I totally agree! It’s the first eyeshadow I have that I actually hit pan on! I loved it, and I looked everywhere for a dupe as soon as I hit pan but I’m glad it’s going to be out on its own and I’m so getting it. I actually gasped when I saw Hey and read its description =D

Didn’t Sorcery come out with Magical, Myth and Mirth? That was the only shade that drew me to the warm palette, maybe now I can just get the shadow! 🙂

My MAC counter gal told me in a week or two (cant recall) MAC is releasing 14 new “Pop” colors to be part of the regulars collection. She said they were told about it last minute, any word or sneak peeks on the new permanent colors? Her reference to me was, “Pop Eye Shadows”.

Have used a bunch of different night moisturizers in the past and NONE compare to the Made from Earth Vitamin Enhanced Moisturizer. The cream doesn’t smell all fruity like the others I’ve used.

The cream really penetrates the skin, doesn’t just sit on top of skin making your face look like you brushed oil on it. It balances the tone of my ruddy dry blotchy complexion and moisterizes very well. Even upon waking up my skin looks great. My skin looks and feels hydrated. Definitely recommended for women who are looking to even their skin tone and have a glowing look on their face.

I have something very similar to the prep +prime that is Asia exclusive-bought it last summer in Taiwan and works wonders! I’m not sure if it’s the exact same product, but sounds similar. The +++ signs means it blocks out different TYPES of UV rays, unlike US sunblock which only blocks UVBs (correct me if I’m wrong.) I can’t wait to go back and stock up on more!

I want to get Prep + Prime Fortified Skin Enhancer SPF 35/PA+++ in Neutralize!!! Sounds perfect for my skin which is red and blotchy!!!!

Ah I bought ‘Hey’ today, it’s awesome, I love veluxe pearls! It’s everything I wanted ‘Claire de lune’ to be but wasn’t! Nicely pigmented, it’s great. ‘Prepped for Glamour’ seemed to me like a less intense version of ‘Satin Taupe’, the skin brightening serum felt really nice though!

I think the MAC store in the nearby mall made a mistake. I saw this collection on sale yesterday.
There was a fourth shadow…a gray-ish metallic color. Very pretty. I only ended up picking up the lipglass. The color is bright and is more on the opaque side(my lips are naturally very pigmented). I love it!

Shannon

I don’t understand why there are U.S & Canadian prices for the Fortified Skin Enhancer if it’s only available in Asia???

Dusty

In yet another shining example of “no one knows what the hell is going on” I finally made it to the MAC counter at MACY’s yesterday to take a look at this and pick up the gloss…. And they never received this collection. They said they thought it “might be” a freestanding store only launch.

The only real complaint I’ve ever had about MAC: If you have a question about something, EVERYONE YOU ASK gives you a different answer (the worst part of it is that each person always claims to be the “authority” on the subject). I’m not even talking about the salespeople, the corporate offices will all give you different answers (although, the most common answer I’ve ever heard from MAC is “I don’t know.”) Haha! Gotta love it 😉 It doesn’t stop me from shopping… It’s just kind of… Strange!

I feel ya… like the B2M policy which is ALL. OVER. THE. PLACE. So, so frustrating. At least for B2M, I usually do a LiveChat (which seems consistent, at least on their end) so I can print out, “YES, you can do that!”

Dusty

Wow that’s a good idea – I never thought of that! I’ll have to try that sometime 😉 Luckily that MAC counter near where I am takes just about anything for B2M – Other stores won’t take special LE packaging, etc. My MAC counter doesn’t even open the bag and look at what I bring them – Which either means they trust me completely or they don’t give a sh*t. I hope they just trust me! Hah! 🙂

I went to a MAC counter yesterday thinking I would get at least one of the the Prep + Prime Fortified Skin Enhancer SPF 35/PA+++. I was looking at the different “colors” when a MUA came up next to me saying I should get the purple one. She said she’s wearing it right now and the second I look at her I know I am not going to get any of the three. She has a layer of oil all over her face. It was so shiny I worried her makeup might just slid off her face! I have oily skin so I always prefer something matt. I am so glad I saw her so I don’t have to pay for something I would never use…
