"Reel Sexy" and "Make Me Gorgeous" for me. If MMG is a dupe for "Toying Around" then fantastic. I can't have enough dupes for that color, lol. Also, after seeing Karen's pics with "Alpha Girl," I think I'm going to get that as well. I worked a ton of OT at my job and I feel like I should be able to get a bit extra out of it.

On the Alpha Girl train! That's my only definite. I was going to pick up Real Read head and Call The Hairdresser but I hardly use my lusters. Too bad they aren't cremesheens. I might just pick up some liners instead.

I like some of these fluidlines....problem is, I don't use gel liners that much. Does anyone use fluidlines as eyeshadow?

I use them both as liners and eye bases.
Could you use it by itself? Or do you feel it needs shadow on top?

Thanks for the help.

This collection is pissing me off. I have a feeling it will be one where it will be in the store forever and every time I walk by bored I'd buy something. I'm already disgusted with myself!

MAC is tomorrow too... I'm not ready about things selling out from this though. You?
all I'm really excited for is the eyeshdows . the lippies being mostly lustres kinda ruined the excitement for me . the only one im remotely interested in is notice me and mayyybe real doll . I do want a BP but I'm not sure which one . Part of me wants both but I know I won't wear them so often that I need 2 new ones you know ? I already have summer opal and coup d chic was a bust so I'm still on the fence . I'm leaning more towards pearl blossom tho

You deserve it then!! I'm likely doing MMG and Alpha Girl. Karen always does this to me too. She makes everything look good usually.

MMG is on my list and Alpha Girl maybe. I think we'd be pals because I'm the same strange way, lol. Yup, blue velvet and pistachio. They're pretty fab. I like the formula, you don't need a hundred swipes to get good color pay off. I don't have the lime for whatever reason. The first two in that swatch are Lavender Jade and Dodgy Girl. Lol, I know that for sure because I put this pic up in the BBW post. I can't remember the others and some were missing because I did a quick swatch (I'll tag you in that post). Lavender, not sure if I've ever worn it tbh...might be good for mixing. I have all in the Macarons but the bright, pink and black because I had them in other brands. I don't have LC D'Lilac but I feel like Lavender is pretty similar, if anything maybe a touch more pastel like you said.
If I have money left after MAC is Beauty I'm buying all of those!!!! Figures I'd go straight to LJ and DG :p I love those. I have all the weird colors in Lime Crime and OCC, but OCC is so thin and Lime Crime can be patchy and drying. I wish someone made lipliners in those colors!!! I know I CAN use eyeliners, but I just feel like eyeliner formulas are meant to dry out to stay put on greasy eyelids while lipliners are creamier and stain more, so I'd rather a true lipliner. I can't wait to buy them!!! OMG it's so hard to wait!

I don't have Earl Grey! WTF! I have Black Sesame, the light grey... Not sure about in store at Ulta, I can't remember. I usually order from the NYX site because they have a $25 free shipping min and there's always a code to get 25% off. Also if I pay with Paypal I can do Pay After Delivery, lol.
Oh hell yeah, 25% off?! Maybe this can't wait.

Yeah the lustres really pissed me off. Then the ONE matte, I don't need another pink. So that leaves the others of which the only one I want is MMG because I have enough coral. Don't let CDC ruin it for you, that collection was all about the glitter. I think you can work Pearl Blossom. I want Alpha Girl. Did you see Karen's reviews?

Trying hard to skip this entirely but I keep coming back to Real Redhead and Call the Hairdresser... Anyone able to guess how close Real Redhead might be to Patisserie? It's one of the few lusters that I really do use a lot, but I don't want to have to stalk this if I don't have to!

I usually go to Karen for swatches/reviews first because we're both nc42 and she is rocking pearl blossom. I do want AG as well bc I know I'll have major skippers remorse lol . Honestly I'll probably end up getting both lol . I'm the worst

OMG @montREALady you are my favorite person ever! I just ordered Key Lime, Blue Velvet, Lavender, Citron, Earl Grey AND Pistachio and it only cost me $27 total, shipping was free. And I found this site with comparison swatches http://www.shaaanxoblogs.com/2014/07/nyx-macaron-lipstick-swatches.html and seriously, NONE of them are dupes with Lime Crime. All the NYX and all the Lime Crime are totally unique so it's totally okay for me to have them all! And thanks to awesome coupon codes and non-ridiculous prices to begin with, I should still have enough money for the Mac is Beauty haul :D I'm so happy right now. Now i just need my baby blue eyeshadow and some pastel lip liners and I can be happy never shopping again, right?

Pearl Blossom
Well I can't read lol! So it's "Pearl Blossom" she's wearing. I might pick that one up then..not sure. I'm inclined to think that "Alpha Girl" would suit me better but I'm always attracted to silver shimmer for some odd reason lolol.

You know what? Cancel the baby blue eyeshadow. I already know it would look awful with my eye color. I need to wear my corals with aqua or teal. My blues need green or it just won't work. I need to stop shopping like a MUA and start shopping like I'm going to be doing MY makeup.

I do! They're miiiles away from each other. Cricket has absolutely no red in it, and it's nowhere near as dark as Looking Good.

Cricket is the top swatch on the left :nods: (Apologies if it's huge, I'm on mobile)
Thank you!!! :bouquet: Ok so Cricket is off the list...I just need Looking Good!
