The Saga of the Missing Little Black MAC Box

I knocked on my new downstairs neighbor's door last night, but she hadn't seen my little black box. I couldn't look for it outside last night because it was dark and raining.

So i went out searching this morning. I looked over the fence at the end of the driveway where her back door is, but i didn't see anything. So i walked around the other side of the house. I found the sad, soggy black box on the other side of a locked chain-link gate for which i have no key. Luckily i could stick my little hand through the links, grab the box (it took a few tries to reach it), and eventually work it up so i could get a good hold on it and bring it over the fence.

The box was so very saturated and water-logged, since it has been raining most of the week since it was delivered. I usually save my black boxes and use them for storage, but i just tore this one apart - it was so wet i didn't need any particular strength.

Fortunately the pigment & glitter set was in a little plastic bag, so relatively unscathed. The Gunner box was pretty wet, however, so i let it dry out for a while before i opened it - i keep my lipsticks in their boxes and i didn't want to destroy it. The lipstick tube was damp, so i wiped it off. Then with some trepidation i opened it. Whew, no moisture! Gunner was OK.

I understand that the UPS delivery person was concerned my package might be stolen. However i have gotten 3 other packages - Urban Decay, Beautylish, and sephora, all larger than that little MAC black box - left on my front porch on different days this month (yes, MAC, i have been unfaithful), not counting a couple large art books that came from Istanbul Turkey, and no one took them. I live in a sketchy neighborhood, have for over 12 years (during which time it has gotten a bit less sketchy), and so far none of my packages has ever been stolen, altho i know there's always the possibility of a first time. (not to mention that i have NO rear door!)

I am wearing Gunner now. It isn't as blue as it looks in some people's photos, but i am quite happy with it. It must have thought it was lost at sea for a week!

I'm so happy you finally found it and none of the products took any damage inside the box.

I'm glad I missed the restock. I did not need a back-up. I'm gonna start working at the start of the new year and it's not a color that's work-safe. I have to start being practical.

I'll have to take a picture with Stunner on and compare it to me RRW picture. The only other super red matte I have is Michael Todd's Affection (which is almost an exact dupe as well).

Thanx for all the love galz!!! That Prestige pencil in Masquerade, that I spoke of earlier in the thread really helped me outline Gunner neatly since I like to go outside my natural lip line with dark colors :)

Very true. I love a good red lipstick with a matte finish.
Any faves??? Lately I've really been loving Smashbox Bing, it's got just a touch of orange in it for that POP!!! I also like Nars Cruella and Dragon Girl, both r head turners... The Ruby Woo lip pencil is nice too from the holiday red lip bag :)
