Ahhhh Frisky Business!!!!!!! I need you!!!!

If you are looking for a lipgloss to go on top of Night Violet, Angelwing is perfect.

After seeing more swatches, Blue Sorcery does looks like Steamy with a tad bit of Parrot or Talent Pool thrown in.

I wish someone who has some of the above mentioned would do a comparison of the teals

(At least that's what I'm telling myself!)

Want: Sexy Shenanigans and Frisky Business!

 

[purrtykitty]

Ooh, Dream is everything I hope it would be...maybe I need two of those bags!!

And I love Cruise Control l/g...I wish it were by itself.

 

[ledisxo]

I think im going to love the eyeshadow palettes!

Heres a swatch of Shimmertime Pigment:

L-R: Stila's Kitten, Shimmertime pigment, Melon pigment

To me, Shimmertime is a slightly more pinker version of Kitten. HTH!

[TeresitaMC]

^ That's the one on my list too!

I am planning to pass this whole collection - but darn if that set does not make me crave it with it's pretty assortment of very wearable colours. I am hoping if I hold out long enough the craving will pass.

 

[purrtykitty]

If that happens, you must tell us your secret!!

 

[MzzRach]

LOL Karin! I've actually been very particular with my spending on MAC and other lines for most of this year, so I am now used to not giving in so easily to all the pretty things I "want". I have a sizeable collection, so I go through my stash on a regular basis to ensure all the options I already have are always top of mind.

Works for me.

 

[peek_a_b0o]

Hehehe Nevermind found it on Temptalias website! Isnt she just the GREATEST!!!! Fun in the sun kit is MINEEEEEE!!! Hehehe

So Far my list includes

Fun in the Sun Kit
Surprise Me Lipstick
Su Perdu Pernatural Mineral Blush
Conjure Up Mineral Blush
6 Smoke & Mirrors Eyeshadow Palette (For my best friends xMas present

, I preffer the '08 Smokey Palette)

Not too bad of a list! Im so much more controlled now

I used to buy everything in a collection >.< Crazy obsessed! LOL

 

[abbyquack]

So I pre-ordered the Fun in the Sun kit today! I don't care to have the entire set, I just have to get my hands on another Shimpagne- mine busted all over the place a couple years ago!

I also saw the display versions of this collection, and most of it didn't really seem up my alley, neither did anything really stand out above the rest, unfortunately. I do think the smokey palette is pretty- just gotta decide if it's unique enough to get, since I barely touch last year's smokey palette.

The brush sets are cute, and I like that there are some new brushes in the smaller size, but again, I feel like lately I've been getting rid of most of my little brushes, so there's no point to add to them.

I'm trying to figure out what i must get now and leave on my wishlist. What do you think out of all the sets will sell out the first? So far, I have the smoky palette, both lip bags, and the set with shimmertime on preorder. That right there is $144

....I still haven't figured out about the lipglosses or pigment sets yet bc that's on another check

If shimmertime is a crappy texture, is there another pigment that's similar? And scary enough, I don't own a smoky palette

It should be cheaper with your Pro discount or can you not buy them from the Pro store?
