Yeah, the people who buy 4 or 5 at a time so they can sell them on ebay and make a profit. Boils my blood SO much.

Mmmhmm. Again, if I don't get one because one of them bought in bulk to make a quick buck, I WILL kill someone.

Okay, not really.

But, I will be really angry.

I mean hell, I'd love a backup, but I'll just get one for now and then if the time's right later I'll get another one, cause I dont want to take one away from someone who wouldn't even get one.

Different strokes, I suppose.

Yes- no backups for me.

I will be trying to pick up an extra one though for someone on here who missed out.

I went to mac pro in NYC today stereo rose is sold out. It sold out in one day! anyway I swatched a few things from the collection. I'll post swatches when I get in tonight.

This is a horrific state of affairs --- no way to buy these LE items in peace and without angst

I need to buy a replacement SR for my broken one in a jar -- I am getting so pissed off I may not replace it

Can't wait till thursday my goodies are on hold I just have to call in my CC to my freestanding store and they will ship my goodies to me

I saw the collection today & thought everything was really beautiful. The colors in the es trios seemed very soft with wonderful smooth texture & great pigmentation. The soft blue es trio is gorgeous. Band of Roses blush - beautiful! The 2 pink cremesheens are very very beautiful too. The Blue chremesheen is really pretty. The MA said to use it over reds.
Well, there really wasn't much that I didn't like

Those of you that saw it, what did you think of the purple lipstick called Go For It? Would Band of Roses work on chocolate skin? Thanks!

yes, I think Band of Roses would work well on you -- the brighter rose would be your blush and the lighter a good highliter.. or mix and get a subtler effect. Go for it is magnificent and would work on any color skin or lips

Play and have fun!

WEll, I warned my bf that the new collections were out, so he should stand back in case he didn't want to see a lot of money spent. Hot up the pro store and they had both A+O and ITG out.

Have to say, I found ITG very conservative. The colours are lovely,but a lot of it seemed like things I already have. I ended up getting Go For It- which I foresaw from the beginning- and Chillin', since I think it will add a nice, cool edge to many colours. I ended up getting jazzed as sort of an afterthought and only then because my enabler said it was pretty and didn't look like other shades I have. (From A+O, I stuck with I Want Candy and Later- nothing else, despite The Enabler trying to sell me on Sparkilicious). I grabbed one each of Stereo Rose and Petticoat. Weird thing- apparently, they were just about sold out of By Candlelight, but not the other two. Go figure.

The MES and blushes were nice and I may go back to grab one or two, but I'm not convinced. I tried Style INfluencer on my hand and found any attempt to blend the colours made a MESS. Some of the colours seemed very chalky and difficult to work with. Anyway, I'm a happy hauler. $160 total for all my ITG and A+O. For now.

Yes, I think it would, as it has a beautiful pop of perfect pink color. There is also New Vibe - a beautiful deep rose kinda fuchsia/bronze blush that may look good on you too. I didn't get to see the ls - they didn't have those to see

Or for that purple ls maybe a more neutral/peach based blush.

 

[elegant-one]

I forgot - Happy Together is a beautiful neutral
and Hang loose is much prettier in person than how it is coming across in the photos.

I totally forgot about Mac Pro. They always get stuff early. DUH! Even though I know I'm not buying much anything, I still want to play. Well, I'll just wait now.

Ive been playing with Go For It lipstick and I am exchanging it. I just don't like how it looks and when I first apply it, it looks like the purple swatches but then it mutes into some purple-plum color. It's also too dark. I feel very meh about it and about this whole collection in general. The only thing I like is Stereo Rose.

Band of Roses is the only thing I'm interested in! I hope it's not too shimmery, if not, I'll definitely be getting this!

So today I went to the mall and went to the counter at Nordies first. They didn't have this collection out, but I asked if I could put Stereo Rose on hold - they had every item in the collection besides Stereo Rose in the drawer!!

They hadn't received the shipment of it yet.

Later I went to the freestanding store in the same mall because I had 6 empties and didn't know what I wanted to get (I ended up with Extra Amps Dazzleglass and I bought Viva Glam Cyndi l/s). I asked if I could put Stereo Rose on hold, and when the MA checked they had 6 of them!! None of them had been reserved yet!! I am SO excited to have one in a bag with my name on it!!!

It's kinda strange that two places in the same mall would have different products!!

like susanne said, its the same as last year, with obvious differences due to each ones individuality of course.

Anyway, I called my counter and they're reserving one for me [so happy I know and love my MA's!].

they obviously aren't implementing the 4 item per scu purchase policy.
