I got my Dame Edna today!!

And I love the lippies!! I got Possum Nose Pink

, Hot Frost, Gladiola and Kangarouge.

And... I love the Highlight Powder!! It looks gorgeous over a blush!

Such a pretty sheen.

Wisteria Trio is the nicer Trio IMO.

Awesome collection!! The stickers aren't that pretty but not as worse as the Fafi ones.

But they are gorgeous over a blush

But you won't regret Possum Nose Pink and Mont Black

 

[coachkitten]

I am sure I won't!

I think that these stickers, in a way, are worse than the Fafi ones. Sure, the glasses are prettier, but at least the Fafi ones all stayed on. At least, all of mine are still on (and I'm hardly a gentle girl) - none of this coming off as you take them out of the box deal.

Thank you!

Waiting has been worth again

I just wish MAC would NOT release crappy or niche items unless it's MAC-store or Pro. These things are too hard to use for the average customer, and ME the MAC artist is expected to sell it to both drag queens and soccer moms. Ugh!!

It's not mean in the slightest. I absolutely agree with you too, a high light powder should reflect light. I think these powders are ghastly, and would not purchase them myself for every day use.
I thought it necessary to clear up the high light thing since so many people expected beautiful powders but instead they came up with talc in a compact. Personally I loved the collection, but the powders are crap for daily use.

P.S.: Soccer moms

I purchased the Kanga Rouge and Hot Frost today and last time I purchased it, my card was declined. So, I thought about getting the beauty powder so I skipped it. I'm now done purchasing MAC for now... or am I? lol I may end up getting something else on there or off of Ebay.

Oh yes we are!!! Lips, eyes...uh huh

I love, love, love Possum Nose...& gosh what a funny name. It is such a gorgeous color.

Also, I got to go to Nordies today (yay!) Now I'm really really glad that I ordered Coral Polyp & Gladiola after seeing them in person!!! They're both Gorgeous. And yes, they sheer out beautifully too.

I'm sooooo glad you love that color

OK, the board is freakin out tonight trying to load & post

So, I tried to multi-quote all you crazies that just got or want to get Possum Nose

& its not working - you have no quote buttons as of now.

It is so so so pretty! Especially if you like that pretty pink coral in the summer. Its fabulous dahlings

The board is definitely freaking out tonight. And has been ever since the layout change...

I didn't swatch Possum Nose pink, wasn't going to consider it, but there goes Elegant-One, being a rather convincing enabler!

I'll see if it's still around when I get my BBR...

Same here!! The "current" collection over here? Cool Heat!! Cool freakin Heat!!

The board has gone crazy and not being able to login here drives me crazy. I saw this collection yesterday and have swatches of the lippies and varnishes which I will upload when the site is up.

My counter has the display out but no stocks yet, again! The other MAC counter across the street has stocks. I haven't buy any yet. I tried Kanga Rouge, Coral Polyp and Splendid on my lips. Kanga Rouge and Coral Polyp are gorgeous, although drying for my lips. Coral Polyp sheer out nicely, like what elegant-one said. Splendid is creamy and opaque, but too pale on me. Posum Nose Pink is sheer but with lots of glitters, and I may buy this because it has so much love here.

Possum Nose is really pretty!
