Not melted, but sweaty. Haha. When I bought Long Stem Rose Slimshine at CCO (again in summer), I put it in my car trank and drove home like 40 minutes.
I should have known better. Haha. That lipstick actually melted a bit. But after it's cooled down, it was OK. So no big deal? At least for me.

I don't think I will make it back to Macy's this weekend. |

I ended up with a lot more from the collection than I thought I would get...especially considering I am on team "ugly packaging" for this and I am trying to be very careful about what I purchase lately.
I got:
-Firecracker (I didn't buy HHH with SCF, and this seems unique compared to what I already have - I have a feeling I'll need to be careful with it though - it's definitely a strong color!)
-Humid e/s (not sure why I haven't bought this before - I'm glad it was re-promoted. Sometimes all the LE collections make me overlook some of the great perm. items)
-Beachbound, Lazy Day and Thrills l/s - all are okay, but I probably could have done without them...Thrills is the most unique, but it pulls a tad orangey on me. For some reason, in pics, I can really see the gold in it, but I don't see that as much on my lips. Not sure if it is me or what, but I wish I got more of that coppery/gold look from this one. Lazy Day is tad too pale and cool for my complexion I need to wear this one *sheered out* and with a good lip liner. Beachbound is SO dupable. But I am a lipstick girl. So all of these are keepers.
-Easy Lounger and FoF x 2 (FoF is *amazing* SO unique, SO pretty! I am considering a third! I can't believe this hasn't sold out yet. And Easy Lounger is so sparkly and pretty) Are these by chance a new lipglass formula? They don't seem nearly as thick or goopy as most other l/g. I really do love both of these.
-Life's a Breeze lip pencil
-Hipness and GAB (Although I am not loving Hipness...my skin already has a lot of pink undertones...I prefer something more coral-y, I think, so Hipness may go back or else up for swap. GAB scares me a little. I'll have to play with this over the weekend.)
-Scorcher n/p ( LOVE!)
-and a second 130 brush (for creme blushes) I really have decided I love this brush. I was so skeptical when it came out because it was so small, but it is dense and perfect for creme products!
I am considering a creme bronzer....and temp. rising lip pencil as well.
And although I missed out on Marine Life, both online and at my counter, Marusia is coming to my rescue (Thank you, dear!!!)

When I was at MAC yesterday and she was doing my m/u all the TTB stuff was in the drawers at the station where they do the m/u near the register and it saw TONS of stuff! They also told me since they are one of the busier stores in the area they get more then most. Also they told me they will be redoing their store starting next week and temporarily moving upstairs to the old Bandolino location. She said they are making the store like the one in FL...maybe the one in Miami? It will have wood floors and brass shelving.

yeah, they do that. Put them in the fridge for a bit & they'll be fine - if they aren't already.

I don't know now! All this talk about lipstick sweating is making me think twice from ordering Lazy Day
from MAC's website! I checked the forecast for my area next week (when my would be package will likely be delivered)...it's supposed to be in the upper 70's-low 80's. In Maryland, where it will ship from it looks like the same forecast picture temperature-wise.
Do you think I will be okay ordering the lipstick?...I don't think it will melt/sweat in transit those temps?...you

I've opened lipsticks many times only to see a melty, soft mess. I'm in Texas. I've gotten to where I don't even look at a lipstick until several hours after it's been at room temperature. I've either ruined them by excitedly applying them while still sweaty, or messed up the base because they were too soft.
Putting them in too cold of a temperature is not great for them either, it speeds up condensation. Just at room temperature for a couple of hours.

Now I'm considering backing up Flurry of Fun and Easy Lounger even though I haven't recieved them yet and I do see myself using them a lot in the summer.

Oh man, now I'm thinking I need a Flurry of Fun backup (again!). I don't know when I will see a lipglass this awesome again. Also, I'm on the fence about Lazy Day. If it looks like Angel then, hell no. That lippie looks HORRIBLE on me.
Easy Lounger has got me curious because some WOC seem to like it. However, not to be harsh, I see a lot of WOC wearing colors that I think they are in denial about. I'll see.

I like Thrills but don't love it; and love Lazy Day but have Viva Glam Gaga already - I know it's not the same colour, but anyways... So my choice would be Fun Bathing.
