Anyone who has swatched this would you recomend for NW20 or should i head towards fun and games? I want something "pretty" rather than natural. I am going to the pre release here in Australia and want to have my list set in stone before I head in so I dont miss out.. I think we will be way busier because we have so fewer stores. Thanks in advance

I'm in Aus too, who gets to go to the pre release? I've ordered already, but there's some items I want to see in person before buying!

I'm also very interested in how Tippy will do on NW20 skin.
First I was leaning towards Fun & Games but looking at the swatches now it looks very orangey.. so I'm thinking about Tippy instead...

PS: long time lurker here but decided to finally post

I was so exited about Hello Kitty and my List was sooo long, but now I don't like it

I just want four Things...

Tippy BPB
Fun & Games BPB
Big Bow l/s
Nice Kitty l/g

That's it! Anyways better for my wallet

maybe more money for the Kouture Compact. Not sure about that, I looooove the Packaging but is it really worth the money?!

 

[wizzer3245]

Same... not long ago i said i wasnt going to get it
but all the talk is making me want to purely because of the compact
eekkk mac addicts help me!

 

[Yagmur]

Oh, I forgot:
Thank you all, for your Reviews and Swatches

And I am really upset about Milk Pigment! I thought there will be a NEW & GREAT Pigment...

 

[nursee81]

so did i, i was hoping for a pretty baby pink pigment w/ no glitter chunks! I went in planning to get milk pigment, tippy bpb, & pretty baby bp. Milk was helium/kitchmas(?) renamed & pretty baby didn't show up on me at all. Ended up w/ just tippy & fun and games bpbs!

 

[jenntoz]

HEY, I almost forgot!!! Did anyone see the crystal compact? How many crystals made up the eyes? Was it the one with 2 or 4 crystals that they wound up producing?

 

[Sabrunka]

Well I've made up my list!! Although it's probably going to get larger once I actually go in store...

Tahitian Sand BP
Strayin' LS
Blue Green Piggy
She Loves Candy LG
Purse Mirror
Maybe the grey polish and a TLC

the only products discounted are the pigments, reflects glitters and glitter eye liners.

PS: Milk is recycled as Helium!!

Yeah, I was drooling over those pics & swatches ALL morning. I wasn't going to get much...until I saw them.

 

[MissResha]

i'm a lil disappointed. so far, the only things i see worth buying are the pigments/glitters, maybe 1 beauty powder, and one lipstick, and one lipglass. the eyeshadows dont seem that pigmented

the packaging is cute as all hell though.

When they put Barbie up online, it sold out mostly to all the people that jacked the prices & sold on ebay.

I'm hoping that will NOT be the case...but looks like a maybe

The waiters with the pink bow ties were so nice. Bow tie cookies. I snagged a balloon, which got plenty of attention and a couple of questions. They even had tattoos, which Daniel was applying quite poorly. But good, lord, it was claustrophobic in there. I took an insane amount of pictures and swatches and all that. I have so many pics that I don't know what to do with them. The reason I'm actually up (OMG is that the time?!) is that I took a mini nap while the pics were uploading to photobucket. If you guys would like to see what I captured of the craziness, here is the link to my photobucket album: Hello Kitty MAC Presale 2 3 09 pictures by lenadav - Photobucket I also posted a blog of my experience, as per Janice's request, but I don't know when that will be up. What I didn't like: -the lip conditioners (they seemed sticky to me), -fashion mews (i got the lavender whip and ever so rich glass from cremesheen collection) -all the other lipsticks, except for most popular and fresh brew -petite bag (really petite, couldn't even fit my pencil, or all of my travel-size just-in-case things that I carry everyday) -tippy blush (too hot pink for me) I got: -2 lipsticks from the HK collection and lavender whip from cremesheen -both eyeshadow palettes, although the swatches look muted to me, but I may need to just play with it -on the prowl polish (my first MAC polish!!!) -lashes (my first pair!!!) -both pigments (my first pigments!!!) -fun & games blush -tahitian sand powder (unclear on what to do with this, since its just a flat color and may make me look a little dry. i just wanted something else with her face engraved on it) -cup/brushes (holds at least 28 of my brushes, including the brushes it comes with. I didn't even realize I had that many until I tested the holder. I like it has a felt bottom so it doesn't scratch the surface) I didn't get any lipglasses because I already have so many glosses that I forget about, so I didn't want to let another gloss sit and get old. I wasn't interested in the small accessories, so I didn't even look at them. Look out for my blog (if it gets posted). Enjoy the pics and let me know if there are any questions. And if I should post my pics somewhere else, let me know, please. I'm only 2 weeks old as a specktra member. Off to bed!!!

thanks for the reviews. and also the pics

 

[melissy]

for people who went to the events for the tinted lip conditioners which colour do you think looked better
Pink Fish - Soft neutral pink
Popster - Lively coral pink?

 

[genduk26]

do u think Tippy BPB is too bright for NC40?
