Life is better with red! I went from natural chestnut to auburn in my 20s and kept it that colour for almost a decade. I just went back recently and I love it just as much as I did then. Can't wait to see your pics...

I'm sure dark red hair looks gorgeous with your uber-pale complexion.

Yesss! mac_boxday.gif

 

I received Legendary, the BP and LG this morning. I had to rush out the door to get to class and I'm dying to go back home to play! th_happy1.gif

OH. MY. GOD.

 

I LOVE the Forever Marilyn!

 

I really wasn't sure and especially since I bought 2 BU's of it (which have yet to arrive) I was worried it wouldn't be as great as everyone said and I'd have to sell them on but holy cow.  It gave my face this just amazing kind of... glow.  This is totally different to anything I've ever tried.

 

It MUST not just be my eyes either because when I got to class someone said I look "really good" today, then quickly said "not as if you don't usually BUT something different" -- well the only thing different was the BP!  It must've just made me have that healthy glow.  I love it!

 

I wore LG today.  I have to admit I was in a rush so didn't use beet l/l but I quickly used a lip brush to go around the edges to smooth it all out and it's pretty but I think I was expecting something a bit different.  Not sure what.  It's definitely a pink on me though, not a red.  I used it with my lip prep&prime for the first time today - the staying power with P&P is astounding!  I mean I seriously can't believe it.  My lipstick went on at about 8:50am and it's now 5:12pm and tbh with you, it's only faded in the last hour but you can see I've definitely had it on and I think with a lipliner it'd have stayed on longer.  That's including 2 hot drinks, a meal and 2 cigarettes (I know, still slowly quitting though!) - so I'm REALLY impressed.

After realizing today is a holiday, I was so not expecting my Nordstrom order to arrive BUT it did mac_boxday.gif.

Not only did the goods arrive (second order for me, mind you) but the only MUA there with whom I deal took the time to write a lovely note!  What a sweetheart.  On a day from hell, last Thursday she took the time to do this!!!! Very moving, and much appreciated.  

 

I got a call this morning from my favorite MUA at my free standing MAC store.  I asked her how things went for them last Thursday and she said people were very angry when they exhausted their supply, and one lady even cursed her out.  That was so uncalled for because they had reordered to prepare for Thursday but it didn't arrive until Friday.  Had that nasty woman played her cards right she would have reserved items for her.  Rather the idiot left in a huff.  So, the reason that she called today was to take my preorder for Glamour Daze.  I'm in big trouble.  I'll post my picks on the Glamour Daze thread.

Yay Gracie...you took the plunge.  I'm sure the dark red look amazing with your pretty face.  Looking forward to seeing a picture.

Just a friendly reminder that per the guidelines, CP's, Swaps, etc. MUST be kept within the Clearance Bin area.

Thanks for your cooperation!

Glad you were here. Something must be wrong on the site today as I cannot do the thumbs up. It just doesn't work all of the sudden. Oh, & if I try to check 'who left the thanks' button, it goes to the top of the page.

Thanks

Just got mine and I have to say, yes, it really is eyelove.gif

post #6915 of 8500

Okay, I just MASSIVELY gave into hype and ordered a Forever Marilyn bp along with a CYY (and a Moxie as a birthday present for a friend!). I held out as long as I could!  Really excited to finally get what all you guys are talking about!!

 

So that brings my total haul for this collection to FM, LG and TPC. I got everything I wanted, yay :)

It really is all thanks to you, Gracie and duckrodeo for my buying it!  I'm SO glad I bought 2 BU's and I'm almost tempted to try and scrape the money together for a 3rd BU.  It's AMAZING!

I'm glad you got a few BU's. It's really perfect for pale skin.

 

I also agree on the glow it gives, which is very natural. I prefer the FM glow (or the bronzed glow I get from the pearlmattes) over MSF's. Actually, I'd take BP any day over MSF's.

post #6918 of 8500

FM is really beautiful, but I think I still prefer Lightscapade. I just love that so much. heart.gif

I agree, it really is very natural.  I was really skeptical to be honest as I've never bought or used a BP before.  When I put it on I just did half my face at first and turned my head different ways and could really see such a beautiful difference.  I definitely think MSF's look different though.  I LOVE my Lightscapae but I didn't even need to use it today!

post #6920 of 8500

So I've just received a response to my complaint e-mail.

 

They've asked if they can call me tomorrow to discuss it.

 

Has anyone had this happen before?  I'm actually quite nervous oddly!

So I guess I should share my MM story as well: I called and ordered with a counter on the 2nd..the girl told me that they would ship out from her store or another store as soon as the collection launched on thursday. Took my credit card info and all....I called today because I had no charges, and had not recieved any follow up calls. Lo and Behold my order had never been placed and no blush and lippie are coming my way...

 

The counter assistant offered to take my order on replishnment products and add some free "goodies" to my box...but I wanted Marilyn not perm products and not dupes of marilyn. She was very hospitable and kept apologizing...but Im sad cause I was really excited and thought I had gotten my hands on the two things I wanted....to only be disappointed

 

O well..its just makeup.

I know how you feel - something similar happened to me. It's very disappointing when you think it's all been arranged and find out after it's too late to do anything about it that it didn't happen. Hope you can find your products elsewhere.

I'm about to raise hell with Bloomingdale's!! I placed 2 orders. 1 with the FM BP & Legendary Blush, 1 with Pure Zen Lipstick and another FM BP.

 

 

I am only getting one BP shipped already....the other BP on back order and the rest...POOF GONE. Not even on the invoice on my Bloomingdale's account anymore =(

post #6929 of 8500

I love love love Deeply Adored. I haven't even touched Love Goddess yet b/c DA makes me feel so love.gif

 

 

(Also, a CP fell through, so I have some extra MM items! Link to my sale is in my signature)  All gone!

WTF2.gif, Princesslisax3, I hope you get your order. So many issues are arising with this MM collection. My order was given to a total stranger from UPS. I was lucky that MAC is re-shipping my order. I would call Bloomingdale's and find out what is going on. Shame on them.
