SO HAPPY that the blushes were on the MAC site when I woke up. I was only going to get Sunset Beach but treated myself to both because I knew I'd regret not getting Ocean City. I'm actually surprised they're not sold out yet lol

Both Blushes in one order and then a hesitation and finally order placed for Mangrove separately. I'm excited to get my goodies :D

Haha, it's so hard to make them see how much fun it is! It's not even about being "beautiful", that's a side benefit, it's about colors and textures and art and transformation. I wish they could forget about societal expectations and just see it for the play that it really is, not too much difference between me and a kindergartner getting a new box of crayons lol
I have friends who wear makeup but when I started saving up and buying MAC and my UD Naked2 etc I had one who really looked down on me for spending that kind of money on makeup. It was really awkward.

Hey everyone :) I've been following this thread & before this I was stalking the Playland thread (I got TA, Live it up x3, lots of laughs x2, carousel & my bf picked out HGL @ the store for me all by himself.. I was so proud of him lol) I decided to join since I'm always lurking around here anyways. This morning when I woke up I bought sunset beach & ocean city.. 2 separate orders because at first I had no intention of getting both lol. I've tried to do my homework online but ocean city looks different in every pic so I hope I'll be able to wear it. Happy to finally be a member :) looking forward to all your swatches!

Morning dear! And those shoes sound hot. I love steampunk looking heels! Cause you can wear a white tshirt and jeans and boom! Heels. Dressed up to kill. 00 I was looking at this "outlet loubutin store" yesterday and last night I put some stuff on my cart but I think they're fakes tho. So I prob won't be getting them or prob just one pair to see how they really like? I don't support fakes. But it's so tempting to get just one pair to see if they are the real thing ... But I woke up dreaming of these

Picked up both blushes this morning when I woke up, decided to buy online because I didn't want to wake up early to go to the store. Hoping I'll like both. I didn't get to use the over night code unfortunately but I live in toronto so I'm hoping I get it pretty quickly anyway

So I've been up since 6am. It wasn't to stalk the collection I just woke up that early today. As usually I checked Specktra read about the collection being up on Nordie's and ran to the site to find out the blushes weren't available. I was planning on using a Note to pay for it. I refreshed that page like a lunatic and nada! It's when I leave the computer start some chores and come back I find out it's up at MAC! I stuck to my guns and ordered the ONE blush like I said I was going to. The free Overnight shipping was icing on the cake. I can't wait to have it in my hands!!!!!

I have friends who wear makeup but when I started saving up and buying MAC and my UD Naked2 etc I had one who really looked down on me for spending that kind of money on makeup. But then she wanted me to buy her a MAC LE lipstick for her after being so condescending about it. It was really awkward.
My response to that is that I look at my makeup purchases as health care spending. Being able to create certain looks with makeup I really like makes me happy. And being happy makes me a better friend, daughter, sister, wife, etc. I study harder at school, I work harder, I'm more likely to go to my workout. It's no different than spending money on a fishing trip or a new video game or whatever it is that makes different people happy. If you spend so much money that you're stressed out about finances, then it's having the opposite effect and you need to cut back. But little presents for yourself to make you happy are important :) Like my husband may not understand why I jump up and down when a lipstick comes in the mail, but I'm sure he enjoys me being in a good mood all day lol I think friends who get condescending are just confused. Like they don't understand why you do something and they don't really know why it bothers them. I'm sure she just wishes she had makeup like that too, in fact, she'll probably see how much you like it and come around, maybe even say sorry (we can hope right?) :) Like my family doesn't like makeup, but they get why I do, so they're cool with it. Oh and brands like MAC and UD are investments. It's better makeup and it will last longer and have more pigmentation (making it last even LONGER). So in the long run you're not REALLY spending more. If you buy a bad lipstick and have to reapply it twenty times a day, you should have saved money and bought the MAC lipstick that stays on for 7 hours and never goes bad! SOMETIMES the cheap option is the better option, but not when we're talking MAC lipsticks or the UD naked palettes!

I'm in dilemma with Chanel I love this color connection but sunnies should be timeless and these are mainly for summer (that's why limited) On the other hand I already have black ones so maybe I should let summer be blue
I would totally get the chanel sunnies they are so summer I love stunna shades too hehe even my niece has some

I've found that standard shipping is actually faster than FedEx express because Fedex shipments go out between 9:15-9:30 am from Markham and UPS standard leaves at like 6 am from Concord. I live 30 minutes north of Toronto
