I thought that when Germany had the collection today that we would have it too - I was so excited... But then I walked past the MAC store and no new collection for me today

And here I was thinking I would finally get me something "small" for my birthday

Sigh, more waiting...

But I am happy for you - have fun with your new goodies, I am sure they will bring you only joy

 

[LMD84]

Didn't eared of any McQueen p/p fakes.
You should look for Electro Sky too, amazing for any blue and blue/purple like violet trance, it's the smoother of the 3 too. Oh and for Bitter fan's Pharaoh is a must have. And Otherworldly just makes colors like Hunting and Too Dolly so pigmented.

Could I survive with Gold and Reflects Copper glitter and remove Fuschia and get PTE and pick up Cocomotion from a good source later? I saw your stance on Heritage Rouge and many thanks because I'm hoarding for that quad despite not having an exact date....grrrr. Will those 3 do me over or will I have a regret about Fuschia glitter later? Me and my damn long posts....throw some Adderall my way.

Well all the glitters and Heritage Rouge are perm at Pro so you can order them anytime, just get the LE stuff IMO.

I called last week for my first Gone But Not Forgotten search and the Rep told me they charge whatever the retail price was when the item was released. They also charge $5 shipping and handling (for the entire order).

I have Electro Sky and Otherworldly, they are great! Unfortunately Ebay seems to be the only way to get the last one, Pharaoh, since there are no CCOs in Finland and Mac doesn't ship internationally. Just like Ursula said, their tendency to dry is a concern. But glad to hear that it seems they haven't been counterfeited!

[satin_yogurt]

i ordered my stuff today *yay* photo realism, the perfect cheek and crest the wave (plus beyond jealous and studio sculpt concealer) can't wait to recieve all those. hopefully they arrive by tomorrow

(this was my biggest mac hall ever...so far...*lol*)

 

[shontay07108]

I went to the mall today and stopped by mac, of course. Color me dumb, but I didn't know they had the shadow palettes. My MA told me and sold me that as well as the shadow pans. I bought Embark, Creme de Violet and Retrospeck. They're all hot. I didn't have enough money for satellite dreams and the 109 brush, but I'll be going back.

I took another look at make up arts, but I was underwhelmed by everything I didn't have already. I don't want the glitters, violet trance was still dull, all the other shadows unexciting. I already have off the page. I didn't want the lippies and I already have personal taste and on display gloss. I have notable blush, too. I took a look at the perfect cheek blush and swatched it all over the place trying to convince myself it would look good on me, but I failed. It just looks like dust. It's so wrong for my olive complexion. I am 173 in mufe hd foundation. Anyone know of a pale pink blush I can use? One for darker skin. I'm happy with my haul, all in all.

 

[TISH1124]

Perfect cheek did not even show on me it showed like a cloud of ash or something no color .....But I love Notable...Thanks to the Enablers!

 

[fintia]

oh yessssss!! Reflects rust is sooo pretty!!! After buying at my CCO reflects very pink glitter I went back to MAC and ended up buying reflects rust.. I'm in love with this kind of glitter, look s so pretty.. It's my 1st time doing looks with glitter and I just fall in love.. I also got obviosly orange eye liner.. and want more.. but gotta wait..hehe

Yes, I love notable. I knew I would love it after just looking at a pic of it in the pan. I wore it for a whole week after buying it. It even rivals my beloved Nars blushes and that's a big deal. Too bad The Perfect Cheek is a dud for darker girls.

 

[nunu]

I'm considering adding Notable to my wishlist for this collection...Is there any blush simmilar to it? LE or perm? I ask because i want to know what it's close to.

Looks like Notable is going to be added to the list then along with Photorealism!

2 items...not bad!

 

[Winthrop44]

Have any NC15s or NC20s tried Notable blush with a light hand?

Yay Susanne! I'm so glad you liked this collection. Finally, someone to share my excitement! Will we perhaps get any FOTD's from you?!

 

[Ursula]

I am NC 25/30 and The Perfect Cheek didn't show up at all on me either. I'm very olive too. It did strike me as very ashy and cloudy. I'm on the hunt for blooming and plum du bois now. Along with Spiced Chocolate. You girls are gettin' me into big trouble! Big trouble!

Susanne, I am excited about this collection too. Not every single item, but still, happy over all. That's good cause Style Black is doing nothing for me.

I finally got my haul yesterday! I bought mine from LAX (my bf was there for work). I try to buy my stuff from the US because it's cheaper than Singapore.

I got the Photorealism quad, Cocomotion pg, Brash & Bold pg, Push the Edge pg, Off the Page e/s, Colour Matters t/k. I used Photorealism yesterday and I'm a little disappointed. It's kinda meh.

I much prefer the Love the Look collection.
