Yes, I am sure... Sad thing is that there were people there today wanting to buy, and alot of the stuff that is being held probably won't get picked up. They allow holds without payment. The phone was ringing off the hook.
I'm thinking of splurging on some Chanel glossimers!
It was like that at my counter too (The Bay). The MUA told me that they got three of many items, and one becomes a tester by default. It's a shame really; she opened the tester and I was the only one who used it. Once Fleet Fast sold out (happened within five minutes since there were only two), she pulled the tester from the display. Same thing happened with Red Racer. I wonder what happens to those testers.
Oh I see. My store no longer does holds for LE items.
Yes, that made me laugh tooThank you everyone who wished me well
That part cracked me up
Oh goodness, he's killing me! I'm surprised he didn't say overrated or something thereof.Dustin has a good video review of the collection.

I guess he doesn't like the Sun Tints.
I'm so happy that a heavier foundation helped. I was afraid that you might not like a heavier foundation. I think the green primers might be better if your face overal looks slightly redder than your body. Have fun with your new goodies!Went on a coffee run and stopped in at the MAC counter in the nearby mall. I didn't get the coffee, but I did add to my HS haul.
Tried:
Crew: Was as ghastly on my face as it was on my arm. Pass
Red Racer: Too pinky a red for me. Nothing special. Pass
Send Me Sailing: Ehn - it was alright. Just. Pass. (Marilyn here I come)
Riviera Life: Not as great as I expected it to be. Just ok, so I passed.
Jaunty: Doesn't even show on me.
Barefoot: I feel like there are other similar shades I can get without having to pay $19 for special packaging and then depotting. Pass.
Feeling Fresh: Not for me. I love greens but not this one.
Sun Dipped: I didn't need another bronzer. I didn't need another bronzer. But this was PERFECT, I tell you. I'll buy it tomorrow at the MAC store where it's being held for me.
Brush: Coming home with me tomorrow.
Throw Me a Line: Now in my makeup bag. Great orange-toned red. Love it.
Biggest surprise: Fleet Fast. I had no intention of buying this. I swatched it against Peachykeen and they are nothing alike. Oddly, Peachykeen looks more corally (and has more sheen), but swatches much pinker than Fleet Fast. I tried to talk myself out of it, I really did. The three people behind me who also wanted it (the store only got two, I was first in line and one was reserved) clearly would have preferred that I not get it. It definitely pulls more red on me.
Before I passed up on it, I layered Studio Fix NC25 over my N3 Face and Body and lo and behold, it works. (Thanks for the tip, Pinkdollface)!I think I just need a heavier foundation on my cheeks to tone down the redness. I've tried all the green primers and they don't help. I'll need to stipple Fleet Fast on (just as I do Modern Mandarin) but it was different from anything I have and I liked it so home it came.
Final haul:
Fleet Fast
Launch Away
Nude on Board
Sun Dipped
Handforged
Throw Me a Line
Sail La Vie
LE Brush
On that happy note, I'm done for the summer. Because I am NOT going to order the NARS Lustre and Gilda I've been eyeing. No indeed.(At least not until my next billing cycle).
Do you generally know what kind of colours suit you more, cool or warm ones? If you look better in cool colours I'd go for a cooler toned bronzer like Sun Dipped. If you look better in warm colors something like Refined Golden and the other, more orange ones. Generally you should try them out and look at it in daylight. Finding a good bronzer is really hard, especially when you look better in cool colours. Will you be posting a picture?
I love your hair! Congrats gracie! What will you treat yourself with?
I had to pay for mine over the phone too! I may or may not have added 5 more items to my haul...
loving the look! Fleet Fast looks good on you!
