Would you want something less white and peachy like FM and more ivory + nude/apricot? It does the same sort of thing on me as FM, but less pale and retro and more natural looking, also with more sheen than something like Elude, but less than a lot of MSFs. It's really good at getting rid of freckles and unevenness and dullness. I know Mac-Guy was feeling like it came out with an orange cast on him, so if you're NW, you probably will want to test it - it may bring out the apricot in it more. It's one of the best no-makeup look face products of the whole year for me, maybe the best, though! I love it and am actually considering a BU, which I NEVER do with blush and highlighters, but have done with Elude and FM. Like I was saying before, I wouldn't want to use it over foundation - it's more for a very fresh faced, natural look. It works great under the eyes the way Elude does, btw. I know you like using Elude that way... I will definitely take a before and after picture of it on a day I don't have to use flash, like today. EDIT: Since people are comparing it to Light Year, it's got more coverage than a single layer of LY and is less powdery - more melt-into-your-skin. I don't think it'd be good all over the face like MSFs, it's more for the cheeks and a touch on the nose perhaps, because of the type of sheen it has. Even with more coverage, I think it winds up looking more natural than LY. I definitely like LY, but AG I loooooooove. :heart:
I think you just enabled me to get it.
Hot Chocolate is now sold out.
I was just about to go haul it.  Guess I will have to wait and hope for a restock or for someone to sell their BU. You guys actually enabled me to try SR again, but it sold out before I could try...
I'm at MAC now and they still have a couple left. Do you want a CP?

(You can sort of see the green duochromey-goodness of Fireside in this picture) Dry swatches of Ice, Silver Birch, Modern Pewter EDES (for Corally) and Fireside They really are SO much better wet - lots and lots more depth, shimmer and pigmentation!
Just gorgeous! That is how Fireside looks on me too, more of a cinnamon color! Love it, and I'm loving the bracelet in the background! Is that the Gingerbread man charm? I got him recently and am sad to have to store him until next holiday! I might have to keep him on year round! Enjoy your goodies!

You know what I love about doing CPs? I get to shop for makeup, even when it's not for me. You know what I hate about doing CPs? One (or more) additional items always find their way into my bag and come home with me, lol! Today, it was Warm Companion. How aptly named.

I have been collecting for six years and blame that darn little gingy man for making me obsessed with Pandora all over again! I wish someone would lock me in a Mac and Pandora store! Heaven! I would die a happy girl!

I can finally sleep at nights. The two items that had me feeling incomplete are now mine. Night Trail Eyeliner and Alpine Bronze blush The mall was supercrowded this evening could barely find parking. My first reaction was that collection was now sold out. In actuality most items were sold out at Nordstrom's as well as at Mac Adventureland ,lol I also got some perm stuff such as Painterly PP, False Lashes Mascara and Oil Mac Oil Control Lotion. I was recommended to make an appt for the makeover event for AG collection to ensure that items I am interested in is not sold out in Feb. Happy and 'Beautiful' New Year to everyone!!!!

Reminder: all the lipsticks are still available at Bloomingdales.com. You'll have to pay shipping, but you'll have to pay it if someone CPs one anyway, right? HC is also still available on Nordstrom.com.

I still haven't received my box. Hmm... I tracked it and the package has been in my city since Saturday. -_- I'm hoping it gets here. I've never had any issues.
