Plastic surgery + steroids nightmare (plus crappy makeup on top of it all). He was kinda boyishly cute way back when he was first starting out (not that I want to comment on his comedy act, lol).

I thought the lady from Real Housewives in Miami was bad, sheesh

i don't think they have the book with the collection yet, i believe they (MAC employees) go to updates soon and they will have it then. i hope.

My coloring is very similar to hers so I always look to her site first. sometimes I don't like a color on her but I like it on me or visa versa. most of the time tho the pics are extremely helpful. I like how she gives more than a few possible dupes. I think she is disappointed in a lot of mac products because she buys them herself and feels like she threw her money away. I have purchased items that she gave a bad rating only to find out that what she said was true. so far the opposite hasnt happened yet.

As far as reds are concerned I am pretty sure I will be getting Ronnie Red. when I heard that Mac was releasing a Marilyn Monroe collection last year I knew there would be. a red lipstick. I did not buy red racer or ruffian red even tho I thought both were beautiful. I did recently buy AP and I love it. I don't wear red too often (I'm more of a bright pink girl) but I'm glad to haves few different shades. plus
do u have a red Lippie with Veronica on it? I kno I don't and I am getting all the lippies first. wih the blushes
then whatever I can afford after lol
I hope I get an invite I want some extra goodies!! I'm going to call mac right now!

I am not a frequent visitor to her website, but I found T's reviews quite true at least with the new Rouge Allures from Chanel.  She was among the few who found it drying..and I find them terribly drying (though, I know a lot of people love these lipsticks).  She didn't like the Hidden Treasure blush from the Styleseeker collection, but I absolutely love it.  I guess it's just a matter of differences in skin type/personal preferences, etc., which makes different people have different reactions to the same product, even if it's makeup and not skincare.

I don't think her reviews should be influenced by the fact that she had to spend money on them, though.  Would she review products less harshly if there wasn't the added issue of having wasted money on them?  I sure hope that's not the case...besides, I think she gets enough returns on whatever she spends to not be too bothered about it  :) 

If she used an image without crediting the source/person - well, she just dropped a teeny bit in the rankings.

Yuss! Prince Noir is really awesome :) Not an every day color for me, so I didn't go BU crazy, but it's definitely one of my favorite deeper shades.

Boyfriend Stealer is the one that's grabbing me the most too. Ronnie Red looks like it has potential, but it also looks like it might be a lustre or another sheerer formula - hey, maybe it'll be a "good" creamsheen like Apres Chic - that could be good! Daddy's Little Girl looks an awful lot like Night Blooming mattene, which is a good thing for me, although I'm starting to drown in hot pinks.

None of the Betty lipsticks interest me, not even the coral. I have plenty 'o coral!

Maybe one or two lipglasses, one or two pigments (I love that pastel green but chances are it's not gonna love me) and that's about it for me - the blushes are pretty but I bet I have dupes by now.

I just spent so damn much between Strength and Apres Chic, I feel like I'm seriously covered for a while.

not sure if this has been posted before.

can't wait for the full colour story

Does Nordstrom website usually release Mac collections on the same day as Mac official launch dates?

If anybody knows about this, let me know.

(I should buy this collection at the Nordstrom website, so that's why I ask.)

i adore red hair, and if my skin was a different colour, i'd probably make sure my hair was either red or platinum.

 

 

do we have a firm launch date for this collection? was feb 14 accurate?

Thank you! My hairdresser does compliment it.

I love your hair colour, too! When I was younger I wanted a dark hair but these days I'm content with just being different (in every respect).

I'm not really excited about e/s quads in general: they are often composed entirely of colors i will never wear, or they're mostly matte, or they have poor color payoff.

But Call Me Bubbles is only the second quad in 3 years that i've wanted. I skipped it, not sure i have skipper's remorse, just one of the few i found really really appealing. But I figured i have Free to Be, and several light neutral, peachy, and copper shadows, so i didn't really *need* it. Still i really love that specific combination in one palette.

OK, OK, i confess the e/s quints in the 2012 Holiday Fabulousness sets were *gorgeous*, but i couldn't justify the expense - not after what i shelled out on Glamour Daze.

By twist you mean torturous right? LOL

Um. You're not helping.

I have Free to Be. I also have Shroom, Naked Lunch, Arena, Chessa, Mythology and Samoa Silk. I don't need this. I don't. I just love the look of Brash. Any suggestions about what would be a good perm dupe? I don't have Coppering or Bronze but I do have Sable (LOVE) and Twinks.

I even have a single slot empty in a quad. It's destiny.

I'm honestly not a quad person much either - I want every single color to be unique and perfect for me and when they aren't, I just don't want it at all.

The only quads I own are Leopard Luxe, All Woman and (and the CR Desert and 5 Beauties Play it Cool compacts, if those count). They're all very well used too - the older ones are truly dented up by now!

Betty's collex is cut off (she's the blonde). Promo photos means there will be a color story soon, I hope!! Look at all those lipglosses! Has anyone tried the mascara? If so, do you like it? The packaging is so cute, it might be worth trying.
