I actually quite like the brushes. Hahaha. Maybe because I only paid $35 for them.

And I LOVE the Smokey Eyes palette!
SO easy to use! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the frosty light gray color!

I forgot 2005 was the oriental packaging ... I didn't like that one.

I was thinking about this clutch, I can't remember what year it was from, but it's nice enough to use as an evening bag. Does anyone remember where this was from?

It's a poor shot, I took it at night with a flash:

I ordered Classic Eyes Saturday and patiently waiting for my little black box. I'm so excited because this is my first haul in over a month.

I missed my little black boxes cluttering up my floor.

Lil walleti isn't actually woohooing but they are too gorgeous to resist! I had to have at least one palette and I didn't like lippies in palettes so the Cool Eye was so sold.

Lip palettes are oogy.

I found Smokey Eyes boring and Classic Eyes bleh.

I have the BB Pink Raspberry and Mauve Face Palettes here and I barely use the lippies in the pans.

I've chosen the cold one because I want to buy Satin Taupe and Carbon or Black Tied refills later anyhow and except the green/greenish colours I already have similar ones so no to warm eyes, too.
The classic palette doesn't scream buy me, too. Its more like a... "buy a blue refill e/s later and skip me" whispering.

Re: MAC-Adoring Carmine/Passionately Red/Passions of Red/Little Darling Discussion

I am finally home!!

I got

Smokey eyes palette
Cool eyes palette
Face Brush Set
Rose Lip Bag

The quality of the brushes is ok. I can live with it

My counter didn't get the red lip bag, maybe I can still order it online later.

I love the eye palettes!! The packaging is gorgeous!!

I am so glad I finally have my holiday items!!

No I can't wait to try them all. But not today and not tomorrow - I guess I can enjoy them after my exam in 14 days

I bought the brush set b/c I really like the red handles and the bags!

I will try the brushes the next days and tell you how I like them. The testers weren't that worse though

I ordered the Eye brush set and a shadestick. With the 10% coupon but with cash on delivery I still saved 3,40 EUR.

Enjoy your stuff, of course after a successful exam

I was looking at the red lip bag today (wanted a red non-frost lipstick). Adore It is adorable, but Racy is quite dark and reminds me of SciFi-Delity.
And for one lipstick it is not worth it.

I just tested my 187 SE from the face set!

Yes, at 9 PM. And no, I won't still go out tonight.

My 187 SE is so soft! Now I am really surprised! Glad I got the set

Re: MAC-Adoring Carmine/Passionately Red/Passions of Red/Little Darling Discussion

Still no email from douglas. I cancelled the order twice to see if I get a email for that but no.

Well my last order is just the eye brush set. I decided to save some money.

Ah two emails but still no email about the cancelling.
