I'm glad you finally got them! Hautelook sometimes takes forever, too. At least they pack well (unlike the R&R site). Hope you're enjoying everything. I wanted to get more shadows, but am waiting until the next Gilt, Hautelook, or Beauty Story R&R sale . . .

Still holding out for Call Me - the blushes were just restocked, but not Call Me. That's 2 shipments now which haven't included it, and it takes them 2-4 weeks to receive another shipment.
I just placed another eyeshadow order, so I guess that will have to do for now. Keeping my fingers crossed that they arrive in-tact. And hoping one of the online clubs has a sale soon.

I'm sorry that it took me a little longer than I expected to upload the blush swatches. You can find them here: http://www.specktra.net/forum/f217/r...8/#post2007748

I purchased two blushes: All-Nighter and Lust from Rock and Republic and 1 eyeshadow: Skintight and 2 lipglosses: Drama Queen and Hot Sauce from Beauty Story. I am extremely pleased with all of my purchases! I really want Seduce and Bedroom blushes and I am also interested in Alloy, Exile, Ammo, and Jaded eyeshadows...but I am trying to resist because I already own 1,000 neutrals.

I really want to purchase more eye shadows but I would probably have to skip any purchase from Fabulous Felines. I have not purchased a lot of MAC this year. Fabulous Felines was one of the collections that I do want to purchase from.
The Rock and Republic sale may be over at the end of the month. I can't have both Fabulous Felines/Rock & Republic. What to do, what to do?

My order from Beauty Story came today. In addition to the 3 blushes I got from previous sales, this time I got blushes in Foreplay, Kinky, Spank, and 1 e/s in Tempting, and I love them all!
I was worried about Foreplay because it looks brown in the picture, but it's a nice neutral on. Tempting is also nice. I tried it on my super oily lids by itself and it holds up VERY well, no creasing. First e/s that does this to me without a primer.
I really really want Bedroom and couple more e/s, but FF and VV is coming, so i don't know... I hope they have more sales coming up in the future.

I know I'm late to respond, but I thought my tinted primer was defective too. It wasn't, you just have to be persistent to get it to de-cork/dispense. I used a paper clip inserted in the little hole in the bottom and you have to press until you feel the bottom of the inner liner push up a little. This is one item that should come with better instructions. I swear it took me a half an hour to finally figure it out (with the help of the ladies at MUA), but after that I had no problem getting it to dispense. I don't think you'll have much luck using a conventional lotion pump to dispense it. The primer is like a very airy mousse and very non-liquidy. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me and I'll try to help you out.
By the way the texture is very nice, but it doesn't have a lot of coverage. It is a really nice primer though. I love this on days where I just want to skip foundation.

The good thing about Kinky is that it is very buildable. You can keep layering until you get the depth you like. Since I am NW 20-25, I use a skunk brush and a light hand when using it. I would think with a dense blush brush you can get better color payoff. Plus, I just like looking at the pretty hot pink color in the pan

You'll have to let us know how you like your glosses. I wasn't impressed with the ones I got because they didn't last long on me at all. I have loved every shadow and blush I have gotten from them, though.

I'm a NC45 and I bought Kinky. It will definitely show up. Like the other poster mentioned, it is buildable. It is not super pigmented on first swipe but a couple of layers later you can reach full pan color, if you wanted.

Well, maybe HauteLook or Beauty Story will have a sale again in the 'near' future.
