Hello there!

I'm surprised Beautyscene's been so silent about this collection. I don't recall reading any Pressed Pigments news in other Dutch blogs either. Either the release is several months away or the collection won't make it here. Ah well. More dosh for other stuff

Maybe they won't release this collection here, because the Pressed Pigments weren't a big hit? I think it's a bit strange since there are new perm items in the collection.

You might have a point. All of the earlier ones are still in stock on the MAC and Douglas websites. They were LE, right?
I should be glad really. PP looks divine but I very much doubt I'd use it enough to warrant the large size and price tag. Why o why didn't MAC do these pressed piggies in regular e/s size (and price)?

Super off topic, but do you know if they have B2M in Belgium? I can swear I heard someone say that you can but all the blog posts I've seen suggest otherwise. I'm going to go on an epic depotting spree and I wouldn't mind some freebies

I think they are all perm except for 3 that came out with the Face & Body collection. I really like Damson and would get that if they release the collection here. A smaller size would indeed be great!

I don't think they have. I believe Belgium has the same rules as the Netherlands. You can B2M for perm lipsticks in Germany, but they can be difficult about depotted eyeshadow (you could try to act like they are empty Studio Finish Concealers, but I don't know if that would work). I've also B2M'ed in London in the Selfridges counter and I could use my depotted eyeshadows without a problem and I also was able to get LE lipsticks (only in normal packaging is the rule their I believe).

Thanks :)
I already ordered some empty pans from TKB Trading (thanks Erin for the tip!

) so I should be able to shift the depotted e/s. I'm going to remove the name stickers at the back though. I hope they won't moan about that.

Looks like I'll have to hang onto my little army of empty pots for longer than I thought I would. I don't see a trip to Germany or the UK in the horizon

You're welcome:)

I don't think they will mind that there won't be a sticker. The problem they had with mine is that there wasn't a pan. I might get some empty pans too if I'm going to Germany again.

Well, my Damson is supposed to arrive today (it was SOOOO gorgeous when i tested it), and Summer Honey on Friday... I've been enjoying the colors i bought so far.

--- Pink Pepper - Deep Coral with gold pearl
--- Lime Ice - Seafoam Green
--- Moth - Mauve with silver pearl
--- Black Grape - Deep aubergine with multi pearl

In the first release, i got
--- Sweet Acting - Mid-tone pink
--- Amethyst - Purple with silver undertone
--- Smoky - deep silver blue (i like it because it leans warm)
--- Light Touch - W10 (really a very pale coral)

I haven't been wearing much makeup lately, other than eyes, since i came back from camping and driving almost 6,000 miles. I've upped my skin care, since i got a little more sun than i had intended. But i think i'm about ready to start "dressing up" again.

I don't have a big fall-out problem because i use something sticky underneath and tap off any excess powder before applying it. Plus i wear glasses, so a little fall out won't be so noticeable - well, as long as it doesn't travel too far south.

I got Black Grape, but passed on Moth...I thought that BG was a more intense version of Moth. Now, I regret not getting it. Do you think they are similar?

IT is BEAUTIFUL and I will get it tomorrow. The lighting at the counter is really, really, really BAD and I know that I should swatch and walk outside to compare. MOTH will be mine tomorrow. I can see this on top of Dangerous Curvee paint pot, maybe.

I got my first PP today! Deeply dashing :D I tried quickly on my eyes just using my finger. It looked very nice but mostly just got the glittery part. I know some of these are not very pigmented but are there any ways to get the brown color to show more? These little guys are awesome, I want more! Lol
