Blahhh, the She-Gold I ordered when it came back up was backordered =( I guess I'm not going to get it... I ordered it 30 mins before it sold out again so that really sucks.

So as much as i want to feed my addiction to MAC, i need to control it as it ends up getting real expensive after awhile.

But on the plus side, collections don't sell out as fast, so i don't need to be in a mad rush each time a new collection comes out.

i agree. lippies in my country cost approx (prices converted in USD) $23 for a lippie, $28 for a pigment and so on and so forth.

sooo expensive!

I noticed they took DressCamp off the site this morning, I guess that means no more restocks?

EDIT...I just noticed it is all still there just not listed as a collection, its all scattered through the site now, so maybe there will be another restock

Actually, the lipglass should be $16.50, like Canadian price, but they already add tax to everything, which is why it is $19. In fact, Dior, Anna Sui, Shu Uemura are actually even crazier in prices. And obviously it is more expensive due to the fact that MAC is in US, so it has to be imported.

I still think that I don't see MAC is very popular in Asia because of the bright colors and the more hip/edgy look. The Asian demographic (going from my cousins and magazines I've seen) is for more lighter and shimmery neutral colors that make the wearer look very cute. It might be in Japan though, because there is a big punk population there, but not in Taiwan.

When u convert it, yes, it works out to be only slightly more expensive, however u have to take into consideration the average pay in that particular country. For example, a part time job in starbucks or a fastfood joint would only pay abt RM4-6/hr, and most university grads just starting out would prob get paid RM1-2k. So it does work out to be pretty expensive in that sense. But what u said about the neutral color thing is true, bolder colors don't sell out as fast.

I finally got Too Fab l/s, Fashion l/g and the palette. I can now understand why u girls were going crazy over Too Fab & Fashion cos i absolutely love it too. I'm thinking if i should try and get a back up cos it might look similar to Hollywood Nights and supposedly Heatherette is only being released in July (VERY VERY late i know). So for those who have both (too fab & hollywood nights), are they real similar??
