I wanted to love refined so bad.... but it looked white and ashy like on my skin, boy was i mad. I agree the textures of these msf's are nice and smooth but i don't see how these are dark skin woc friendly, oh well. Aquavert also looks a bit too pastel but it can definetly work when paired with the right colors on darkskin.

Sooo, I ordered:
Lollipop Loving l/s (swatched on my hand in the store and it was so pretty; hopefully it will be on my lips)
St. Germain l/s (I will more than likely never wear it myself, but I had to have it. And, I'm sure I can make it work on a client)
Aquavert e/s (I don't have anything like it)
Peppermint Patti n/l (Can't WAIT to put this on the toesies!)
I had to be semi-good. I'll be in Vegas next week and I'm sure I'll hit the pro store up, PLUS the Makeup Show is in a couple of months and that will be a HAUL OF A LIFETIME! LOL

Its not about the cash.. its just about making this decision not to buy and sticking to it. I would be extremely disappointed in myself if I just gave in and forfeited the promise when I only have a couple weeks left.
I'm sure the goodies i want will be available then.

Aquavert is the prettiest soft green, it doesn't work on me without me turning it blue/teal but with the shadestick, I am thinking it will my color. Sorry for the enabling. |

I think you should stick with your "no buy".
The items will still be available then as you said, and if not -- life will still go on.
There are a million and one soft greens eyeshadows and nail lacquers. None of these colors in this collection are THAT unique as well as FLATTERING to warrant panic. If Aquavert came out 2 years ago, guess what? It'll be back in two years too.
Stick with your promise to yourself, boo boo. I support ya!

If PP sells out I can settle for that. *tears* |

It's because they aren't. I haven't seen them in person yet, but Ikeep looking in the swatch thread and I just don't see how I am going to make them work for me. At this point it looks like I might get Butternutty & Cakeshop and call it a day.
ETA: And it is weird that MAC would choose such a cocoa complected model for this collection when it features such light MSF's. I bet that model isn't/can't wear Perfect Topping or Refined.

My MA was wearing Refined today on top of Sunbasque...She is NW47 and it looked wonderful.....It gave her a very natural gold peach glow......which looked so pretty! She also had it lightly brushed on her shoulders and chest and it was amazing!! I did not think it would work...I have gone back and forth with it trying to say it was not for WOC ...But in fact it does work and it doesn't look ashy or chalky at all IMO....
As far as perfect Topping...I wore it today on top of DollyMix and it gave a very wonder pink/lavender tint to my skin....
So IMO the MSF's work for all skin tones.

After reading the reviews...I think i'm skipping everything. LOL. I only had a couple of things on my list and now I don't think I even want those. This will be a pass for me. Saves me money!

i resisted the PP polish, I think I am going to try the zoya polish exchange (ZOYA: Nail Polish & Healthy Nail Care) and see what I can find similar. I did get the MSFs last night, but so far haven't got past the petting stage.
(edit: nothing similar to PP.)

For my skin tone and skin type it turned chalky, not peachy or light light gold just ashy

I'm really curious about Bubbles lipstick. Have any of you seen anyone wearing it or have a good use for it?

Ok yes I have TWO.....It is perfect on top of lip stains and lip pencils....The MA shaded my lips with Chestnut...yes Chestnut...and then lightly colored them in and applied Bubbles on top and it was so pretty!!! He also did the same with Magenta lip pencil and it was gorgeous...It is a nice goldish white shimmer......It also is good for toning down dark lipsticks are way too bold lip sticks....tt adds a pearlescent shimmer glaze on top.
Anything that helps me use Chestnut is a Plus!
