Well first off I have only actually been buying high-end makeup for about a year and a month or so, thus my collection is smaller. I am meaning to eventually get a Fluidline however I love Liquidlasts. I have never used concealer...I have no real need.

As for paints and paint pots, I would love to get my hands on Canton Candy but know that it's damn near impossible.

My collection is diverse enough at the moment though. Diversity is indeed good...it would be more diverse if I didn't work at B&BW because I am constantly buying our product.

Not only are there two Noras, but there are two Katies as well.

I got Canton Candy from the Clearance Bin pretty cheap a bit ago, and it's lovely. I'm not a pink girl at all, but I do like that. Liquidlasts are fantastic.

If they have Visionaire next time I go up to CCO-land, I will be buying it.

 

[Sanayhs]

Some day, some day I will visit a CCO-land... and be in awe of the low prices and joyous things.

I'd be happy if I could score another ticket to a MAC warehouse sale.

 

[KikiB]

Psh I'd be happy to even get the chance to go to one! Hell, that might be a 21st birthday thing for me, if I get enough cash and what not. Then there's the matter of procuring a ticket...

I had no clue that there was another Katie. Very cool!

For some reason that totally made me laugh!

Hannah i hope the pills work this time too

I hate when the prices arent even, too. lol. Why pay 14.50 for something TAKE OFF THE DAMN .50 thats sooooo annoying. Not even for the cost aspect just for the principle lmao

 

[Sanayhs]

Hey, I miss the eyeshadow price that ends in .50! I much preferred $16.50 to $17!

And, you know, be careful or they'll up it to $15 on you.

I just saw this, how depressing. I remember a time when shadows and lipsticks were $11 (cdn) and the mascara was under $10. I may just boycott MAC if the eyeshadows hit $20 (but probably not, lol!).

With the ridiculous excess quantity of LE collections, lots of fun coloured products being discontinued left and right and the prices which are quickly becoming overwhelming (such as $20 for a dazzleglass, and the $2 price jump in the MES...), MAC is starting to lose my attention. I love them, don't get me wrong, but two of my favourite features were always the somewhat reasonable prices and the funky colours. I'm also frowning at how much of the light skin stuff is getting ditched, as there are a lot of us pale folk.

Dear Estee Lauder company: please use other cosmetic lines you own to push the neutral colours and high prices, and let MAC stay fun. You're kind of ruining it, dudes.

 

[KikiB]

A-men. It's a significant jump in EVERYTHING. The MES are up $1, the MSF's will be up $2, the glitters (at least the Reflects ones) went up $1...

You should soooo send them that in an e-mail!

I'd love to hear the response!

 

[Sanayhs]

I probably should email them. Mwahahahaha!

On a happier note, the Thunder Eyes quad is beautiful. It showed up in my mailbox today.

 

[stv578]

Ladies, I'm now having trouble deciding if I want the warm eyes palette from Colour Forms. I have talked myself into getting Play on Plums MES and Gentle MSF blush. I was also going to get Pop Circle lipstick, but I'm hoping to do a B2M for this. So there's my dilemma. I have one gift card worth $25, which would cover the price of the Sonic Chic blush (before taxes of course!). So really, i'd only be adding one additional item to my list if I get both the palette and the MES. And, I've decided not to get Circa Plum (but will ask for a generous sample provided I get my usual MA!). Ah, screw it! I'm getting the palette and the MES!!!

 

[Sanayhs]

So... I've emailed MAC, outlining why I love them and my concerns of late, including colour selection being chopped down to neutrals, leaping prices and the overwhelming number of limited edition collections. I've politely pointed out my thoughts on it as a loyal customer with some sense as to economic reality, and explained my concerns with rational reasoning behind them.

It probably won't do anything, as I am just one girl, but it never hurts to try.

 

[KikiB]

Customer feedback is very big for companies-I know in my company, we take it very seriously to the point where we had printed a survey on the bottom of our receipts that people could call (the incentive was you could get $10 off a $30 purchase) and then each store's results are printed out and drilled into our heads. Also our company is known to bring back products due to popular demand.

 

[KikiB]

Oh and I just got my Angelcake shadow in-WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? With this (beautiful frosty pink) I may just avoid getting Sunset B. from Starflash. Now I'm still waiting on Marigold...
