Thanks so much Erine. I'm loving Creme Cup, but not so much Shy Girl which I was originally interested in. Hmmmm. And I may skip the glosses as a protest against the price...although TBH I'm kind of sick of everything on my lips being so sparkly, so I guess I'll see how I feel once I see them irl. In any case the price will keep me from buying as many as I otherwise would have. I think MAC is shooting themselves in the foot with these price increases. IMHO they are/were at an interesting price point. If they keep raising prices, esp in this economy, at some point people will just quit on them and either move to buying more items from the drugstore or less items from Chanel or Chantecaille or YSL for the same amount of $ they used to spend on MAC.
