I wound up getting 4 Felines.. lol, but by mistake -- oh well, they don't go bad so I have enough black for my eyeballs until 2013.. lol
Do your eyeballs look like this?
<super scary all black screaming eyeball face deleted>

On a less horrifying note - Feline hasn't been a smudge fest for me on my waterline like the other Kohl Powers I have. I'm pretty thrilled. No <scary eyeball face> for us!

awww I missed the horrifying picture! lol

So I picked up Chilled on Ice and I am very dissapointed. It's super duper sheer with gold glitter chunks and no color with one swipe. If I add another layer, it immediately becomes crusty and caked on looking once it dries just like I feared.

I wanted to wear this under Solar White shadow, but again even with one layer, it turns crusty. Ill be returning this and it's such a shame 'cause it looks so pretty in the pot. I also checked out the grey paintpot and it's just as sheer, no matter how much I swiped on my hand, I could see right through the color. I am a NC15. Oh well.

I picked up the gray paint pot and got good result from dabbing/pressing the colour onto the lid; although I haven't experimented with it much. I did notice a mass of glitter on my cheek after I was done with it, but I was also working with idol eyes which may have been what was responsible for that (by the way, idol eyes does look very pretty over top of DC).

I also picked up I Get No Kick, which I am loving. It makes a very pretty highlight in the inner corners, and I hear it is nice in the waterline but I haven't tried that yet.

I also got calm mode tinted lip conditioner. I loved the smell of it, the name, and the colour. It also makes my lips so soft! I think this is actually my favourite from the collection.

I want feline. I have major issues with smudging, though. I passed on it last year because of this. How bad is it, really? Does it stay in the water-line better than smolder?

Now I want one of the lip gelees. Sin-tilation. I saw it in person and the glitter was insane! I thought it was too insane so I passed, but now I am having second thoughts.

I will be out by a mac counter later tonight so I think I will pick up Sin-tilation. I love the pic earlier in the thread of it over Pink Friday (or was that Luxure?).

I think I also noticed a comment earlier in the thread about how the quad's ETB was different from the rose romance version--I noticed this too! This one was much smoother in texture and the last one behaved very much like a lustre. It almost makes me want to get the quad--but I can't because I technically have 3 of the 4 colours. Damn.\

Sad to hear about people returning things! I was thinking about another paint pot but now I might be a bit more careful...

My boyfriend was so sweet and took me to the mac counter yesterday. I actually really like the Cham Pale collection over all. Had a wonderful time testing everything without a crowd. The PPs were tempting but I'm so happy you lovely ladies of Specktra warned everyone about the glitter. It was the first thing I saw when I swatched them. I was like, "Oh dear ... I know exactly what these will do after 2 hours of wear." So I skipped them even though Chilled on Ice was hard to say no to.

The quad was boring to me. The nail polishes were okay. I liked Gel but I'll get it later. I loved Bubble Lounge and Sin-Tillation! Omg these were amazing. Bubble Lounge is something I could wear by itself and just feel glamourous all day long. Sin-Tillation looks wonderful with Style Curve. But I skipped these for Chanel's Aragonite Glossimer. It just looks even more amazing on. If I wasn't saving for Peacocky I'd probably get these two lip gelees anyway.

Feline really is the blackest of the black. I didn't believe it but after I swatched it I was convinced. So one of those went home with me. I also loved Quiet, Please. Idk why it just seemed like a good nude for me. I really liked it even though I didn't think I would.

Here's my tiny little Mac haul:
1 Feline
Quiet, Please
Style Curve

So I wore Let Me Pop all day to a Secret Santa party and I stayed well with the pat-down, let it dry, then 1 more pat-down application... I did have some glitter fallout but I also got an opaque look- I haven't tried these with eyeshadows over yet that might help keep them there too. However, I wouldn't actually recommend these to anyone. I kinda like them- I'll probably buy 1 or 2 more b/c they're really fun holiday makeup items & I got loads of compliments (or that could have been my green-side She Who Dares eyeliner

). But they take time to work with which isn't so great compared to how many products you probably own that don't take this much care. I'm so disappointed in Flustered- I just can't make it work but I've never returned anything to MAC before & I kinda feel bad since I know it's getting tossed in the trash.

That's what I did - I pressed it into the lid (no primer or anything else) with my finger. It stayed for hours with NO fallout.

I'm not madly in love with Dangerous Curvee, but what I do like about it is that because it has a faint lavender tint to it, it really brings out the green in my eyes. *bat bat*
