i think if some one is doing you a favour by cping a product, the least you can do is cover the fees

yeah i was thinking the same thing. its kinda of evil to have someone cp for you and they lose money out of it when they are in fact doing YOU the favor. doesn't this make people NOT want to CP for others if that was the case? I was thinking it is weird in that respect. Selling items through sale/swap is a different story though.

I returned 2 items to brigette's bouqitue and it cost me $4.16 to send 2 stupid cripple brushes. one was damaged, and one was not what I thought it was

I really want to know how the turquoise piggy compares to mutiny too. i really love mutiny, but want a more intenser version! gigglegirl had given me a sample and i pressed it and i love it wet for the intense look. dry on its on is just meh. but then again back then i did not have any nyx jumbo pencils!

CPs are not the same as sales. If someone just decides to purchase items for the sole purpose of resale (usually for profit or clearing out the traincase), then yes, the seller can be responsible for the fees, if that is the agreement between the buyer and seller. CPs, however, are specific purchases in response to a request, and since the CPer is being reimbursed, it's not a sale.

But enough about the specifics of CPs right now, I'm so excited for these pigments! I'm generally not a blue fan, but I am looking forward to Partylicious. It looks so pretty!

mutiny is sky blue, with shimmer. partylicious is turquoise with silver shimmer. turquoise is no where near sky blue. they aren't even close.

 

[GlamYOURUs]

It sounds like it would be a sparkly shimmery teal

 

[smashedseries]

I'll be happy to pay the pp fees and such, honestly...

Hopefully mac will stop making collections region-specific in future because it really is a source of unnecessary inconvenience.

sparkley, yes. shimmery, no.

 

[GlamYOURUs]

Oohh would it be like Emerald Green with the chunks of sparkles in them? OMG a teal with sparkles would be divine and so mine!

 

[erine1881]

Yes ma'am! Sparkly like emerald green (as opposed to shimmery like mutiny). And remember, its turquoise, not teal. Completely different! Trust me, its sooo worth it! All three pigments are!

Ooh,I can't wait to get my hands on these pigments

There will be a list in the middle of May who from the US will offer a CP for others.

That means you can contact them here on Specktra, send them money via paypal and they buy the products for you. They will send the products to you by mail.

You had me going until I read about the "chunky sparkles". It's funny, I never considered mutiny to be just blue, I always thought it was turquoisy looking on me, but in the jar it does look light blue. I haven't used it in such a long time. I wish the turquoise came with gold shimmer instead.
