Thank you!!!

 

what email did you use to send it to? I was trying to look for a mac pro one but I was having trouble finding one on site. Maybe if they get more emails like this they will take notice. Or who knows they might already be investigating people that are doing this.

 

From what I have heard they are cracking down on employees buying and reselling. I know of one MA at a local counter here that was fired for doing this not too long ago. I am hoping this is a trend. Not that I hope anyone lose their job, meaning that this is a deterrent for employees and pro members who are doing this or considering it.

 

I mean I get it, a lot of us get back up of items. BUT that's for our personal use. Or if anyone here is like me, I buy sh*t sometimes out of pure impulse . Gotta work on that. LOOOL

That shite's ridiculous, not to mention idiotic. Why would you take a picture of your invoice and post it on eBay? Especially if you're a Pro member? It definitely reeks of greedy a-hole. *nods*

I have a small face and I don't think I have a lot of cheek area. The 129 and 187 seem too big to use sometimes, but the 130 seems to fit just right. Lol, Goldilocks and the three brushes. I know that was lame but it made me laugh.

Thank you both for the advice. I haven't opened it yet, but will do so later today and post what I saw.

 

I know I see a bubble at the top, Pinkdollface, but it's only on one side and not all the way around. That's how all of my unopened and opened dazzleglasses look, though.

No, no brown unfortunately. As a matter of fact, my problem with this lippie (and RR) is that they just end up turning pink on me. I don't know if they are even reds on me. That's why I love orange reds because they actually look like red!

How to Marry on the tearduct and on the outer lower lash to further open the eyes. It looks very natural. Simply divine. Love it, especially as Preferred Blonde and Carbonized actually melt to a nice taupe-y shade with the most incredible sheen ever!

on-the-go touch-ups.  I use the 187 short for MAC Face & Body & tinted moisturizers.  I like to stipple.  I don't know why but I do.  I'll be picking up the Mineralize Brush set from the holiday collection because I love these brushes.

The 179 is an amazing brush...one of my favorites.  Have you tried any of the other split fibre brushes?  The 128 is pretty awesome too.  I use it for blush and/or foundation.  Great choice.  Have fun with it.

There's a few more full size brushes I'd like to get first. You know, it would've been nice if a brush came out with the Marilyn collection to use with the Beauty Powder.

 

 

I have the 128 and 234, but I haven't used them yet. I didn't get them when they initially launched last year. I picked them up July of this year. I remember Mac Guy saying something useful about them, so I tracked them down and saw that Nordstrom still had them in stock (they still do!). But I can't remember what was said about them to make me get them in the first place. I think it had something to do with the Heavenly Creature collection.
