Chrome & Creme, what a Paradox!

I was originally going to hold out on any MAC purchases until Raquel Welch and Barbie hit the scene, but, you know...

I went to Macy's with D yesterday for the last time, she is moving on to another company and it was our last MAC trip together so we made it a big one. I wanted to try to get the launch dates for those two lines, and I was wanted to see the Danse and Chrome & Creme collections in person. The Danse collection looked a lot better in person than it did on-line, but what really got me going was the Chromeglasses. I first swooped in on Pastel Polish, and a minute later snatched up Chromaliving, too. Then we snagged our selfs a MAC Artist and got to work. I tried on those two colors, and bought both, along with the Naked Rose creme liner. D tried on three and got two, Prize Shine, the purple one and Metalphysical, the beige one, plus a liner, Creme Sherry. In order to complete our new lip looks we had our eyes done as well. I wasn't really in love, she went with a purple palette, but went towards the plum side, where as I like to stay towards the violet side. We also got dusted with Mineralize Skinfinish, I with Lightscapade, which I declined, and D with Glissade **tombe pottaborre glissade assemble, reminds me of my ballet days, even though I'm sure I spelt everything wrong** which she did get.

I'm also pretty excited about Shu Uemura's Spring collection: Paradox. The collection includes purple, grey, and white single eyeshadows; white eyeliner; three different pink blushes; two pink lipsticks; 2 pink nail polish; 2 sets of falsh lashes; a fan brush; and a lip brush.

but my favorite part, and the only product I am interested in buying is the Gloss Laquer in Invisible Pink. It also comes in Irrational purple and Radical fushcia I love the idea of a laquer in a pot. I think it will stand alone great and also look great layered over others.
