Oooo Jennsjewelz now u got me lemming for Temper Tantra, I was originally goin to skip it cause it looked so  dark when i swatched it on my hand... sighs

 

but i've spend too much on this collection already...12 e/s and 6 l/s !!! I cannot buy anymore if not no money for wonderwoman :(

Yes I do believe I do. I'm gonna be near my store Friday so I'll stop in. These are gorgeous.
 

I think exxhibitionist is also a nice coral red color lippie, but i have to sheer it out with my fingers...it can be a bit overpowering for me (NC20 btw)

Thank you so much peachsuns!! I needed that right now..

& Thank you Jenn for restoring my hope for Dalliance! Yippee!

my goodies will be arriving today! i am very excited! :)

Enjoy, Lou!

I bet you won't be disappointed - they are lovely.

Meanwhile, I ponder if I should get SOY and Papparazz-she... This collection is addictive!

It's true!! I should use it also like a blush then 

Let me know if it works out :). I love Taj Mahal btw.

Both looked so pretty on you!! I'm thinking of getting both now. Or at least Super. I find that they looked deeper on my lips, probably because of my pigmented lips... but somehow I like it that way too, more natural looking.

Oh wow... what did you get? At mac german online store, the first sold out item is Prance and So Vain.

Suuuuper pretty, but I couldn't capture the colours on camera because of the snowstorm we're having. Very strange lighting. I paired it with Nuance Mineralize Blush and Temper Tantra - sooooo gorgeous!!! Although the orange is bright, I feel that the whole look pulled together and look classy and chic.

 

 

 

 

On another note, my family just sent Jerome and I a Valentine's Day package with candies to share :) So cute! It made my day to get people mail vs. MAC mail lol, although that kind is good too :) European ladies, let us know when you get your stuff and what you think - you've been waiting so patiently!!!

 

EDIT: I forgot to say that this is such a warm look - it will be so nice for fall! But I want spring and summer first :) Just no more snow, please...

So pretty!

Totally agree with addictive!! I still want to get Unflappable, SoY, Noir Plum. So Vain and Super. Although that means another big haul . I also need to get a 219 brush. Gah...  or "MAC will eat my wallet". I'm going to ask hubs to go with me this weekend, he keeps me cool headed in the face of limited editions . 

Btw, I love the color of Odalisque but I'm still looking for a way to wear it... any suggestions for a look that's not too bold? 

Anyone got any tips/advice for depotting the eyeshadows? I'm scared!

It's interesting to see that different colours are selling out first in different countries.  I'm curious to know whether it's a case of customers' tastes differing from country to country, or the amount of each product delivered to those countries by MAC.

I'm waiting for my order and the mailman - it's absolutely silly, but I don't dare to take a shower because I don't want to miss my package! lol

^^ lol, Anneri, I'm also like that!! Even though I know if it's our regular one, he'd come again the next day (yes, I order often online so the delivery guy knows me).

Tomorrow I'm going to take my flaunting it, so vain, paparazz-she, mating call, noir plum, dalliance, spectacle of yourself, unflappable!! And I also have to buy a brush (I need 239, 222 and 219... but I'll buy 239 tomorrow), a fix + ... a liquid eyeliner T____T I've never spento so much money for make up in my life XD but I know I'll be happy ^^

dhl havent been to the shop yet! i want my package!!

Mine isn't here yet, too - fingers crossed it comes today!!!

Anyone else think Noir Plum looks like Ben Nye's Royal Purple?

geeko's making me wanna get So Vain now but coral shades are hit or miss on my skintone. I just have to wish there'll be some left few weeks from now when I actually get to see the collection. It's looks so pretty on you!

