It's a bummer I won't be able to play with anything right away, but if I have to work, at least I won't miss out on anything.

I haven't gotten to see/swatch anything, but I'll probably call back anyway. Online can be really stressful, though. Especially when something is hyped and you don't know what time they're going to put it online. I usually order online, too, since I'm always busy, but for this collection, the idea just freaked me out too much. |

 those japanese dolls are just wrong on so many levels!!! the blinking eye dolls are the worst! i don't like #21 lashes cuz they remind me of the lashes on these dolls! i even describe them to customers that way- "these look like the lashes on the creepy dolls with the blinking eyes". |
Hilarious! It's funny coz I can't stand dolls, but I do like and collect Japanese Hakata clay figures. I really love the ones that look like kids. They're just too cute:

I'm almost tempted to go into work a little late that day. Like you said in a previous post, it is just makeup. But I still want it bad though!

and I will be so sad if I can't get what I want!!! Honestly, with this collection, I think it's safest to reserve. If you have to stay up all night waiting for it to go online, you'll probably miss more work than if you just reserved. |

I hope you get what you want!|

and I feel good getting this since I passed on Blue Flame last year. The pink/purple is nice but I feel it is redundant to my collection as I already have Young Punk and Later p/g. I also wish MAC had done maybe a Red/purple or Orange/Purple because the pink/purple are nearly indistinguishable. It was totally splotchy...she said it was Studio Tech and I don't know about the wear time of ST, but she was totally pissed as she had to redo her foundation. I guess I will take solace in the fact that I rarely wear a full face of makeup.

Sorry so long and HTH! |

But, from what I have in my collection, Strange Potion looks a little like a shimmery Sock Hop (another LE) l/g. I haven't seen anything similar in the perm line and I am mainly getting it to pair with Toxic Tale. Unfortunately, I can't really give an opinion on Wrong Spell b/c I was trying to keep "tunnel vision." It didn't strike me in any of the initial swatches and was never on my list so I refused to look at it. My MA was trying to get me to look at the eyeshadows and Hot House but I kept telling myself that the e/s are dupeable and Hot House looks just like my Magnetique...you know...See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil.

Anyway, I reserved: Wicked Ways l/g, Toxic Tale l/s, Strange Potion l/g, Bite of An Apple Blush, She Who Dares m/e, Revenge is Sweet l/g, and Cajun Magical Cooling Powder.
My favorites are: Wicked Ways, Bite of An Apple, She Who Dares, and Revenge is Sweet. IMO, RiS looks nothing like Sweet Strawberry (which I love and have a back-up of). If more funds become available, I WILL be backing up RiS. I have Violetta already and I feel this is the perfect l/g to tone it down a bit or to wear alone. I really like Heartless but I have to be honest w/ myself and I am more of a l/g person than l/s. Plus, I have Ruby Woo, Cockney, and another red l/s that I rarely wear. Bite of An Apple is absolutely gorgeous and a MUST have! She Who Dares is and I feel good getting this since I passed on Blue Flame last year. The pink/purple is nice but I feel it is redundant to my collection as I already have Young Punk and Later p/g. I also wish MAC had done maybe a Red/purple or Orange/Purple because the pink/purple are nearly indistinguishable.The Cooling Powders surprised me because they are shimmery. I don't see how these can be used as a finishing powder. Truth and Light was too light for my complexion, but I probably could have used it as a eyebrow highlight or cheek highlight. I didn't get that because the shimmer was like champagne/green and looked just like my Universal Mix Pigment on my hand. Cajun was also too light for my NC45 complexion to use as a finishing powder but I do think it wall make a nice, natural highlight. Now...the funny part. I don't know if I should be worried about the Cooling Powders or think of it as a fluke. While I was talking to my MA, one of the other MAs poured out some of the Cooling Powders to use to highlight and contour her face. As soon as she placed the brush with Cajun on her face to contour, the powder erased her full face of makeup. It was totally splotchy...she said it was Studio Tech and I don't know about the wear time of ST, but she was totally pissed as she had to redo her foundation. I guess I will take solace in the fact that I rarely wear a full face of makeup.

Let's hope it stays that way until i can make up my mind and call again to reserve everything.

I preordered (cut & paste from other thread b/c I feel lazy about typing it all): My MA told me to call asap if I want to add anything b/c they are almost sold out of what they got in stock. The only things that I would be interested in that I didn't preorder are the other blushes & toxic tale. LOL |
I need to get over it, tho, because vv is definitely worth it!

and if/when you do get there, the items you want to look at could possibly be in someone else's hands
