Yess

which means closer to getting to buy MAC in the US without our stupid UK prices!
OT but how much would you girls budget for make up on holiday? I'd love to spend everything I have to my name but I can't! also, any great places to shop in Orlando? other than the malls and things but like which actual stores?

back on topic, what do you think they mean by 'Warm Black'? because to me black is like...black? it's not really warm or cool do you think maybe it has gold in it or something? if it does I may have died and gone to heaven!

i freaking love both the premium and prime outlets at either end of international drive. cco's and coach stores =

plus the florida mall is great for department stores and a normal mac store too. plus lots of other cool shops. even the food court is amazing! so much choice! the mall at mellenia (spelling?!) has mac pro but the other store are more designer so only go there if you want to spend serious money! a stunning looking mall though - i think it is newly built.

as for budget last time i went i had about £300 for cosmetics and then about £200 for other spends like clothing and random stuff from theme parks. then me and nick had joint spending money too for things we both wanted like dvd's and such

speaking of food outlets in orlando - i went to this place called ponderosa and it was AMAZING! one of those all you can eat places, but it had everything you can think of! and so cheap!

you're so right! black is black... anything else is reeeeeeeally dark whatever-colour-it's-mixed-with... but i think with the chill collection [correct me if i'm wrong] there was a black shadow with gold glitter in it, think it was called mont black? don't think it was a VP though

i also loved golden coral for food! that was all you can eat and freaking awesome value! oh and outback steakhouse is nick's fave place to eat

and yes you are right about the chill collections black with gold glitter shadow. never got that one though but it sounded nice!

Last time I went to Florida I was in a bad place (I was in probably the darkest place I've ever been, I have depression) and I didn't get to full enjoy everything because my mind was preoccupied with that, but I did get to go to Prime and premium, but I never realized CCO's existed! when I got back and I got super into MAC I was kicking myself for not going or enjoying the July/August 08 collections, I bought a shadow from one without even realizing! I was so oblivious I didn't even realize about the PRO store.

The food is one of my favourite parts, I grew up in Saudi Arabia and importing from the US was cheaper than the UK so I grew up with Hershey's chocolate milk and lucky charms so living the UK was different, I mean, McDonalds without play areas!?

I'm thinking about $500 at the moment, but I'm going to go through my wishlist and see what I really want and then work it out! this is my post exam job lol.

I'm really wondering how warm black is going to work, Mount Black sounded really nice but often I find glitter just goes poof! I hope this ones like black with gold and green 'reflects'

depression is horrible

i was like that when my family went to new york, i barely remember it because i was in my own wee bubble. but as you'll know, it passes and i'm sure you'll enjoy it this time round

$500 sounds like lots, but when you start walk into the pro store you'll be like

I WANT IT ALLLLLLL!!!!

hehe i remember lucky charms being sold here, but they got banned for being too sugary or something. growing up there must have been pretty awesome, though

 

[LMD84]

i'm sorry that you were depressed and in a bad place last time you went to florida. but at least it'll be like going to a brand new place perhaps this time. and you can fill it with more happy memories!

 

[DollyGirl92]

Thankyou guys, even though I was in a bad place I did enjoy myself at times, like seaworld, I wanted a whale so bad!

but it's two weeks and 6 days till we go and harry potter world opens tomorrow! so we'll be one of 'first' people to go!

I'm trying to be all rational and like "I don't need this, I can live without it..." but I know me, and if there's something that I am very very good at, it's spending money! MAC Pro is going to be damn fun! I'm in love with glitters!

 

[spunky]

i can just imagine someone coming back through customs with a whale tail sticking out of their suitcase... nope, nothing to declare *whistles*

the MAC Pro there will be bigger than the london one too, it'll have everything! you'll love it

I don't think I have a MAC Pro in my entire state...

Hopefully I will get to go to one next time I am in California.... They should have one there, right? I have no idea where MAC Pros are located...

Apprently they weight more than the 23kg baggage allowance, I MAY have to settle for a toy one! my pup's got one of the little shamu bowls for water when he's out with us and when he's finished he grabs the little plastic tale and tips the rest of the water out, it's the sweetest thing!

I'm pretty sure they'll have one, you can do a search on the MAC site but you can also apparently order by phone.
