I really wanted to see these in person...

I just got Crazee today in the mail and I was a bit worried that it would be too bright but I actually like it. It's a little on the glittery side which usually I hate but I still like Crazee. Maybe I'll swatch it later if that might help.

I'm guessing that Stark Naked will be one of the first things to sell out. By Christmas...that's so hard to say because you never know how much quantity MAC has of any one collection.

Purpleinne,
Thats the same thing I was thinking I really like it. I just actually picked it yesterday.

Does anyone know any good dupes for this blush?

It's not a dead on dupe (particularly if you are of a fairer skin tone), but Gentle mineralize blush is quite a similar shade. It doesn't have the same golden sheen, either.

I believe the blush in question was actually Enough Said.

It's certainly proving to be much less universally wearable than the lovely Stark Naked.

 

[darkishstar]

Ahhhh. You all make me want Stark Naked now.
Please tell me I don't need it. Please.

Because I really wanted to skip this collection, I hate you all! I need to stop coming here, especially since I'm quitting my job!

You need to get it soooooner, it is so pretty

looooooove it.
By the way get iter-view mineral eyeshadow since the colore is

.

 

[elegant-one]

^^^ I agree on both...please don't hate me

 

[Sanayhs]

Elaine, ignore them. They are being bad, mean enablers. You do not need both those things.

...You only need Stark Naked.

(Unless you have Gentle! Then you don't need either!)

LOL girl i just quit my job too and i can't stop MAC is like a disease! but if you MUST get one thing from red she said its' gotta be stark naked! but if you don't get it, you'll be fine. the holiday collection + dame edna is more than my wallet can keep up with!

Crazeee has been tempting me alll weekend, ever since I saw it on Friday...if it's still at my MAC counter on Thurs, I will pick it up when I go get my palettes. I did a swatch of it in the swatch forum, and it's very similar to Eager (perm color), but a different finish and maybe a tiny bit darker...

Hasn't Eager been discontinued? I could swear I saw the ToD next to it...

I figured they couldn't put the display up because they ran out of room (there were a lot of other displays up) so I just asked the MA if they had the mineralize blushes. She was like, "yeah!" and then leads me to petticoat MSF, not really what I was looking for, but close, so I didn't get mad, but asked if they had any other small minerlize blushes from may that came back, described them and everything. Then shes like "oh yeah! the blushes here are mineralized." And then she leads to the bpb blushes from red she said, after confirming with a more experianced MA that these were indeed mineralized blushes. At this point I gave up and bought my other items, somewhat annoyed since I saw what I wanted on the shelf, but you can't just walk up and take it, u have to have an MA do it. I really hate that counter, but it's the only place near me I can go, I look really young, so they just assume I'm there to steal the testers or something. Only one MA is nice to me, because she knows I always buy something, but unfortunately she wasn't there yesterday...

The only thing I can say is WAO!!!! or wtf

even if they hadn't gotten it, which they would've seeing as how its a major collection, they would've covered it at update. i don't know how these people got hired.

I have Date Night and it looks quite lovely over a number of things. It makes me sad that the tube empties so quickly, though.

The other night I wore Date Night over Craving (perm amp creme) and it was really pretty.

Is it just me or does someone else also hate the eyeshadows for this collection? I'm so not feeling them.

[nursie]

i've been a lot more selective these past several collections.

i had wanted Love Alert dazzleglass when they were released this spring, but it was sold out by the time i got to the counter.....soooo, today my package arrived with Love Alert and it IS LOVE <3

so, my final tally for collections: So Ceylon,Love Alert,Smokey Eye Holiday Palette.....i have my fingers crossed nothing else catches my 'must have' until Hello Kitty
