Wondering if I feel like fighting the cold for the Peach blush and eyeshadow palettes. Oh and how is the 239 brush?

The 239 Brush is very pretty, it's a great collectors item. However, I don't think the quality of the bristles is up there with the permanent brushes.

I swatched My MiMi in Nordstrom's tonight and while it is gorgeous, it's pricey (MAC tried it lol)! MMM blended out on me it looks exactly like Hot Sand from the ABH Ultimate Glow Kit... It's very glittery just like Hot Sand too... Sweet Sweet Fantasy blush was super pretty and pigmented as all hell, maybe just maybe lol...

Little miss Monroe lip glass is going to be EVERYTHING this upcoming summer! It's my favorite shade of the bunch! Just like honey is my second favorite! MAC is going to resend me the TMB loose powder because mine came and was a hot mess, powder everywhere! Have yet to swatch my mini even though I have a back up...I'll touch it eventually, just not ready yet. I'll get the SSF blush tomorrow along with my lipsticks. Kinda wanting the 239 but honestly I don't need it. Didn't pick up the palettes b/c I have several dupes for each shade. I'm gong to BU little miss Monroe! It's awesome!

Little Miss Monroe was one of my favorite lip glosses of the collection! So pretty and unique!

For financial reasons I haven't been buying nearly as much makeup but the Nutcracker Sweets line and Mariah made me come out and SHOOOOOOOPPPPPP. I've missed my makeup family. I didn't do too much damage I bought MCizzle, Just Like Honey, & Dramatique in store today. Earlier I ordered Little Miss Monroe and Bit of Bubbly. After switching LMM in the store I'm not sure how it's going to look on me. Surprisingly when I switched BOB it was very pretty. I can't wait until my order arrives. I'll try the items I bought in-store tonight.

Does anyone have both Mac Glorify and My MiMi for comparison?

Ooh interesting! I have to pull Glorify out but I don't think it is as sparkly.

I got Dahhlingggg arrived today and the packaging is epic. My other order from Macy's will be here Monday, I wish I picked up more than two lipsticks.

My Mimi is the larger swatch. I had to swipe it a few times to match the one swipe of Glorify in intensity. They are really close. I think My Mimi is slightly warmer or more orange than Glorify. My Mimi is more sheer too. Although it doesn't appear as much so in the swatch, My Mimi was more glittery to me than Glorify. Glorify had a high sheen from what I remember. I haven't worn it in quite awhile but good catch! When I says glittery, I mean some flecks. I really don't think it is very glittery.

I managed to get my back up My Mimi with a little hiccup. I called a store first thing this morning. They took my payment info. I show up in the afternoon to pick it up. No one knows anything about it. I appeared at ease but inside I was like this is unbelievable! After some time, they located the items. I got My Mimi and the eyeshadow brush. My eyeliner dried up today so I threw in the eyeliner. Didn't really need it. Was tempted by the kabuki brush but managed to resist. I really like everything I got and have worn the items many times since arrival.

OOHH!! Thank you so much for this!! I have been wondering how these two compared to one another! I wanted to just skip mimi but dang it looks so good. Smh.

I'm thinking the kabuki and the rest of the items will go on sale in a couple of months. If so, that would be a great time to snatch it up.

I had oral surgery yesterday morning but that still did not stop me from going to mac counter to get my mimi which surprsingly they had so many. I don't have glorify and thought this would be a nice addition to my collection since I recently purged a lot of stuff I was not using highlighter wise. Glad to have it now.

I've actually been wearing "My Mimi" for warmth on my face and it applies on my face with a brush differently then it does swatching it on my hand... it's so pretty but I doubt I'll reach for it much as I wasn't it for "collecting" sitting there all pretty haha!

My MAC store pretty much has everything still in stock which I'm surprised at!

^^^^^THIS is exactly why I skipped My Mimi! I have and love Glorify...but not so much for my face as for my eyes. Thanks for the comparison!

I wasn't sure if I'd like it at first, but I'm happy I went for it! Definitely unique for my collection

Little Miss Monroe



I still think there could have been more variety in the shades of the lip products

 

[gemmel06]

I've had enough of having unintentional skippers' remorse, hopefully someone in Canada gets my SOS...

i got Dahhlinggg, All I Want, and Rainbow Interlude gloss. Loooove the packaging and the lip colors in this collection. All very "me" lol. Originally this collection wasn't on my radar at all, but I got sucked in when I saw it in person!
