What is this strange "limit" concept you speak of?

I think I may have to limit myself as well to about 3-4 eyeshadows, I'm SO poor and my visa yells at me every month.

I am really hoping this is the same White Wheat as the one in the Intintive Eyes Quad. I know they used "white wheat" as the working name for Cloudbound from Balloonacy, but it was not the same. Cloudbound had blue to it and white wheat definitely does not! Maybe they are really bringing it back. If so, I am seriously going to buy 10! haha

i just remembered that my 15-pan blue/aqua/teal pallette has only 1 slot left o.O; i need a new one before cool heat comes out!

I'm excited about the shadows and the new perfume. I love turquatic XD

Although I think it's kind of bad timing to come out with a fragrance since it's summer and I don't think people wear alot of it when it's hot.

That's it! I don't have another "addiction" (cigarettes, shoes, purses...) so MAC is the only thing I give myself - I should enjoy it, shouldn't I ?

Who has already tried or bought the fragrance turquatic?
I love the summer perfumes by Escada - do you think I might like turquatic as well? Thanks.

Yes you should! I tell hubby that all the time, I don't drink, smoke or buy massive amounts of clothes, shoes or purses so let me enjoy my MAC addiction!

And I have changed my mind. Along with every single e/s, Tropic Glow and Gentle Summer slimshines will be mine. I tried Bare and Funshine when they first came out and didn't like them (swapped them away) so I'm going to try again and hopefully love them like everyone else does.

I am not familiar with Escada, so I can't help there, but Turquatic is my favorite of all of the MAC fragrances. I definately want to try out the new one!

Arrggghhh...I do have to confess that I do have a shoe (mostly) & purse addiction too. Not as bad a MAC though

mimanchi · 04-06-2008, 01:06 PM #**113** (**permalink**)

I can't wait for this collection to come out. I love MAC but I'm not one who would buy anything that comes out. But I think I will buy all the eyeshadows of this collection. It's been long enough for a good collection like this to come out (since Originals).

Yes, me too. I have tried to cut back on my shoe purchases so my husband doesn't have a heart attack. I was really bad at one time. Seriously though one time about three years ago shoes.com was having a massive Saturday sale and I went friggin nuts. They had all these cute wedges and other little slip ons by like Chinese Laundry and other cute brands for sale prices as low as $4.99. I ordered myself 23 pairs and my daughter-in-law 17 pairs of shoes. They came in these giant boxes. I thought my husband was going to effing freak the f**k out. But we had so much fun trying them on and all. But I will admit some of them are still in their boxes never worn. And I have two new pair of Frye clogs I've not worn, but they are so cute. At least the MAC I do use, ahahah as soon as I open my three holiday eye pallets and two Heatherette trios.

While MAC is my biggest addiction, I have a few others including Vera Bradley bags, and Starbucks. MAC though, is my biggest obsession, and I LOVE it! I couldn't give it up for anything.

This is one collection I will buy most of. I have cut down my wishlists for other collections so that I can afford to splurge on this one. I wait for collections like this, and go nuts when they come along

Oh my gosh I love that shoe story!!!!! After reading posts here I now want Turquatic too!

I think the things that really please me about the late spring/early summer collections are the killer orange packaging from Neo Sci Fi, that there is a great range of colours (neutrals from NSF and brights from Cool Heat) and the FINISHES!!! God, I have been gagging for veluxe pearls and frosts. They are perfect for spring/summer makeup. I know I will end up getting every single one. I'm done for!

I'm guilty of the same thing. Last summer I went into Marshall's and they were revamping the shoe section, so had clearenced a bunch of shoes from $3.99 to $7.99. I came home with six pairs of shoes for less than $50, including a pair of Coach sandals for $5.99. Never have I been so stoked about a sale. I still haven't worn some of the Cole Haans yet, waiting for warmer weather.

How much is Turquatic? Does anyone know?

And I really really want to get all of the eyeshadows, even if I do have tons of teals and blues. You can never have too many I say!

At least I'm not into slimshines, so I'm probably only going to get the eyeshadows and be on my happy way.

On the site, Turquatic is $22.50 which really isn't too bad of a price!

Have enough of a color? Pshhh, that is utterly impossible!

Oh, I love Starbucks, too! My MAC counter is in a mall and there are three Starbucks as well. I have to drink my Vanilla Latte after getting a new MAC haul...

MAC and Starbucks are strongely connected for me.

I completely agree. I am an eyeshadow fiend anyway, but with VPs and Frosts coming, I am done for. They are my favorite finshes. With Neo-Sci-Fi, the shadow colors aren't something I would normally go for, but since they are VPs I hope to get all but expensive pink since I already have that one. I love that the blend effortlessly. With Cool Heat, well, that's a no brainer for me. Those are my kind of colors. When I showed my hsuband the collection pics, he said "hey, was that made just for you?"

And when he saw the Turquatic perfume, he was all excited and asked if I planned to get more. I have gone through 2 bottles of it already and we both love it. Another thing I am excited for is that the only slimshine I want is going to be permanent so I don't have to hurry for that one.

I know what you mean. I love to finish off my MAC haul with a drink from Starbucks. It's like a ritual
