She told me that there were very limited stock for this collection, so I placed orders for: Blow Dry l/s All's Fair l/s Strawberry Blonde l/g Red Devil l/g Quick Tease l/g All 3 MSFs ...Which is gonna cost me about SGD$280 I'm uncertain about whether I should add B-Babe and the brushes to my list. And do I really need all 3 MSFs? The money issue is quite worrying because I'm just a poor student.

That's great! when will you get them?

That is probably the most sane piece of advice, ever.

Holy crap, it is really just makeup, yet I feel like I can't live without it sometimes. The lemming for LE stuff is particularly strong, because I worry about it being sold out in a jiffy if I don't buy them asap. Maybe that's the tactic MAC uses to lure us into buying more than we should; I don't see any other brands coming out with as many LE collections as MAC does.

Thanks! It starts retailing on Friday, but since I'm friends with my MA, she can help to safeguard my products for a longer time.

It's not just maybe, that's definately the Tactic

It just makes people go crazy when they know that something is limited edition. Sadly I'm not that much of an exception, though I try to buy only the things that I really like.
I'm so happy that I had the will power to leave Knight to the counter, I allready have Knight Divine, Silver Ring and Electra so I really don't need Knight but still I'm lemming it..

^^ Can you B2M for any of the lippies? I got all 3 msf's but only b/c I really liked them all. The 226 is a must I think, I think that taking the amt in cash that you want to spend is probably the best idea yet...just don't sneak in the credit card in your back pocket

I'm kinda ticked off right now. Denmark and Finland both have BBR, but in Sweden we have to wait until the 15th. What is up with that?

^That's really weird!

I hate this tactic! I have an ongoing war with my conscience almost everyday.

That really sucks! When you see BBR in stores, I'm sure you'll forget all about the long wait because the products are gorgeous and definitely worth the wait (although it still sucks).

Yes that's a new skincare range. I've seen it at counters here too. My MA said there's one product she can't live without from there, but I can't remember what off the top of my head, and I'm not going to the MAC website (boo!) to check it out.

it sucks but you should consider yourself lucky because Moxy and I do not even have Mac stores/counters in our countries

Oh yes, that would definitely be worse, not even having access to MAC!

I'm just a bit surprised and annoyed that we don't get BBR for another few weeks, since our neighbouring countries do
