It's Double Points at Nordies! I'm tempted to place another order. Do I need Nude on Board if I already ordered Sun Dipped? Do I need Caliente? Soft Serenade? I hate skipper's remorse. I guess if I end up not liking them, I can always give them to someone else who might enjoy them. I was going to wait until Nordies gives me my $20 Notes back for cancelling an entire order last week. Not sure how long that usually takes. Don't wanna miss out! Hmmm. Anyone wanna enable me? LOL yes yes and I am not sure, I think SS fills into the lip lines too much, but maybe I just need fatter lips!
Thanks for your input, martiangurll! I went ahead and ordered Caliente, Soft Serenade, and Nude on Board. Pretty Honeybee just made Caliente + SS look so good together!

Im trying to cut down my list. Do i need sun dipped?(NW15/20) I wear bronzer in the summer but i've been mixing refined golden and nude on board (hey sailor) recently and this should last me till next summer. I've also been using double def, very lightly. I love the packaging but im trying to be good, and if i get sun dipped i'll never finish my other bronzers. If it really is all that, i will get it. Any advice?

I would skip. It's so easy to buy very similar products and then leave the ones we already have to collect dust. I've certainly been guilty of that more than once and I'm trying not to do it anymore. I can't speak for you, but I get annoyed at myself when I buy something and realize that it was all buy a dupe for something else I have. I'm feeling that way about my gazillion blush now; I apply with a light hand and subtle differences just don't show as much as I usually convince myself they will.

u're making me want nude on board!
Try it! I don't have any MAC bronzers, so I decided to order both Sun Dipped and Nude on Board from this collection. (I skipped Hey Sailor! last year.) The reviews have been really good, plus the packaging looks perfect... I can't wait to try them!

Thanx you for your input. I am gonna skip it, and if it comes around next year and i actually need a bronzer, i'll pick it up then. I need to start finishing some products before i buy new, or my older products just sit there and never get finished.

NO!! u dnt need both. i went in with the intentions on gettin SD but it was too light for my complexion n went with NOB!! i'd totally get caliente over SS!!

ok yall...so i went to nordies to get my stuff. funny people still thinkin the coll drops tomorrow cuz it was nice n quiet in there today!! maybe not all the counters dropped em early today
shrugs.gif
but anyhoo...this is why i like to wait til shyt drops at the counter to swatch shyt for myself. i had every intention to get FMP but i swatched it wit UTA and umm yea...they dmn near like twinsies soooo i skipped it. i got:

Caliente and Underdressed-honestly i dnt think u need BOTH but i didnt want skippers remorse n they kinda go hand in hand. if u want to be more bold then caliente is IT but if u want a softer subtle lip underdressed is it. i plan on usin UD w/a plum liner. its soooo gorgeous in person its ridick!!

RFL-a muuuust for sure!

NOB-this is my first official mac bronzer n really i just wanted it for the compact but it feel so good on the face n i noticed the subtle glow!

gold elixir-thank GAWD when i combo'd this w/NOB i didnt look like tinkerbell wiped her azz on my face!!

liquid passion-i've been lookin for the perfect nude gloss n these arent as tacky as they normally are. i wanna pair it w/peachstock or honey love!!

BMS-i really did NOT want to like this phkn $44 quad and was hopin i had somethin similar in my stash but ummm i dnt. its soooo gorgeous and pics do this thing NO JUSTICE!! if nothing else this quad is another must have. not even the green color but the light colors are to die for too.

my mua tried to get me into the pencils which...dnt get me wrong are gooorgeous!! the brown one reminds me of nars mekong but im just not a shade stick kinda gal. im REALLY happy w/my purchases and these are perfect for the summer bronze look!! this is the first time in a loooong time i can actually say MAC did a good job! nooooow whats next

Went to my local MAC today and they only had Caliente in stock for the lipsticks and very few lipglasses available. I had a couple of FMP, Altered Beige and some lipglasses held in the morning but I released them back into the wild. FMP just wasn't grabbing me and I already have Altered Beige, it would have been my backup. Sheer Seduction on the other hand is gorgeous! Too bad it wasn't in stock, but fortunately ebates and Nordstrom saved me from the skipper's remorse

Shout out to Soft Serenade because I thought it would be too similar to Impossibly Sweet from Glamour Daze, but it's like Impossibly Sweet's sister with similar shimmer but a gorgeous neutral pink base. It's to die for!

Hmm. I never thought to try this one. Sundipped looked so bad on me I didn't bother with anything else.

I've been thinking I want to try Peachstock. I've seen a few looks with people with a similar skin tone as me wearing it.
