That's a coincidence! Me too for exacty the same reason!VV2 would be AWESOME. At that time I was just getting into MAC but I thought everything was so expensive so I thought I'd be smart not to buy anything from VV. Stupid, stupid me.

Me too. I think I am not enjoying it as much as I could because I am using the heck out of my Gareth Pugh powder but once I get just a tiny bit of color from the sun, I am going to try and scratch pan...

FM is too light to use as an all over powder for NC 30. I do use it to set my concealer in my under eye area as well as the general area on the apples of my cheeks. It looks smooth and it brightened the area like a matte highlighter. I use mine sparingly because I don't want to run out too but I will definitely back it up if it gets repromoted.

I'd like a back up of DA l/s so I could use it more, and possibly more FM's (even though I have 3), but other than that I hope it's a new collection. Although, The Perfect Cheek blush really is perfect... ahhhh well.

MAC should consider making it permanent since so many people love it.

Many people have continually made this same statement about other MAC products as well. Unfortunately, however, it is extremely rare that MAC does this.

Yup. Me too. I've only worn it a couple of times since I bought it in fear of running out. I have CIS too but it's nothing compared to DA.

Yup, it is rare. The thing is though - they're losing profit for not making such popular things permanent. Sure the hype of them in LE form makes them sell fast, but if they are truly THAT amazing - you know people would buy it on a regular basis, making them more money in the long run.
Look at how crazy a lot of us pale girls went for it when I came out. I know I bought 3 for myself, I CP'd about 11 or 12 of them, if not more. I know Gracie CP'd at least that if not more and also bought nearly as many for herself.
FM is one of those products that is really well suited for really pale women. I think really pale women have just as hard of a time of finding something that works well for them as deep WOC do. I know I struggle finding anything that matches me 100% perfectly. There's always something *slightly* off, or it looks okay in person but in photos it still appears *slightly* too dark or too light. FM is just perfect and I think MAC would really profit from making it permanent.

I'm not fair enough for this to be used the same way as the NARS light enhancing powder, which really doesn't show on me at all (beyond having the desired effects). I love FM, but it's lighter than my skin tone. I use it lightly and it provides surprisingly good coverage and definitely helps tone down my facial redness. I think that's what I like best about it. I'm hoping it will be my summer 'foundation' as long as I can keep my skin winter pale.

Besides, BPs aren't a permanent product anyhow. They aren't gonna just up and make them permanent now, especially just because of the hype over this one colour. It isn't even a product that they've had a colour for deep WOC. They've had two colours for lighter WOC, and plenty of colours for fairer skin. It's not a product that's ready to be made perm at this point IMO.

Would love to see some matte e/s for this collection. OR, some e/s with Real VP finish (Starflash would be better but my hope for that ever happening again is diminishing)

Yay! I didn't get anything I wanted from the collection because I was traveling when it came out. And of course everything was sold out by the time I actually had time to sit and place an order. Very exciting news to hear
