They still have them all in stock here in Spain. They don't seem to be very popular, they didn't even show them to me at the stand, they only showed me indulge which was almost all sold out!

I used Deeply Dashing today and I love it. Favorite of the pack so far. This is gonna get a lotta rotation this fall. It reminded me of Sparkle Neely Sparkle but with silver glitter. So glad I was enabled here on this thread.

I only have Jet Couture but I'm so obsessed with it, I love it! I'm really upset that I missed out on Pink Pepper and Damson. Especially Damson. MAC needs to make it permanent for me!

Fantastic eye look with Damson today.

Line the upper lids with Avenue f/l (wow, this is a great liner color to go with Damson) - don't wing out dramatically, but get a nice wedge going on. Use what's left on the brush to define under the center of the lower lid.
Damson all over the lids (I used my beloved silicon applicator).
I could have stopped right here, but I decided to define the crease and contour a little bit under the brow bone with Beluga using a pencil brush #219, then blend in smoothly with a 226 and use what's left on the brush (mixture of Beluga + Damson) to smudge lightly under the eye. This looks so excellent and not too heavy for day. If I'd wanted to fancy it up more, I could have used Let's Skate p/p as a base for all of it, to make it more sparkly.

I also used a great cheek that's been a real go-to lately: Rio all over the cheekbones and temples for definition with what's left lightly over the rest of the cheek, then a touch of Hot Nights high on the apples (Rio underneath really softens Hot Nights and Hot Nights takes away a little of the shimmer of Rio - they work together super well)

I used Baking Beauty MLB because my lips were chapped today and this honestly doesn't need more on the lips, but By Design or Smash Hit or even Utterly Tart or Liqueur or Runway Hit would have worked equally well - even FOD!

I wish I wasn't just at home doing chores, lol. I will need to do this look a lot. It's perfect for this time of year.

Oh, and I have Birefringence on my nails, which is an awesome contrast:

Finally wore Deeply Dashing. I ended up at Picadilly's and one of the workers complimented me on my makeup and she gave extra attention to my eyes. She said it's too pretty for Picadilly's. LOL! I told her I was going somewhere else too. Deeply Dashing is

Score!! Sometimes(mostly) is it worth it to give into all the enabling here. SNS was not on my radar at all when it came out. Looked pretty in pan but wasn't sure it would translate well on my skintone. I can see how those two would actually work nicely together. Might be sparkle over load though lol.

I did not like SNS... so I don't think you missed anything.

Thank you for the ideas for combining products. I am doing your look tomorrow. Been wondering what to pair with damson. I can't do fluidline all over, its too drying for my delicate skin but I may try it with Stormy pink PP instead. Using Beluga with it is brilliant!

I only lined with avenue…didn't use a base; although i think let's skate or perky would be nice

First Richelle's rec and now THIS!!!!??? How am I supposed to resist tracking this down NOW!!! Soooo beautiful and multi dimensional! Gorgeous eye look and PERFECT recommendation Richelle! GO TEAM SPECKTRETTES!
It was limited edition, so it's really hard to find it in stores anymore.

I bought it on Ebay from this seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251303284733?var=550261244280&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
