mmmm tempted to do online order--moon river for a friend, hot planet and intenso is now on my radar. How do you think intenso would look on an NW15?

^I don't want to be an enabler or anything, but if you order online you can get free shipping with the SUGARSWEET code and the free mini zoom mascara with the LASH39 code
I did it yesterday for some shadesticks from the SS collection.

Love Rock is so yummy blended over Perfect Topping from SS...it's damn pigmented, though!! My 188 is bright pink!
And Elaine...you are the poster child for Hot Planet. I may be forced to get it now.

I don't think it will be too dark. I've seen an NC15 lady use it and it looked great on her. It's a gorgeous color. Get it!

lol Ya'll will laugh at me when I say I bought 3 of them!
I was so against it but they look very pretty b/c of how pigmented they are. I bought Grand Duo, Love Rock and Light Over Dark while I was in NYC. Im thinking of Hot Planet too but I think that is jumping a bit overboard for me. Im pleased with them as far as swatches go. I have yet to wear them and see how long they stay on or flake etc. Im hopeful.

I honestly didn't swatch this, so as not to be tempted, so i'm not much help. But I personally find these can go on less intense than last years MB's by circling the 188 lightly over both sides, I'm guessing the marbled side tones down the solid side. So if you have a chance to see them in person, it's probably safer.

Alright, soooo.... I accidentally drove to the mall today on lunch, then somehow ended up in the MAC store and accidentally purchased Love Rock! Not sure how it all happened, maybe some sort of transient amnesia?!
Don't care though, cuz it's really pretty!

I agree with Winnie on this one. I definitely think you could wear Grand Duo nicely. I am NC15 and GD looks gorgeous on my skin (I use a light hand to apply, of course
). I say, go for it!

Argh so I really regret coming to this forum b/c I now want to get a 3rd one of these! And which one, I have no idea, I just want another one!
I said before that I got Moon River and Hot Planet-HP does not look peach to me but maybe it is I will try it again. I love MR. But maybe I can wait til Apr 3 when I have my pro thing in which I already paid $75 to attend, and I can use some of that credit to buy another one.
ETA: yes, hot planet is indeed peach which is cool b/c when i bought it i thought it would be mauve like it appears in the solid side
Silly me! Anyways, it is really intense for my ppp skin, so maybe w/ a light hand it will be ok for me.

Which one is the peachy or coral looking one? Hot Planet right? I swatched it but b/c its been touched by so many, its all swirled together and I hate that! Im gonna use these separately.

LMAO - Team No didn't work out so hot for me, either. I just bought two more of these, bringing my total to 4!! Now, to my defense, Love Rock was a gift, and I suppose I could argue these last two that I ordered were as well since I'm counting them as the last of my birthday present from DH...but I could pretty much argue all my MAC purchases are gifts using that logic since I don't pay the cc bill!

Umm, okay!

Ughhhh can't wait till it's in my hands, but I have to wait till I get back to school because, silly me, I ordered it and had it delivered to school then I came home for break. Gaaaaaaah.
But yeah, Love Rock and Hot Planet were the two I got.

Ah! Those were the 4 I wanted/considered/was lemming. I ended up getting Hot Planet and Love Rock though. Personally, I think Hot Planet would look amazing on you. I LOVE that one. It's the peachy coral one.
