So I already bought Hidden Treasure and yesterday I went to Amsterdam in the hope that I would find it at Bijenkorf but it was sold out and they were enumerating at the Pro Store so it was closed grr. So last night I ordered Supercontinental en Red Racer off MAC's site.. can't wait to get package!

I think most people are saying it has very little colour. Some are even comparing it to a lip balm.Finally Style Seeker is on UK website.. I'm about to place an order but I'm debating about Fashion Nomad lipstick. I wonder how bright it is.
I wish I lived closer to MAC store so I could check it out.
From the swatches it looks very appealing.
I don't know what to do

Thats strange, cos on lip swatches it looks soo pigmented. On the other hand, it is possible to sheer it out then, which is what I want

Fashion Nomad is indeed VERY pigmented. According to T's website it's like a brighter version of Booyah, and i already found that one very bright.Thats strange, cos on lip swatches it looks soo pigmented. On the other hand, it is possible to sheer it out then, which is what I want
I think LyseD is accidently mixing this up with the Tropical Mist l/s from the Carine Roitfeld collection
ETA: hehe thought so ^^ Don't worry LyseD, with the numerous lipsticks that MAC releases like every month it's certainly human to get confused with their names sometimes

Lol thank you girls anyway.
I'm still not sure. I just love how it looks on other people but I'm afraind, even if I do like it, I may not use it very often..
Anyways, I hope I'll decide by the end of today..))

The closest CCO to me is about an hour away. I went once - it's tiny and didn't have a very good selection of MAC. I don't know if that's typical of that particular one... but the salesgirl said they get a lot of traffic. Oh, well. I suppose i can try calling them...

One hour is not too bad. I would call and ask at what time of the month they get new stuff. The good stuff is usually gone the weekend after they get it.

Does anyone know if the color in OTH is like Mythical?

I re-swatched Marché Aux Puces yesterday. I think it's pretty and the orange looks more like a golden orange on me. I would've gotten it if it wasn't sold out. But, I don't feel bad about not getting it either. I don't feel haunted by it. I think I would feel that way if I didn't get On the Hunt. So with that, here's my final haul from this collection.
- Local Wares Fluidline x2
- Dark Diversion Fluidline BU
- Rich Ground Fluidline
- Restless Lipglass x2
- Eclectic Edge Lipglass x2
- Ready to Roam Lipglass x2
- Camden Chic Mattene
- Eden Rouge Mattene
- Fashion Nomad Mattene (returned)
- On the Hunt Eye Shadow Duo

Cartoon Chic, you sure... I'm loving MAP. the brown is such a pretty red/brown, and the orange is the perfect golden/orange.

Here are some unsolicited comparison swatches. I was swatching colors for myself and thought I'd share.
Caqui - Eclectic Edge - Rivera Life
Eclectic Edge has more coral in it than I thought. You can really see it next to Caqui. Rivera Life looks more orange in comparison.
Nitro:Licious2046 - Ready to Roam - Send Me Sailing - Cult of Cherry - Ready to Roam
Ready to Roam is very close to Cult of Cherry. They both have a tinge of pink, but Cult of Cherry has more shimmer particles and applies more sheer to the lips. Nitro:Licious is brighter than Send me Sailing.

I do like it. I'll get it if it's restocked, but I don't have the urge to hunt it down.

....and I think you can pair it with OTH ;-) LOL I understand, if I hadn't gotten it, I probably would feel the same.

I've been wearing it every day this whole week! I've been trying different brushes - mostly used the 188, but after seeing Rollerball from 1975 over the weekend, I got inspired by the vast amount of brick red contouring in the actresses' makeup (really awesome '70s makeup in this one - it's practically worth it just for the fashions and MU design).i wore hidden treasure today. using a stippling brush make the color very easy nd natural.
I took a small pointed powder brush and did a somewhat triangular contour with it just under the cheekbone hollows, then softened the line out with a 129. Used a touch of Ring of Saturn on the cheek bone ridge above it. It looked awesome!!! Not exactly for casual day wear, but it was bad ass and I'll be doing it up whenever it's rock 'n roll black jeans time.
I can't find many good stills from Rollerball, but the whole film is on youtube - not with very good color quality, though, so the first rate MU is hard to see. 'Just a taste:
