I was at Nordies today battling my way up to the Mac counter. They were all out of both pink/nude lippes, a brush set, & I got the last Sweet Tease look in a box. This was the first time I was ever fearful for my life at a Mac counter. I was being pushed & actually waited in line to swatch the shadows.
Getting the look in a box was a complete shock to me. I didn't even look at them. I was looking at Love Nectar Lusterglass & the girl asked if I saw it in the Look in a box. She brought everything over & I also noticed I didn't have Gleam or Mulch that was inside. The zoom lash is going to be for my mom. And I fell in love with the Beauty Powder because it's a pretty highlight w/out the glitter. I'm not a fan of the 181se brush because I had one & killed the bristles, but I'll take it. Sold!
This is this is the box with a face chart:
(L)Gleam (R) Mulch Love Nectar lusterglass
Top-Bottom Swatches Gleam, Mulch, Love Nectar
Shell Pearl Beauty Powder
I the bought Fresh Cut Palette. Surprisingly, all these colors are pretty & smooth.
I think you could do a lot of everyday looks w/these colors. These are all pretty for the lid. The darkest color is perfect for smokey eye. It's not black or brown.I may go in search of the lippies. They said they may get the Nudes in at Southcoast.
I like all of the colors, love the packaging. I wish I could have swatched everything, but that was way too hard with so many people.
What did you get? What do you think of Look in a Box? What's your favorite piece?

thank you so much for the swatches! great purchases! :) xx
I got both of those sets (so excited to play with them now) and the Baby Blooms lip bag (with the pinks), but they were sold out of the nude and the other e/s palette. The MUA said they could still order the other lip bag, so I'm considering calling for it.
@Hyzenthlay so jealous about the lippies!
@lola I'm sure they willpop up on Ebay in a day. I hope you can find them.
Wow I love all of those, but especially the packaging of the palette... It's something I must get my hands on someday! And I love that they are very wearable colors. :)
Lovely haul I like the palette you picked up.. i prefer it to the green colored one!! xx
OMG, there were a TON of girls at Nordy's MAC counter, that I went to the MAC store instead. I give you props for dealing with all those crazy girls trying to get the sets!!
The palette looks amazing :)

i TOTALLY hear ya girl. I went back to work at nordies MAC this weekend after not working there since Nov. 2008 and i suddenly remembered why i left! it's freaking bananas there and i'd sooo rather be home with the baby. we sold out of all those things you said too! CRAZY!
I got the Sweet Tease box, too! I didn't have to fight for it though... The beauty powder is my fave too--it gives such a pretty shimmer! :)
I would love one of those boxes, Id be so excited if I had one :) they look great.
I fancy the fresh cut palette, as Im a bit of a nudey with eyeshadows :) Great Haul. x