I'd love to see a comparison swatch of So Vain with Ever Hip, Jazzed and Strange Potion. Too bad Temptalia only did comparisons with lipglosses.

my box arrived and i am very happy! although i am kinda wishing i ordered more of the lip things! i got love peck and it feels so nice on my lips and seems to be lasting quite a while too! very pretty indeed! dalliance is my fave shadow out of the 3 that i bought - such a pretty colour and i shall be wearing it tomorrow for sure. paperaz - she is so vibrant! i dont really have an orange like it so i am very pleased with my choice. then i also got odalisque which is ok but not that special. i dont find it as opaque as the other two that i ordered but still ok :)

Dalliance is a gorgeous shadow.  I saw this collection in person last week and it is the only item that tempted me.

Daliance is my favourite too so pigmented and wonderful!

yay! i'm pleased i made some good choices!
 

Went hauling for a second time and got Unflappable and Super. Originally wanted to get So Vain but it's not as great as Super with my complexion. I'm not sure why. Too much coral perhaps. Super is a pretty nude pink. 

Unflappable is looking like a plummy purple on me. I love it. Going to try it paired up with Odalisque.

I hope I'm done with the collection now. I like Noir Plum and SoY but I can live without them. Also I think I would never need to buy another teal eyeshadow. Odalisque is going to last me a lifetime 

For anyone looking for Woo Me Kissable Lipcolour, I was able to find it through the MAC customer service number: 800-387-6707.  It is sold out on the US site but they were able to locate it for me.  Hope this helps someone! 

I see sawatches of Prance and it looks so pretty and I can see it going well with lots of colors but wondering if its too frosty for my older eyes. Any thoughts on the frostyness from ya'll that have it?

i got my peacocky haul today! it was a mini haul (3 e/s, 2 l/s) and here are my thoughts...

prance - ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. my favourite item of my haul and it really surprised me because i didn't expect it to be! i actually expected to regret this a little bit but it's amazing. buttery soft and soooo blendable too. actually considering a back up as i can see myself wearing this everyday in a neutral eye.

spectacle of yourself - the item i THOUGHT would be my favourite! this was the one i coveted all along and the colour doesn't disappoint. it's lush. even if i find this difficult to pull off colourwise, it's totally unique to my (beginners'!) collection and so, so beautiful.

mating call - BIG disappointment. i wanted to love this. i thought i would & that it would be probably the easiest item to work with as any shade of purple/in the purple family usually works really well with my colouring. it seems really sheer in comparison to the other two? i had to work harder to build the colour up, anyway, and the texture was nowhere near as smooth and soft as the others. this makes me a sad panda because i SO wanted to love it. oh well, i'll try and work with it for now, and if we're still not getting on i'll part with it eventually i guess...

l/s wise, i got:

woo me - i was so afraid this would be too beige-toned but omg it's purrrrfect. looks really blah in the tube but looks perfect on - a really easy, wearable nude. considering backing this up!

enchantee - i asked myself if i needed another blue-toned pink, esp as i have gaga l/s and l/g.... the answer is i definitely do. i really, really love this shade on me. it brings out my cool tones and is another backupworthy item imo!

also, i mixed enchantee and woo me together (one lip woo me, one lip enchantee, just so i could compare and contrast, then mixed) and it's a total 'my lips but better' colour <3

Any ideas with which colours I could pair Dalliance with? I don't want to pair it with greens... (the obvious choice) and my mind doesn't work properly...

I think it could work with so many shadow colours, honestly, but I am going to try it first with Satin Taupe, Quarry and Carbon - cooler neutrals.  I think it would be gorgeous with browns like Cork and Espresso, too.
 

Thank you!

Browns - I'll def do this!

I had high hopes that my black box with Center Stage and Love Peck would arrive today, but no luck. Booo!

Shadowaddict: I'm 33, and with the metallic effect you could see that I'm not 20 any longer when you were peering at my lids. BUT: the overall effect is gorgeous! The colour and sheen is to die for, and I decided not to mind. I use a PP underneath it, though, and hope that it makes the skin of my lids a bit smoother. hth!

I heard Prance was the first one here and Woo Mes were flying off the shelf too. No wonder we didn't get Stylishly Yours
