Yes thank you! I have yet to place my first order, so i don't have my card yet. I'll just note that in my email. So basically you just list everything you want in the email, kinda like everyone lists their wishlists on here? Sweet! Now I'm gonna order tons of stuff instead of waiting til the makeup show! That table is always crazy packed at the show! Thanks so much doll! :winkiss: Yes exactly just your wish list. I don't recall the tax but shipping was free when ordering $75+. Sorry it took so long to respond ;)

Not sure if this has been posted yet but Beautezine has put up a review of the Strobe Liquid http://www.beautezine.com/mac-summer-2013-strobe-liquid-in-golden-elixir-review-photos-swatches/
Yes. That's most likely the only product I buy from this collection.
I was very tempted by the WiR, but every other colour from that quad is dupeable from my own collection and now that I've been introduced to Club

, well, it seems like a better buy for me.

And the fatties- the colours are just right, but until I swatch them myself, I can't decide. I notice they get very mixed reviews so they're clearly a product that depends on your skin type and makeup technique to get the value of them.

I don't think I'll be able to decide until I see the products in person. almost everything on my list is still just a maybe at this point. but maybe I'm just trying to avoid reality here. I just had to get a new car so..... now I can't buy as much makeup or nail polish anymore!! sobs!!

On me Caliente looks like a bronzy-berryviolet.
I really like it.
A few years ago there was a L'oreal lipstick line called Shine Delicie (if I remember correctly) and I had a violet shade from that line which i really liked. Caliente is really similar to that, just with more beautiful glitter colors. (Also I am really picky about sratchy glitters in my lipglosses, but the glitter in Caliente doesn't bother me at all, I don't feel it scratchy.

I bought a lipstick from Lancome a few years ago called "red on fire". I'm not sure if it is still sold but I used that tube up and bought a second one. In my mind that's a better, redder version of Caliente. I'm not sad about skipping Caliente anyways...

I swatched everything this morning and only got BMS. I love it though! All 3 girls at the counter were wearing it :D

Now that you mention it I also have a glittery Lancome lippie. I think it was called plum something. Or prune something. Will check when I get home.
Actually, I also have a really old Dior Addict that is very similar to said Lancome

. It's called Shiniest Chestnut.

Judging by swatches Caliente is darker than both of them so it's still on my list.

I had that plum/ burgundy ish one too I think, but I sold it to a friend. I also have one with glitters that is called Pink Hysteria. Quite a fitting name. I need to whip that baby out come to think of it...

I was stalking for HOURS today, almost didn't sleep at all last night and feel like I got run over by a bus. Only to find out that it probably won't lauch today online. *Maybe* tomorrow or *might* be even later. I don't know if I can pull off another stalking session like that tomorrow.

And Douglas will have only very limited stock. Great. It's not on the MAC site either, tech issues or something... We only got Baking Beauties online today and the PMs sold out in I believe less than 2 hours, I saw Mooncake is already gone too, I haven't even looked at the rest. Oh, and Art of The Eye launched as well, but exclusively on one department store site and: there's no Parrot! Glad I didn't want it anyway.
That's enough MAC drama for one day for me. At least my Shiseido blush bargain from evilBay arrived today to cheer me up.

I was at the counter today and bought Eclair - after one hour the brush and LW were already sold out.

And even though I had asked twice last week there was no TR today - but apparently tomorrow. Bah.

Hmm... still not sure if I'm skipping the Powerchromes. I know everyone's saying they're super expensive, but the only other cream shadows I use besides Paint Pots are the Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks, and they're $24 for 0.05 oz. So... I paid more money for a little less product than the MAC ones. That being said, they're twist-ups so you don't lose product from sharpening, and I did get them during that 12 Days of Christmas deal when it was buy two get one free.

I fully intend to get more of the Caviar Sticks down the line (and if they do that deal again, oh boy will it get crazy over here), so I should just skip these, right? Someone enable my decision LOL



I have decided not to skip the fat pencils. First of all, they are kinda cute. 2nd and 3rd of all, its a new product and the colors are gorgeous. As liners, I think they would be a big fail, but they sound like a great creamy product in pencil form that doesn't budge. Upgrade from the shade sticks which I love in theory but tend to get dry and are difficult to use IMHO. The brown one looks similar to Dirty or French Quarter shadesticks which I loved, the black like nothing else I have seen in cream e/s form, and the gold is gorgeous. I liked the look Muse did with it. I may skip the coppery one, since I have tons of products similar to that, but the others I will get. Making a note to myself to check out LM Caviar sticks since I love her products but rarely get them, due to my indentured servitude to MAC.
