Very good point! smiles.gif I'm probably going to Vegas in July, and they have an Inglot store there. Heard great things about their shadows.

I do love them! Not enough to get all 4 though. I think for sure I want the BB one with mint leaves. I have red cheeks so it would help with that. Maybe I'll get one from each coll yes.gif

I've decided to skip the Pearlmattes. If anyone sees me changing my mind, please intervene. lecture.gif

I'll rather get the BB ones, or maybe none at all, depending on funds. April will be crazy with all the collections.

I think that's what I'll do too but it will be a tough decision on which one to get. I recently got a Vera one from my CCO and I'm thinking about going back for the other. Sadly with Archie there won't be much time to debate

Do you have any pearlmattes ? Even if you don't , have you gotten to swatch them and what do you think of them?

Yes, I have both from the Vera collection. I really like them, but don't love them. The texture is a little bit... hm, stiff I would say. I prefer beauty powders and MSFs. They're definitely nice though, on one hand I do want them all in my collection, on the other I can't justify it, since I barely used the Vera ones.

For now, I think it's only:
  • one or both Betty pigments
  • Mall Madness gloss
  • Daddy's Little Girl (maaaaaybe)
  • Veronica quad (maaaaaaaaaaaybe)

Just not that bowled over, especially considering what's coming up next.

Which lipstick do you think is a dupe of DLG?

Thank you Naynadine! I'm also C4 so I donno how it'd look on me, I bet it would barely be a highlight on me.

It looks like it may look like Night Blooming on me. I'm bringing mine in to compare.

I really hope there will be comparison swatches for Cream Soda blush. Somehow I feel it could be close to Supercontinental. Maybe lighter.

How many blushes of this color family with a satin finish can MAC release anyway?! thud.gif I know I don't need all of them, but I still want them. sigh.gif I already skipped Easy Manner, and it feels like I committed a crime. I feel so bad for every blush I leave behind. blush-anim-cl.gif Kinda feels like not picking up a lonely puppy that's sitting at the side of the road. lol.gif

I guess the sheen would still show on darker skintones. It's probably best to try these out for yourself if you can :)

My Macys told me this past weekend that they would get it this week but they didn't give me a date as to when it would be available for purchase. Hopefully they will stick to the Feb. 7th date.

Hopefully Cream Soda is different enough from Legendary? Or actually hopefully is similar enough... I deff DONT need more blushes but I cant help but want to buy them too!

That's the reason why I can't decide whether I'll get pearlmatte too!! You have a exactly same reason as me!!! I wasn't satisfied with the texture too after I got Vera's.

Aww. Legendary is a great blush, so if you can find one, snag it up! I bought EM and it brought out the redness in my cheeks so it had to go back! I'm hoping Cream Soda is similar to Legendary but different enough to own both.

All the damned Veronica lip glasses (Mall Madness, Strawberry Malt, Feelin' So Good)

Magic Spells pigment

Black Poodle pigment

Prom Princess Blush

Veronicas Blush pearl matte face powder

My favorite counter isn't take preorders but they did put me down for an event appointment on the 8th; I am probably going to try to bump it to early on the 7th to have even a modicum of hope of getting to purchase whats on my face.
