You mentioned this is your biggest haul from one collection ever....have you seen or heard of the upcoming Mac collections as well? Hope you're ready cuz i know i'm not! lol

I'm on the fence about Glamourdaze...if someone would give a little push...be gentle now...oh, oh I just might do it!

I noticed that too.  Seems like the dress doesn't fit right and there's some side boob peeking through that cut-out. LOL.

I only have two...Pleasureseeker and Shag, and I like the finish a lot.

I am sure that my final haul will be MUCH higher than my initial pre-order. I always pre-order a few items, then call my SA and add a few more, then buy even more online (and in some very sad cases, resort to evilbay or the clearance bin when skipper's remorse rears it's ugly head). But, I always feels so accomplished when I whittle my list down to a "few" items! I like to trick myself into thinking that several small hauls are better than one major haul. 

I just got back from Toronto and was able to test out ALL the products except the Guilty Passions mini sets and Making Pretty.

To me seeing the lip/brush and the travel bag  in person I wasn't loving the look themselves the leopard print in a clear overlay plastic on top of fabric.  XP Totally not getting the travel bag I wanted, it looks like some you find in a dollar store. It was also small with tiny pouches. Just not practical.

The eyeshadow palettes where decent in quality but the pans are tini-tiny as the palette are 3"X3" in size roughly. Super small and fit inside you palm.

The EDES in A Natural Flirt is back on my list as it's a love light nude duo chrome.  The colour shift it super subtle but just lovely.

My favorite of course are the wallet eating Fabulousness Divine Desire sets in Quite Coral and Paramour Pink. Everything is well putter together in terms of quality. I have not loved a Lipglass in a long time but both Pure Flattery and Warm Embrace (pink with light gold shimmer) sold me.  The cremesheen lipsticks I also want so badly and the blushes are nice. Also the bottom tray can be pulled out to convert the bag/box to a clutch. It a good size was well. The brush I wasn't able to properly test as t was embedded into the display bit I kind of wish that it wasn't include in the set and bring down the price. lol I mean they are $85CAN for a total of $170 if  I went for both, but the Quite Coral is the one i can see me using more being so fair.

I'm really hoping the lip product shades get repromoted as they are the selling feature of these sets.

I am still debating on this bag too *sigh*

I have Lickable already but somehow I think that I need such a bag....do I really???Is it crazy to get the set just for the bag???

BTW is the lip pencil regular size?

Anyone with a NC25-ish skin tone could talk about the blushes? I'm specially interested in Small Vanity! Thank you

I will have to go over all the pages to look for swtaches before the collectione releases in Nordie x_x Ouch!

ughhhh i'm tired of stalking the MAC website already!!!! Come on MAC!

Thank yo for posting those....I'm planning on getting them (my counter isn't preselling the gift sets GRRR) but wanted to see the darker two.

Still don't know what to buy... is it on pro yet?

Starting to think preordering in store is the better way to go for this collection.  By the time it comes online and I get my stuff delivered, the collection will have been out for at least a week already (with an order this big, I am not tagging on another $20 for overnight shipping).  The store is about half an hour away from me, so not too bad.  It would probably be worth the drive to be able to pick up my stuff on the 25th instead of continuing to site-stalk and not getting my things until days later.  Still debating.  I'm going to call one of my friends at the store today to see what's still available since I know they sold out of some things already.  Meh...this collection is giving me a headache.

So true. I start considering things I never even looked at before and figuring out how I can't live without them...it's a sickness!

I wish I knew for sure. From the pics I am guessing its not regular size because when I put the Mac lip liner pencil I recently bought next to a Creamsheen gloss the liner is way taller. By about the length of the whole cap of the lip liner. I figure I'll go for it regardless the pics of everyone wearing Lickable on Google sold me on it!

If anyone is looking for a lilac-ky glaze formula take a peek at Pervette.

That is odd. My girl at Nordies said she was going to take my preorder form to the back and pull everything for me, and this was on Thursday.

After MAC has been super early with releasing the past few collections, they are now super late. Oh my... they just keep it "interesting."

Haha, I'd like to see it as MAC being ON TIME. I'm hoping that this is a continuing trend, at least for the regular MAC site. I'd love if it we could depend on MAC to release the collections when they're scheduled to be released, thus eliminating the need to stalk the website for days on end. 

When was the last time Pro was released this late? I remember it was that way for MMO, but I thought it happened with a more recent collection as well.

That is odd. I split my GD pre-order between two counters (b/c I love SA at both locations, not because there was a lack of product available at one).

Well, it looks like I waited too long anyway.  My store is already sold out of most of the items I want.  I knew I was making a gamble by waiting and waiting for it to show up online early, so it's not a huge deal.  Just means I'll have to wait a little longer to get my GD things and that I won't be able to wear the new products for this event I'm working next weekend.  And this is exactly why I would never bother going to a casino, lol.

ETA: And this means I'll still be in stalking mode the next couple of days.  Maybe I should pick up some more coffee at the store this afternoon in preparation...
