Can anyone compare Prom Princess to Illamasqua powder blush in Thrust? I have that one and like it a lot, and the PP swatches are calling out to me, but I just don't know if they're different enough.

I'm NW20, for what it's worth.

(TIA if anyone can help!)

The drug is widely available. It's called I'm Going Broke Buying Too Much Makeup. It controls my spending for me so I don't even have to think about it. There are side effects, though. Lesser BU purchases; constantly evaluating your stash to see if you really need *that* color or finish; uncontrolled, spontaneous fits of needing more money. You should consult your wallet for further information.

yay just got my order today.

Betty Bright is a bit more pale looking then I thought it would be on me ( I have very pigmented lips so I think that's why it looks odd to me) but it's a wonderful color still and I tried putting different lip liner under it to darken the color and it looks awesome ^_^ I was also very worried it would look orange on me like most corals but it does lean abit more pink then normal corals I've seen.

Ronnie Red is very similar to Charmed I'm Sure but does have a slight pinker tone to it where Charmed I'm Sure is a true red. Daddy's Little Girl is a lot more purple then I thought which I'm happy about because it's not like any of the other bright pinks I have ^_^

Flatter Me is wonderful I was very worried that on my skin tone (I have not been matched yet by Mac but I'm going to assume I'm a N something 15 or less) I was worried it was going to be a bit too orange for me but it's not and will make for a great blush (since it might be too dark for all over) it does look a bit like Mighty Aphrodite from the Wonder Woman collection mixed together but Flatter Me is not as shimmery and is a bit less pink.

And OMG the packaging is even cuter in person. I am not a huge Archie fan but know the popularity of it but the cute hearts and how the girls look sold it for me haha

Pigments are a breeze to use. You use em just like a regular shadow. There's absolutely no difference in the application process between the two.
I was planning on purchasing a second Helmer but now I think I might need the Alex. Does anyone know if the Alex drawers are sturdier? The Helmer drawers get so heavy with nail polish.

I'm actually going to Ikea this weekend. In my opinion the Alex is sturdier. That was my debate at first. After going to Ikea and buying my vanity last weekend, the Alex is my choice.

My order still says pending, should I be worried or am I just paranoid? >.<"
When did you order?

I have 3 orders - 2 still pending and one shipped. All of them were placed the same day with overnight shipping, which really won't be overnight shipping now since the weekend is here. :(

I really wish MAC would make more lipsticks and little to none of the accessories and pins. The accessories are generally a bit cheap and tacky and I would much rather have the lipstick than a pin. What am I going to do with a pin?
Hahaha. I thought the same. Efff the pin.
