Me?

I think the order I had them in was: Strictly Plutonic, Meteoric, Astral, Galaxy Rose

I found out last night that Astral is really similar to Star Quality CSG... 

Star Quality has a little bit of coral tone, and Astral has some sparkle - but they look really similar otherwise.

Hi everyone!  Still a newbie around here, but I am loving the HC discussion!

I just found out that Supernova is sold out online but I was wondering if this means that it will be sold out in stores as well. Or do stores like Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom release HC after it's available online. Would I still be able to grab Supernova even if it's sold out online?

I'm located in NYC if that helps!

Usually they seem to have a separate stock alotted to the stores for selling there... and Nordstrom should have some too when they launch, so you still have some chances....I would try to call and reserve/pre-order one in store though cuz it will probably be gone quickly.

Same here, haha  I like keeping everything in pristine condition and get as many pics as I can before i start swatching and playing with them!

I'd say yes, you should still be able to find Supernova in stores and counters, unless the counter pre-sales all the Supernovas they have in stock. Pre-sales, however, have nothing to do with online sales. There's still hope for Supernova! =)

Okay, thanks so much! I'm going to call Bloomingdale's now. Do the collections usually launch online before they launch in-store?

what to wear today....so many products....so few cheeks.

I NEED MORE CHEEKS!

Yep - they always launch online first. Usually just a few days early, but this time was over a week early. In store launch is July 5th

I you are in NY I would suggest heading to the pro store on this thurs the 28th. They open at noon and they get the collection in a week earlier than normal stores. It is on West 22nd St.

Has anyone compared Supernova to NARS Desire?? 

It seems like Supernova is a warmer version, depending on your swirls?

Thanks! I'm learning so much here I love it, haha. Don't you need a pro card to go there, though? 

I got mine this morning! Wow that was fast! I ordered last night!

Here are my pretties!

So, here are my initial thoughts (I am NW15-20 normally, without my spray tan):

I am SO happy I got all 4 MSFs, i didn't think I would, but I am SO in love with all of them (I have all MSFs MAC has ever made, except 1 or 2).

**NOTE WITH MINERALIZED PRODUCTS - - They can all look different on everyone because no single one is unique... just remember that**

Light Year: Really like pink with gold shimmer. Not super chunky, but soft. This will be a BEAUTIFUL blush. I wouldn't wear this as a highlight just becuase there is too much gold swirls in it. If you only picked up the pink and you are super pale, it would work as a highlight

Center Of The Universe: This is the one I was MOST worried about. I thought it might look way to orange on me. It is not orange, it is definitely peach, but when yo swirl it with the pink and gold it turns to the most beautiful coral with gold sheen. This will work on ANY skin tone. It is very pigmented so you wont need much at all.

Star Wonder: SO BEAUTIFUL! It is a pink with plum undertones again with the gold shimmer. This will be beautiful built up or even sheered out. T's swatches must be REALLY heavy, because mine isn't THAT pink. Again, this is soft, and once applied, I could not feel the shimmer. It wasn't gritty to me.

Earthshine: In T's swatches it looks more red based, then mine. Mine looks like a TRUE light brown bronzer with the gold shimmer. STUNNING! I have light skin, and I think this will make an amazing contour color or bronzer. You can definitely use this with a light hand (fan brush or small stippling brush). This will look so nice on any skin tone. If you have darker skin tone this would be such a beautiful blush/bronzer too! This one was soft too!

I have not swatched all of the MES that I got, but I did swatch Earthly, wowza! I was most skeptical to order this shade but I am SO happy I did! It is BEAUTIFUL! It is the perfect shade of taupe with the gold shimmer running through it. It's soft and VERY pigmented. This is one of the best MES I have seen MAC come out with (not just for color) but also texture wise.

I will be posting my haul video later tonight. I am at work right now, so I can't swatch everything and post a pic. I will do some comparisons in my video as well.

I hope you guys found this helpful!!!!

A drunk swirler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I love it

Okay, I lied.

After seeing swatches I'm really quite liking Ring of Saturn - I also especially like the name, when I was a kid growing up learning about space Saturn was my favourite planet, haha.

I've never owned a mineralized blush before - mainly because they're all so glittery looking and I have suuuuper oily t-zone and ridiculously large pores that I don't want to accentuate them.

I have Lightscapade and Soft & Gentle MSF's - I only use Lightscapade in the tiniest amount as a cheek highlight which is great.

Really not sure whether to bite the bullet for RoS or not esp as I'm so pale.  Any suggestions?

Just placed my order, overnight code NAILS worked for me! I usually wait for collections to hit the counter--but I have been waiting forever for this one! I bought..

...Light Year MSF

...Star Wonder MSF

...Cut a Caper l/s

...Venus l/s

...Meteoric c/s/g

I am excited to receive these items. I have never used a cremsheen glass before, so hopefully it looks and feels as great as the other lip products :D

Exciting - but will you get to peek at everything since its at work?

Those colors will be beautiful on you!!!

I still can't figure out if cusp of dawn is more beige or more pink.

Just ordered a BU of Venus I love it on so much .)

The best one is in Queenstown Outlets across the bridge. They have the most stuff. The one in Arundel Mills has much less inventory.
