Is it safe to ask what the bet was?

Lol, yeah - he flipped over to Private Parts (that stupid Howard Stern movie) on TV and I said the actress that plays his wife (at least early on in the movie) is the same one from West Wing and now has a new USA show. He disagreed and I said he was wrong, she was just much skinnier in Private Parts. We bet $100 and I pulled up IMDB and won! He didn't want to bet because he said he felt bad about "taking my money" but I think he knew he was in too deep once I named $100 as the term!

I am looking forward to Mellow Mood and Fast Thrill too! Thankfully I have 2 sets of empties

I love the looks of Culture Clash, but I am thinking it might be similar to Sweetness from Barbie, which I have 2 of. Sonic Vibe looks gorgeous too! I wasn't really thinking about Pink Split or Play on Plums, but now the reviews have got me thinking... I am back to wanting Polar Opposites again, along with Fresh Green, Sea and Sky and Odd Couple. I am so excited to hear that the texture of these are better (though I love the ones I have with the crappy texture too

). I was hoping to get the 227 with this haul, but it looks like it is going to have to wait unless I get TONS of giftcards for my birthday. As usual, my wishlist is ever changing for this collection and Sonic Chic. It looks more and more like I will be skipping Colour Forms all together now, and I am perfectly ok with that!

Re: Electroflash Discussion

elegant-one I know what you mean about pink split! It looks so gorgeous but pinks tend to make me look sick when I use them on my eyes.

I agree with Audrey about skipping color forms. I think I am going to invest more in this collection especially because I love eye shadows. A girl can never have too many eye shadows in my opinion.

My list so far is:
Hot Contrast (not sure where I would ever wear this one but it is so pretty!)
Fresh Greens
Polar Opposites
Pink Split
Fast Thrill l/s
Mellow Mood l/s
Culture Clash l/g
Sonic Vibe l/g

Ohhh...I am getting so excited for these!

Sadly I missed out on the barbie collection (Except for Real Doll, I bought that from someone!) so I couldn't quite say, it is a gorgeous gloss, I'm quite a fan.

In my opinion, I'd say the most unique ones are... Fresh Green, Polar Opposites, Hot Contrast, and the rest of the pinks and golds I know I wouldnt have a problem finding a dupe for, even if it wasn't exact, sometimes a pink is a pink is a pink, if you know what I mean. But I do also want to mention, I'm sure there will be many people who wont want the ones I suggested just because they are either too dark, or too flashy, etc, and in that case the other ones would be perfect for them. But for me, those three that I mentioned are the most unique. But I also love two to glow, that gold is gorgeous! haha, so we'll see what happens when they are released.

And like we were saying before Audrey, I think that Odd Couple would be great for you, unless you want to get parfait amour e/s instead of odd couple, thats always an option. Atleast that way you could hold off on it and pick up Parfait Amour whenever you wanted, since its perm.

Re: Electroflash Discussion

I don't have sweetness right in front of me, but I think Culture Class is more pink.

HA...so our lists (for now) are pretty much the same

Yeah, Pinks & Reds can be funny colors sometimes. If I use it more than to just look at

I'll probably highlight with it (pink split) Or I'll just cover myself in pink

 

[blindpassion]

Re: Electroflash Discussion

Okay ladies.
Heres my list
It will change, I seldom get as much as I think I will..

Hot Contrast e/s
Polar Opposites e/s
Fresh Green e/s
Fast Thrill l/s
Sonic Vibe l/g
Culture Clash l/g

Ugh living in Canada makes things way too expensive!
Just that will most likely be over 100 dollars.

Re: Electroflash Discussion

Coachkitten, I have the same problems with pinks around my eyes, but maybe it could be used as a blush? I don't know about the veined part though, that could make it tough on the cheeks. I am getting SO excited too, especially after Blindpassions's reviews. I am going to play around with the pinks I have and see if I can get anything to work. I have several pink pigment samples, so I will give those a go before this collection comes out. If I look like a crack addict, I won't even tempt myself by swatching the pink ones

I am crossing my fingers that my MA will call me if these come in and I can go check them out before the launch

Re: Electroflash Discussion

I stopped at the MAC store in the Mall of America the other day and asked one of the SA's when this collection would be out. She looked at me as if I were crazy. She said she had no idea what I was talking about. Um, what? I told her, "Are you serious?"

I just stood there dumbfounded that she had no idea. She finally went to ask someone and they said July 10th or 11th. I hope they are right but who knows.

Most MA's haven't had their summer update yet where they learn about new collections coming, release dates, etc. so that's probably why she had no idea what you were talking about. I asked my MA on Friday if they knew of upcoming collection dates, and she pulled out an email from corporate and showed it to me. It confirmed the release of Electroflash, Sonic Chic and New View on 7/10 and Colour Forms on 7/18.

My MA will be going to update tomorrow, I believe.

I thought about you after I wrote that comment

I have never seen a crack addict up close and personal, but my husband has a fasination with all those COPS shows on tv, and I am forced to watch while I surf Specktra.
