Ever! They slip and slide and I blend awful with 'em :( It's an art to prefect a cream shadow that's for bloody sure!<BR/><BR/>I'm sooooooooo tempted by these and it's great to hear positive reviews as I've only hard the worst things possible about these guys!<BR/><BR/>I'm definately getting at least one to try for myself!<BR/><BR/>i love mac a bit too much *blush* I wish I could just say no and end my love affair but it's been hard! I'm still a virgin so the novelty as yet to wear off even those it's been a while now since I began collecting!<BR/><BR/>You've no idea how excited I am for you to get that "certain little package"! I want to read your reviews and see how you like everything! I'm a bit worried with the holiday rush it'll take long but I'm crossing my fingers it'll be with you soon!<BR/><BR/>I have to say I've had some airmail take over a month and others take like 3 days so I totally know the feeling! Depends on the time of year I guess!?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment and the review of Metal X!<BR/><BR/>Hugs!the Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316544097349681503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189510981235008538.post-84268583118077567932007-12-18T19:17:00.000-05:002007-12-18T19:17:00.000-05:00Hey Musey!Well - I LOVE cream eyeshadows but I hea...Hey Musey!<BR/><BR/>Well - I LOVE cream eyeshadows but I heard so many rubbish reviews. Nevertheless through sheer subliminal messages I ended up with 5 Metal-X. I use a base and powder on top and it doesnt crease on me but its quite hard textured and yeah a bit of a pain the the butt to use.. :/ I say give it a miss if you can't be bothered with messing!<BR/><BR/>To be honest I get suckered into MAC and I use it the least. I am much more looking forward to a certain package !!! hehehehehe excited about that.<BR/><BR/>Oh Taryn - just wanted to say I was wating for a parcel from the US which was hadn't arrived 32 days after plus, Identical packages arrived after 5 days so I thought it was definately lost! but it arrived today...so - well I guess it's just patience. Who knows how many little errands our parcels make! :)www.Cosmetic-Candy.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365558745287002395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189510981235008538.post-38246327910533031952007-12-18T18:51:00.000-05:002007-12-18T18:51:00.000-05:00Hey love,Aw I'm glad it helps!And hey that's two l...Hey love,<BR/><BR/>Aw I'm glad it helps!<BR/><BR/>And hey that's two less items you don't want right?!<BR/><BR/>The good news is if you're absolutely dying for eye shimmers from stila or anything in that set have a gander on e-bay TONS around for really cheap like $5.99-$9.99!<BR/><BR/>YES! Remember the box one with the perfume!? <BR/><BR/>It's actually in my "Holiday's Past" post! Check it out! you'll probably remember it :-)<BR/><BR/>I only got the one sadly but damn if that wasn't a deal and a half!<BR/><BR/>I just think you'll buy this now and regret it later when the new spring collections are up ya know?<BR/><BR/>It's a matter of weeks now that we get a major rehaul and new hot collections will be out and we'll soon forget all our Christmas collection lemmings and move on to spring ones ;)<BR/><BR/>Especially if you're a j-cosmetic lover with all the amazing collections coming out!<BR/><BR/>Good Luck fighting the lem demon :)the Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316544097349681503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189510981235008538.post-15444038723451242682007-12-18T18:45:00.000-05:002007-12-18T18:45:00.000-05:00Yes, it does help :0 Truth be told, I'm not too cr...Yes, it does help :0 <BR/>Truth be told, I'm not too crazy about the two lipstick colors, the three eyeshadow colors, or the eye shimmers....so yes, I think I will wait. =)<BR/>OMG, $49 for the previously $150 stash?! Please tell me you bought three of them! ;) hehe, but seriously, that should be a crime. It's no wonder I'm grinding my nails in the evening doing "should I, should I not," with a flower ("he loves me, he loves me not.."). <BR/>Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189510981235008538.post-61067525673975548322007-12-18T18:42:00.000-05:002007-12-18T18:42:00.000-05:00ps notice how the set has the old packaging I bet ...ps notice how the set has the old packaging I bet the packaging changes soon so this is there way of cleaning out.<BR/><BR/>Especially the shimmers which haven't had a revamp of packaging in ages and ages!the Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316544097349681503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189510981235008538.post-52975757333208270032007-12-18T18:39:00.000-05:002007-12-18T18:39:00.000-05:00hey roxii.if my grammer is off or my spelling chal...hey roxii.