    Late to the party but wow

    feline kohl is the blackest black and soooo gorgeous. even though i purchased it the day it came out, i never got around to wearing it until last night, for a party. i got so many compliments! and i've read here that some ladies had trouble with it smudging, but it didn't budge for more than 10...

    is the new dark flower l/g worth getting

    this looks like a really pretty l/g. but is it too similar to other mac l/g like pop mode or angel wing or LE ones from past collections? what do you think?

    moonflower e/s

    i really want this e/s but it reminds me of another (mac) e/s but i can't think which one. do you girls know any dupes? also, is it just me or is fertile really chalky for a veluxe pearl?

    at least they respond in less than 24 hours

    Here is my message to customer service. Why are Canadian customers not included in the free shipping offers for online orders? MAC used to be a Canadian company. I am an avid MAC collector and I buy from every collection. I am in Ottawa which only has 1 MAC store and since Couture was a...

    confess!

    if you're like me, you tend to buy something from every LE collection mac puts out. but how much of it do you keep using once new collections come out and how much gets stuck in a drawer? for me, i keep getting distracted by the shiney new things and will only use something for a few weeks...

    november 9

    i thought the pigment sets would be out today but my counter says they're coming out next week. however, my favourite MA showed me the NEW brush roll and carry all. they were quite plain looking to me. i am glad i have my matt murphy ones, personally.

    viva glam lip palette

    i'm sorry i can;t find the post but someone was wondering if the $$ for the viva glam palette goes to the MAC AIDS fund and i checked today - yes, yes it does. every single cent of the selling price (just like for the lipsticks). i'm impressed!

    more info on holiday sets

    i saw all the lip sets (the ones with 2 full size lipsticks and 1 mini lipgloss) and the lipgelee set and the shadestick set today. of course, they all share the same packaging theme as the palettes and brush sets, and surprisingly, i found it cuter for the lip sets. what i thought was extra...

    Prêt-à-Porter: Brush Collection price breakdown

    hi guys, i added up the price of each brush in the set manually (for canadian girls) and it comes to exactly $260! so essentially you're paying the same price for all of them as you would if you bought them individually but you're getting the satin brush roll for free. just FYI from the...

    thoughts on holiday brush sets and palettes

    i saw these last week in person. you could pre order them but you couldn't take them home until thursday. i wish i could just buy the short handled 187 by itself - it is the only travel brush i want since i own all the other brushes in travel sizes (having bought brush sets starting in 2003)...

    thoughts on the mists and new brushes

    so i went in to see the new collection today expecting to buy at most the new 188 since i'm in love with my 187 and possibly one of the blushes b/c i'm a total LE addict. and i walked out empty handed! the mist blushes are ordinary colours and the spray on hand and apply to face is WAY too much...

    thoughts on Amuse

    hands down this is my favourite mac collection of 2006 so far. shooting star msf is so pretty on my nc44 skin, and every single e/s duo is gorgeous. the texture is almost creamy, and highly pigmented, and when worn over select coverup as a base on my oily eyelids, the e/s didn't budge and...

    mac store grand openings

    does anything special happen the day a mac store opens? i've been to a couple of sephora grand openings and loved them -- goodie bags, tons of samples, refreshments etc. but what about when a mac store opens? is it worth it to get there first thing in the morning? LOL

    lure collection lipglasses

    does anyone remember bliss me lipglass from waaay back when? that's what the lure lipglasses (especially sex ray) remind me of. the base colour of the lipglosses are sooo gorgeous, but the glitter ruins it for me. and i'm a glittergirl! i love glitter and shimmer, but the glitter in these...
