MAC - Sonic Chic Discussion

[blindpassion]

YOU GUYS ARE KILLING ME!!!! hahahah
I always wait until Thursday to go see the collections,
and I like to give my fav MA the sale so she can meet her goals,
since shes the one who always helps me decide...

but MAN im sitting here watching you all buy online,
and if Canadian shipping didnt cost a body part, I would buy!

But I'll take what I would have paid for shipping into the store and I can buy a whole nother blush with it.

IM SO EXCITED.
I cant even waittttt.

Last night I dreamed that MAC did this thing for preferred customers where they let them buy the collections a few days early... IF ONLY!!!



enjoy your stuff! post pics so I can drool!!!!

My list is stil: dainty, gentle, pleasantry, and maybe merrily!

[clslvr6spd]

^^ I am in the same boat. I want it NOW! but I don't want to pay a but load for shipping....having no patience is killing me!

[stv578]

I think for this collection in particular, it'll be worth the wait. I found things to be a lot different irl... it's just 48 more hours!

Yeah but whenever I do free shipping for my Canadian purchases, it ends up taking atleast a week and a half for it to get here and I'm really not willling to wait that long if I can just go on Thursday and have them right away haha.

No patience for these babies.

Some of us who've used a free shipping code have managed to get a next delivery upgrade so that we've received our haul on the same day that the collections are available instore.

I hope you manage get what you want soon - I think these would look gorgeous with your complexion.

Thanks love, that's the beauty of having like WHITE skin haha (mac foundation in NC15 is almost too dark), everything shows up really well... thats the silver lining I guess haha.

Yeah its kind of insane how long it takes, free shipping for Canadians isnt "next day" shipping, its like 5 - 7 business day shipping... so if I ordered it today it'd probably come next Thursday

The two times Ive ordered offline its taken just under two business weeks...

scary.

So I just dont do it, we have a nice MAC freestanding store about 6 minute drive from my house, so thats a plus I guess.

I'm always so shocked to hear that ya'll can order stuff and get it next day! amazing, Canada post sucks haha

I applaud you guys who are practicing restraint, because I have no concept of that.

Im curious if its like that for all Canadians... I never bothered to ask.
And for overnight shipping you pay something around 30 dollars with tax, I could just take that money and buy another blush with it, since they are 25 here...

But I shouldn't complain, the UK folks have it worse, the prices are so inflated

[annie333]

I ordered all of them except Love Joy after doing a quick MAC CHAT and the gal letting me know that it would be a bit too dark for me. Can't WAIT!!!!!

I left the two new brushes and a few other things in my "Save for later" basket to get next week to take the stink out of buying 8 blushes.

I am SOOO glad that I got Love Thang after seeing misstwiggwinkle swatches!

Audrey...you just may have to have this...& winthrop44

Im not planning on buying much as I have decided to cut down on my compulsive MAC spending. I also don't have the time anymore to play.
I am also thinking of sellling most of my MAC. *bites nails*

Anyway, I think I'm happy with my Dainty and Gentle for now - if I want more, I can wait until the re-promotion in the Autumn. By then, I'll have a good idea about whether or not I like MBs.

I have a feeling you'll like them
I use Northern Lights MSF as a blush ALL the time, but I blow off the glitter from the brush before I apply it, and the look it gives is just gorgeous!

Mineralize stuff was really made for the cheeks I think.

Im getting Dainty and Gentle as well! and also Pleasantry
What skin tone do you have if you dont mind me asking?

Love Thing or Gleeful, ahhhh, which one to get. I can't take this. I need psychiatric help.

when do you normally get your stuff when you order 2 days before the collection is in stores [day & approximate time]?

I decided against Pleasantry because I don't think bright blush would go with the looks I'm trying to achieve and also because I didn't want to risk going for something that might be too cool-toned on me - Dainty was my safe bet and Gentle was my branching out blush.

I'm considering Petticoat MSF (the repromote). I don't think I want to buy too many blush products as they tend to last me years and I'd never end up using them all up. I'm hoping just to get a nice little collection going that will see me through most looks.

Yeah I definitely agree with those choices, they will look stunning on you.
My favorite blush of all time from the perm line is Dame, and it has the same blue tones as Pleasantry does, and I actually broke my Dame in a tragic depotting accident about two months ago, and decided not to get a new one and wait until Sonic Chic !

Im such a blush girl though, I totally overdue it sometimes but thats the look I'm going for.

Gentle and Dainty will be so useful, they will go with a ton of looks.

I cant wait to see Petticoat in person, I missed it the first time around!

I was in Vegas and came back with some virus that made me lose 8 lbs in one week, lost my hearing (ear infection) and lost my voice (Strep that turned into Laryngitis). Been upset and depressed, that is why I haven't been posting here much. :tears:

I ordered Gentle and Love Thing. I have enough peaches and corals, so I am going with the pink. I am a NC45-N9, so I think these will show up and blend on my skin and I paid extra for 2 day shipping, so I must want them bad, lol.
