I got my stuff... Finally!!
I carefully went through, opened everything up, looked at everything, gushed and then put them all back into their boxes. I have a random system where any new makeup stays in its box until I use it. Then I save the box but I'm running out of room for them so I think they're gonna get recycled soon. Or used to organize my train case...

Me too, no perms again; I have a straight hair and everyone likes the way it is. And now my hair is getting thin and is breaking off a lot after I did the perm, Is that normal?

I got Happy Together and Band Of Roses today!!
These are my first MAC MB's and I have to say...I LOVE them. I have to thank all of you here for raving about them and pushing me over the edge to actually try them out!
Happy Together is such a gorgeous peachy nudey glow-from-within blush. I love it even with no other make-up on and can see myself wearing it all the time. I even tried using the sparklyish side on my lids and love that too!
Band Of Roses is STUNNING!!! I thought it may be too dark for my NW15/20 skin, but with my 188 or 131 and a light application it's incredible! On me it's a beautiful raspberry rose flushed cheek, like I just came inside from a snowy day. I won't be wearing this now, but come Fall and Winter time...this will be my daily blush.
I'm so pleased with both of them, and they aren't glitter disasters at all! Can anyone recommend other MBs with similar texture/glow without glitter?
Still waiting on Love To Love MES and Go For It l/s and a bunch of perm things.

I used to have all 3 of those, but I swapped them away. So I won't be able to do comparisons. I liked Comfort enough to keep it though (although I only use it for contouring), but I didn't like the other 3. So, I don't think they are similar at all.

Anyone else thinks Happy Together MB looks like a miniature version of the Mineralize Skinfinish Duo in Medium Dark? Or am I just weird?

Well, for me, the only shade in the PR quad that I have no payoff issues with is Photorealism itself - but that's a highlight shade which is never too troublesome. The Fresh Approach and Image Maker are horrible, IMHO. I really have to pack them on. Grey Range is somewhere in the middle, being a little too chalky for a VP finish...
Now, the dark green in the CCC MES trio is also a bit chalky but about the same amount of chalky - nothing major. The shimmery green is superior to the two lighter shades in the quad in every way - I like the color more and the texture is also better, I think. The highligter is less shimmery and less gold than Photorealism - more white and more like a satin than frost - exactly like the description says.
Which is fine by me as that obvious green-gold shimmer can be too much sometimes for higlight - I usually use another eyeshadow to tone down Photorealism when using as a highlight - rendering the quad a bit less useful when I have to tote an extra shadow around... Not with CCC MES
Please bear in mind that I have had my CCC MES for barely a week and I have yet to use it wet, but I think that it is at least comparable to the PR quad and that I will reach for it quite often - at least in my eyes

Hey ladies! Just wanted to let you all know that I believe those who received backorder notices from MAC online (US) will be getting your orders fulfilled. I received a backorder notice and I now have a $28 pending charge on my bank account from MAC. They likely just got in stock and are preparing to send the backordered SR's!