<BR/><BR/>if my grammer is off or my spelling chalk it up to the fact i'm replying to this via my phone! Sorry in advance ;)<BR/><BR/>I'm like that. I'm one for diving in and purchasing large quantities of MAC like it's the end of the world as we know it and I might need MAC for end of the world survival or something very important!<BR/><BR/>The texture on these is very strange and I've heard so many poor reviews I'm naturally weary (for once that's rare) so I might swap for a shadow and see how it works out before diving in! I'm playing with caution! who would have thought it possible for me!<BR/><BR/>It's hard to say on the Stila collection. <BR/><BR/>Remember the collection from two years ago in the box? Was $150 as well I believe. I waited, waited, and waited some more to purchase it even though my lemming was hard for it. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad I did because I ended up nabbing it from the Stila Warehouse sale for...wait for it...$49<BR/><BR/>so go firgure.<BR/><BR/>That set is well worth your $150 but ask yourself if 1. It'll be around next year when Sephora Friends and Family rolls around (probably it will even thought they do the normal jig about how amazingly LE it is) and 2. can you get someone on MUA to nab it during the warehouse sale in LA!<BR/><BR/>It's so difficult to make the choice. I'd say go for it if it's what you really really want right now. I'm even tempted as hell it's a butt load of cosmetics for a really low cost.<BR/><BR/>If you're lemming can be controlled I'd say wait for it and see if you can nab it at a later date for heaps less!<BR/><BR/>If you love Stila I'd say dive in as well.<BR/><BR/>Personally, honestly, I'd wait. Spring collections are here within a few weeks and I'm positive something will pop that you want way more than this set!<BR/><BR/>Yes it's alot of yummie stuff but nothing you can't live without right?!<BR/><BR/>Unless you're a diehard fan!<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps love!<BR/><BR/>Hugs!the Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316544097349681503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189510981235008538.post-66046800269572712422007-12-18T18:24:00.000-05:002007-12-18T18:24:00.000-05:00On a quick note, I agree: one of my MAC-crazed fri...On a quick note, I agree: one of my MAC-crazed friends bought the ENTIRE collection and...well, to be honest, she was depressed :/ (this is rare for her to admit this, because she'd defend MAC to her death :P But, her depression is understandable, since she did spend hundreds of dollars on it). <BR/>Now, it is I who has a question for you :)<BR/>I waited for two weeks until Sephora had Stila's $150 Collection of $400 worth of makeup. They have it now...I was wondering your opinion on the matter. <BR/>Should I even bother? Would I feel like I got my money's worth? <BR/>Thank you :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189510981235008538.post-23613280294278106302007-12-18T14:09:00.000-05:002007-12-18T14:09:00.000-05:00yay taryn!!!!!!Fantastic!

Turns out it was the express postman (or whatever they call him) bringing my package!<BR/><BR/>My husband held the box over his head and I started jumping for it! (I can't believe I'm admitting this on a public blog.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm going to take pictures and I'll send you one.

One that I'm due to receive is apparently lost, another one I sent out a month ago never made it there, and now this. So you can see why I think it might be AWOL for good!<BR/><BR/>I am going to visit my P.O. and see what they have to say. The guy is normally good about the slips, but who knows, maybe he forgot this time. Keep your fingers crossed!<BR/><BR/>PS...I have the Metal X in Pure Ore and found it didn't crease on me (and my lids are oily), but that could be because it's such a light shade that if there was creasing, it was barely noticeable.Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354114903953818578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189510981235008538.post-65294383683497725112007-12-18T10:12:00.000-05:002007-12-18T10:12:00.000-05:00Morning Taryn!I wouldn't worry honey!

My JPMon order shows that it's in JFK in NYC (and has been since 12/14) and it still hasn't come. The mailman came and went today and brought nothing! When I used EMS shipping with Iris's CPs for me, it always came within three days.<BR/><BR/>*sob* I'm hoping it's not lost. Thanks for letting me vent my worries. :-(Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354114903953818578noreply@blogger.com
