OMGosh! This thread exploded 1000+ messages for me. I don't recall checking in on this thread yesterday because I got all my items and was on the hunt for Cinderella. I was oh so unsuccessful it that hunt but the good news is I got my first box from Mac yesterday with Summer Opal and the green/teal polish (sorry I just caught the end of that green/teal conversation). So I happily wore Summer Opal today. I put it on with a 159 and combined it with Good Girl Gone Bad blush (This is the blush I should have backed up) anyway, I really like it but it seems to be one of my more delicate highlighters. I think I will try it with my denser highlighting brush (I think it's 189). I'm used to a more POW!, in your face highlighter but this will do for a nice change of pace. Oh wait, this is beauty powder so maybe I can use it all over??? I'm not sure how that works.
As far as the lipsticks, I couldn't make up my mind whether I should get them. I like nudes but I didn't know how this one would work. I like orange but I've just about overdosed on orange. I find I like them more in the summer and last summer I had two orange lip colors that I used a lot and thought why do I need the other ones. The purple was out of the question. Fun color but oesn't quite work with my skin tone. The pink was a question mark as I don't wear such bright colors much. I have the Pleasure Bomb so why would I need this but they all look so pretty. I thought maybe I could exercise restraint but I don't know in the moments before launch some of my reasoning seems to leave me. Well, that craziness the morning of the Nordstrom launch and my need to get to work on time led to skip it without regret in that moment. But now that I see all the pretty pictures, I'm thinking hmmmm.
My Nordies order arrived just a moment ago, eye palette and the other 2 nail polishes. I'm quite happy with this launch so on to Julia Petit!
