I'm almost definitely getting Lotus Blossom blush. I was gonna get the powder but I smacked myself and realized that $70 for a powder is crazy, especially for someone like me who never uses a finishing powder. Edit: I'm skipping. I forgot about MACnificent Me and I decided to use my coins in that collection. Enjoy your goodies ladies!

I'm going to predict what will happen: I will buy the two blushes right away. 2 minutes later I'll buy the blue quad in a separate order. 5 minutes of refreshing the page later j will put the other quad in my cart, close the window, reopen it and look at my cart, repeat 3X, then buy it. Then constantly refresh the page for a week putting lipstick in and out of my cart without buying it. Psychic premonition :p
I understood that this particular BP is an all over one. I don't think it's supposed to show up really (it's not a highlighter), but just make you (pale girls) look better.

I am SO conflicted on what to get. And that's if I even get through (Thinks about GV launch and shudders). At first it was almost everything, then prices and other holiday collections wised me up (plus was not thrilled with many swatches). So I decided just a blush and lipstick. Then no blush, but palette, lipstick, both brushes, and a fluid line. Then less again, and now I'm thinking palette, blush, and lipstick...maybe 129, but I'm apprehensive with the idea that it's super scratchy...I kind of HATE my 116 because of that (and the massive shedding) and only use it sparingly. Ugh.

I can't make up my mind on this. Originally I wanted all of it, but I just can't justify spending that much. I'm thinking I definitely want red water lily blush and zenith lipstick. And at least one brush, but I can't decide which. And then I look at swatches again and really want the other blush and ethereal orchid. Ugh, so torn! Guess I'll just see what happens. Still deciding if I want to stalk or take a chance and assume they'll release later in the morning like they have been doing.

I can't make up my mind either!



Wondering the same thing ...
I'm going to stalk unless I hear otherwise, I think. I wish there was like a mass text-message button for all the specktra ladies so if I catch it right away I could alert everyone at once.

Pretty sure I don't have anything to do tomorrow until almost noon, so I should be alright. I can't miss my blushes.

According to Dominic Skinners instagram the compacts for this collection are “ silk topped ” ,which makes for a very delicate make up item,

probably prone to staining if not careful. I wonder if they will come in a pouch like Chanel compacts.

Both Christine at Temptalia and Karen at MUBB suggested it almost felt vinyl, actually..so really who knows at this point? I actually almost hope for sturdier fabric because it would be easier to clean and less likely to tear. There were no mention of pouches from either of them, and Christine usually does note that, so I would assume not.

They don't come with a pouch. It kinda feels like a smooth and thin piece of paper. Whether it's fabric or paper, it doesn't feel as delicate as it looks.

The lipsticks are covered in something that I can best describe as those vinyl table cloths that are easy to wipe down. Kinda strange actually.
