I am only keeping TV because of the purple color to use as eyeshadow. I would totally return it if purples things didn't have a hold on me mentally.

I so wish that Nars would release more matte blushes. I have never tried their lippies, maybe one day.

Ok, so I have some news!!! Erin or anyone else that works for MAC can clarify if this is true or not- but my MA told me 2 things today:
1.- The Cremesheens would NOT be permanent at MAC Macys counters yet. He said they will wait and see how well they do in sales. If people go crazy buying them, then they will have them permanent.
2.- He was also telling me I had time to buy backups of the liners. He said that the lip liners in this collection were PERMANENT- but only at MAC stores, not counters!!!
Someone here that works for MAC- are these true???????????????????? I think I'm going to ask another MA when I go over the weekend

That's odd
I've never seen that status ever! I hope you get your goodies soon!!!!

I was the same way. I asked to pick my own. The MA that was working with me said sure with no problems, but another MA was like ummm they're all the same! lolol I was like NO THEY'RE NOT!!! And that was the same MA that got annoyed when I was choosing my Perfect Topping MSF when it came out
. I wanted more purple veining! She was like "when you swirl them together you're going to get the same results". Only us MAC addicts know there IS a difference
I'm glad I was able to choose my own because I might have got one with more pink. I think then it would have definitely been super similar to Love Rock. When I swatch just the pink part alone of Two Virtues- it is super close to Love Rock, except that Two Virtues is a bit darker. It's the violet part that makes the difference.

The only way that I can get TV to look more violet than Love rock is to rub the violet part with my clean fingers and apply it on my cheeks after I am done putting the blush on with my brush. I want to get Bi-tone now because of the dusky gold but I must save for Liberty of London. |

I'm going to assume Macys and Nordies MAC get the same update book as the store....i mean, they go to the same training and that would be weird if they got different books. I'm not an employee so I can't 100% confirm.....i'm just an addict that was nosey

I am heading to check out this collection this afternoon. I usually buy stuff from online, but I really want to see these blushes in person. Although my dear makeup twin has warned that I'll want them all (I'm going to *try* and limit myself to 3)......I love MB...<sigh>
Unless the lip liners really wow me, I think I'll skip them. I would rather put the money towards GMLOL.
I'll definitely report back later today!

Yes, the first girl I asked seemed kinda rude when she said "they are all the same" and I had to explain to her for what seemed like an hour while she had this "I know more than you because I work at MAC" expression. Then she walked away saying she was helping someone else. This is the same girl who said the new MAC pigments were excatly the same, just repackaged.
Luckily, another MA that knows me helped me way better. This is why when I get MSF's I just go straight to the shelf and pick one out instead of going through the trouble of explaining...but these blushes were hidden.

Well my 2 virtues has 2 very small squiggles of the violet
It def. does not have much violet tone to it which disappointed me. However, its still pretty & I actually loved it as an eyeshadow.
Naked liner is absolutely fabulous! I am so glad I ordered another right away after Audrey's review!
Naked is not only perfect for muting the lip color, but its great to go around the outside of your lips (blend lightly with your fingers) to give them a crisp defined look. reshape - define that cupids bow
It also is so perfect for concealing the ruddiness around the outside corners of the lips, nose folds & outer corners of the eyes - or wherever there is shadowing. I am however a very fair NW15. I haven't tried it on the inner eye rim - I think I would prefer a waterproof liner there. But this color is PERFECTION.
I also layered In Synch & Trimmed in Pink over Naked - LOVE! Any various lip colors will be fun to try over these pencils. I only tried Pure Rose over Naked & it was beautiful - really makes the lighter lippies pop subtlely
Bring on more colors & make em perm!

I may get another Naked, too. I wasn't expecting RIT to show up, but since I got one with quite a bit of pink couple with the fact that I'm pretty pale, it is perfect for smokey-eye looks and those minimal makeup days.
DH is hauling me to Minneapolis with him on Sunday & Monday for a one day business trip and I'm gonna spend the day at the Mall of America. He bribed me with some money to spend!
I think I'm going to take a few items to B2M annnnnnd hit the Coach store. I have a 25% off coupon plus I need to exchange a Christmas present. There's purse I'm really drooling over. Plus I have a coupon to use at Anthropologie (I figure there must be one there). Gonna be a fun day!!
