I'm thinking of skipping this collection... but I'm afraid I'll have skipper's remorse over the ombre blushes.

Get the blushes, ladies!!! They're too pretty to pass up, and can always return them.
I'll be your enabler for this collection.

*whispers* get the blushes *whispers*

And i wish i had gotten TM but Temptalias review wasnt great so i passed on that whole collection!!! I love a lustre nude, its great for days where u dont wanna keep looking in a mirror while reapplying. i can pretty much put my makeup on in the dark tho lol.
I was thrilled that T gave TM at bad review as it meant that I could place several orders as it did not sell out too fast.

I love T's blog, but I only go there for the swatches. I respect her opinion, but I have to keep in mind that just because she didn't experience any creasing or fading doesn't mean I'm not going to have any of those issues. For example, she gave the NYX Jumbo Pencils a grade of A , so silly me (this was about 4 years ago) ordered practically every color when NYX had their 50% off sale... and they creased on me almost immediately. Lesson learned.

Back to topic... Pinkfringe looks so pretty! But I must resist... I have a lot of lippies to get between By Request, Playland, and Patentpolish.

I have oily eyelids, and i dont think T does. So i always have to see for myself. luckily mac paint pots or paint never crease, or nars shadow primer. But i remember when i wore drugstore makeup before my mac days (11 yrs ago) i creased every day a few hrs into the day. That is good to know, i hear non stop how amazing the NYX pencils are but have been skeptical cuz im a creaser!!!!

And im pretty sure these blushes will sell out super quick, so if u buy them and dont like them u could always sell them in the CB and get your money back atleast!!!!! im remembering how fast all the ombre blushes sold out and that is why i dont have any and im going out of my way to make sure i get one of each of these!!!! I recently acquired a ombre blush from el i LOVE it!!!

Yep. That's why I love MAC Paint Pots... and MUFE Aqua Creams.

It's funny to read that Temptalia is anti-mac. I don't get that vibe at all. I don't think she's out to get mac or turn her back on it. It's just about one woman, a blogger, with a high profile spewing her opinion. What she likes or doesn't like is being shared with the public, but it's not like her word is gospel. I've bought products that she thought were poor and I thought they were magnificent on me. I don't think she's purposefully leading people astray. Perhaps her tastes have changed. Hell, I know my standards have been raised since I stepped out of Mac years ago and tried other brands. Sometimes what used to cut it for you just doesn't cut it now. I also think sometimes we are oversensitive about the brands we love. I know I have had to catch myself when that happens (with MUFE or Chanel). I don't think she's out there purposefully being anti-mac. It's just things not working for her or up to her standard and that's why, like I said before, I just want pictures and then I'll decide if something works for me. That's how I feel about it.
Agreed. I'm not a huge fan of Guerlain or Hourglass but those are her jams, and it's her blog and her opinions. I think she's become quite disillusioned with MAC and may come down harder on them sometimes, almost like a boyfriend that has disappointed you too many times and you just expect the worst. I'm an old person, I loved MAC in the mid to late 90's, now I'm not nearly as starry eyed. But really no company makes me feel that way so it's probably a product of experience and over exposure. Agreed about charming Karen- what doesn't she love? There is one unnamed "blog" that I find unbearable because every single freaking item that was "sent for review" has this ridiculously written puff piece on it. I can't even stand to give that particular site traffic because it gives me a case of the Jimmy fists to read her shameless shilling.

I'd love to know who you're talking about. :sneaky: Karen and Christine's blogs are the ones I check daily. I usually only end up on other blogs through google searching for swatches on products I'm interested in. I know I was in love w/ Mac when I first started buying it and then when they began to disappoint me I was really harsh about it. I'm the same way w/ my sports teams. That's just what we do when we love something and expect more because you know they can do better.
