Deep Thruth, but Humid has amazing payoff. One of my fave MAC shades ever

Seriously.

In the meantime I've been trying to fill the hauling hole with other purchases and it just seems to make me want to buy this stuff MORE. I don't know what's going on, but I'm never moving out of the US...I can't handle long release times like this one for every collection!!

I admire you international MAC addicts!! I could never be as patient as you are all the time...how do you do it?!?

It's so glittery! i really disliked it. The new NARS multiple bronzers are so much better!

That's so cute! I usually match my eyeshadow to the sports team I'm going to as well.

Humid is an awesome color.

Thanks so much! Yeah I've read many people complaning about the glitter, so I think I'll skip it after all..

 

[dxgirly]

All three lipglasses and Lazy Day lipstick are back on my list along with all the eyeshadows except Humid (already have it), the Marine Life Highlight Powder, and the 131 Brush. Good thing I just started a new job and my first paycheck is coming in on the 27th!

Elegant said that about Hipness in this thread, page 89:

Now maybe its different with different batches - but the one I swatched is def. different. And, I was one of the first to swatch from the container.
