That's interesting. I wonder why it says it's a Velvet on Allura's site.MAC's site says Hidden Treasure is a Satin, not Velvet.
Happy hauling everyone, can't wait to read everyones' reviews!

don't worry about mattenes, they're a really nice formula...very lightweight and not too slick or too dry...More than I originally planned but I got:
3 eyeshadow duos - not the one with the perm colors - I already have Retrospeck
Eclectic Edge and Restless lipglass
Fashion Nomad and Camden Chic mattenes
Local Ware f/l
2 green permanent Superslick eyeliners
Style Seeker nail polish
I was on the fence with Eclectic Edge, Fashion Nomad, Camden Chic and the nail polish. I'm loving orange this summer so I want to carry it into fall. I hope the gloss and mattene work. I've never tried Mattenes before so I'm a bit nervous. I hear they have a slight sheen though. Also, I feel like I probably have a dupe for the nail polish but I'm a nail polish junkie as well as makeup junkie. I just bought a stamping kit this week.
I'm so glad to get my hands on Performance Art. I was so bummed it wasn't release here before so I'm eager to get it.
Also, I'm not super excited about any of the upcoming collections. I may get the Marilyn shadows or skip it altogether. I may get some Office Hours stuff but hopefully there aren't many "have to have it now" products and I can take my time with that. I am waiting to hear more about these pressed pigments and the holiday collection. So other than these I'm not excited about upcoming Mac collections. I will be looking into other brands in the meantime.
I know many people aren't big on this collection but these are my colors!- especially for fall. So I'm
no codes for overnight, but WINNER still works till the 19th for regular standard...Thanks for posting, Liesierre! Is there a code for overnight shipping floating around?
I don't know. I've never known MAC to have blushes in the velvet finish so when I saw someone post this I thought hey, maybe MAC has a new blush finish. LOL.That's interesting. I wonder why it says it's a Velvet on Allura's site.

This is the one and only time that I will say this: no, you don't need it!I probably shouldn't be asking this because then I'll be enabled but... if I have Hyperviolet Paint Pot do I need Dark Diversion Fluidline? I more than likely would only use DD the same way I'd use Hyperviolet anyway. Tina has swatches of both items on her blog and they're looking awfully similar imo. http://thefancyface.blogspot.com/2011/09/mac-posh-paradise-collection-paintpots.html
I have both and they're nothing alike. I really prefer Dark Diversion - it's more work friendly.I probably shouldn't be asking this because then I'll be enabled but... if I have Hyperviolet Paint Pot do I need Dark Diversion Fluidline?

I agree.. Dark Diversion is a little more blackened I think, but they are really similar and I think you can get away with using the paint pot instead.
Not sure which worked for me but had WINNER in there because I had some By Request items in my cart, but I removed those and used GLOW... ETA-Standard ShippingThanks for posting, Liesierre! Is there a code for overnight shipping floating around?
I was going to respond to you before and say yes but then when I read your post again I realized you were just going to use it as a base so I say no. If you were going to use it as an eyeliner than I would say get it but as a base I don't know how much of a color difference they would make. So NO don't get it.I probably shouldn't be asking this because then I'll be enabled but... if I have Hyperviolet Paint Pot do I need Dark Diversion Fluidline?

Thank you HoneyMilk.
Thanks Icecaramellatte. I rarely ever used colored liners. I just love black liners.I was going to respond to you before and say yes but then when I read your post again I realized you were just going to use it as a base so I say no.

Nice haul! Excited to hear your opinion of the eyeshadows. Marche aux puces is on my list, and I am still curious about On the Hunt. I want to see them in person or see more swatches to determine if I need one or both. Need Dark Diversion and Local Wares, but I will grab those at the store when I check out the eyeshadows and swatch the blushes. I am excited that this collection is your colors! I wonder about the gloss+mattene combo, too. It seems like putting a gloss over a matte defeats the purpose...but hey, if it looks good, it looks good!More than I originally planned but I got: 3 eyeshadow duos - not the one with the perm colors - I already have Retrospeck Eclectic Edge and Restless lipglass Fashion Nomad and Camden Chic mattenes Local Ware f/l 2 green permanent Superslick eyeliners Style Seeker nail polish I was on the fence with Eclectic Edge, Fashion Nomad, Camden Chic and the nail polish.

My hubby is going to freak if he notices another MAC charge on our debit :shock: my fingers are crossed that just this one more charge slips by him! I might have to grab a gift card at the grocery this week for more of my haul! LOLHubster will be super mad at me for this(paid with his card again lol) but I couldn't resist. And I got overnight shipping! Hidden Treasure Dark Diversion Restless More than I thought I would get but if anything else is getting bought it will be by me, but not until next month lol. Hopefully something will be around by then,
