I emailed MAC about the re-stock of the blushes (I didn't buy the lipsticks from this collection). The email said quite clearly NO restock of the blushes online. I'd definitely get those lipsticks from a store (some ppl have posted some locations with good stock in this thread, but otherwise just call around). I wouldn't wait long, knowing how popular those lipstick colors are.

Yesterday, I got Absolute Power and Party Parrot in the mail. I also got Pink Pigeon at my local MAC store after Christmas. I can't wait to try them all. They're bright and beautiful.  eyelove.gif

Prettykitty absolutely stunning as usual!

I am sooooo glad I broke my no buy for Absolute Power!!! Its awesomesauce. It turned out a pinky red on me. I was afraid it would be too close to Ruffian Red, but it's def different. RR is more of a bright cherry red. I tried it with Magenta liner and it brought out more of the pink in it th_e2cloud9.gif

I know, she really is gorgeous in the pics I googled. I too am not fond of the dress, but love to see that mac took a different approach with this collection and stepped out of the box. As a mother to 3 beautiful girls, I want them to see that women REALLY do come in all shapes and sizes and that we are all BEAUTIFUL! 
 
off topic a bit...
not sure if it's been brought up yet. I tried my AP,pi pi, & pa pa lippies and find I get a lot of red or pink staining after I remove them. Like they are SUPER pigmented. Anyone else experience this?

^^^Yes AP & Party P are really hard to wipe off completely. I have the same trouble with Love Goddess too.

I am really late to this: Heavy snow and a sick husband put me out for a while.

I got both PiPi and PP from this as well as Black Ice Liner (prior to temptalia review: Is it true that these "suck"?). Didn't know that they sold out online (out of loop) and decided against a PP Bu so I returned it the next day and the SA said they hadn't sold out yet. Had I known I would have helped people who missed out! 001_unsure.gif

I googled her too and she is gorgeous. She just looks so harsh in the MAC image! I can't decide if it is the garbage bag dress or the Sumo wrestler hair.

today i tried firm form with revlon's lip stain in "crave" underneath. the result was a dark glimmery plum that was wearable and vampy. just thought i'd share the idea!

LOL  lmao.gif Well yes, I did getWarm Companion in the mail on Friday.  It's beautiful but I can't wear it until my Nice & Simple arrives on Monday!  You insisted that I need to wear them together so that's what I'm aiming for.  I'm thinking a smokey eye using my CR Desert Camouflage palette should work well with WC topped w/N & S.  What do you think?
