It doesn't say "Pro" on it. It's just a freestanding store that carries all the pro products. It's the one on Queen St. W.

Hey all - OK, so I made a little boo-boo. I'm particular when it comes to my MES melanges, and I forgot to ask the MA to get get me a Pink Split that had a lot of the purple/grey veining (this one has some, just not as much as I would like). Anyhoo, I thought I'd see if anyone here wants it (particularly those who have to pay more for MAC than us lucky Americans) before I return it. I'm not out to make money - just cover my cost, and I'd like to avoid sending it to the death-bin if someone here wants it. If anyone's interested PM me and I'll let you know exactly how much I'm asking.

For the duration of high school, I lived in a place where half the population was only around for the summer, and it was small enough that there were no street lights. Lots of exciting things to do there - visit the grocery store, visit the convenience store, visit the doctor's office or the bowling alley that was rarely ever open! Hot. Oh, and I was too young for the liquor store to be of use. It's grown some more now, but I left already.

There was no public transportation reaching that far out of the city (still isn't) and I couldn't/can't drive (there was nothing for me to drive, anyway).

City, please!

(It's probably part of why I won't move out of the city proper to the cheaper surrounding communities, actually, because I HATE being stuck somewhere with no transportation and nothing to do.)


So, madame spy, I can empathize with being a city girl stuck in an expanse of nothingness, even though I had those few things near me.

Eep, a boo-boo!

That's sad.

hehehe

Its good livin in the 'in no where black hole land' only for the fact that it is extremely safe...you can still leave your doors unlocked (we don't), walk at night, ride your bike. And, everything you need is within 5 min. driving time.

Our son lives in the big city, not so safe. But, I have a blast when we visit

There is soooo much to do, something different every time we visit. The shopping & dining is amazing...my favorite part. And, I love the fact that it is very culturally diverse. I do hate that mostly everything is a 30 minute commute

& the traffic makes me crazy.

 

[andreacvbb]

Thank you sooo much everybody!!!

Hi everyone!

I just got back from getting my Sonic Chic & Electroflash goodies! I got sea & sky, pink split, and hot contrast MES. I also got danity, pleasantry, and gentle Mineralize blushes. I also ended up getting the Light Medium Mineralize skinfinish natural with the shimmer and it might end up being too dark but the shimmer part of it is gorgeous! I also got the 181SE just because it is so cute & soft!

I love MAC Thursdays!

 

[kobri]

I'm trying to hold myself back from going to the MAC store. Odd Couple is calling me something fierce, but I need to save for overrich and cult of cherry! Oh this addiction is painful sometimes

 

[KikiB]

I know I can hold back on the blushes since I plan on getting both of the Manish Arora ones. As for the Electroflash, I'm not feeling them. I avoided the MAC counter successfully. Although I'm going with a friend and her girlfriend down to U-Village tomorrow and well, I have willpower. I will stay out of the MAC store

Oh I got the 4 Face Dazzle palette in the mail today...and I might just have to get some full-size of the Shell CCB. It's so pretty with all the pink and Swarovski...

Andrea, the Chill collection is going to have Reflects Antiqued Gold and Reflects Transparent Teal. Gold Fever is going to have Gold and 3D Silver. I am a glitter addict as well, Marigold should be here tomorrow or Saturday.

Yes, the Pink Split MES is a very pretty baby pink with plenty of shimmer - so no problem with the diseased-eye look. It's just that the duo I ended up with has more pink in the melange side that I would like, considering the entire other half is pink. I didn't even open it because once I saw the ratio of pink-to-veining, I knew I'd be returning it. I'd rather the duo not go to waste if someone else will use it, but I won't. And, unfortunately, I know if I return it, it will get sent to the death-bin, so I figured if anyone here was thinking about it, I'd give my Bimbos first dibs before taking it back. If there are no takers, I'll just exchange it when I go to pick up Merrily.

 

[gigglegirl]

damn Karin, I wish I would have seen this post before I bought my stuff at lunch.

Okay here's my day: went at noon, kinda not expecting to get anything based on swatches here. Finally got on a bus at to the MAC counter. So I saw the electroflash display first but only 4 mes--hot contrast, play on plums, polar opposites, and odd couple. Really didn't like them. blah. So I went to the sonic chic display. it was quite different than what I expected. I swatched it with the q-tips provided and it gave quite strong colour (i know, its not like that with the brush) but in my mind it scared me!

