I gave my local MAC a call this morning because I wanted to know if Shape & Sculpt was the collection that was released yesterday. Turns out it was The Originals instead launching a week early while Shape & Sculpt is still on for 12/26. So I immediately told them which items I wanted on hold just in case they were already sold out by the time I was able to get to the store. I knew Parrot was going to go fast as well as the Reflects Glitter so I wanted to make sure I still had a chance at having my pick.
I really like Parrot, Ochre Style, and Clue. Parrot and Ochre Style are fairly bold in their range of color whereas Clue seems the most versatile of the bunch as a blender and crease color. I can see myself being able to match Clue with a variety of looks because it's a midtone gray with a bit of brown. Definitely my pick for blending and creating a subtle depth in the crease. The others I picked up purely just because I don't have much in my collection in terms of grays, Memorabilia because I'm a purple fanatic, and Frisco because I believe this matted pink will work with many of the colors I bought today.
And I ADORE the reflects glitters!! They would add just the right touch to any look and are the absolute must-haves if you want to take advantage of something. I highly recommend the Antique Gold. They were already out of that one when I put my stuff on hold over the phone and the release was yesterday! Also check out Christine's swatches of the PRO Reflects Glitters. *drool*

Jealous much?
Dang Mrs! You hauled....very pretty stuffs, too. I copped Ochre Style (wait...how do you pronounce that? hehe) and A Little Folie. I'm still on the fence about Parrot. MAC gurus rave about it but is it me or does it look similar to Shimmermoss (or Waternympth which came out in the Lure collection)? I was so excited about it but it looks like something similar that I have. I can't wait to see the new looks you do with your haul!
omg i want all of the reflect glitter! that's all i have to say while i drool over christine's pictures.
Divine: I have no idea how to pronounce it, lol. The way I think it in my head sounds very ugly if I was to actually say it. Does that make sense? You know, I didn't even think of Shimmermoss. But now that I've put them next to each other, Parrot has more of a bluish shimmer in comparison to Shimmermoss which has more of a green shimmer to it. I've only seen Waternympth in FOTDs but I imagine it is very close.
Chi: Right?!? And what's sooo great is that a little goes a LOOOONG way. I put the brush just in the cap (not even moving it around!!) and it was already causing some serious bling action, lol.
Wow, that is a heck of a haul girl. LOL! :D The Blackened Red Glitter looks like such a gorgeous shade! I also like Alum and Memorabilia, and Clue... and Frisco. LOL. I pretty much like everything you got. LOL. I can't wait till I grow up, so then I can afford stuff like this. LOL!
The specks on the Blackened Red are so yummy. I am so in love with the glitters. They add just the right amount of umph, hah.
wowwww i'm in envy of your haul....i swatched the reflects cuz i wasn't sure how i could wear it...i'd love to see you use it in one of your FOTDs.
by the way, i'm counting the days till 12/26 when the sculpting duos come out!
yay! i can't even see your pics right now but i'm excited about your haul!! i only wanted parrot and some reflects glitters. i'm glad you like them too.. others think i'm crazy cuz i want some glitter.... but it's soooooo pretty!..and it's refined and not as chunky as regular glitter right?
I'm loving the Clue, blackened red, and Ochre! Everytime I see the name ochre I think of okra! LOL
Good Haul!
Ren: When I use the Reflects Glitter in one of my FOTDs, I'll take pictures of the look before and after apply it so everyone can see the difference :)
You and me both!! I am really looking forward to Sculpt & Shape. We don't have any PRO stores on the island so I get all excited for PRO releases, hah. Plus, I'm just purely interested in the idea of contouring and highlighting.
Yummy411: The glitter is amazing!! They are incredibly soft and very VERY fine. Not chunky at all and I love that they glide on smoothly. I'm still drooling over them, hah!
Shawnta: I totally think of okra too. I'm thinking it's kinda like Ogre except with a K sound in place of the G. But I will still refer to it as "that one" hah. I love the stuff. We have a really good rib joint here that has some really good deep fried okra, yum!
I just picked up Parrot and Memorabilia is right up my alley but I have a lot of purples. I'm actually super excited for the lip colors. I definitely want Full On Lust, Utter Pervette, and Real Desire.
Can't wait to see more looks from you, Mrs. Lynne!
Have a happy holiday! :)
Nilla: The lip colors look divine. I want to see you do your Full On Lust look! Hubba, hubba.
Thanks and you have a wonderful holiday as well :)
Nice haul!
Nessa: Salamat mahal :) (i hope that's right, lol)
