Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I was afraid that she was a bit mad, because I couldn't help her after she helped me. When I figured out I could use the lettermail I pm'd her again with the news that I could help her with cheaper shipping. I've never heard from her again. So I don't know what to think, because the cp with Bloggers Obsession went completely fine and I was really happy with that.

Thanks Supercoolstephy and PinkDollFace for responding. I appreciate it.  If anyone else has had any interactions with Specktra member FairyLite100 please let me know how it went.  Thanks so much!

If anybody is interested in CIS and SI, i have one of each BNIB. I did a CP for a coworker, but she got fired and can't afford them now. Will sell for retail price + shipping.

Bare in mind, i'm from Germany and our retail price was 19,50€ for those lipsticks.

Update: CIS is gone.

well at least it was reported so maybe this seller will think twice before snatching up LE items and selling them for profit on evilbay. LOL

not sure if this has been mentioned (this thread is sooo long) but can anyone confirm whether Revlon's Cherries In The Snow is a good dupe of Love Goddess? thanks!

I have both and they look pretty similar to me but one thing you have to consider is the pigmentation of your lips as well as your coloring. I am nc-25/30 and they look very close to me.( so as chanel coco in color paris ?) I guess I am no help ....

If anyone is desperate for the lipsticks Love Goddess, CIS and Pure Zen, the Australian MAC site still has them available but keep in mind they charge $38 Australian dollars per lipstick ... but if anyone is stuck, they are there. We also have the The Perfect Cheek blush available too ($45)

my lips are pretty pigmented (pinker than in my avatar) and lip colours always tend to look darker on me

While flipping through the Vogue (US) w/Rhianna on cover I came across a MAC add for the MM collex.

I had to laugh. I said to meself - "Uh - what hoot!"

If I wasn't in the know & not a regular MAC customer I would have been pretty ticked if I had moseyed up to the MAC counter after the launch and told nothing was available. Pretty ticked!

I'm sure it was promoted in other mags as well.

Debenhams restocked FM. I need to resist the urge to order more! Ahhhhh

Might as well make it a nice even number like 10 :)

TPC is literally that....PERFECT! It's so pretty, I can't believe that I considered skipping it.

Yes, I have two!  And a legendary and two of the FM. I love these sooooo much!

Ive been wearing TPC since I got it. Legendary has been completely ignored as well as my former favorite Immortal Flower.

Yes....same here....it is so pretty

TPC has become my favourite neutral blush. I wear it fairly often but I do try to keep most of my blush in rotation (not always easy).

I'm returning CIS next week when I'm back downtown; it just doesn't suit me and I'm not willing to keep it any longer on the off-chance I can eventually swap it. That's how I got stuck with Camden Chic; I'm going to end up BTM a full lippie with that one and I'm not prepared to do that again.

Both MM blushes make great neutral everyday blushes that are easy to wear. Love them both!

Is Legendary different from Immortal Flower?  They look the same in pan--well near enough...

TPC is the only product I got from that collection.

I wore it's own and I paired it with Phiff! d/g and both are so gorgeous together!

For those if you ladies that got your hand of the MM 35 lashes. How do you like them? have you used them? I have only used them once. And I LOVE them!!! they are unique from other MAC lashes.

I got them and wore them once and I felt like they were too dramatic for me. :( I have really short sparse Asian lashes so maybe they just 'felt' that way? I do remember some girl looking at me and it made me uncomfortable. It wasn't like a woo, gorgeous lashes stare, more like a huh?

I was in NOrdies last night, and one of the customers said they wanted the Marilyn lippie.  She kept saying to her friend, you know they just came out with it and I wanted to check it out. I didn't have the heart to tell her it was gone.

I wore them for my bday and I felt oh so glam wearing them
But now I don't wanna use them too much since I don't have a backup pair.

I don't think it's limited edition.....MAC will restock soon on the website..
