i find i have a hard time wearing violetta because i'm more comfortable wearing mattes or satins.  colours like underworld, firm form, and grey friday are all exceptional to that rule because they are kind of sheer and buildable... i wore strong woman yesterday, and it was very wearable....i wore absolute power the day before and i found it was surprising (for a matte) how little else i needed with it! in that sense it acted more like shades like cockney and ruffian red do on me, which are much a much lighter finish.

Did u find absolute power a must have. Your skin tone is close to mine.and what about firm form do u like it?

Oh the insanity! I had to leave the house unexpectedly to run an errand. I checked the collection before I left. Nothing. I check again on my phone only 10 minutes after I left and see items up. I freaked out. I kept trying to order Pink Pigeon, but it wouldn't let me. So I ordered what I could in two different orders. I had to search for each item individually by name since I was on my phone.

First Order

  • Party Parrot (BU)
  • Strong Woman x2
  • Firm Form x2
  • Absoulte Power x2

Second Order

  • Stereo Rose x2
  • Porcelain Pink

I was so freaked out over Pink Pigeon that I called after the 2nd order to see if I could get it over the phone. The rep was able to add it to my cart, but it disappeared when she tried to check out because it appeared as sold out. I asked if it would be restocked. She put me on hold then came back and said she had good news. The lipstick wasn't sold out. It's just not officially launched yet.

I'm going to keep trying to see if I'll be able to eventually add Pink Pigeon to my cart. I thought I was having trouble because I was on my phone. I see now that others were having the same issue. Since I'm back home now, I've placed a 3rd order for Apres Chic.

Third Order

  • Hot Chocolate

  • Haute Altitude


  • Après Chic

  • Cozy Up

  • Embrace Me
  • 287 Brush





I didn't get any eye products because my wallet exploded. I can live without the eye products, but not the lippies. I'm not giving up on Pink Pigeon. Like I keep saying, I'm punching babies and kicking puppies. It was hysterical when I was trying to place my orders. I had the bloodlust for these lipsticks!

I bought strong woman, party parrot, embrace me lipliner, and stereo rose. I was sad that pink pigeon sold out so soon, but I'm going to keep trying. If they put up pink pigeon, I'm going to get absolute power.

I was wanting to get Taupe Shape, too, as a closeish dupe for Notorious as a gift for my daughter. I can't believe it sold it already. I'm thinking this sellout is temporary. Thanks to CC, though, for blowin' up my phone when ish went down!

Well, I wasn't site stalking but was bored so I checked out the MAC site & saw the items were up. I quickly placed an order for Absolute Power, Strong Woman & Embrace Me. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get Pink Pigeon or Taupe Shape :( I'll have to try one of my MAC stores on the 26th...

I guess I don't really need Taupe Shape since I already have Chanel Notorious (which is amazing! I wish I could find a BU)

228 posts I've missed since this morning!!! Until I get all caught up, I will just say that I got home from work quite late tonight (almost 12:30 AM) to discover the collections were online! I knew they would go up while I was out! Luckily, I was able to place my order for everything I wanted, so hopefully I don't get one of those dreaded "sorry, we're out of stock" notifications. Kept it super simple from this collection and only got Strong Woman. I feel like a strong woman for limiting myself to just one thing! Apres Chic on the other hand...
