I'm tempted to get a backup of Instant Chic, but it will take me quite a bit of time to get through a blush. I have so many and I plan to buy more so I won't be using it every day. I do want a backup of Maid to Order, though. A coral lipstick that works? Hell yeah!

OK, ladies who have seen this in person...

What's the real scoop on Gazette Grey? I keep going back and forth on if I *need* it or not.... (lets face it, I don't *need* anything at this point!

)

I like the color but if it is a total pain to work with then it won't be worth it.

Also, does it kind of resemble Saturnal from a while ago or are my eyes fooling me?

Thanks!

I am wondering about GG too. Erin did mention that it reminded her of Saturnal.

 

[shontay07108]

I don't find Gazette Grey necessary AT ALL. I think people are pretty divided. Either you're a fan or not. I swatched it and I can't really say if it's hard to work with and I can't compare it to Saturnal b/c that's from before I was a Mac girl, but I was completely underwhelmed by it. I swatched it and said NEXT!

I keep feeling like I need GG as well but I know I will never reach for it. I just need to stick with my original pre-order and start saving for the beach collection.

I always hate to skip eye shadows though. BTW I think that Saturnal is much darker and browner than GG. GG was more of a light army green/gray.

 

[AudreyNicole]

Umm, is anyone else kind bugged that they used Melba blush in the Pret a Papier look? Now I am wondering if I need to check that out too??

See, next to teals, greens are my favorite. I have alot of bright greens, but my more "wearble" green collection seems to be lacking. GG is totally going to drive me insane.

I don't know if I can wait til Thursday. I may need to go check this stuff out tomorrow and just go back to pick it up on Thursday.

Skip it! It is part of the perm line and you can get it anytime. I have Melba and have used it once in three years. Just sayin!

Katie, were you at all drawn to any of the other shadows? I hate skipping e/s too... I always regret it. Do you already have Memoribilia or no?

I hate when they use products outside of the collection b/c that makes me think about getting them. It's wild that for one of the looks they lined the lips with Nightmoth and filled it in with Made to Order. I don't like that very much.

I have memoribilia and bamboo already and the only shadow I was really drawn to was tissue weight. I cannot pass up highlight shades! I for some reason have a strange obsession with them. I keep thinking about GG though. I am going to try and stay strong and just keep with my original pre-order of tissue weight e/s, instant chic e/s, and dressmaker dressmaker lipstick.

Thanks Shontay!

I am trying to skip this collection too so we will see what happens come swatches

Oopsy I am bothering you again

May I ask, which MUFE e/s was it?

 

[GlamYOURUs]

I was really thinking of skipping this collection entirely but I can't!

I was already looking into Memorabilia and Bamboo before this collection ever came about. So I will be getting those for sure. I am still not too sure about the coral paintpot, it sure is pretty but I don't think it will get much use. Instant Chic sounds so pretty and from the swatches, looks pretty too. But I am still on the fence about this one since I have quite a few peach blushes.

 

[GlamQueen21]

If Coral Crepe p/p and Instant Chic does sell out before I purchase them online Thursday, I shall do a CP for both of them.

 

[elegant-one]

I was so on the fence about coral pp

It looks kinda different in some of the swatches. I love corals

 

[GlamYOURUs]

It does look different elegant and so does Instant Chic. I am surprised that there aren't many swatches though of this collection or am I not paying much attention. Oh well, will have to see this in person as usual.

It's not a problem. It's #126.

 

[AudreyNicole]

Yeah, I am kind of surprised at the lack of "buzz" about this collection. It seems all hush, hush. It's weird.

 

[GlamYOURUs]

lol I think I know why.

Around the globe, people have just now finished their Spring Forecast haul and are now ogling over GMLOL. Andddd they are not done yet!

So it would be hard for them to move onto something new.

Totally Kidding!
