there was a documentary about this on the BCC maybe 3 years back. a study in which men who were almost sterile and made them eat raw garlic daily... and although it tasted hideously according to their partners lol most of the women got pregnant as their sperm count was much healthier.



it was called what we dont know about food or something like that.

Garlic may improve sperm, but I'd consider it a highly effective contraceptive lol. I can't bear to be near anyone who's been eating garlic

I went to my Nordies counter to preview/preorder today...**The only thing I didn't see was the pigment gift sets

I pre-ordered:

"What Joy" lipstick ...close to Hang-Up but slightly more...berry/pink...gorgeous and right up my alley

Snow Season MES...described as a soft brown, I would describe it more as a peachy pink beige (gorgeous wet especially)

Sultry e/s palette: Couldn't resist these colors!! Gah. Berrys, browns, right up my alley. Yes please and thank you.

*****What I was tempted to get/what I think is going to be popular:

The paint pots are GORGEOUS...especially the pale pink one with shimmer (Let's Skate) and the taupe (Morning Frost). I skipped on pale pink because I know it won't show up on me, and the taupe was too similar to something I have from Benefit. But no doubt about it, people are going to freak over these...prettty.

I was tempted to buy Frozen blue MES...it's a gorgeous gray leaning light blue with shimmaaaa lol. Its so vibrant, omg. Perfect Ice Skaters blue. But I knew I wouldn't use it. So alas I parted ways, with great sadness.

One of the sets which I *think* is the Warm Fabulously Flawless Face Kit (tho the colors Temptalia is naming is not what I recall seeing in this palette?): A couple of the e/s were SO gorgeous...one was a darker/less copper version of Antiqued. and one was a darker version of Expensive Pink e/s. GAH. I didn't like the blush or l/g that came with it though and the particular brushes are useless to me...so..I had to pass :(...At least for now lol.

And lastly, the item I had the hardest time saying no to "Snowglobe" beauty powder...its a subtle, sheeny cheek highlight that will look gorgeous on fair/pale girls especially...but it really was SUBTLE. I felt like it wasn't different enough from my HG highlighter to have both. Finely milled and would be gorgeous over blush
thanks for the 411!! Makes skipping Snowglobe a lot easier =)

a guy at work had an eye infection that left his eye blood red for days... it was like he turned evil or something! :p oh and there was some nasty stuff leaking from it too!

Eeeek. This sounds so nasty. Well, happy p/p disinfecting and/or let's throw a p/p-toss-away party. Yikes, using old p/p is just nasty IMO.

At least there are new ones coming out often enough so that I don't have to be sad to part from the ones that get too "mature."

It's not identical, but pretty similar to Benefit's Birthday Suit paint pot. I think that Morning Frost leans slightly more cool/pink than Birthday Suit. (I am just going by memory tho).Since I usually use these lighter paint pots as a base for powder e/s, the difference wouldn't be noticable on me/for my use.

I hope you get a chance to test it in person just in case; I don't want to kill anyone's lemming....I just tested it in store on my NC20ish skin, and that was my experience of it. I didn't test out other ways to apply (like with a brush or sponge or used damp)...I just swatched with fingers and applied to my arm.

So maybe ymmv. It really is lovely, just not different enough from what I have/already use.

Just for fun, I found the 'hit list' I scribbled on a MAC envelope when I got that sneak peek of the Glitter and Ice Collection. I wrote down the things I swatched that impressed me. Kanga Rouge isn't on the list because it was part of a set of which I didn't know the name. Keep in mind these were my impressions as swatched on NW43 skin.

I want it all! I guess if I had place the products:
Gold Medal : "Skate With Me" Paint Pot
Silver Medal : "Shimmermint" Mineralize Eye Shadow
Bronze Medal: "Glitter & Ice" Dazzleglass

The collection is just beautiful!
Yes, it has high frost and shine, but not as much as I had thought. Even if you are not a " glitter" lover, no worries...I tried out the paint pots with some regular shadows and they are just stunning. SWM p/p on a bare lid is actually quite pretty. "For Effect" was not nearly as dark as it looked in the pot, pretty versatile color. The 2 beauty powders were even a surprise. Im not usually a big fan of those, however these both give the skin that perfected glow without the glittery texture. "Whirls & Twirls" lipstick was the over all pick of lipsticks, such a chameleon---it looked completely different on every person, but we all loved it.
I never made a list because Im just going to face the fact that this is the one collection I may just flat out have to have in all its sparkling glory.

I'm optimistic that everybody who sees this collection in person seems to like it overall and find a couple things they love:)

I'm interested in that dark paint pot. I hope it sheers out well.

You and I are on the same page here. Plus if I was feeding my man aphrodisiacs I would never get anything done, I'm sure many of you will agree. So I'll be keeping this info in mind.

On topic I am excited about new Dazzleglasses and some awesome re-promotes. I still love me some dazzleglasses.
