Hey, just a quick query! I was looking for a certain kind matte or satin brown to buy with my Sumo Sale haul and I don't know MAC browns too well, so I went to the counter at my Macy's to make a list. I checked out Soft Brown, and it was just too orangey for what I was seeking. I want a...

I just want to recommend a new MMU maker whom I think is fabulous. Her line is called Detrivore Cosmetics. From Detrivore, you can get over 30 colors of eyeshadow, most of which are very rich, saturated tones, and all have great color payoff. She also sells a primer that I like even better than...

Holy cow! So I am from what used to be called the "outlet capital of the world" - Reading, Pennsylvania. But as I was growing up, the outlets were dying...most of them wrapped up and closed.

I'm so bummed that I didn't know the CCOs existed when I was home for Thanksgiving. My parents live in Pennsylvania and since I get sort of bored when I'm there for a couple of days (none of my friends are in my hometown anymore) I often venture to the Philadelphia Premium Outlets, which are...

Hi folks! I'm Daphne, an early 20s "young professional" college grad living in the Boston area. I'm pretty new to MAC and to makeup in general; I really enjoyed makeup in high school and wore it a lot (drugstore brands only though, got it mostly at Target) but that really petered out in college...
