 Sorry if the quality isn't the best but I wanted to share my RFL glow :) I'm wearing only RFL and Soft Serenade. On my eyes is one of those new covergirl eyeshadow pencils 'flamed out' I think they're called. It's hot and I'm ready for a nap so I just snapped a pic with my phone lol
I love the subtleness RFL gives but with a glow! It looks great on you:)

Does anyone know when the single palette with the clear lid will be available again? Been waiting for months and still no luck with obtaining one.

Wow, that's some self-control.

I thought the lipsticks and glosses were mostly awesome this time around, and I usually am not too into the non-Mineralize summer collection.

I went to town on this collection more than I would have ever expected:

Caliente, Sheer Seduction, Feel My Pulse (but I love the Dazzle finish and haven't bought most of the purply lipsticks this year)

Rhythm, Underdressed and Soft Serenade x 2 (I've been waiting for more of this type of sparkly gloss since To the Beach)

Both blushes (and I thought I wasn't going to get either - they're colors we've seen from MAC before, but seriously the nicest versions of them in a long time)

Both polishes (too damn cute to resist and will work well into fall and holiday)

Palest and darkest eye pencil (they really do not budge at all - hope they offer some colored ones in the future)

Temperature Rising quad (this was another one that I wouldn't have thought to buy, but the colors are absolutely perfect with the deeper skin tone around my eyes)

Golden Elixir (I was on the fence at first, but I really am enjoying it added to moisturizer on my shoulders and arms and am just going to push myself to use it on my face until it's a natural part of my routine)

PHEW!!! Fortunately I'm not buying any RiRi until I can see it in person and most of this year's Mineralize is not grabbing me, for a change.
GREAT haul Liba!!! I agree that the blushes are insane---love them! The NPs are really very nice too. Hope you enjoy all the stuff you "went to town on!"

This collection was mostly a skip for me. Very little worked with my coloring and tone, so money saved! Some lovely colors, but overall not for me. All I ended up picking up was:

Rhythm lipglass
Feel My Pulse lipstick

Still waiting for the LS to arrive from Belk.

Got the LG in the mail the other day from Nordstroms, and I'm hoping it's not ruined! The box and the tube itself were both really hot from the heat. I am hoping a few hours in the fridge saved it. Will have to check soon.

I wish they had made a special face powder like they usually do, ala Crew last year. The bronzers all looked like a yellowy mess on me.

I picked up sun dipped with my aao order. I was a little hesitant because I didn't know if sd or nob would've been more fitting but it's pretty nice! I'm still tempted by temp. rising quad and hoping my Nordstrom order for sheer seduction goes through. Ripe for love is looking great on everyone!!

i went past a mac counter yesterday and picked up some dupes for the temperature rising quad...my counter still had the quad, but since i have shale already and had a bunch of b2m packages, i figured i would try to compile some dupes instead! naked lunch, trax and shale were the closest dupes to the other three shades...

i picked up trax and beautymarked...and will go back later for naked lunch. i was happy to find that the beautymarked i received was just as soft as the one in the quad, not stiff like the regular tester.

i can't believe how long it took me to add trax and beautymarked to my collection! they're so pretty!

I got my sheer seduction from Nordstrom. I really like it! I was worried it would look too bronzy, but it's pretty subdued, even with the dazzle. It just looks polished. I can tell it's going to get a lot of use this summer!

It's from people using their fingers in the tester that makes them stiff.

I was worried it was going to be too bronzy as well so I passed. Then I watched someone apply it on YouTube and instantly regretted skipping it. Does it let your natural lip color show through?
