I was a bit disappointed seeing this in person today. I expected to walk away with pretty much one of everything, but I didn’t do nearly as much damage as expected.

The skinetone e.s. quad was an absolute must – the colours are so gorgeous and will be perfect for the fall. I was very disappointed with the colour pay-off of the other two quads, though. The purple one was particularly disappointing – the two lightest shades hardly show up when swatched, even on my fair skin!

Even after trying on the lipsticks, I found that they leaned a little too much towards the brown for me which I just can’t quite carry off without looking sickly. I totally had my eye on “The Perfect Cheek” too, but for some reason it just didn’t do it for me in person.

Ah well, the one quad was stellar enough to make up for the rest of the collection, and this just means the ol’ wallet will get a little rest before the other collections come out!

Yes, High Strung was a re-promote from Perverted Pearl 2002. It is the “Pamela Anderson” nude pink frosty lip color

Personal Taste is a gorgeous shade in person. At my Nordstrom MAC counter,they are actually taking pre-orders so when the collection is released this Thursday, I can just go and pick them up. I was able to swatch and view the entire collection including the nail polish collection coming up on the 27th of August.

I pre-ordered the following:
Personal Taste Lipglass (so pretty!)
In the Gallery Quad (the quad actually does say In the Gallery and not Private Viewing)
Violet Trance, Purple Shower and Maira’s Mood eye shadows
Cool Reserve Nail Lacquer (which reminds me a bit of Call Your Mother by OPI for Sephora except this is a lighter version- pls let me know if I’m wrong)

Still thinking about (they are so pretty in person):
Heritage Rouge, Push the Edge & Cocomotion Pigments

The Private Viewing one is actually called IN THE GALLERY not private viewing… you should change that.
