I posted lipstick swatches on my blog in broad daylight on my NC15(or more pale) skin.

This is the first time where I feel like I want backups of every lipsick haha.
Ah kiss! You're making me want all the lipsticks again!

I was in Walgreen's and picked up the Mint Sorbet polish (because today is a day my memory is working well), and am not sure how I feel about it. It matches my kitchen, though, hee! It's more a yellow based green than blue based like the pics of Mischievous Mint seem to me. Dunno. The lilac dupe mentioned wasn't available, though. I don't think I'll get the MAC one anyway, so it's money saved. Sneaky monitor color variations! Still, 2$ is better than 14$ for an iffy on me color.

I just preordered all the blushes, the quad, Candy Yum Yum, and Bubble Tea. I hope they have it all for me, I haven't had good experiences with preordering stuff from Nordstrom so hopefully this will be different since it's from a freestanding.

I really like Temptalia's swatches of the nail polishes but I've never really been into MAC polishes. Should I order them? I like that they seem to go on pretty opaque with two coats.

If you do want a more blue based dupe, I have Orly's Gumdrop and it seems to be a little closer to the color. They're about $5. Essie's Candy Apple is also close in color (but about a shade lighter according to Temptalia).

You can see the Orly shade here and a few other mint shades: http://www.vampyvarnish.com/2011/03/16/green-nail-polish-st-patricks-day/

All righty. I have decided to get CYY, QC & Playtime lipsticks. That is all. I may decide to get two of the QC lippies even though it's a lighter color than I normally would wear. It's unique & eye catching though. Instead of buying Miss Behave blush since I have been hearing the pigmentation isn't the greatest I decided to buy myself a coral blush from Avon for $5.99. Much cheaper!

This way I can save money for future collections.

can somebody post swatches of quite cute vs lavender whip?
candy yum yum vs schiap?
play time vs up the amp?

I want all three but for osme reason I feel I will order them and not like them at all lol. I hate not having a MAC counter where I live. And taking a 4 hours trip in train to Chicago its kinda crazy.... lol

for some reason i want sakura even thought i see a lof of bad reviews and see that the heart messes up the initially beautiful lavender color!

I just cannot make my mind up about the quad. I was going to get it but saw that it barely show up on the lids. But there are colored bases that could make them pop more right?

Everyone that has it is it worth $36?

I've changed my quite cute list a lot of times:
1list was quite cute, sakura, little girl type
2 list---naked, sakura or quite cute
3 list---naked, candy yum yum, playing koi
4 list--- naked in synch candy yum yum playing koi (and maybe the green polish)
5 finally I've taken the two lipliners and candy yum yum
I'm going to buy three nail polishes from KIKO to dupe MAC ones (with the price of a MAC nail polish you can take three KIKO's!!)
