Ok, here I am. Sorry, been away a while for job, so we now have 2 entire pages of posts since my latest comment. However, I would like to summarize the mail situation for shipping in Italy, so other people can easily understand the situation. 1) the mail service in Italy is DREADFUL!!! Even when I send a postcard from here (Venice) to Padua (about 30km). So, postal service is SLOW, extremely slow. 2) there are bigger problems when you are sending something from outside Europe to here, due to the custom for freight. Which is the normal schedule? Well, if the officers at the C.F.F. are not checking the package, no problem. You usually get your package in about 2x (number of days usually needed), just for the slow service. The problem arises when they actually CHECK the package. They keep about 10 days to check it (read: open it and send you a form that must be filled). In this form you have to write absurd things like the chemical components of the product. Well, I AM NOT A CHEMIST! You must specify where the product has been made, if it goes against laws, etc. Now, how am I supposed to know this kind of details? Easily, since MAC pigments are imported in Italy, there should be no problem. But you have to write all the info in the form, info that I simply don't know. Then, you have to send back the form. So other 10 days. Finally, at the CFF, officers SHOULD, in theory, send you your package. This is the big question: why do they take about 2 months in doing that??? 
Moreover, sometimes, after all these steps, the package simply disappears! So, please, if you send things in Italy, write that it is a gift!!! |

Tonight I noticed a bunch of Hello Kitty makeup at Target. Don't really care so didn't look too close at what it was, but my husband was having fun asking me if I didn't need all of it because it has Hrllo Kitty on it. I was just like um... No. HK is too girly for me, I prefer Bad Badtz Maru.

I'm unsure as to what I'm going to get from this collection right now
I had it all planned but not having seen swatches and things is making me a bit unsure for some reason...I know, I'm weird!
Looking forward to more information on the 30th thanks to Erin!

Yeah- me too. I was psyched about Later pigment, but now I don't know if I even want it w/o seeing swatches. Swatches will be the decider.

That line of makeup is geared more towards children than adults. Plus to me, makeup is to be fun. Some packaging can be sleek and black, others can be colorful and playful. Most of the time it's put away not worn out like clothes and jewelry.

Well, if that's the case, then maybe I'll just get the other two pigments. I barely use Pink Opal as it is.

Well I had looked forward Pink Opal for a while, without being able to find it, so I suppose I am still of the opinion of buying all pigments... the only thing is that I would like to see a swatch over fair skintone (like mine!). Usually there are many things wonderful on darker skintone but simply invisible on mine
