Aww, Thanks Karen!! You're so sweet to remember me. Can't wait to see how they turn out (especially Grand Duo... )

Oh, Karen, I know you can clone them as just the mixed color, but it would be soooo fun if you could replicate the split/marbelized look, too... IDK if you can achieve that at a reasonable price/time investment but if you can I would be soooo happy!!

I got mine today! Ann's swatches really put me over the top- but now in real life, I'm really in love. I haven't even begun to play with them (cloning the Bare slim shine took a little longer than I had hoped), but in the jar they're stunning, and I'm glad I ordered more rather than less.

That was fast! Did you order from MAC.com? Do you have a favorite duo?? Mine are out for delivery and the UPS guy typically shows up at the end of the day........waiting is sooo hard sometimes!!

Karen, out of the ones that you ordered do you have a favorite? The current free shipping code (sugarsweet) ends tomorrow and I'm thinking I might "need" a couple more. So far my fave is Love Rock........maybe I should just get another one for back up!

I don't quite have a favorite at the moment- I'm a ho, but yes, Love Rock is gorgeous. I also really like Zeeb's copper one quite a bit. I've been working on a few other things, but do plan to clone them very soon. Let me give it a whirl early this week, and if I nailed it- I'll let you know!

Thanks, Karen. I've been eyeing Grand Duo and Hot Planet too...........this is a terrible affliction!
