I would check your local CCO. I've seen a lot of lip brushes lately (even ones that were d/c a few years ago). I stocked up a ton of them.



I SO wish we had CCOs. None here, alas. There are a few older items (like Morning Frost PP) that I'd love to get my hands on.

I'm picky about lip brushes. I like them to retract (so they can travel) and I don't like when they are so teeny that it takes me 10 minutes to apply lipstick. Also, I need at least three because I don't like using the 'red' one for nudes, etc. My older ones got tossed some time ago and I haven't replaced them. I always think that retracting the brush means bacteria enters the empty tube and starts multiplying and then gets back on the brush the next time it's retracted. Not that I've given this any thought. LOL

Under sunlight, the mattenes plus Marche duo and fluidlines (Dark Diversion and Local Color)



Under indoor lighting. Note that I had to abbreviate the color names as I used eyeliner.

Delectable didn't work on me :(

I ended up with Hidden Treasure and it is gorgeous. Really, it's like nothing I have.

Now that I am back to work, I can barely keep up with this thread! I am also exhausted, but I dragged my butt into MAC today to see the collection. My haul so far is Hidden Treasure, Supercontinental, Marches, On the Hunt, Local Wares, Dark Diversion, Camden Chic, & Restless. I thought it was interesting that Delectible was already sold out. I swatched it and it was pretty, but being a repromote I didn't expect it to go that fast! I asked my MAC SA how it sold so quick, and he commented that MAC is sending less and less products to the stores and starting to make their collections even more LE. (my MAC counter is in a Macy's, so I don't know if this makes a difference regarding stock or not. My guess would be yes.). He said they got three tubes total, and one had to be made into a tester. Also said they only got six each of each of the duos. The only items I am still slightly interested in is Delectible and the orange LG (can't remember the name as I am too tired!).

Thank you for including Wicked Ways in the pic! I have to wear WW more often! Venomous Villains was a nice collection. I've been wearing Oh So Fair BP and Briar Rose BP for the last few days. They look so lovely together.

I went to the local counter tonight to check out the collection. The blush were long gone (the MUA said they sold out within moments of the store opening), but I swatched and ultimately bought both Marché aux Puces and On the Hunt. I really like both and there wasn't a thing wrong with the pigmentation of the samples I swatched. I haven't cracked mine open yet but I'm sure they're fine too.

None of the colours are dupes of what I have, so I'm very glad I got them. I had expected to buy the e/s all along but my interest in the collection fizzled along the way. This is really my colour family though so I'm looking forward to building some new fall looks with them. The MUA pointed out that I've bought hundreds of dollars of product from her and never had my makeup done so I have an appointment for that over the long weekend. That will be fun - I haven't had my makeup done by someone else for years.

Total haul:

Marché aux Puces
On the Hunt
Local Wares
Camden Chic (only item I'm not loving although I know most do like the mattenes)

Already owned:
Dark Diversion
Rich Ground
Blacktrack

I'm seriously considering Mean and Green. I'm trying to convince myself that I'd never wear it, but what a fun pedi colour!

You're welcome! I loved Oh So Fair but didn't buy it... it was a teensy bit light for me anyway but I bet it looks beautiful on you! I agree, VV was a good collection. :)

My sister & I are checking out the collex tomorrow. I'll see if I make off with anything. I doubt it though, my no buy is creeping up on me.

So I checked it out and the brown in MAP, is not like saddle at all, but a little like brown down. I have about 4 golds, and I'm sure I can dupe the gold, even the MAC convinced me to pass on it. I am kinda tempted to get it.

I bought
worldly wealth
hidden treasure

local wares

ecletic edge this is the best orange ever!!! Hands down it is better than A rivera life, caqui and any other orange. It kinda reminds me of what kumquat looked like on me, and like an idiot, I gave it away.
Ready to Roam is also awesome. I like this better than any other red lip gloss out there too. They both seem a lil more toned down, which for me is perfect.
I agree they are very very smooth.

On the Hunt. the shades remind of of expensive pink. The tester swatched kinda patchy, but I bought it b/c of the look the MA did. So we'll see. I'm still tempted to get MAP. I have a gold from Naked, Kat Von D, and Hey Sailor. I don't need to spend $28 for one almost unique color. (c'mon antienablers, I need you!!!!)

Speaking of Kumquat, I had to google spring color forecast to remember the name of the gloss. I wish they'd bring those palettes back. I had just gotten into MAC, and got the purple one. I ignored everything else b/c I was not into eyeshadow, but now I want the golden amber one, pink shades, and pink burst l/s. LOL Ah well


So back to MAP, do I need it? I was looking at my stash and realized I had a rainbow of neutrals with a few pops of color.
