There's not much gold in it at all, which I guess is ok. I might use that one after I've use up my first!

Here's my Light Year family, the one on the bottom left is the one I'm currently using:

Love Love all your Light Years!  It's my fave MSF too.  I only got one BU though.  Makes me wonder . . .    I did force myself to use another highlighter today.  I have so many I can't believe it.  Anyway, today I wore Supernova (with my new Laura Mercier fan brush) with Superb EDSF.

I still haven't bought anything from this collection, but all the MSFs have been slowly but surely eating away at my core for the last month and half. I better get on that Light Year before Nordstrom is all sold out. I don't want the dreaded skipper's remorse!

I went to my MAC store a few days after the release, and the MUA gave me a very generous sample of VAE. It's okay, I don't love it but I don't hate it either. It's quite gritty but then it melts too fast that I have to work rather quickly for the exfoliating part. I do like that it brightened my skin and controlled my oils for a day or so though. But I'll pass on this. I'm not too keen on skincare being LE because that just doesn't make sense to me. I'll just stick to my waffle weave face cloth as my exfoliant lol.

CoU is so beautiful. You must get another one! *enables* haha

Yes hurry! I think these msfs are so unique you will regret not getting them.

Well, I did have a month and half to think about it. I should just go for it and don't look back lol. I'll order Light Year first and after I've added more funds into my account, I'll get the other three MSFs to take advantage of Nordstrom's cashback.

D'oh! I ordered from them earlier today but completely forgot to use Ebates. I need to make another order, so thanks for the reminder.

Yup, Nordstrom is at 5% cashback at the moment when it's 3% regularly. Come to think of it, why haven't I been buying my MAC here? I should do it more often!

YES! With the exception of online only collections like Ruffian and By Request, I buy almost all my MAC stuff from Nordstrom via ebates. People may think that they won't earn a lot but it all really adds up. I always say that I'm not going to spend a lot but end up placing 5 or 6 "small" orders. The cash back on that is like getting another free item, haha. 

I also love when they run 8% promos on Sephora...

I agree, Ebates really does add up. I think I'm too afraid of getting my MAC orders canceled by Nordstrom. That's the main reason why I don't get most of my MAC stuff from them. I don't like how some of their items appear to be in stock when they're really not. I've just recently started ordering from them online. Two out of three different orders were canceled because they couldn't fulfill them. I need to place another order today. I hope I don't have any issues.

If you order from Nordstrom as close to the online launch day as you possibly can, the odds of getting the order fulfilled are much higher. I also order from them b/c shipping is faster from Nordies than it is directly from MAC. But that's probably b/c I'm on the west coast and not a general rule of thumb.

Yay! I literally JUST started a blog yesterday and Light Year and the mineralize blushes were my first posts, so if you are wondering about those things the link is in my signature.

Edited to add: and also Center of the Universe

Yay, I love adding new blogs to my Reader!

LOL! I need to stay away from specktra :(... too much temptation.. but good thing is.. it was just my birthday and I got Dillards' gift cards. WOO HOO! I'm going to go to the counter in the next couple of days and see if they have LY!! So I was trying to decipher this.. but is it good to have a big swirl? Haha, or not?

Are there any other items that are MUST MUST haves?

Thanks mis chicas!!!!!

I'd be surprised if they have any MFS or blush left. I know online and Nordies has a few left. I think CoU and LY are must have as well as MA shadow.

I went to my local MAC counter over 3 weeks ago to pick up some more MES and I got MA, BM and a backup of NN. However, I really wanted Sky but they were out of stock.

I just got back from holiday in France last night, and happened to pass by the counter again today, to see they had a tester of Sky out, and only 1 left when I asked if they actually had any!

I snatched it up and had £10 of Debenhams beauty points, so it only cost me £6.50 :D and it has lots of the goldy colour tooo

Sorry about the essay but I am so excited!!! I would have picked up a BU of LY but they were sold out (I'll never get through mine though...)

Here it is:

Oh no :(. If not, I guess I'll have to use my other "birthday money" and order it from Nordies! Lol.. or just use my plain ole money.. whatever. Haha. Just trying to justify my purchases. Thanks love! I'm going to call my Dillards' counter in a few and see if they have any! And will check out CoU too!

I hope they do! Here the MSF and blush was gone in a matter of days. There were a few shadow stragglers left in stock when I was at the counters last week.

So do I, and I own every Mineralize product except 2 MES... Oh dearrr.

Now I am lemming Venus. Damn HC!

I know!  When will this feeling go away?  I think it is because so many things are lingering.  Usually things are gone so fast, you don't have so much time to ponder it.

I keep thinking . . . Should I get another LY BU?  A Strictly Plutonic BU? A Stratus BU?  Maybe if I ever get around to doing updated HC haul pics, those thoughts will disappear.

I'm still lemming as well. I look at my goodies every day but still feel like I need more. How is this possible? The other collections are distracting me but I always come rushing back in this thread to see if anyone posts something that will spark my attention enough to buy more. Luckily and sadly nothing has happened yet lol.

The swirls are still hypnotizing us all...

....your Sky has got super pretty swirls Gracie!!!

I just took a pic of everything I bought from this collection.

Is it possible to be both ecstatically happy and sort of ashamed at the same time?

Yes, I can totally relate. My haul is smaller but I still bought quite a bit. Did you get any lippies from the collection?

 Nope, but I am regretting not picking up Fire Sign and Venus while I had the chance! Oh well, the mineralize stuff was my priority (as if you couldn't tell haha)

I got a total of 11 Mineralize products and 3 lippies. Venus, FS, and CaC. I am glad I did get the lippies after all as I had thought about passing.

I called my Dillards and they have 1 MSF LY left!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm picking it up after work. Woot woot!

After this I am not opening up any more threads about new collections. Lol. Must. have. will. power.

Thanks lovely ladies!
