Thank you so much for coordinating this! I thought I was going to have to miss out on a couple of unique colours, but hopefully now I will be able to get them.

There will be a list soon who from the US is willing to make a CP for us international customers! Then we will know who we can ask.

I'm actually really excited to get these! my NARS kick has ended in my order today, and the rest of my money is saving for FL on the 7th of july (L)
I might buy the polishes if I like them, I've grown my nails!

Ahh that's great! You should treat yourself to some polishes then - It's the perfect excuse to!

Still irritated about the price, though. Even if people complained about the amount of product, I sincerely doubt anyone envisioned MAC would keep the price the same.

I am not buying the production costs reason. Sure it may have gone up but not so much that they would give you half of the original size for the same price. It's obvious they did it to make a prettier penny for themselves. If you don't like it then don't buy it is easier said than done considering you want new colors but then you feel so stupid/ripped off purchasing it knowing how much more they're making while giving you so much less and in cheaper ugly jars too.

Looking on the bright side, this change will provoke me to spend less which is a good thing and any new pigments must blow me away in order for me to buy one now.

hahaa F-that! The vials better have a magical genie to float out of it and apply my pigments for me while making me coffee and magically implanting math studying material into my head.

That's ridiculous.

wow i find it so irritating when customers get angry at the MUA. yeah... cause THEY were the ones who decided to change the packaging and price right? jeez.. lol same thing when servers get bitched at when the food comes out late.. yeah its cause THEY prepare the food in the kitchen?.. lol

i've never bought any pigments before so i can't fully relate with y'all pigment lovers. but i do understand half product for the same price??? that does sound a bit greedy. but oh well i know i'm going to get all 3 pigments! <3

 

[purrtykitty]

Just a reminder...anyone willing to take CPs for our international Specktrettes for this collection, please send me a PM, as I am making a list to post for people to contact. I've had several people contact me already, so a big THANK YOU to them, but I think we'll need many more!!

FYI...I am planning on having the list complied and posted by mid-May so there is plenty of time for people to make contacts and get their orders squared away.

Question: since I've never entered the selling subforum, how are we supposed to pay? Just paypal or maybe there are other ways? *** confused ***

paypal is generally the way most people pay

 

[PlatinumV]

Thank you! So I suppose it is time for me to get an account! (or, as usual, ask my friend to pay with his account! )

 

[purplerinne]

also, for those that are asking CP's that you know there are paypal fees attached to the price....I don't want anyone to be blindsided since I will be doing CP's for people.

but even with the fees and shipping i think you are still saving a great deal from what i understand.

oh of course! i have always paid for the fees! it'd be a bit of a jip if we didn't!

Erine, is partylicious pigment worth it? How does it compare to mutiny? Is it less silver? Does it contain any gold sparkles in it? The turquoise lover in me wants to know.

Very good point, Corinne. What I'll probably have along with the list are a few "helpful hints" about CPs for those that have never done them before. Just to keep things going along smoothly.

packaging is another thing that i usually pay for when i get a cp

price of a bubble mailer for example

aww so sweet! I had someone argue with me before about the price i was charging and had to do a breakdown...but hey, i hardly doubt anyone doing CP's are trying to make a fast buck...i see it as helping out others that don't have the resources to get a product...

the only thing i hate is how expensive shipping is

sometimes it's more than the product itself

 

[GoldenFairy]

I'm not planning on getting it, but for those of you that are, how are you ladies/gents planning on using the yellow DGC??

 

[Boasorte]

I've read somewhere that sellers are responsible for the fees...correct me if I'm wrong, por favor.

All of u ladies are sweet to offer CPs, I think I just want one pigment from this collection, and that's about it. I've been in a makeup funk hence my inactivity
