Ugh. With the way prices are going, I'm going to have to start getting all my MAC CPed from the US!

$25 for a sonic chic blush and $22 for a bloody electroflash eyeshadow. This is getting ridiculous.

Kiki, dear, I saw your post in the "what common makeup product to you not own?" thread, and... HOLY CRAP, GIRL. There's a lot you don't have!

At least try some gel eyeliner! :p

I would hate to be concealer-less, as my undereye circles and mean, ugly red things.

Why no paints? No paint pots? No... so many things!? :p

K, I'm good now.

Thanks babe! They are doing better, my Angel is still the worst off. But this Kick-Ich stuff I bought is supposed to control it & they all seem to be happy/eating/active which is good.
This is an expensive hobby...I don't know why I fall into the expensive ones!?! Damn MAC, my car & saltwater fish, it's making me nutty!

The worst part is, much as I've been telling myself to avoid these collections, I'm starting to really want a few things - and with these prices, I can't afford them at this time. I really like Fresh Green Mix and Sea and Sky (surprise, surprise - bright colours!). I also like Odd Couple (anyone shocked by that one? :p), but think I can feel non-sad about missing it. And the blushes... hell, if I had the money, I'd probably get all of them! As it is, I'll have to go play with them and figure out if I'm going to cry without any of them. If I really do want anything, I likely seriously will be requesting a CP, as it makes a huge price difference, what with the MAC prices and taxes. What are you thinking you'll get?

I dreeeeeeaaammmm of only having to spend $60 a month on prescriptions! Either with or without the 80% discount via the health plan I'm holding dear until the end of August. Antibiotics can really suck.

I think my least favourite are the kind you have to take four times a day on an empty stomach - because, dude, that can be hard to do! Here's hoping it fixes you up this time.

The regular powder blushes are still $21, while any new powder blushes that come out have been $22, and now these damned mineralized blushes are an appalling $25. You know what's funny, though? Cremestick lip liners are up to $17, while lipsticks are still at $16.50.

These price increases are really getting under my skin, much as I chuckle about lip liners being more than the damned lipsticks.

Hey ladies, finally got a chance to come on here!

Adina, as the saying goes, this too shall pass... i know it sucks when something goes wrong, but you know we're all here for you.

Gigglegirl, hope you feel better. My little guy once needed three rounds of antibiotics before an ear infection went away completely. Not sure what you were given, but if it's Zithromax or something to that effect, it'll work. Good stuff!

Clslv6spd, glad the fishies are coming around, hope the Angel recovers fully.

Nunu, we have the same name!

And now a word on my haul today from my trip to Pro store...

Sonic Chic blushes - Pleasantry, Gleeful and Dainty... these were more shimmery than expected, a nice shimmer, not chunky but still a bit more than i would've liked. Therefore, while i consider them pretty, i prefer the BPB's.

From electroflash, i only got Fresh Green Mix e/s and Fast thrill, Mellow mood lipstick. Both lippies were B2M! Fast thrill is gorgeous! Mellow mood is not terribly exciting but still quite pretty.

Also B2M, i picked up Satellite Dreams and Rose eyeshadow. Passed up on Bio-Green and Bright Sunshine for now. Bio-green was very pretty, but since i got the green MES, i thought i'd wait on that.

I was also eyeing Play on Plums MES, but i wasn't too sure, so I decided to wait till Thursday on that. I was really disappointed in Pink Split, pretty in the pan, but swatched really poorly. Didn't show up and all i got was glitter. Didn't really swatch any of the others, because i wasn't too interested in them

So that's about it! Not a bad haul i'd say. Now i've just gotta wait for Colour Forms on the 11th!

Gigglegirl I hope that this round of antibiotics work for you!

Allison I am glad to hear that the fish are getting better!
smiles.gif
I am still sending good thoughts their way!

I don't know why I am so bothered by the .50 increase. For some reason I don't like it when the shadows or other products aren't an EVEN amount! That is a big pet peeve of mine! (I am strange I know!)

I have narrowed my list down to:
Pink Split
Hot Contrast
Sea & Sky
Pleasantry Blush
Gentle Blush
New View Powder in Light Medium
181SE

That is not as much as I want but it will have to do for now! I am trying to be good!
smiles.gif
But it is sooooo hard!

Really, I like a lil shimmer but not too much. No one has even mentioned that today

So... I caved. I want the 181SE. However, I don't want to pay $36 plus tax. So, I took the ebay-gamble, ordering from someone I've had luck with before, and got the warm pearlizer brush set for $24. More stuff for less money? Yes please!

Ladies, I am here. All of your love and support have truly lifted my spirits just now.

I am gearing up for the new collection releases but its so hard to get excited about minerals. To me they just don't have a stellar color payoff. I am much more excited for future collections.

Nora, congrats on finishing your degree!Was that your ba or phd? Psych was my love in college and still is. What was your focus.

Susanne, are you feeling better? I know you have been very frustrated lately.

Ladies, seriously. I say it a lot i know, but i <3 you all!

You and me both. I went in totally planning on buying Pink Split, but was severly disappointed with this one. I thought a light shimmery pink and grayish duo would be awesome. Whereas Fresh Green Mix went on pretty smooth, somewhat light, but buildable and smooth. Play on plums is actually still calling me name, it was very pretty, but not really plummy, more of a plummy based bronze.

The shimmer on the MSF blushes isn't a bad shimmer. It won't stop me from wearing them to the office! Funny thing was, as I will also be mentioning shortly in the Sonic Chic thread, that I went in so sure i wanted Love Joy, Gentle and Dainty! But Love Joy went on kinda orange on me, and things warm up quite a bit once on my skin, so it was a no go. Definitely not a better textured bronzer type shade. Gleeful was so not on my list, but it's so pretty! Though the MA applied it with a regular blush brush, but um, ya... this one would need a skunk brush with my complexion! Pleasantry really caught my attention as soon as I went over to the display, it is seriously gorgeous, definitely lighter than Sweetness and I'd say a bit cooler. For some reason i didn't even swatch Gentle, so I may look at this one on Thursday as well. I was trying to be good and really didn't play too much! Didn't even notice the prices on the blushes, lol!

I really want the 181SE as well!
