How are you liking your Divergent Collection? I hope you are loving it. You are one of the very few lucky people to own that kit!
I love it! I won't lie, I paid 100$ for it on ebay. I never do that, but Divergent was my absolute favorite book. I'm an author, too, so I know how hard it is to write something that inspires people. My book was a labor of love and when it was finally published, I wish I could have the success Veronica Roth had. The movie was an excellent adaptation. I just had to have the palette and it was sold out.

Well, then, if you had too pay $100.00 to get your hands on it, then really enjoy the heck out of it!!! Congratulations on your book being published. What is your book about?

It is a romantic suspense.

If you want, I can post a link to it so you can read the description. Is that allowed? Not wanting to shamelessly promote, just answer the question.

I think it would be okay. You can always PM me with the link, if you would like. ;) Gotta run for now. I am going to go see the new Captain America movie right now. :wavey:

Glad I skipped Hoop. It's a beautiful color and miss tania you look awesome! But don't think it would work well on me.

Thanks Ladies.

More swatches- clearer ones- I discovered better lighting in another bathroom vs my en suite's.







Hoop rocks- I want more- but I must think it over for a few hours- this shade is very pretty, it's the muted rosey tinge that makes it special.
GORGEOUS! That looks so beautiful on you! I really like it with your darker hair and beautiful pale complexion! Absolutely LOVE! You got two right

?? In all honesty, I'm a bit crushed that it isn't a matte because I was hoping it would be great as a winter neutral, and I love mattes in the winter. That said, a little bit of shine isn't a bad thing! And it does look stunning!

My Hoop just arrived and it's a beautiful pink color! The only issue I have is that it's listed under Matte finish on the Mac website (the canadian one anyway) and it's a Satin. I was really hoping for a nice pink Matte shade so I feel like I've been tricked. I still like it and will wear it but I wanted it to be Matte. During the voting wasn't it listed as a Matte? Should I call and complain about it? I'm a bit torn right now.

Ohh I ordered Glam on the day it launched and everything was fine and I just looked at my order and it says cancelled :( Anyone else had this? (UK site)

edit: Now it says Glam is out of stock, do they ever get any more in stock for these by request collections?

Ok, here we go!

L- R - Please ME, Betty Bright, Hoop (with Please Me directly below) and Pink Poodle.







Verdict - I like it - I'm wearing it around the house atm and will decide if I want more- I find it is not too bright or crazy but still very pretty.

I have alot of other MAC lipsticks and I feel this shade is unique, but it reminds me abit of Please Me and Haute Altitude. This is not an in your face shade, it would be great for work/day time and it would be nice with a variety of eyeshadows.

Love the Satin finish - the shine looks quite pretty.

Same here and I bought 4! (under the assumption that it was matte!). Yes, it was definitely listed as a matte during the voting and the bloggers that were sent samples at that time, also listed it as a matte. If you feel like calling and complaining, you should. I'm not sure what they will say, but it's definitely deceptive!

Well, even though no one responded to my post about coming back here after being gone for a year...

...it's black box day!

And while I'm waiting for it, I can play with my Divergent Collector's edition makeup kit that just arrived:)

Here you go! Direct sunlight (as much as I get in Iowa! Note that it snowed today...) for us palies. I actually like all the colors. Glam is my new HG red. Hoop is nice, but settles a little into my lip lines. Haven't tried on the glosses yet, just swatched them.
