The counter tester's Wisteria Trio had a better color payoff, but I heard one youtube reviewer say that the textures varied from trio to trio, so what you get may actually be different from the tester that you swatched.

The penultimate liner is perm, no?
yes.gif


I did not look at the Wisteria Trio because I bought the Heatherette Trio last year and the colours are to close for me to get both.

But with the good/bad colour payoff I am not taking any chances anyways.

Yes, the liner is perm, but I am actually really looking forward to this one

I hope it is half as good as I imagine it.

Gladiola does not look the least bit purple on me. Awesome, body chemistry, way to rock the makeup. Part of the thing you have to remember about testers is that they get really oily from people's fingers mauling them all the time, and this alters the texture of the shadows.

From the looks of the shadows not a lot of people swatched them, they looked very new. And they were chalky no colour and not sweat-hardend with no payoff (I of you know what I mean

).
Gladiola looks great, but I am afraid of an colour like this. Makes me look sick.
I envy all of you Gladiola-wearers!

The MA told me today that collections like this aren't meant for the masses only for true collectors like us. She said they expected it sell out because it is so small and the packaging, even if the product is crappy. But she also said that it mostly for the wild types and people who know how to work with different textures (like these chalky trios) who want it for their personal collection (mua, that is). I have never heard that before.

Ok so I've just ordered the Wisteria trio on Ebay from one of the trusted US sellers, bloody Australia we're so far behind this line doesn't come out here until Monday! Then they'll be charging $68 for the e/s and then $41 for the lippies

so I managed to get it slightly cheaper even with shipping.

I'll head over to MAC on Monday to try out the other items, I'm keen on Kanga Rouge but I'm serioulsy a lip coulour virgin! I barely wear any colour on my lips because I'm worried I look cr*p or I raided my mothers 80's collection. Then with being NC20 with blonde hair I'm fairly pale so it's really easy to make me look like a corpse, it's always a drama finding a nice l/s or l/g for me.

Being an Aussie I feel obliged to get some of this collection as The Dame comes from my own backyard and I do love her so

This is one of my favourite collection this year *surprisingly* I do not expect to buy anything from it. My haul incl. Gladiola x 3pcs, Kanga-Rouge x 2pcs, Coral Polyp, Varicose Violet, Asiatique & Hot Frost. Fortunately I can use the Pro-card discount of 20% for these items.

Kanga-Rouge is such a beautiful red that I have to buy it! This is my 1st red lipstick and love it to bits. The same goes for Gladiola, its such a lovely unique color. Other than Rocking Chick lipstick, this is the 2nd lippie I love..

*Chill collection are already launch in Singapore. Check out Istean Scotts & DFS*

Great to hear that Chill is in Singapore!

Alright I'll make a trip down to Isetan Scotts; it wasn't at my usual MAC counter so I thought it's never coming here.

I gave in an ordered Gladiola l/s last night before the sale ended... I'm excited about that.

I was thinking of getting a backup of possum nose pink l/g, but I didn't in the end. I don't know what it is, but I love this gloss. Such a pretty shade, and the glitter in it is awesome. Not too much, and not too little.

You won't regret Gladiola, it is friggin awesome!

And the fact that you got it when it's on sale makes it an even better deal.

If you love PNP that much, maybe you should get a backup of it? Especially if you're using it very often because the tube will run out quickly.

Haha! I ended up getting a backup of PNP too. So from this collection I have Gladiola, Coral Polyp and PNP. I didn't do that bad with a collection for once. BBR is another story... I think I bought almost the whole collection. With a 25% discount though.

Good for you! I'm sure the 25% helped to cut the costs by a lot.

It's so costly to be addicted to MAC, but at the same time it feels so good.
