I saw the 222 a few months ago. I definitely stocked up! If I see anymore, I'll pick up some for you!

Hmm, I actually very much like the look of Baby Don't Go in T's swatch. I'm curious to see more reviews on wear time!

There's nothing I'm drawn to in this collection, and none of the swatches or reviews I've seen have me feeling that I'm missing something. I liked the Tres Cheek collection and HS blushes better; I'm so glad that I was able to get both IF and LA. With my neutrals, it feels like I have the professional office look covered.

The 189 seems to be hanging around forever...

I did not find that the PLW blushes lasted a longer amount of time - or shorter time, for that matter - than the regular powder blushes. Both wear equally long on me. On the other hand, the mineralize blushes tend to fade quicker.

Stubborn is very well pigmented, I like to use the brush #187 or #188 to apply it very lightly on my cheeks. And it stays at least 8 hours without fading, probably longer than that but I like to remove my makeup as soon as I get back from work.

I do have oily skin, but when I apply it on my cheeks my skin isn't even oily yet and it doesn't look powdery. And not every shade will look good on everyone, I think T forgot that it's great to have pale shades for light skintones and that doesn't mean that the product is bad. I dunno.. just my 2 cents. Don't get me wrong, I love her.

I should've waited for the reviews to order, but I jumped the gun and got Ever Ivory and WLL. Can't wait for WLL... kinda meh on EI now.... :/

Me too!  I'm also NC30 and I've been wearing Blush All Day since 6 in the morning and it's still there!

I'm going to skip this one.

I was so looking forward to Thursday to check out the two new collections, Office Hours and Face and Body, but the Bay just sent out a $20 off coupon that starts next MONDAY. Uggh. Hope nothing sells out.

So glad to hear the pigmentation is good. I put in my order today and I can't wait to get it.

The lipglasses seem to be the better part of the collection.

Is there a Free Ship code?

OFFICE is the fs code

Anybody want to describe the colors that has them? Man, I must have been napping or something, I'm late on all of this.

I just went on MAC Chat because I was curious about the lip products used on the Office Hours Promo photos and I was a little shocked. 

These are the products:

Lip conditioner (tube)

Bittersweet PLW lip pencil

In Synch lip pencil

Persistent Peach PLW lip glass

I was shocked because Bittersweet is hella dark for that look and it looks kind of matte for gloss.  I don't know...

Ohhh I was guessing In Synch was used in part, due to its yellow-pinkiness. Interesting that it looks very matte! Must be a layer of photoshop on top, too hehe

Thank you! If they wear similarly to normal blushes I'm okay with that. I think Baby Don't Go miiiiiight be the "nude" blush I've been looking for - so many of them turn extra pink on me. I will have to check it out next month when all my fun money isn't already spoken for!

Don't know if you guys know this, but Stubborn is on Nordie's site.

the promo email on this collection scared me, lol!

i hate it when they send GIF emails.

I think I'm going to pick up Stubborn in stores on Thursday so I can swatch Mauveless.

I didn't even open it. I am a bad MAC lover. I was like mehhh no duh!

I'm not even sure where CCO's get these brushes from - I mean the older ones, not the latest collections. They probably sat in the drawer of a Macy's or other department store and no one there asked for them. Well, I'm always elated to find brushes at CCO's. It's usually my BU-of-my-BU's plan. :-)

LOL, I called ALL the CCO's in So Cal and none of them had it! Oh well, I tried. Maybe I'll get lucky with the CCOs in Vegas, but they have high traffic at those locations. 

Dear MAC, please repromote the 165!!!

Thanks for the update! I am very tempted to order it, but I should probably wait until I can swatch it in person. Plus, Nordies has triple points starting tomorrow!

LOL. You need to be prepared for it! ROFL

I was really looking forward to a new pink with this collection but with all the bad reviews I'm not sure I want to spend the $25 for one.

Any opinions on Girlie? Is it similar to either of the pinks in this collection.

Thanks for your help.

I might the only one but I am excited for the e/s!

I like to have some shades that are more sheer and matte.I plan on using them to set my metal-x e/s e.g.I think that Linger Softly

will look very nice over Obscura and Cyber.

Also I think that these sheer shades are great for blending out the edges.EI should work with nearly every look and the other

e/s with the matching look (Bloom on for pink/rosy looks....).

Fashion Fix (Review and more pics on the blog, link is in my signature):

By the way it's great for the brows, if you are looking for a true taupe brow powder without any warm undertones.

Thank you PrettyKitty!

Very good to know!

I will definitely try it for my brows because I need a replacement for the Taupe brow pencil as it is d/c.
