Hiding. Lol. I think she said she bought 8 items from the AA collection.

I need to figure out what kinda men she likes so I can find a pic to distract her with when she gets back.

Not betrayed.. just "slightly deviated from the plan." She said months ago that ED was one of her weaknesses. And she's skipped some collections too. As long as she's happy with her things and gets a lot of use out of them, we're happy for her!

How long are we going to make her sit on that chair.. lol.

I'm here... Sitting in my cozy chair! Lol I'm working this weekend, so I only get a little time to pop in & see how you girls are doing. I'll be back Monday. Be good... If you can.

I've been naughty.. see the AA thread. Filled with distracting pictures of Gerard Butler so HG didn't notice I bought an ED bronzer. Lol! See you soon. <3

@veronikawithak - Hubs had a great idea - buy all the things that I want in store, see if they ship the order - if they do, return the duplicates back to the MAC store.

I feel bad about returning them, but it is a way to guarantee that I get everything that I want.....

Or I could sell to gals on Specktra!
Hey doll! I responded in the AA thread--was just going to mention that you should call the Bay and confirm the launch for Monday, because my store here in Vancouver says they are launching Thursday. Just wanted to give you a heads up---always confusion!

I got 7 things from AA and still want more! ED is also a weakness of mine. I mean, it's my birthday haul so I was treating myself. And I haven't hauled this big in a long time. I skipped the sephora sale. I'm skipping both designer collections and skipped a couple other ones as well. I am limiting myself to two or three items in the up and coming collections. I've done pretty good so far this year too. So think I'm ok with splurging a little

Thanks girlie! I called a few local HBC/MAC counters and they all confirmed for Thursday too!

Now.....should I take Thursday morning off....

I feel like that's a little too crazy! Haha! *still considers it...hangs head in shame*

I stayed strong yesterday and didn't allow myself to let the 40% off lure me into buying something I don't need. I repurchased Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Boy on Wednesday and this lipstick is my most favourite lipstick ever. I've already used up one tube last year or so. If I was forced into giving up all my makeup and only keeping one lipstick it would be Boy. Definitely. I could rant on about this colour. So, I didn't mind the 19€ I spent on it.

All you ladies have fun hauling and enjoy your Alluring Aquatic goodies!

Also, this might be the wrong thread for this but I don't know where else to ask this, so... Can anyone recommend a mid-tone grey eyeshadow? It can be shimmery but not glittery. Also, I tried Copperplate which was way too brown for my liking and Scene was too dark. I'm looking for something in between. Doesn't have to be MAC.

I have been out of town at a retreat and haven't worn makeup in 10 days! No extreme lemmings for upcoming collections but I will grab one or max 2 items from AA - ED is my fave. Possibly 1-2 from Osbournes. Haven't dropped in on MB yet.

This thread is sooo quiet lately.. I'm going to assume some of us (myself included) have done some damage with AA?

Anyways, I'm going on a conference this weekend for 5 days and I'm only taking a carry-on so I thought it'd be fun to post my travel makeup bag contents! Here's a picture of the toiletries bag I have so you can see what I'm working with. I have makeup in the top and bottom mesh compartments as well as lipsticks in the opaque zippered compartment and the blush/highlighter in the main compartment since they didn't fit anywhere else. The rest has all of my shower stuff etc.

MAC Paint Pot - Painterly
MAC P + P - Vibrancy Eye, Lip & Highlighter in Radiant Rose
MAC MSFN - Light
Hourglass - Mood Exposure
Hourglass - Luminous Light
MAC Peach Blossom
MAC Patentpolish - Kittenish
MAC CSG - Deelight
Chanel RCS - Boy
MUFE mascara sample
MUFE eyeliner - 24L Light Taupe
Anastasia Brow Wiz - Ash Blonde; clear brow gel
MAC Quad: All That Glitters, Yogurt, Quarry, Shale

It's always fun to go through and see what your "must have" items are! I'm going to do my makeup out of this bag for the next few days to see if I miss anything enough to add it.

If anyone else wants to do this just for kicks I'd love to see what you end up with!

That's very impressive!! I could probably survive with a few less things.. My BASIC basics are Painterly, MSFN, Radiant Rose, a blush, mascara, eyebrow pencil and a tinted lipstick/balm of some kind.

For brushes I'm planning on taking MAC 142 & 159 for face/blush and probably 239 & 286 for eyes.
