I called the MAC store and asked about it and the MA checked the other stock and they were all the same. Did anyone else have this? Are they all like this?

They look terrible!! I got 2 and they are not even the same length. I mean the difference is significant, about 1/2 an inch, very noticeable. It is just a 188 with the handle cut down (and not very well). There is no country of origin stamp on it. The 168SH has the country stamp on the back but I am guessing that the 188 does not have it because it was a 188 cut down so the country stamp was cut off. The rounded end is not even finished properly it looks like it was simply painted black. The sticker on the sleeve is not clear it's white. All around bad job on this one!! Disappointing because the 168SH is so cute!!

this is all very odd about teh SH brushes.... my 129SH is very good quality. That was from the fafi collection. I guess if you guys are not happy you should take them back and perhaps swap for the full sized versions or get a refund

Every other SH version I have is perfect as well; even the 168sh from the same collection as the 188sh. It seems to just be a 188sh phenomenom. Very strange given the quality of their brushes!

perhaps the quality control staff were having a party while that brush was made?!

lol!

Just out of curiosity - how long does MAC usually take to send items in the post? I feel ridiculous constantly checking my e-mail to see if my boxes have been dispatched. Not to mention I'm still waiting for Saturday to order Aristo-cat if it's still available by then. I'm going friggin' insane here. I want my PP quad, lol.

Because the NK staff said they had gotten so few of each item, I was wondering maybe things were already selling out at that counter. But it doesn't matter now, because I got the BB quad today at Åhléns!

 

[Karen_B]

Like I said above, I caved and got the BB quad today. I really like it. The BB shadow ad Club are definitely similar, but BB has a grey/green sheen on me that Club does not. Also, the quad has Skintone 2 which for my money is one of the best gold eyeshadows ever. So I am happy I got it!

Oh and Elegant-one, I got Pet Me blush! It's really pretty!

24hrs ago, LOL.

I'm just so impatient. But usually with me they dispatch in that 24hr time. I know I should be patient but because I rarely get to buy MAC I get ridiculously excited about "little black box day" lol.

[PeachTwist]

Also this courier job is hard work and my back and body just ache/hurt when I get home. I really pulled my back last week lifting this heavy box . Ugghhhh

I use Blackground, and Indianwood too.. actually any gel/gps will work

I am so sorry to hear about your work.. life can be so trying sometimes

 

[LittleMaryJane]

Today I wore Antique Green with Parfait Amour -- blended with AG for a darker shade-- on the eyes, Aristocat on the lips. I am so excited about fall colors!

I'll see what happens with BG or Indianwood the next time I try BB. Thanks also about the job. I went from a receptionist for years to being a courier....quite a change and it is hard work

This reminds me of a color called 100 Strokes e/s from the Blonde, Brunette and Redhead collection. I freaking love that color.

I hope you can get your money back.

 

[GlamQueen21]

Today I received Jealous l/g and Drive Me Wild l/s! Love them! I cannot wait to try Jealous l/g with Lollipop Loving l/s! This collection is now starting to break my no buy and I must not let it happen!!

Personally, it looks to me like a redder version of Purple Rite from Style Warriors. The frost is there, but it still looks lovely. If you can find it, grab it.

CLDF is close -- but no ceegar.. it has the same effect on me.. washed out and bleh

but that ACat is yummy

That's terrible! I do hope you get your money back or the right product

I'm glad you got the quad.

When I was there one of the MA's said I got one of the last, but another MA said that they in fact had more than she thought.

Since I don't have Club, this quad is great for me. I used it yesterday with the lightest color as a base, Skintone 2 on the lid, a little BB in the crease and then BB smudged all around the eye slightly dragging it out in a cat eye shape. It really made my eyes stand out, in a good way
