I ordered Shimmermint, Hold that Pose, and Snow Season. I was surprised it was up this morning and glad that items were still in stock. I'm sure we'll all get the shipping code in a couple days now that we've ordered.

For the record, last month I placed 3 orders in one day-- two were 2 day shipping and one was regular and they all arrived on the same day... hth.

Overnight shipping just means that it is guaranteed that the order is processed on the same day if it is placed before 3pm.

With any other shipping option, it is certainly possible that it is also processed on the same day (especially if there are not a lot of orders coming in), so it might ship at the same time as overnight. The difference is that overnight and/or second day guarantees faster processing.

I know. I'm just saying that some might get lucky and get their orders sooner rather than later.
I guess for me, I make online orders so that I can get them Wednesday or Thursday w/o having to go to a mall. Now, if they take much longer than that I won't bother and just go into a store. I'm impatient :)

Just got off the phone with my local counter and got their last Snowglobe and How Beautiful on hold! So I am not ordering online. I might get the duo fiber brush set.

Before I checked out GLITTER worked but it's not express :(

Edit: Just found some awesome swatches here! http://beautyicon.pl/kosmetyki,article,mac-glitter--ice-prezentacja-kosmetykow--swatch,r.html

I kind of regret not getting Smooth Manoevure. And I hope they repromote Blue Spruce soon!

I sort of had the same reaction to a few of the colours in the eye bags (that doesn't sound nice at all). There were individual shadows that I wanted, but I don't like the Technokohl formula and I don't particularly care about the mascara. So it's kind of a high price to pay if I only really want one of the shadows...

What gorgeous swatches RayannaBanana!!! Thank you for the website. I just placed my order. I had to cut it down a great deal because I want to buy from Gareth Pugh, Daphne Guinness and Iris Apfel's collections which are all coming up.

I ordered: Sultry eyeshadow, Eloquent Air & Soft Sable lipstick. I wasn't even planning on getting Soft Sable until I saw the swatch of it. Beautiful!

Swatches of the eyeshadows




TOP ROW: Winterized, Frozen blue, shimmer mint, aqua from surf the ocean pigment stack (very different)
LOW: mineral mode (semi precious), Snow season, fresh ice, hold that pose (my veining made it look very much like frozen blue)




SNOW GLOBE is extremely subtle and it makes me think of it as a soft sable (the lippie)'s BP version. It's like the perfect every day highlight, nothing really noticeable. I'm more into the drag queen kinda highlight but.... I'll keep it just so I can have the packaging.

SOFT SABLE: I'm impressed when i layered it over lipsticks... it makes them frost without the overly silver/cheap frost color that ELOQUENT AIR gives. I really dont think I like the second very much.... I might return it or swap it.

DOUBLE SPIN: lighter than fleshpot but its the perfect pinky nude for the pale gyals.... if you are not pale, please do skip....unless you are going for a dead person look. It is not one of those nudes that "you can make it work" for your skin tone. It's a no no for somebody over NC/NW25. The finish is awesome and that's why it makes it the perfect nude for somebody light.

I got Soft Sable and Whirls & Twirls lipsticks. Kinda having a bit of buyers remorse even though it's what I've set my mind on weeks ago. I think it'll change when I get my package on wednesday...hopefully anyway.

I wanted the Coral Lipglass globe set but I didn't see it on the site. Does anyone know what's up with that?

SG is an awesome all-over glow powder. I would not have bought it for highlighting only (how many highlighter does one need anyway?!). It is finely milled, non-glittery, but gives my skin a subtle sheen w/o looking greasy. I use it all-over, for the C around the eyes, on the cupid's bow, and as a cheek highlight over Seaside CCB.

I also love love love HB as a wintery blush, especially in combination with SG. Although HB just looks slightly darker in the pan (in comparison to SG), it swatches very differently. It's more rich with an earthy undertone that should work on a wide range of complexions (either as a blush or as a highlighter on darker skintones).

I would not recommend piling up this products on your face. A little goes a long way (well, a little bit more than a little

), as the product comes to life when the light hits it. It's a very understated effect that will go very well with strong eyes and/or lips.

I so debating everything that by the time I place my order, they will be out. Snowglobe would be nice, but I just bought several powders/highlighters from Chanel, so how many do I really need? I feel the same about the mineralized shadows. They look so pretty in the packaging, but I've hardly used the ones from the last mineralized collection. I will be doing a winter fairy face and thought a lot of these would be very effective for that look..the colours are right. But they are not showing up enough on paler skin, like mine. I need something super glittery and seeing the swatches right next to a pigment tells me to just use pigments for the look. Sigh....this is getting tricky. These are not cheap and I have so much already. Now if the packaging was white with pretty silver glittery snowflakes all over it, I would be going nutty!

Did the Dazzlespheres not come out yet? I have my heart set on the Pink Ornament one. Anyone know when the release for that is?

Am I gonna receive a few lashings with a wet noodle for saying that I am skipping this collection? Love what I'm seeing from the posted pics but nothing is really grabbing hold of me without letting go. Plus, the holiday collections usually hit the CCO right after the New Year so I can wait. That'll give me time to do other things I have planned with my $ and save for a CCO trip :)
