Maybe after I graduate we'll end up in a bigger city and there will be more options -- and I'll be making more money
If I do get some Mac products I definitely want some of the fun eyeshadows -- right now I love my Maybelline mascaras and I have some lipglosses I like; but I get the most frustrated trying to find eyeshadows at the drugstores!

This is all I got, Laura and ladies! I got the D'Bohemia e/s, Oceanique e/s, Prose and Fancy e/s, Deckchair pigment, and the Flash of Flesh l/g.
The D'Bohemia e/s is more orange IRL, but is very pretty- can use boldly or sheerly. Oceanique looks like Vex, but turns up gold on my C3/NC35 skintone. Prose and Fancy- well, just turns up a pretty teal color- I love teal!
I would swatch Deckchair for you all, but it's so light and frosty when applied, it just simply wouldn't show up except for some shimmer. I've seen pics on other boards where you can't see it- because it is very light and frosty. It's def. not what you would expect.
Flash of Flesh is so pretty- a peachy pink with tons of sparkles. I've heard it described as a lighter shade of enchantress and the MA today said it looks like Love Nectar. I don't know about the Love Nectar comparison- if anything, FOF is more shimmery and pigmented.
The store didn't have Shade Fluidliner, Rummy, Moderne l/s, Retrodaze l/s.
Other impressions:
Provence was just ugly to me- a matte cream color with some shimmer, if that makes sense. Pass on this if you're trying to cut down on your D'Bohemia haul.
Cherche Blushcreme is a very pretty nude color- has some pink in it when applied, but this isn't detectable by just looking at the pot. Passed for now... not LE anyway!
Pink Aperif goes on very sheer- very MYBB. It looks like I have no l/s on, so I passed.
Hth!

I ordered Deckchair and Coco pigments online yesterday, so I can't wait to get them! The rest of the collection I think I can pass on.

I just got back from my appointment and haul! hehe
i didn't take any pics of my fotd, cause it's a light look, so it won't show up in pics.
My haul:
-all 5 shadows
-all 3 lip glasses
-#7 eye lashes.
my thoughts on the stuff:
eyeshadows:
- d'bohemia -pretty color. more coraly than paradisco.
- prose and fancy - pretty teal color, but it's not a bright teal.
- rummy - a nice brown. not too dark though
- oceanique - i was confused with this one. it looks silver in the pot, but when i tested it on my hand, it kind of turned goldosh/taupish or something. it's like it changes color and adapts to your skin tone. it was interesting, so i bought it. hehehe.
- bagatalle - this is a pretty bronze/tan color.
pigments:
-provence - didn't like. it's a light cream matte color, with just a little tiny bit of shimmer.
- deckchair - it looks pretty in the container. it's a light rose color, but when i swiped it on my hand, it was just very shimmery and looked white on my hand. couldn't really tell what color it was.so i passed on this one.
- coco - it's just another brown color. really shimery too, so it had that kind of glare of shimmer so it made it look kind of light like deckchair did.
lipglasses:
- beaute - pretty color. it's kind of similar in color to pink lemonade, but just a tad darker and with more shimmer in it.
- flash of flesh - this is pretty also. it's like alight color, kind of neautral, but with shimmery with gold glitter.
- gitane - pretty red color. it's not a bright red, and has gold shimmer in it.
i didn't really pay attention to the blushcremes since i knew i wasn't gonna buy them. she did use one on me and it looks pretty on. i just don't feel like applying cream blushes. lol.
-shade fluidline - ok color. i won't get it right now since i'm trying to figure out how to apply my other ones. it's a forest green color.
lipsticks - i didn't really check them out since i forgot my b2m stuff.

I went by the mall to pick up dinner tonight (I live 5 minutes away!) and passed by Macy's. The Macy's MAC counter is right at the entrance to the mall, so I saw that they got D'Bohemia in- all of it! I was so happy since the freestanding was out of so many things.
So... I picked up Shade Fluidliner and Beaute Lipglass. I overlooked Beaute earlier, but I tried it on again, and it is sooo gorgeous!
I would've spent more time but I really dislike the MA that was there, so I just wanted to get what I wanted and get out of there. Also, my BF was waiting for me so we could pick up dinner.
I'm still thinking about getting some of the l/s- retrodaze, moderne, la mode, or pink apertif. Ya, I know, I really narrowed it down!
But most of them look so similar to things I already have- not exact matches but at least similar enough not to justify their purchase.
Moderne = Flutterby, High Tea, etc. (I have a whole nude lippie collection by now
)
La Mode = Sandy B
Pink Apertif = Viva Glam V
Anyone buy the l/s? Any thoughts?
