So I went to Mac today and the MUA didn't have a clue about the lipsticks :(
They don't have the line at all there >:(

So I'm still debating the All Woman quad. I have plans to get the Chanel Prelude quad. It's full of grey tones as well. I'm getting Prelude for sure, but I'm wondering if All Woman would still be necessary to my stash. Any suggestions?
Or I may take my chances and wait for it to arrive at a CCO.
awww man... they do seem close, but on others pics they look similiar. can you take the Chanel quad to Mac to compare?
Party Parrot - NYX Plush Red, MAC Lasting Sensation
Pink Pigeon - MAC Embrace Me/NYX Pinky, NYX Hot Pink, MAC Beet
Absolute Power - MAC Cherry/NYX Hot Red, NYX Deep Red
Strong Woman - MAC Currant/NYX Currant, MAC Vino/NYX Plum, MAC Nightmoth/NYX Y2K, MAC Magenta/NYX Purple Rain, NYX Prune, NYX Deep Purple
There's a ton of other options. You can also mix and match for fun, like using a purple liner with Absolute Power.
AP is very beautiful on you, ForeverJenn 

So I finally played around with my absolute power today :)
It was a bit shocking to me to see how much darker this lipstick looks in the tube then when applied on the lips..
Here it is applied once (indoor picture)
Here's a full face picture, just so you can see it better.

I recall that you wear lashes. Maybe you can add these to your NYE look to set off the gold eye shadow. They're lashes with Swarovski crystal accents. I don't wear lashes, but I'd probably wear these for NYE if I did.

Those lashes are pretty amazing but a bit daring for me. I've been breaking out of so many boxes lately that my husband is questioning my stability. 
If I were to emerge in those he might have me committed. I'll have to gradually work up to them.

You're inclined to backup products, so instead of backing up either of these just get one of each. If you're really trying to narrow it down then go with the formula that you like best, especially if the colors are similar. Since you have experience with both formulas the choice can be based on that particular preference.
I got all woman and my prelude is on the way. I will post comparison swatch when it arrives on wednesday

I really want to try Sculpt but my nearest pro store isn't near enough and pro products aren't yet sold online here in NL.
I just googled swatches for Bone Beige and Shadowy. OMG! Shadowy in particular looks amazing!
I'll definitely need add these three shades to my list the next time I get a CP from the States.
Thank you for the suggestions peeps! ![]()
I am going to a holiday party for work tonight, and I am debating on what to do makeup wise...should I do a bold lip or something really intense with my eyes?? I have recently acquired so many awesome bright lipsticks so I am inclined to just focus on my lips, but I am also thinking holiday makeup is about the eyes (the more glittery the better...LOL). I am a makeup artist, so everyone there will have their faces BEAT!!
Thank you!!! You're so sweet for remembering it. Hope you had a great one as well! The dress sounds awesome.
Yeah I ordered from them like the night they released it online. I know it would be a delay because of Christmas but I thought for sure they'd have it to be by Friday. UPS doesn't run on the weekend here and with the new years holiday it will probably be thursday or friday of next week getting it. It has shipped but its stayed in its location for like four days now. It's not even in my state yet.
I know right! I don't even know if UPS runs on new years eve.

Whenever I wait for something to arrive at my local CCO it never does. Murphy's law I guess.

...I've got some selling to do.
As the night went on & after dinner, it wore down to a bright, hot pink stain that is pretty freaking hot. Lot's of pink in Ab Power, but I'm okay with that...more than I expected tho!
Glad you are so happy with your goodies!!!
Can you please tell me which shade of MAC BB creme you got, and what your skin colour/tone is??? What foundation shade would you wear in Chanel, Dior, Nars?? Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to try to be patient and wait for Monsy's pics. I haven't left for the mall yet. I hope I don't cave while I'm in the store. Prelude is a definite. I'm mainly questioning whether or not to get All Woman. My CCO barely gets anything good now that I think about it, so I may miss out if I pass on the quad. I'm trying to figure out if I'll have skipper's remorse for not getting it.
I placed a couple of orders the night the collection came out, my 2nd order which was to my PO Box came a few days ago, but the first one which I accidentally had sent to my Grandma's house (luckily she doesn't live far away) isn't supposed to be here until January 3rd. I have no clue why it would take so much longer, especially when I placed that order first. I mean, I could see it maybe taking a day or two more because it has to be delivered to somebody's house instead of just the post office box, but by the time it gets here it'll have been like a week since I got my first package. Dang holiday delays.
edit: mine has also been in the same state (Illinois) for several days, it hasn't gotten far at all

Skip the quad. It is ok, but there are far better items to spend the $40 on. My CR Desert quad blows this one out of the water!
