^ Don`t I wish i coul`ve placed the largest order of my life , lol mine was only 2es and 1 ls but please share your

I just went ahead and ordered unflappable e/s online too, adding to my previous order (below) Biggest one time haul from MAC ever. Done hauling for a while tho. *eeks*

Quote:
This is what I ordered today (though I won't be able to take it home with me til Thursday):

Eyeshadows:

(1)Dalliance
(2)Prance
(3)Spectacle of Yourself (was not on my list, but WOW it's gorgeous in person...breathtaking metallic reddish brown & so pigmented...and sexpectations was too ruddy for me so this took it's place)
(4) Plum Noir (the whole way home I kicked myself for not ordering this one at the store. It's truly gorgeous/metallicy purple.I have so many purples that I tried to dismiss my want for it. But
I got home, saw that the e/s were online and ordered it. Happy Ending. lol.

I have to tell you, I was also very taken by Unflappable. I may just end up getting that too...lol. It's a gorgeous purply black that would go beautifully with Noir Plum for a smoky purple eye.

Lipstick-glosses: I really liked the consistency of these...but I would just call them full color glosses. Not kissable, and they are not lipstick-y by any means (not goopy lipstick like an OCC lip tar)...I bought:

(1) Love Peck
(2) Scan Delicious

I loved Exhibitionist too but I don't think I'd use it too often....so I passed. For now. We'll see if I resist lol.

For the 3 shadows I bought and 2 lipsticks, my total was about 101 USD$ in store if you're interested (including tax)...then I went home and ordered Noir Plum so my total spent on this collection app. 120$...that's a lot (for me) from one LE collection...whosa. (that's not including the other 3 items I bought that weren't from this collection so I feel a little dirty *g*). Last big haul before starting to save for a new laptop.

I know the feeling. I did that with the Makeup Art Cosmetics Collection in 2009...smh
Haven't hauled like that since. Don't know if I will do it again from MAC either unless the summer collection is VERY promising Enjoy your goodies!

No, don't be embarrassed about that here! heavens that's porn on this site

 

[Winthrop44]

I was planning to skip but decided I had to try a couple...Dandizette & Unflappable. Hope I love 'em.

 

[elegant-one]

Oh no shhhhhhh! Here I thought I was being good & took Spectacle out of my cart at the last minute! (we all know what's gonna happen here)

I knew when I did it that I shouldn't have.

Spectacle of Yourself is GORGEOUS - I originally wanted Centre Stage, but when I went and swatched it I wasn't nearly as impressed, and fell in love with SoY! I did a look yesterday night with ToP as a base, SoY in the crease and Dalliance as a highlight and in the inner corners - it was beautiful!!!

 

[elegant-one]

I did end up getting

Unflappable
Dandizette
Center Stage
Woo Me
Flaunting it

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ Those are the lip colors I would have gotten if I tried them. I'll be interested to hear how you like them!

 

[emory]

it hapens to us all at some point! VV was my buggest haul!

haha VV was *supposed* to be my biggest ever. that didn't last long, lol.


my giant list. my mother gave me the money for one of the shadows because it's going to be a birthday present (should get here just in time!). i keep reminding myself of this when i think of my final total, lol.

funny!

Woo Me looks so pretty. I'm just hoping that it actually shows up on my lips. Flaunting it is just a given is so beautiful.

I almost didn't know that was you because you changed your pic

This collection is so delicious, I don't even know how to restrain myself, but after the holiday psychosis spree of spending, I have to, which sux, cuz I know this is gonna sell out.

I limited myself to Temper tantra (cuz I like the Poo mouth look!) but no more since I really want to check out the formula. I am really converting to satins and mattes because I hate wandering lipstick! I agree with adding lipgloss over a lipstick if you want to add shine/sparkle/glitter/tendency to wander all over yr faceness.

I have to admit that Woo Me will be quite flattering on probably everyone and will likely be one of the first to sell out, but honestly, I have a zillion like it or can combo that color with my eyes shut. Flaunting It is gorgeous, but again, I want a matte purple in the color or a satin finish.
So Vain would be my ideal MLBB color, so it may have to be purchased if I decide to get another and it doesn't sell out first.
Super looks like an awesome color too, again, not sure I am gonna like a lipstick that acts like a gloss (migrates all over the place and has little staying power??)
Peacocky sounds so beautiful, I am considering going back for that if it doesn't sell out, which I am betting it will...

I so had to restrain myself on the eyeshadows because they are all gorgeous, but I really don't wear blues or blue based purples that often and I don't need more "highlight colors". I got Mating Call and Unflappable because I thought they were the most versatile considering I am first Team Taupe and then secondary member of Team Purple. If these were more affordable, I'd get Papparazz She, Peek At You, Dalliance, Center Stage, Noir Plum, Prance and Top of the Pop--in that order. I guess I am limiting myself because I know I really won't cruise a frosty or metallic look that often. I guess I am just a matte girl because my old hag eyeball skins are too wrinkly for all this shine.

Hope you lovely ladies with younger, smoother lids and love for frost are enjoying the hauls...

I felt snobby with the other one.

I may look at the lip stuff in person on Thurs.

I have "old hag eyeball skin" too, that's why I didn't get any of the lighter colors...I plan to use the 2 darker colors I got at the outer corners. I think I can pull that off.

I'm usually a matte or pearl girl, but the original version of these I really liked. Now frosts to me are like a cross to a vampire

hilarious!

I will probably go on Thursday too. Scandelicious is the other one I may get. We'll see how it looks in person.

After seeing all those swatches I am confused. Is Center Stage a cool or a warm brown? Temptalia calls it cool, Karla warm. I will not even look at it with my backside if it is warm. Dandizette is back on my interested list if it is close to Contrast and is more indigo blue.

 

[Rinstar]

I ordered Mehr from Mickey C this morning, and really wanted to order my Peacocky stuff. I think I should wait though and just go to the counter on Thursday. That way I can see everything and make sure I get the right things. Right now, I think I'm getting: Flaunting It Peacocky Dalliance Spectacle of Yourself Paparazz-she Sex-pectations :eyelove:

 

[LeeleeBell]

I agree , I was sooo surprised by/impressed with Spectacle of yourself!! Gorgeous & so pigmented.

Spectacle of Yourself is GORGEOUS - I originally wanted Centre Stage, but when I went and swatched it I wasn't nearly as impressed, and fell in love with SoY!
