I got my shipping notice. BB, DLG, RR, and PP are miiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnneeeeeee!!!!!






Okay, carryon.
That's the same order I made, plus a little YoTS for good measure. UPS shows it arrived in Chicago but not that it's out for delivery so I'm thinking my goodies will be delivered Monday.

I just posted a bunch of swatches (lip swatches, layered lip swatches, skin swatches) of the Feelin So Good lipglass here:

If any nc35 ladies get cream soda or prom princess blush, I'd love to know what you think of them! I'm not getting them just yet because I'm afraid PP might be too cool and cream soda might not show!
I'm nc30 and I was totally thinking that cream soda would look ashy/weird on me but the girl at the MAC counter tried it on me and I LOVE it. I even ordered a backup. I hope that helps. I didn't try prom princess but I think it'll look nice :)

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.
Lol I've been taking that lately and it seems to be working for me..... No more I NEED urges, I can cope w the I can live WITH OUT IT

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.
What vanity did you get? I was gonna do the besta burs (cuz it comes in black), but it's $$$. Then i thought about the malm, but it only comes in white :( so I've decided on the micke , comes in black with white drawers, and very inexpensive!). That leaves me with extra money to buy 2 alexes, one for my makeup (stored under the micke) and one for my polish (stored next to).

They seem like great colors I can't wait to play. Shipping to APO/FPO with USPS takes 7-10 days or more so it will be awhile for me. UPS doesn't deliver on Saturdays? Please post pics if you can, the more pics the better!

re: Micke - I don't know which models they currently have but go for one of the bigger ones (if not the biggest one). I have a small, DCd model and it's waaaaay too cramped. Mine looks like this (yay for eBay pics lol):

I currently have my Alex on the left and one of my Helmers on the right. It looks a bit wonky but it'll have to do until I get another Alex (and possibly another vanity).

I ended up getting the micke as well. Because I saved so much on the desk I was able to get a shelf/book case unit that I use for my other larger products.

My order still says pending, should I be worried or am I just paranoid? >.<"
My order is still pending too. I ordered it as soon as it launched online. I placed a second order 10 minutes later for viva glam nicki 2, and I got a shipping notice a few hours ago for that order. I'm starting to get worried too.

[URL="http://www.specktra.net/images/e/ea/eadb766e_image.jpeg"] [/URL][/quote] Love it! I agree that the Alex is a lot sturdier than the helmers too imo. I have a few drawers that are filled with heavy nail polishes and candles and they are very sturdy even when pull almost all the way out.

Here's my setup with the Alex units.

They actually still have that one! Not sure if it comes with the hutch part still, but it's there! I'm going for the bigger one. It's only $20 more than the one the size of yours, so why not go bigger!? Yours is the size of my current vanity (only 30" wide), which works fine for me. But more space is always a good thing. Plus i like that the bigger one has two drawers. I'll be able to store everything that on top of my current vanity in the drawers. And im gonna order a custom glass top from a local glass store, just like the malm has (it'll make things easier to clean. I'm so excited too cuz i found out the storage bins i want from the container store (closest one is 90 mins away, but they don't have em in store. I'd have to order online and pay shipping) to put in all the drawers are carried at bed bath & beyond, and we have one in town!!! AND they'll price match too (they're cheaper at the container store). I'm so stoked!!!
Anyone have thoughts on this? Pretty please?
If anything, your pink undertones will make it more corally, and less orangey.
