According to face chart, and if it's Pret-a-Papier look, it's Melba?

Thanks! They want me to come back Friday, so I think that's a good sign.

Seriously...you'd think that it would register whether I have an eye shadow or not. Memorability wasn't ringing any bells. I was totally convinced I'd skipped it the first time around.

Since I have a smartphone, I think I need to update my MAC spreadsheet and keep it with me at all times...just so I don't go buying stuff I already have. I friggin' B2M'd for Satellite Dreams a few weeks ago, convinced I didn't already have it. WRONG...there it sits, already depotted in my palette. And now I have another one. Grrrr...

Tissue weight has a peachy pinky thing going with it. Kinda like Nanogolod but softer. It's one of those colors than can look different depending on how/where you apply it or how you're looking at it. I think it's more versatile than Hey. Hey to me is just a straight up beige gold type of color. Very easily duplicated.

Forgetting you have an eye shadow is the first sign of a problem

 

[purrtykitty]

I'm wayyy past "problem".

Well I know I am tempted to buy Cut to Fit and I don't know why b/c I know damn well I don't like that kind of color on my eyes. Mac needs to hire me. I'm such a self enabler. Nevermind being able to convince other people. I talk myself right into things I initially skip.

 

[purrtykitty]

I've done that a couple of times. Convinced myself I can 'make it work'...more often than not I end up selling whatever 'doesn't work, and never was gonna work in the first place'.

-laughing at this- no worries, I think some of us face the same problem too.
then there are the "dang, I should have gotten THAT instead" thinking after items sell out.

Yes. I'm trying to leave SAKS. Not a cool place to be anymore. I had an interview with J.Crew. I want to know what kind of discount I can get. And I would be within walking distance of a Mac and Sephora.

 

[purrtykitty]

Ooh, I love J. Crew! And even better that it's near MAC & Sephora.

Ahhh, I see...so you'll make money, then walk over to MAC & Sephora & spend it

yeah, I get the idea

 

[sss215]

The face charts on maccosmetics.com are amazing! I am starting like this collection more and more each day. Can't wait to see Kraft lipstick.

Yes. I told my buddy Saturday I want them to make my check payable to Sephora and Mac. Split it right down the middle.

I'll come back from break with my hands all swatched up. "No, it's not a rash!".

 

[aeroerin]

WAAHOOOO!

can you tell I'm excited?

So I ordered:

Instant Chic blush
Made to Order l/s
Dressmaker, Dressmaker l/s
Fold & Tuck l/g
and paid $5 for 2-day shipping.

all for less than $70! I'm ridiculously excited!

I can't wait for everyone's swatches! :] I know I'll post mine in the thread once my BOX ARRIVES!

is my favorite day. that black box full of goodies!!

 

[GlamQueen21]

I have Coral Crepe p/p in my bag and waiting on Thursday to purchase it.

 

[shontay07108]

Anyone want to take a guess at what will sell out first? I'm going for Instant Chic and Coral Crepe. They'll be gone in a New York minute.

Getting caught up in a Mac trance, I forgot I just bought a MUFE shadow that's a pretty good dupe for Tissueweight, so I will skip that one.

 

[AudreyNicole]

^^ I agree with the first sell out predictions. I can't wait for Instant Chic, in case I haven't mentioned that already.
