I only got and wanted the Ripe For Love blush. I got it in the mail today. I just went in the store out of curiosity to see how some things looked in person. Likely wasn't going to buy anything. That's why it wasn't all that important that I go to the other MAC at Dillard's because I knew I didn't really want anything. I hadn't planned on getting RFL but I didn't have any blushes in that shade range so I went for it. Oh and the 2 quads were on the display too. I forgot about those.
Wow, that's some self-control.
I thought the lipsticks and glosses were mostly awesome this time around, and I usually am not too into the non-Mineralize summer collection.
I went to town on this collection more than I would have ever expected:
Caliente, Sheer Seduction, Feel My Pulse (but I love the Dazzle finish and haven't bought most of the purply lipsticks this year)
Rhythm, Underdressed and Soft Serenade x 2 (I've been waiting for more of this type of sparkly gloss since To the Beach)
Both blushes (and I thought I wasn't going to get either - they're colors we've seen from MAC before, but seriously the nicest versions of them in a long time)
Both polishes (too damn cute to resist and will work well into fall and holiday)
Palest and darkest eye pencil (they really do not budge at all - hope they offer some colored ones in the future)
Temperature Rising quad (this was another one that I wouldn't have thought to buy, but the colors are absolutely perfect with the deeper skin tone around my eyes)
Golden Elixir (I was on the fence at first, but I really am enjoying it added to moisturizer on my shoulders and arms and am just going to push myself to use it on my face until it's a natural part of my routine)
PHEW!!! Fortunately I'm not buying any RiRi until I can see it in person and most of this year's Mineralize is not grabbing me, for a change.
