MAC - Holiday 2008 "Red She Said" Discussion

[darkishstar]

I want to skip this collection so badly! But Baby Sparks and Sugarrimmed are calling my name!

Between the two and my NC30 coloring, what would be the better choice?

I got Word of Mouth MES from Red She Said and Bright Side/Gallery Gal MES from Sheer Minerals.

I do not have Date Night, but it looks gorgeous. Can't comment on how it is on pigmented lips since my lips have almost no pigment.

I'm NC44 and Enough Said completely dissolved into my skin - I was only left with a couple of gold flecks on my cheeks. I had to pass on it. Nuance is beautiful to me and gives me this beautiful peachy-orange-gold type glow that I love. Nuance is one of my fave MAC blushes.

Either the MAs are totally lame, or this store didn't get them yet, which both were probably true. Because even if they didn't get it, she should still know what the product is that they're missing.

Dude, I feel bad for you. I know how it feels when I KNOW 100% something is released and the MA is as dumb as dirt and just as bright when it comes to collections. Soweeey.

Very true. I went in yesterday to the counter to pick up petticoat, the 181 brush, check out Red She Said, and buy Gentle mineralized blush.

When I got there, I couldn't find the permenant mineralize display, even though saw the testers in the beaker (including the blushes) and the whole range of mineralize blushes on the shelf. I figured they couldn't put the display up because they ran out of room (there were a lot of other displays up) so I just asked the MA if they had the mineralize blushes. She was like, "yeah!" and then leads me to petticoat MSF, not really what I was looking for, but close, so I didn't get mad, but asked if they had any other small minerlize blushes from may that came back, described them and everything. Then shes like "oh yeah! the blushes here are mineralized." And then she leads to the bpb blushes from red she said, after confirming with a more experianced MA that these were indeed mineralized blushes. At this point I gave up and bought my other items, somewhat annoyed since I saw what I wanted on the shelf, but you can't just walk up and take it, u have to have an MA do it. I really hate that counter, but it's the only place near me I can go, I look really young, so they just assume I'm there to steal the testers or something. Only one MA is nice to me, because she knows I always buy something, but unfortunately she wasn't there yesterday...
