I want Pink Power as well. Look forward to it!

MissQQ, I love your MUFE collection! I only have two eyeshadows. #92 and a green one.

Debi - have fun choosing bronzers! I want everything, makeup-wise, too! I love the Rouge Artist Intense reds. Take a look here! There is a gorgeous red from L'absolu too, do you have it?

Susanne - Thanks, I have #92 too, but it looks blue on my camera! It is that purple e/s in my photos above. I like Pink Power too, but I'm not sure if I'll buy it. I look forward to the WW collection!

<~~~Extremely happy Bimbo! I just used my first pigment! Violet. I didn't even mix it. I just put it on dry and fell in love. Sadly the flash washed the colour out...maybe I can get a picture near a window later. NARS has fallout, BTW Not overly pleased about that. This didn't! I used Vapour, Peacocky colours, White Avalanche and Violet Pigments.

Pigments. I adore you!!

Pardon the sleepy eyes. Up half the night with cramps. Blech.

Hi ladies! Sorry I've been MIA - I got really sick randomly on Friday night (like, throwing up blood! So scary!) and I think it's actually from makeup poisoning - I received Feline in the mail that day, and it was covered in mould! I only had the cap off for a minute to inspect it and then I put it straight back in the box, but I must have inhaled some toxic fumes, because I came down with a fever and chills pretty quickly, and then was sick in the middle of the night. I've gone up north to my family's place with Jerome to relax for the long weekend. I'm feeling much better - not 100% yet, but the "swallowed a vat of nail polish" sensation has disappeared! Sorry I've been missing out on all the fun! I'll be getting some much needed R&R this weekend, so I may not be on as much, but I'm OK!!!

Lots of love xoxo

OMG~Jen~You poor thing. Take super good care of yourself and stay hydrated. What a scary experience. Was this a used product from somewhere? It is reasons like this that I have to admit, I don't buy used makeup. You don't know how old it is, where it has been, etc. and lots of people are still selling off junk (mold, mildew and worse) from homes and shops that were ruined during Katrina and other flooded areas. Unless something is straight from trusted companies or sealed, I don't buy it. I used to work in a pharmacy and they really do need to put expiration dates on MU. I was a pharmacist technician and we learned some pretty gross things about how products start to break down and mutate after a certain time, literally becoming toxic. I hope you feel better soon and take it easy.

 

[JennsJewelz]

Thanks, Debi! Believe it or not, this came straight to me from MAC. I'm furious, and I can't wait to speak my mind about it on Tuesday!!!!! I've heard stories from other people that are similar, too - they must have been kept in a warehouse or something that was damp or too warm before shipping. Hopefully I can get some free product out of this!!!

 

[ElvenEyes]

OMG! That is so disgusting. And means for suing. I certainly believe you can get quite a lot of goodies if they want you to keep your mouth shut! Is it a pigment or what sort of item is Feline? Now I am so grossed out!

Feline is the Kohl Liner that was released with Cham Pale - very black, and I was hoping to use it for tightlining and smokey eyes, which many ladies do. It's one of their most popular "cult" products. it gets repromoted very often, and so I'm wondering if they're trying to get away with selling off old stock!

 

[ElvenEyes]

That is what I am wondering. If it is something that keeps coming back maybe there are batches of really old icky stuff. Definitely no laughing matter. With their turnover you wouldn't think something like this could even happen, but if someone had some old stuff tucked away in a drawer (a store, not a person!) and sent it back, Lord knows how old it might have been. Major eeew factor. And poor you. Not a fun weekend.

 

[LMD84]

Debi violet pigment looks so pretty on you! i swear it was made for you!! me and Susanne both love violet too! definately a top 5 pigment!



did you happen to see the batch code on the box or liner itself? in fact do the liners have batch codes on them?! and i havent got feline liner and now i dont think i will! it has put me off a little! they must have spilled something on it for it to go like that surely?!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Lou~I am insanely in love with lavenders, violets and then pinks and various browns, taupes and plums on my eyes. Of course, now I love brighter colours too, and greens, coppers, etc. But violet has always been my favourite. I wear a lot of purple, too, so it goes well!

I bought three lippies by Revlon. I will have to do a photo and swatch of my latest rose and reds. I haven't even had the chance to look at them. Hubby is grabbing us some very fattening food, because we feel like it. Big Macs and fries. I will be the next one sick!

 

[LittleMaryJane]

Hi ladies. Did you all have nice weekends?

 

[shadowaddict]

Jenn-- glad you are on the mend. Do call MAC. I'm sure they will tell you to throw it away and refund or replace or both. Also make sure you follow up with an email to customer service, (just folow the contact us part on website). This will go to a different department. Tell them exactly what happened and how sick you got. They will probably offer you a certain amount in product of your choosing. I have emailed them before about a concern and they have emailed back and told me to choose anything up to $35 and just reply back with what I would like.

MAC is very good about the batch codes, pulling product and sending it to the CCO's and then pulling it from there when its time. I'm sure this is like mentioned a warehouse mishap or something of that nature. Customer Service would definitely want to know about this.

 

[shadowaddict]

Susanne--glad to see you back here as well. I hope you like your WW items when you get them. I have dark brown lashes so the mascaras did not work for me. I really like the MA blush and Marquise'd l/s X2. I still can't decide if PP if is going to work well for me.

 

[Nzsallyb]

hey ladies! awesome weekend away with my man, so did not want to leave him tho. but i had packages waiting for me when i got home, the katy perry polishes and a MAC cp (f+b foundation and vanilla pigment - forever out of stock in NZ!!)

so was a good thing to come back to

i am going back to see him in 2 weeks, cannot wait!

how are all you ladies? i went in to check out nars again, and i just wasnt impressed, i was drawn back to mac. but was strong and resisted the peacocky shadows, they are huge!!!

 

[kittykit]

Hi ladies! I hope your weekend was great. I spent the 2 days at home, relaxing, eating and watching Dexter with M.

The snow is back again! It's -10°C and cold!!

I was tidying up my room yesterday and found plenty of MAC stuffs still brand new in their boxes. I think I'm going to put them up for sale.

I have MUFE Moulin Rouge and the red is stunning! It isn't drying and I have dry lips. If I put a tiny bit of balm first the application is perfect. It is a satin finish, not a matte finish. Mac's matte and satin finishes are too dry for my lips. I'm going to the MUFE store tomorrow as there is a 30% discount. I hope to buy some goodies! Wanted Uplight but I called to check this afternoon and they don't have stocks.

kittykit- which part of Malaysia were you at? That is very near to me!

We were in Sarawak and KL. I was hoping we'd have time to go to Singapore but no ;( I'd love to see Singapore... I've been there once - when I was 7! Can't remember anything except for the orchid garden or something?

 

[LittleMaryJane]

We have snow here again too.. It warmed up for about a day or so and now... Tons of snow again. I'm so ready for spring.

Sounds like you have a good rest this weekend! lol we liked to show off our orchids a lot, especially in the past because our national flower is an orchid and very limited species of flowers can grow nicely in our climate. Only hardy ones like orchids thrive. But a lot have changed and now we even have two casinos lol.

Talking about climate, we get a lot of dust here. Do you ladies' houses get dusty within a few hours? I'm curious where we get all the dust from.

 

[ElvenEyes]

Bah, humbug! It is snowing out and it looks so pretty, but I have woken to a very nasty cold. That would explain why I had chills last night. Now I am hot and I just want to plant myself in a snow drift! That would probably not be good. Orange juice, water, soup and back to bed. I knew I was due to get sick. I shouldn't have said anything. Isn't that the way, always?
