You said it Mac-Guy- good use. I've limited my BU purchases because I don't really end up using them- more like give them away.
Enjoy Lou!

There was a crowd in my store today as well but I just sneaked to the front and swatched everything really quickly and had to wait in the long queue to purchase what I wanted. I was so scared something was going to have sold out while I was waiting! I think there was only 2 Watch Me Simmer l/s left!

I hope they let you join the fun, I am really curious to see what you think of the collection.
Great haul.It's just up on Selfridges at the moment - it's up as an early exclusive
Great to hear they managed to find one for you after the drama they put you through. Lou, you must be in TT heaven by now. I like them a lot, but the smell is not my cup of tea. Liba, I hope you can post pictures. I love makeovers when they are like yours.

We used a little lip pencil underneath - I'm assuming it was Dervish, since that's about as close to my lip color as they come. RD was a super MLBB shade and had an excellent moist quality. I got a good 5 hours of wear out of it too, and even drank without damage.
Oh and as my MA said "all these women think they'll get the same result due to the makeup as you, but on them, they're just going to look like Thai ladyboys." I guess the eyes really do have it

my march Haul will be very big.. Shop Cook + Vera O___O
my final (?) list:
Watch me simmer (hoping it's not as red as Hibiscus on me) and I've decided to not take more lipsticks.. I must use the ones I have ^^ (and because today I caved and bought a Mufe one!)
Optimistic orange
Call me bubbles
Scandelicious
Tread gently (I guess this one is the more sparkling.. I don't have a balm with sparkles^^)
sadly I keep on thinking about Shop & drop quad too it's lovely, but I would use it? I feel guilty when I spend a lot of money on makeup.. and with Shop Cook + Vera I reach 200 euro!!!! It's really a lot!

Here I am to be your anti-enabler (or not!). Watch Me Simmer is a beautiful color and I think on your skin tone it's going to look very bright and springy. It won't lean as red as Hibiscus on you, so you're good there, but you have a good chance of it looking more orange on your lips, rather than the pink tones coming out, based on all the pictures you've shown of your lipstick looks in the past. If you have In Synch lip pencil or Hip 'n Happy from TdF, you'll be able to make sure you get a little more pink than orange out of it, if that's what you want. It's not going to look like a bright version of Flamingo on you, just so you know. If that's what you were hoping for, you will be better off trying Full Speed Sheen Supreme which really leans more pink, while still being very similar to WMS, or waiting for Chen Man and/or Reel Sexy (it looks like the pink lipstick from Chen Man may give you more pink and stay as bright as WMS).Watch me simmer (hoping it's not as red as Hibiscus on me) and I've decided to not take more lipsticks..

For reference, WMS is as bright as Hibiscus on me (which isn't super bright, since I've got such red lips and that NC15 skin) and runs soft tonally with about a 60/40 ratio of orange to pink. For someone with a bit deeper skin tone like yours, it will for sure read brighter and that alone will accentuate the orange, on top of the cast your natural lip tone will add. Haha, is that technical enough for you?
Scandelicious will probably look great on you, but personally I never much cared for it, didn't get it with Peacocky and skipped it again this time. There's something about it that is just a bit "seen this, done that". I'd say skip it and get the quad you're dying for instead or save some $ for all the rest of the collections coming up.

My last look for this collection, I promise. I've got Colour Added on the lids with Pre-Packaged in the creases. Self-Serve is in the very outter corners and bottom lash line. (I used this color wet on the lashlines, and it seemed to show up OK. I haven't tried it on the lid though.) Laundry Daze is my highlight. On my cheeks I have Early Morning MB and Blonde MSF. Hot 'n' Saucy is on my lips. It deposited just a hint of color, which is what I expected.

Love this color on the lips, gives a nice light wine like tint to the lip.

That's such a beautiful look and it really brings out your eyes! I wanted to skip the quads, but this one looks gorgeous and I don't own these types of colors.

If mac has a new stratgey of changing colors of lippies with the same name and launching them in different collections,it seems to be working, I will defintely buy WMS when it launches in the reel sexy collections,that is ofcourse if colors are different.

thanks a lot Liba!!! I guess I'll take WMS ^^ I could try it in store t be sure. I already have Hibiscus and although it's really lovely I don't need something that looks too much like it. Passing on Scandelicious to take Shop & drop could be a reasonable choice, but I'll still think about it! What I really like rom Shop & Drop is the blue eyeshadow!