I fell in love with Dainty!! thats the one I walked away with and since I love plummy/pink lipsticks (similar to Twig-Twig) in Mellow Mood--->I LOVE THIS. So needless to say I was a bit disappointed as well as I had to wait like 5 mins for someone to ask if I needed help. Then as I paid, I commented on them only having a handful of the mes, and she said well I have a couple for a demo, and one (love connection) was behind the counter. So I didn't swatch fresh mix or sea b/c blues and greens aren't so much for me.

but by golly, I freaking fell in LOVE with Pink Split and Love Connection (which I WAS SO WRONG to compare to Engaging, so sorry, pictures do not do it justice). So I swatched the two and the awesome pink/shimmeryness of pink split had me sold and the grey side was just awesome! (I like how they are an all in one multi colour look, like if I go away I could pack a couple and have a look all ready). and love connection--just such a nice tanish, bronzeish (thats prob the wrong word--but I will go admire my babies soon!!)

I'm glad that I know I can at least get more mineralize blushes later this year, b/c I'm sure there will be awesome colours. plus, its taking me FOREVER to go through a blush.

Once I saw Pink Split and Love Connection and bought them both, I was definitely happy!

How was all your hauls?

Karin--I haven't even checked mine for its veining but I think itll be alright b/c i just freaking love it. I'm totally wearing it tomorrow!! Maybe some of that, crack open and use my macroviolet liner for once.

hope you all have a happy friday!!!

 

[stv578]

Yay for new MAC thursdays! So I went for round 2 today. Was bad, very very bad! Picked up 3 more blushes, Gentle, Merrily and Love Thing and the 181. Also picked up Play on Plums. I'm considering this my soon to be a working women again haul!

 

[gigglegirl]

stv, thats a good excuse as any!!!

yay working world gals! LOL now that I work M-F instead of going to school Monday/Wednesday etc, I'm going through a lot more foundation.

Unfortunately still not make much of a dent in my eyeshadows. I feel guilty continuing to buy more shadows!

 

[purrtykitty]

Bimbos, I have discovered the latest HOTNESS!! Tropic Glow Slimshine (from Cool Heat) topped with Sonic Vibe l/g = soooo HOTTTTT!!!! Just got a little tired studying so I took a moment to play around and that combo struck me. I'll be wearing it tomorrow with Love Connection. I'm hoping to post and FOTD of tomorrow's look, so keep your eyes peeled!

Darnit anyway! Oh well, I should've been paying better attention, but I just got so excited looking at new things, lol!

 

[KikiB]

Hah that's like me...always buying way too much on my lunch. That is, when I get one.

 

[Sanayhs]

Aloha! So, when I checked my schedule at work Monday afternoon, I was off Tuesday and Wednesday, and then on call for Thursday and Friday. I got a pissy phone call this morning about 45 minutes after the shift start demanding to know why I wasn't there. When I responded I thought I was on call, I was informed that I was scheduled to work today. Turns out they changed the schedule late on Monday. Rather than argue, I choked down my annoyance and apologized, and listened to the lecture about how I have to check the schedule every day before I leave (maybe they shouldn't be changing it at the end of the day!?).

As for MAC, I was grumpy, hungry and had to pee, so I went home, figuring that provided I'm not called in tomorrow I can go in then and have sufficient time to play. I don't expect to buy anything, and may actually leave my wallet home to ensure this. Silly lack of funding. The only MES that I'm at all interested in from swatches are Fresh Green Mix and Sea and Sky. I have so many blues (I have four shadow palettes, and one is all blue and teal), but the dark side particularly of Sea and Sky just looks SO gorgeous. Kobri, if you were to cave and go in to MAC, we might see each other and not even know it. And, you know, you probably would only know me as Sanayhs and not know how to pronounce it anyway.

Also, I really need a haircut. I'm getting split ends because it's been too long, and that makes my curls matte and start to turn into mega dreadlock-type clumps. Ew.

Yesterday I finally went back to the gym for the first time in forever. I skipped out on a month to a month and a half due to pulling a back muscle and having to move and whatnot. Anyhow, I pushed it pretty hard and am kind of stiff today. Huzzah! Did a bit of everything: calisthenics, weights, cardio. Nom nom nom. At the end, while I was waiting for my friends to finish up something, I spent a while on the rowing machine. This was my downfall. I rowed 1000 metres in about 5 minutes, and left my shoulders kind of exhausted (my arms were shaking when we left, and I thought it was amusing, because I'm cool like that). I WILL get in better shape, damn it.

...I'm really tempted to get night violet mattene. I kind of think a grape purple lip could be fun.

 

[KikiB]

Eek...I could not rock a purple lip. Purple for me stays on the eyes. Goes back to a bad experience in 7th grade when I rocked the W&W Halloween lipsticks...to church. Yep.
