I used my discount today to get one of the new small pro palettes, pans of Club, Sumptuous Olive, and Greensmoke e/s, and the So Select l/s

Can you post pics of the palette on your hnd when you get it? I want one for travel but have trouble gauging the size somehow.

My purchases from Future MAC bumped me up a level... i'm not a beginner anymore ;-) I've got a few things in my basket and this $10 savings makes me happier to push the button.

Yes, I got the email too. I never used the paintpot or have one. Now i want to try as eyeshadow base but im not sure to get soft ochre or paintery. Any recommendation for my skin color? My eyelids not show lots of vein. THANKS

I like both, painterly is a little pink so if you're a yellow undertone you might want to get soft ochre.

I love Embark! It has been a staple in my kit since the beginning. I think it is a richer & deeper brown than handwritten. :thumbsup:

Y'all have reminded me I should call MAC about my anniversary date & gift! According to my online records my date should have come up in March. I think it really stinks that MAC does not follow through on this...totally not proactive. Every other brand automatically sends out a "birthday" reminder with discount and/or freebie. How hard is it to set up an automated system to push this?!? Instead we have to chase it down! smh.

I've been using Embark for my brows since the early 2000's!

Thank you so much!!!!!

there have been a lot of pics on Instagram for the medium palette with eye shadow and blush inserts, but I think I may get two of these instead, one for eye shadows and one for blush. The size is perfect for travel or carrying around in a makeup bag!

No prob! Yes I think this size is much better for throwing in your purse or travel. I want to get a second for blush too.

is that the one you can also have an insert for two blushes/sculpt powders right? I need. just wish you would be able to open it on the other side

Yes, you can get the insert for the blushes/face stuff. I didn't get any inserts yet, just wanted to check out the size, etc. first!

I went to do Back 2 Mac and the associate told me I had to make a purchase in order for them to add the items to my account...I had 18 but wanted to turn them in for later redemption. They miscounted the items too & threw them in a big bin, so I only ended up with 17. I'm not sure how the tracking of empty items is supposed to work, but I couldn't just drop them off.
