Thank you so much for educating us here, HerGreyness. And so sorry that the bacteria put you in the hospital very long. I'm very glad that you made it through! Be very careful.

I nearly died from this (hospitalized for 33 days) and had the highest doses of vancomycin, rifampin and other meds in order for me to live.. finally in order to really kill the bacteria I was given extreme doses of Cyvox which is a real killer micin and that did it -- but I was sick as a dog. I am here and my husband who took care of me is not.. however, I have an enormous respect for these microscopic creatures to the point where if and when I try anything on any client to test a product, I will take a small slab of lipstick with a spatula and put it on a stainless plate from where I take the product with a disposable brush and apply it. Afterwards the s.s. plates get sterilized in extreme high heat in special ovens. If you are not getting this type of sterilization, you are just getting a sponge bath for the bacteria... not a real sanitizing. sorry to spoil the fun, but there are very real risks and dangers involved in using testers which are used by the general public. |

It's already almost 2:00 in the morning where I live, and I can't sleep. Anticipation for my MAC box is keeping me awake. Even though I'm only getting one item from this collection, I am DYING here. Here's hoping that the UPS guy comes in the morning b4 my first class- otherwise, I'll have to wait until after classes and hope no one has taken my box.

so guys,i know alot of you are loving this collection but where are the FOTDs?! i want to see what some of you guys are doing with your goodies!
i wish i could just buy the black vp from the LL quad, i dont want the rest!

I wanted to post about how the liner that I wore yesterday. It was very hot and humid here ...mid 90's and as you know I'm working as a courier. Yesterday I got out of the station late due to not having a truck and while yes I was in and out of the A/C of the sprinter I got I still was running like a crazy person so sweating. Well by the time I went to remove it at 11pm it hadnt budged except where I was wiping the inner corner of my eyes as I always am. THey always water there and I dont know why. Anyway It held up better then any other liner except the f/l! Now trying to remove it with m/u remover was difficult as reported before by others. It does flake off like even with the remover I always use with a cotton ball. It took too applications of remover/cotton balls to get it all off. Given it held up so well I definately need to get a few more of those liners
banana1234 Maybe you can find someone that won't want the black color and you can swap or buy it? If I didnt want it I'd swap/sell it to you
Knowing MAC they'll probably release that color in some upcoming collection

i am bak from haulingggg... i got:
Drive me wild lipstick (AWESOME)
Wildly refined l/g(AWESOME AWESOME)
Desires and Devices and Pure SHow (LOVE)
I am waiting on Lithe and Leopard Luxe quad
oops!! i forgot.. i also got Kittenish! ON the Cunning vs Kittenish debate.. on me Cunning runs much cooler and looked almost black-like and sheer.. whereas Kittenish is warmer and more pigmented. One swipe and it was on! will pot swatches on my lips soon.
Drive me wild was like a no brainer.. i was just applyin it and my MA (she never forces me to buy stuff... love her!) was like "you have got to get this!
Wildly refined is like liquid lipstick.. so pigmented!! and so so pretty.
I also tried Liquid Lurex, which surprisingly looked good... but I didint get it.. as yet. I did try it with Jealous over it.
To Pamper looked like Fresh brew, i didint try thye other brown cos there are good browns/nudes from the perm line i wanna try. Aristo cat was nice but I skipped... LoL was like Jampacked on me.. the rest I dont remember.
Bloodline- looked dark purple/taupe/brown/black... but a bit to bruisey and I have deep set eyes.. not sure how I would use it, so I didnt get it. I will get samples of all pigments except for Old Gold (too green on me) and Mauvement (not too chunky but very glittery).
I will probably pick up the Silver liner at some point. The blue was nice but dried down to a grey/blue and the treat me nice also got duller once dry. I didint feel the grey on me and I dont do brown eyeliner.
The blushes were unfortunately not in as yet so I will have to wait for them. I forgot to swatch Palace Pedigreed and I didnt feel the BB quad too much except for the duo chrome colour.
Thats all!!

Exactly what I did as well.
What did you get?
Me? Mauvement and Gold Stroke pigments, Spree l/g, PP quad, Smoky Heir, Desires & Devices and Marked for Glamour superslick e/l. I LOVE Smoky Heir! The MA did a cool cat eye on me and gave me some tips, I just hope I can recreate it.
I'm so not done with this collection.

Well, not really... alcohol and hygiene takes care of a lot, but of course there is always a risk of a stubborn bug hanging on. Also, you may need to sanitize larger areas than you think in order for it to be effective - I am thinking now not only of lipsticks, but as you mention in schools, hospitals etc you have to sanitize virtually every surface in sight to really minimize the risk of infection (I work in a hospital and whenever a patient is discharged for example, the bed, table, cupboard, doorhandles, wash basin, everything is wiped down with ample amounts of surface disinfectant). It isn't always possible in those settings to be as septic or hygienic as needed to keep every bug out, even if alcohol could get rid of everything (which I know it can't, not always).
As far as makeup goes: When I sanitize lipsticks before trying them on, I always dip the entire stick in the alcohol, not just the tip, and make sure I leave it in for a little while to make sure as many germs as possible die.
I could go on a rant now about over-prescription of antibiotics, but this is already too much off topic so I'll stop.

I left work extra early so I could get sooner to my store!
I wanted to get Aristo-Cat, but on lips pigmented as mine you'll only see a slight mauve-golden sheen. So I got Wildly Refined and Kittenish, passed on all the quads (they all are so pretty. But all so very dupable except for the one single shadow in every quad... sigh), got the grey liner to test it and still am unsure about the blushes. Maybe I'll get Pet me with the second haul...
There were only two or three customers in the store, and I chatted with one of the male MAs for quite a time (I mentioned Specktra

I know a very sweet girl who lives in the USA (i'm from the Netherlands) and she ordered my whole wishlist for me, and shipped it out yesterday to the Netherland, can't wait to see it IRL !!!
I ordered:
all 3 quads
Lipstick Drive me Wild
Lipstick Powerful
Lipglass Wildly Refined
Liquid eyeliner Smokey Heir
Lipstick Aristo-cat
Liquid eyeliner Desires+devices
Liquid eyeliner Definetely Feline
Next saturday the collection comes out in the Netherland, and i'm going to visit the store in Amsterdam. I don't think my goodies have arrived then yet, so saturday i can see everything for the first time in the store.
And perhaps buy some other things from this collection ;-)

I'm going to see this collection tomorrow!
This is going to be my first haul since In The Groove, I'm so proud of myself for resisting the few collections that came out in-between.
So far the only must-have item on my list is Kittenish lipstick. The rest include: Drive Me Wild l/s, Wildly Refined l/g, Spree l/g, Jealous l/g, Fancy Cat l/g (love the name
), and Pet Me MB. Let's see what I'll end up bringing home with me.
