I have never seen that happen. I'm sorry you experienced a group of really immature, disrespectful and unprofessional girls. I've seen MA's helping women in their 60's or older and being happy to. I know I'll be wearing make-up as long as I'm around, and if someone has a problem with that, I just may tell them where to go!

I agree, well said Nunu!

I don't think it puts enough pigment on so I tried the 168 and liked that better. What brushes are you guys using for Grand duos?

I've been using the skunk brush from the Costco holiday 2008 brush set.

Nora I think you are amazing and say it so well! (both of you, my Cdn buddy and my UK/UAE buddy) Nora-Cdn girl you are implicitly enabling me, I really am thinking I'd like more Grand Duos blushes. They are to die for! (dare I say it, I love the versatility of these, even more than my MSFS! *gasp*)

I am sick....cold, again. Just got over one a week ago, apparently either/or its stress, work, maybe some allergies? who the heck knows.

But I digress. I'd like to get at least one more blush--I don't like really dark ones (ie Love Thing is too much work for me on a daily basis but I LOVE Dainty). So I have Love Rock and Moon River thus far. Is there anything else that'd be good?
Thanks in advance!!

Love Rock was gorgeous, but I find that kind of pink on me does not look good. The MA's keep telling me Grand Duo will not look good on me because of my warm golden tones..but I bought it anyway and just love it.

That is simply disgusting. These girls should be fired for treating their customers this way. Continue to rock your MAC!

Elaine, Hot Planet is hot on you!

I've been tempted to get these. I played with them again last Friday but I find them a little too shimmery. Despite of that, I thought of buying Love Rock but it was sold out.

Even better for me this way.

Those on Team Maybe, maybe you want to get them before they are gone.

I'm also thinking of getting one more, and it'll probably be Love Rock!

I looove both Hot Planet and Grand Duo. If you want a nice warm peachy/corally glow, then definitely Hot Planet. But Grand Duo looks really pretty with the more straight up pink lipsticks. Which of the two do you need more in your collection?

Hope you feel better quickly. I just spent the last week fighting off a cold, it sucks!

 

[gigglegirl]

Grand Duo reminded me (solid side) of Love Thing from last year. So I hesitated.

LOL I was close to jumping off the "Hot Planet" ledge and I'm sold on it!

Thanks girl!!!

If you don't like dark colors, I'd say get Earth To Earth!

 

[darkishstar]
