I brought home the Models Misbehaving mini lipglasses.

I had a gift card I'd been hoarding since my birthday in August, so I decided to treat myself when I went in to buy some Studio Fix powder.

I decided on the Sexy Shenanigans because I wanted good payoff for my very pigmented lips and I am not disappointed at all!

I am especially in love with Angel Wing. And Instant Gold. And Magnetique. And ... oh brother.

Really glad I got the set, anyway, and am really looking forward to playing with them all!

Just a little update ... I'm wearing Gitane today from the Models Misbehaving mini lipglass set ... and it is so beautifully pigmented and has great payoff on my insanely pigmented lips!! A little really goes a long way.

I can't wait to play with the other colours!

How's everyone enjoying the holiday collection? I have yet to buy anything, a first for me!

I still want the sexy shenanigans lipglass set but I am determined to get through my 1,000 glosses I already have.

The MUA let me buy a pigment set yesterday although she strictly wasn't supposed to. I got the Sexpot one as planned and I really like it. I'll go back and get the warm one later in the week. The stupid thing is my mineral foundation is running low and I can't afford to buy both new foundation and a mini lipglass kit... so maybe I'll forgo the lipglasses. I have so many anyway and I'm not really a lipglass person.

I still haven't purchased any of the sets this year. I have been really trying to limit my makeup purchases but I am lusting over the lipglass set with elle.

i know people are going crazy for elle... but although i find it pretty - i don't find it that special. i like the peachy shimmer but it doesn't wow me i'm afraid. i prefer snowscene because it has lots of coloured shimmer in it

I think it's because it looks like nothing MAC has or has ever had... ya know? Something new? And it just looks so pretty

^Same here! But the others in the set are really pretty too and I love getting to try different shades for the price of two full size

It depends on what you have on your wishlist, whether that would help or not

Some colours sell faster than others, so if you favourites are the brighter ones, there should be some (especially at the counters which start to sell anyways maybe on Monday only). So you still have time to think or save up. If you like to have the Neutrals, better decide fast

I had posted the information because online there is often just a small amount of stock, it could be seen (when you put things in your "basket" you can check from there the amount of sets left) that there are just about 30 of each l/g-set and 40 or so of the pigment sets, so one needs to be really quick. I got the "Sexy Shenanigans"-set and today it is already sold out online. Seems that it was much in demand.
Also the "Smokey"-Pigments seem to shift fast. Currently there is just one left; but for example the other l/g-sets, there are still more than 20. So I could suppose that many people might have chosen the more neutral colors, maybe also in case these are meant as gifts.

Actually I was really thinking a lot about the "Models"-set because of the two pink shades which look so beautiful, but I could not wear the two orange colours at all, so I sadly did not choose it and rather wait for a new set with more pinks again. Also I still have "Jampacked", maybe that helps me getting over "Angelwing".
Also the bright set was in a combination of some colours I would like and some that would not suit me at all.

Thanks again also everyone for the swatches in the other forum, they helped me a lot in deciding because I really rather buy online (Counter is far).
