I have an electric toothbrush so after I brush my teeth and rinse my brush I turn it on and brush my lips lightly. Everything comes off even red lipsticks that stain!

You ladies are killing it---valkolak & kimbunney. So incredibly lovely.

Enjoy your purchases!!!

They just look so yummy!








Here are the Caramel Sundae Quad and Veronicas Blush on darker skintones in case anyone was wondering.







I have on Ronnie Red and I used the Veronica's Blush as a highlight. It looks bad swatch (my opinion) but on the face it's a lot better but def. not a blush for my skintone.

Wow, we have the same routine!  Except I don't have TT...I don't remember why I didn't get them.  Maybe I thought they wouldn't be anything special?  :shrugs:   Anyway, seems like I missed out!  But my conditioner does a good job.  I'm surprised they discontinued it as I know many people who use it, and it's still the best I've tried.  Oh well.  On to bigger and better things, I guess.  And I totally remember that exfoliator!  Omg how long ago did that come out?  Was that 2007?  2008?  That was a pretty nice product. For anyone who suffers from dry lips/skin, remember to condition/moisturize at night!  I know so many people who only do this in the morning, and it's sooooo important to do it at night because your skin loses the most moisture at night!  Keep that skin beautiful!

Summer collection 2008 baby! I got BUs! Still have some too :wink:

At least yours didn't just leave it outside without ringing the bell... which they are NOT allowed to do...I was home, they are supposed to leave a sticky note telling you they will re-try the next day... but if he was too lazy to ring the bell of course he wouldnt leave the note. I live in a condo/apartment so there is only 5 other people who live in my building, but there are several duplicate buildings surrounds us. Even though our "condo community" is gated... one of the people in our building said someone stole his paystubs and tax documents he left in the car by accident. My UPS guy didn't ring the bell, he just left the boxes outside... along with a order from Sacs Fifth Avenue with a $600 dress. I was furious. I'm just lucky I caught it hiding in the corner near snowy bushes. I expect USPS to leave packages outside... but UPS policy states that employees can't do it.... at least in my state.

Oh Pretty Honeybee---wow! I like them all on you, so pretty

arrrgh the Ronnie quad has already faded on my lids. I has a sad.

That's too bad

I was hoping they performed well over a paint pot. Did you use a base?

I've been refreshing the Macy's website all day & they still haven't put up the Veronica lipsticks! Or did I miss out? Even though I was up around the time the collection was released! I want Ronnie Red! :c

 

[MACina]

I think that I will wear Legendary together with Betty Bright!

Thank you for the swatches, hazyday!

Legendary on the left, Cream Soda on the right for anyone wondering how they compare. I love Cream Soda!!!

 

[MACina]

I have to try this combo!!!!

Just received my order in the mail! I am LOVING everything, definitely one of MAC's better limited edition collections!

Here I am wearing Ronnie red and cream soda blush

Hope everyone's enjoying their goodies

If I could, I'd like to get a little advice from you guys... I literally have NEVER used blush before. I have a lot of redness in my cheeks, so I've always been scared of using it for fear I'd just end up making the redness look worse. That being said, the blushes/Pearlmattes in this collection are soooo beautiful, I'm having a hard time passing up the chance to get one (or a few!). I was just wondering which cheek product from the collection you guys would recommend to a blush newbie. Maybe something that would be easy for me to use that I couldn't mess up too much!

For reference, I'm somewhere between an NC 15 and an NC 20.

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts, Elegant!

I will definitely try to use it under my eyes too because my skin is very blue under my eyes

And I will get the Nars powder soon too

They just look so yummy!
