lol I called it earlier I thought "Rectrospeck" was a little too gold...I was like dang it look so much different on lighter skin but its a totally different color. I really wanted two day shipping so I got: Worldly Wealth, SC blushes and Fun Finds and Delectable Mattene.

At this point I'm pretty sure ill pick up Local Wared and may back up Dark Diversion However I'm on the fence about On the Hunt. I feel the colors are the most interesting and that I might be able to create a great look with them, but I'm worked about if the pink/red tone will make my eyes look irritated or if it will draw excess attention to the red in my cheeks

It seems that Christine won't be posting reviews for the mattenes and lipglasses until tomorrow, which saddens me. *le sigh*

I was hoping to see T's Mattene swatches before the NOMAD code expired, but since she didn't, I just bought Camden Chic anyways.

do you have any pics of yourself wearing saigon summer? i'd love to see how it looks on nc44 if you don't mind posting it...it's okay if you don't want to....i guess i can always try i ton in store next time! the other day the sales people seemed more into chatting with each other than helping me out with stuff....can't blame them cuz i was there pretty late in the evening!
I like the anonymity of the internet so will just lip pics do? If so, maybe tomorrow if I get a chance.

Played a bit. I really like the Fashion Nomad but boy is it orange. Really bright color for me. But I love it dabbed on. Very pretty color. Love Eclectic Edge l/g. Love Restless but that was a no brainer. I like on the Hunt as well. It is similar to Color Me Bubbles but I'm still glad I bought it. It may be a touch cooler though. I like the two shades together. But I need another contour shade. I don't know if a black or a brown would do. Maybe something in between. I've had my eye on Legendary Black. Maybe that one would work. Any other ideas?

Oh and Wordly Wealth and Supercontinental both looked fine on me. I don't know if I really need Supercontinental. I have a ton of these peachy corals. Worldly Wealth has a really pretty sheen to it. Glad I bought this one. I was afraid it would be too much like Get Away Bronze but I think Get Away Bronze is a more rosy than Worldly Wealth. I didn't look anything like Christine from Temptalia's full face pics on me. It looked very golden bronze on Christine. I didn't think it had that strong of a gold color on me. It definitely was not reminiscent of Glorify on me. But looking at Christine's pics, she did look like she had Glorify on her face. Glorify looks very golden on me and super sparkly. I guess skin color and tone account for a lot.

BTW - OT but I can not stop looking at the gloss Christine is wearing in some of the pics. BB Pink Tulle. I must have this. It looks gorgeous on her.

Fashion Nomad is so pretty, but its so bright I knew I wouldn't wear it.

Does anyone have any thoughts about how Camden Chic compares to Dubonnet? They look a bit similar color wise from swatches, but CC looks, idk, more dense? I can't decide if CC is really all that unique.

Same here and I'm NW20. It's so different from Glorify, both in texture and color.

How red On the Hunt will look might depend on your skin tone around your eyes. On me, Raving Mad looks like a soft terra cotta, rather than really red red. Star Myth is sort of a brick pink. They both really bring out the green in my eyes while still looking quite subtle and natural. I'm NC15, leaning more warm than just neutral, without particularly red cheeks, with a little darker skin color around my lids.

I bought Raving Mad last year. It's great in combination with darker colors such as Carbonized. I also combined it with a lighter grey, such as Swell Baby. It is a very pretty color for the Fall; and while it leans warm, it's neutral enough for NW complexions.

I'm a bit lighter than T, I think she's NC30 and I'm about NC25 now, so it'll pretty much look the same on me. And it really looks like she has Glorify on her face without the individual sparkles.. I still want it but I need to talk myself out of buying it! But I decided I want Local Wares. So my list is: Hidden Treasure Supercontinental Local Wares Restless (maybe)

I am trying to only buy Hidden Treasure and Local Wares! I normally go and pick my stuff up from MAC, but I may have to order online to resist temptation!

I wanted to skip this collection... but Supercontinental is really a "cute" coral *__* I must think about it ...
I'm the same. I was going to skip this collection, but Supercontinental is definitely on my list. Might also get Styleseeker, and a couple of glosses and/or lipsticks too.

Just ordered Hidden Treasure and Dark Diversion (thanks, icecaramellatte!). That brings my haul so far to Camden Chic, Hidden Treasure, Restless, Dark Diversion. I wanted to order an eye duo, but feel that I need to swatch these in person. So mad that my MAC SA didn't call on the 13th like he said he would. Makes me feel like I want to go in the store when he is working and buy the entire collection from a different SA. He also said he would call early for Marilyn collection! I'm not going to hold mt breath! Oh, well! So far there are four less items from SS I won't be buying from him anyway!
