MAC x The Simpsons Collection (Sept 4, 2014)

[crystalunicorn]

His college friends mostly. I like ABQ Uptown a bit for the Melting Pot, MAC, and Lush. We also like Two Fools tavern and he likes some other places in that area (I go for Urban Outfitters). There is a spa I love in Santa Fe but I am not remembering the name at all.

Uptown is great! & I live at MAC & UO haha Ever try boba tea company? There are some bomb drinks on the menu. There's one by UO I believe.

Erine, thank you for being the 100% most reliable source on the web for MAC info, more so than any beauty blogger or instagrammer. Unlike the latter, you have nothing to gain-- neither clicks, commission, page views, or followers. When it is 2 f*cking AM and a new member asks, "Can (insert product) work on my (insert skin tone)?" you are there. When the forums and threads are all dead because we spent all our money on the Osbournes, you bring Specktra back to life on a Friday night. You don't HAVE to do these things. Yet you do so graciously and often without thanks. So if you are pissed off that people are stealing info and not crediting you, you have every right to say so HERE. You are a valued member of your community. And if anyone wants to take issue with Erine's trademark snark, I ask you to post the same questions and "MAC, we need the color story PLEASE" prayers to your instagram merchants and your ebayers that mark stuff up 200%. I am sure they wouldn't extend you any courtesy. Erine, please don't let a few people's comments turn you off. I noticed that one of them is someone who was "caught" selling LE stuff at high markup last year... So maybe your "stop stealing my pics" comment hit too close to home!

Totally agree with your whole post. Also, it doesn't sit well with me when people hike up their prices on LE products. There's eBay for that.

Wholeheartedly agree Mousy! As an English prof, I deal with plagiarism like you wouldn't believe! Between the misinformation regarding what constitutes it and the sheer laziness of people, it definitely deserves more awareness.

Oh dear goodness! You must have to drink yourself to sleep at night I remember being a student in college and having to hear the "cite your sources" speech and the "No, Wikipedia IS NOT a credible source for your paper" discussion. I was a freshmen sitting in class like "How do these ppl not know this??? my high school teacher used to dig into us over this stuff, how are they doing this still in college?!?" --No lie, my HS English teacher was grading papers and handing them backing saying "This is NOT AOL instant messenger, Your (or you're) is not spelled U-R" And she had a heavy west african accent. We loved her sooo much!

I think the issue with that was begging for info here on who had stock, snagging a lot, bragging about hauls, and then selling on ebay.

 

[crystalunicorn]

YES! He loves the teas.

Love them too! Idk about some of the product names though lol “nunu”. They have some yummy lattes too.

Oh my god that's even worse.

I definitely enjoy my red wine!

You wouldn't believe some of the stories I could share. LOL. It's bad. I get emails from students that I cannot even decipher!

There is a premium thread here that people pay money to join. I don't know how active it is or how many members there are though.

Ahhhh. I see it now. Unfortunately that's outta my price range. (Gosh I'm cheap) :lmao: Although doing $15 one is rather eye catching. And despite my cheapness I still like the idea of Possibly posting those exclusive details on the forum section and playing the "game" (that was used for Rocky Horror thread) in non-premium threads. I'm super curious to see what would happen if it was done this way...like, how quick would these IG "Bloggers" (which they are not... most of them are trying to get free makeup or make money) have info. Just my cheap opinion :lmao:

 

[NaturallyUrs]

...but of course this is all up to the lovely ladies sharing their info. By right, they dont have to but I REALLY like the game. I didn't get to participate but I had fun guessing.

Oh my......i tell you stuff always happening on days I work and can't even pick up my phone. I see specktra was quite stormy today. I'm so sorry about what has happened to Erin once again, @erine1881 you are very important to us, however this is your info ppl are stealing; and you have all the rights to whatever you decide. Guessing games has been fun and has liven this forum big time (makes us work for it). @Dolly dear please don't go you, and so much others has bring so much entertainment here. We are all here because we all have an addiction for makeup and upon that addition we have become a family. I truly love you all here. :grouphug:

 

[awickedshape]

Sideshow Bob is probably my favourite Simpsons character and I quite like the description of Sideshow You, so it'd be nice to get that one. I'll surely be hunting for swatches.

 

[rocksteadybaby]

I don't think people got upset at the idea of trying to be friendlier to others. For what you said before, I mean some people are sarcastic/use sarcasm so they are going to be like that on here as well.

I agree I have a very sarcastic sense of humor in person and when I become upset it shows even more. But that what makes me so awesome lol JK. I try my best to be pleasant to everyone on here but I do have a very low tolerance for Drama Queens or Diva's. Usually if there is a discussion or topic I don't like I just keep on scrolling. Sometimes its hard for me to bite my tongue but for the most part I feel I do a pretty good job of it. I like the way the forum is and I just feel like nothing needs to change about the way things are. Yes it would be nice if everyone can get along but I refuse to continue to bite my tongue when the Forum turns to BS I'm sorry but I will call people on it when I see it. Anyways let's just keep enjoying the love we all have for Make-up ompom:

I was hoping it was just you. Well it is you and your 5 little pals. Suck it up and pass on by is my thought.

I enjoy Erin and the other ladies who dig up and post info just like the rest of u girls and i've said plenty of times that it was greatly appreciated. This has nothing to do with them being mad because they have every right to be. Just doesn't have to go on for pages lol.
Its hard to just "pass on by" because i like to read everything on the pages so in order to pass it i need to read it first because i won't know if I'm passing something that has nothing to do with the discussion i want to pass in the first place. so its easier said then done lol
I will always side with specktra on the whole pic stealing/crediting situation but at this point its really inevitable so it just sucks the fun out of reading now for me.

Don't take what i say the wrong way ladies because at the end of the day i love you all.
