Firespot is Firecracker?? It didn't seem so in the swatches

I think I will! The colors I've seen are gorgeous.


Anyone know if you can make the cream bronzer work with just using your hands? I don't have a suitable brush for it

.

 

[chickatthegym]

^Do you have any dual fiber brushes? That is what the MA said works best with the cream bronzers. Any of them...
I suppose you could use your hand? Even when the MA used the 130 to apply the cream bronzer on my sis, it still looked "muddy" and streaky so I didn't even want to try myself haha.

I use to love Supermarket Sweep! And the show that came on right after it called "Shop til You Drop" Yikes I'm feeling old and I'm only 20! nahahaha

Icecarmellatte Girl don't go to MAC in MACYS try the Bloomingdales counter or the FSS in Brooklyn!


ETA: I'm confused as to why so many people on here and LJ are buying 3 and 4 of ML when they know they're gonna most likely sell it at inflated prices when they sell out. Give other people a chance to buy it, geez

I just took some of it on my fingers and sort of rubbed it on. So it can be done. But it's not ideal I think. I got the 130 a few days later and I feel the brush gives me a lot more control when applying the cream bronzer.

no, unless you have no other blushes and plan on wearing it every single day

I don't surprisingly. I never did find Firespot and I don't own any other coraly-orange eyeshadows. I put it on hold at Mac Pro and I'm going to B2M it - and take back my Marine Life as well for a refund.

[The remaining 4 were CP's (not inflated prices I might add). I purchased because of the CP program thats trying to get off the ground here on Specktra.]

Though MsWestchesterNY is right - I should leave them for other people who want them that badly. No one' emailed me anyways as its still pre-launch.

Thanks, MsWestchesterNY, but I know all about 34th. I hate that counter too. When the Too Fabulous collection was out, I wanted to pick up a blush and my store was out so the SA called Macy's since they were open late. She was on hold forever. I told her to forget it because I hate that counter anyway.

But they are in a convenient location and the store has long hours so in a pinch I will go there but really I just wanted to go somewhere where I knew they had the new collection. I could try my store but I don't think they will sell anything after the party until the launch date.

Also, I know the whole back up thing is a slippery slope. At least for me.

Finally got my writeup done on the Preview party I attended last Tuesday... it's on my blog

Going to do some swatch comparisons from this collection right now. Let me know if you guys have any requests

Do you have by any chance Stereo Rose so you can compare to Marine Life?

I totally agree! Especially if you know how if feels to miss out something because the item is sold out. Even for back-ups, i think most people will never use their back-up unless it's their signature makeup and use it daily

But still, MAC is half responsible for this by supplying one store less than 10 items! I bet other items (except ML) have more supply. Has anybody ever asked how many supply the store has for blush/eyeshadow/lipstick from this collection?

hehe My boyfriend hates make-up shopping with me because I take so long. He always tries to steer me away from MAC when we pass it. Sometimes he helps me decide though when he swatches stuff with me and says "this texture sucks" or "this is too sheer" haha. Most of the time he says that these are the same colors I have just with different names which is true in alot of cases.

I love Otherworldly! Gives me a healthy golden glow. Get away bronze is def not as golden or frosty. It' more darker bronze.

 

[staceb1990]

I seriously need to stop coming to this thread! It's killing me (and my wallet). My final list (I HOPE!)

Marine Life (of course!)
Hipness
Pink Rebel Drops
Thrills
and maybe Flurry of fun.....

I understand for example that when a collection comes out with some MSF's there won't be tons of them since manufacturing the product takes times, but ML is a powder blush with a stencil so they should make more of these!
