Then you give it to me to eat, LOL. Sounds yum.

Okay back to original topic...

I really don't know what I want from this collection yet. There aren't enough swatches for me to decide. The colors do look pretty but in all seriousness, I am sure there are dupes. I guess I will have to make judgment when I actually see them.

Adina-You're boyfriend must friggin' love you!

Garlic Mashed Potatoes are soooo good. They have contributed quite nicely to my big potato sack filled ass.

I have a bonus card from work that gives me $300 to spend on this collection, otherwise I would be in the same boat as a lot of you girls an unable to buy what I want from BBR. It is sooo my CoC, I WANT IT ALL!! And fortunately there is nothing that has come out recently or in the near future (other than the sculpt foundation) that I'm interested in...this is the be all end all for me..starting 09 with a BANG!!!

Wow, I'm really screwed with this collection. So far, I've counted about 9 items that I want, and only one will be through B2M!

I am really screwed as well. I have really tried to curb my spending on other collections to go a little crazy on this one. Are the MSFs really $28 a piece? Right there that is $84!! And with all of the eye shadows I want I am in big trouble.

I think I only want the smudger brush and a few lippies from the blonde collection.
Nothing else really screams at me since I'm a bright kind of girl when it comes to eyeshadow.
Hopefully this smudger brush will be nice and soft!

I'm scared to know the Canadian prices...

i totally do the same thing!!! i don't like regular mashed potatos, but a raw one with salt is killer!

anyway, back on topic.

i unpacked these at work today!!! i will swatch them friday night and post pics, but i did take some shitty-ass celly pics of the brushes tonight for your viewing pleasure.

they ROCK!!!

#227 vs. #214 (the #214 is a mini wee-me version of the #227)

sideview of the two

#224 vs. #226 (the #226 is a bit pointier (kinda like a candle flame) then the #224. the tip of the #226 is more like the #138 contour brush, but other than that its a mini #224))

#165-this is a mini #138

oh, and here's our christmas present this year.

like i said, shitty-ass pics!

If I end up spending too much on this collection, I have no qualms skipping HK at all. This collection sounds like all sorts of gorgeous! I know there are 10 items I want for sure! And even then I'm not all that sure!

I really want to start seeing swatches on skin!

Erine you are seriously the best!

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

Thank you sooo much Erine!!!

Now I'm getting the #226 for sure. It's perfect!

Hmm...should I get the #214? should i should i? Hmm... this is tough, considering that I'm still trying to cut down my list for BBR. What am I suppose to use this brush for?

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

^^^ oh man...i have a feeling i'm gonna cave in and get the #214

cut down on the shadows.

deep shade is a bit similar to deep truth. there's one down.

femme-fi is just another shimmery neutral. two down.

flip isn't all that great. its a yellower version of mythology, and french cuff is a pinker version. three and four down. and these are both lustres. damn you mac for your mislableing.

if i remember correctly, knight is inbetween silver ring and knight divine. so if you have either of those and don't need similar colors, five down.

besides, shadows come and go. there's always a similar color. and they literally come and go. you use em and they're gone. brushes are forever.

YAY FOR NEW PICTURES!
Not only is this new camera going to benefit Erine but Specktra too!
