Mr. Elegant sounds like a very smart man!

You guys are really funny, it's best if I keep the dh in the dark!
I knew some of you would cave, I really like these blushes.

I used to try that, but he would figure it out, and then he would be pissy in a passive aggressive way! So now I just get it all out in the open, we discuss, and then it's all over with!

He's funny

Besides, he has his 'collectible thingys'. I've been kinda good, but I don't think thats going to last when Rose Romance comes out

I usually hate light blushes but I looove moon river, gives me a gentle peachy glow and the swirly part looks like lightscapade on me. I didn't like Hot Planet though, the 2 parts swirled together gave me a dirty plum that I didn't really find attractive, and anything that looks orange in makeup scares me.

i totally agree with this part. i was about to get hot planet but decided on intenso at the last minute for this very reason (hot planet=dirty plum color=yuck) and i'm glad i did. i only left with moon river & intenso and i'm perfectly happy with those two choices : D

I'm trying to stay strong but i think i'm caving

Saw these in person today - way too glittery for my taste. The colours are a bit weird too, no real stand outs. I would have liked to see a peachy one...

The colour payoff is fantastic though, I must say.

I didn't buy any, but I did come home with Dainty to satisfy my need for a new blush <3

Me too! I have managed to go to Nordstrom twice and skip these but I have a feeling that when I pick up my Sugarsweet stuff on Wednesday that I might cave.

 

[nunu]

Yes, i might cave as well!

Bad bad bad..

 

[TISH1124]

Thank God my sister is picking up my SS stuff or I know I would if I went back in...MAC is just too damn irresistible...She is the Girl every girl hates

 

[Liya2007]

Ok, I caved (to be honest I knew from the start that at the end I was going to get at least one

... I was at Heathrow airport and saw the Grand Duos at the MAC Counter, so I checked Grand Duo again ... and again I loved it and with the airport price and no Tax I decided to get it

... OK I’m done with this collection

It's like we come here to confess.....hahaha

 

[abbyquack]

I've gladly stayed strong in avoiding these. I'm not really worried, if I ever decide I want one, I'll probably find one in the sale thread. I am really burnt out though, because I am not excited about MAC right now, I don't even want to buy just to buy LOL. Also I am broke and cc debt doesn't make me want to buy anymore stuff

Haha indeed, if my other half takes me into Manchester tomorrow i'll cave for sure so if we go i'll be making an confession this time tomorrow night!

 

[elegant-one]

^^^HaHa...well get something pretty!

 

[jackie100]

Does Love Rock look really similar to Nars Angelika? I have Angelika and it seems to look somewhat alike from the swatches, like a bright hot pink?
