Allan you are mental ... but I love you!

wow that's a whole lotta questions, but all helpful. thanks for posting this.

Ohhhh this was very helpful, but I would like to know more about the Sundressing collection and if there will be new MSFs this summer!! I'm dying to know!!

Thanks for posting this, Allan. It was really helpful.

I just read in a thread that was posted today from a girl that went to her mac counter today that there are 6 new skin finishes comming out this summer!Doesnt everyone think that mac should just make MSF's a perm item already.

Allan

When she said Sweetie Cake will be available at all counter and shops, does she mean US only?
Great live chat btw!
