MAC - Semi Precious Discussion

[MACcrazy]

this is why i'm so happy my usual MA is the manager but thats terrible! someone should train these SA's better!

this! I only do pre-orders with managers. I've had terrible experiences in the past (once a SA charged me not twice, but THREE TIMES for the same order...so the total was over $400 for four Mac items.....

). It's less hassle if the boss handles your order!

well that's terrible for you girls! they should be glad they didn't mess w/ me..... get between me and my MAC and you may not be seen around for awhile

I would have really gone off if they would have charged me three times! You have no idea!!!!!!!!
What is up with some of these SAs???????

 

[UrbanSweetheart]

dude....I fussed & I cussed.....and this was at the Mac counter in NORDSTROM! I'm a really nice person, but overcharge me an arm & a leg, and I become THE HULK!!!

 

[UrbanSweetheart]

she was a complete air-head...seriously. She claimed she had no idea what went wrong...UH HUH. YEA, WHATEVER. I think it had something to do with her wanting commission on the item, but I'll never know the truth.

Hmm...it sounds pretty strange to me. I mean, she either had to swipe the card numerous times or did something strange. I don't know. i don't get it, I really can't figure out how it happens three times. I understand maybe twice because they didn't think a card went through, but thrice makes no sense...

 

[UrbanSweetheart]

yes, that's why I was sooo pissed! I would've been more understanding if it was only twice. But nooooo...this girl did it THREE times. NOT ok.

etheir the register was acting goofy or the SA was hoping to be a lil sneaky....

I went to my MAC Pro store today and buy more things that I was thinking ! I bought all the 4 MSF + 2 blush (the coral and the pink one) + Jade's fortune es and Golden Glaze ! The eyeshadow are so much beautiful in person !! I really like the color of Jade's fortune and it was not in my list at all!

I am so pissed and disappointed at my Pro store. I called this morning and put my items on hold, which were blue sheen, golden gaze and dark indulgence. I got there after work and decided to look at the other products from the launch. I originally just wanted Golden Gaze and the some brushes, but after playing with the brushes I decided that I didn't care for them that much, but I guess that's just me. Maybe I will play with them again and see how I feel. So, i pick two shadows and some other items that I needed and told the SA at the register that I had some stuff on hold.​

She looked around for it but could not find my bag and said that it's ok, she would just go and get the items out of the drawer for me. She returned with blue sheen, dark indulgence and faux gold. I said, oh, no, it's supposed to be golden gaze, she said oh, ok, I just picked up the first thing that I saw that said gold, I laughed. She went back to the drawer and came back empty handed. She said that she didn't see it, that they must have sold out. So she began looking for my bag again. She still didn't see it. The SA then told me that she could call me if they find it, but she could call another store for it. I said but you are the only Pro store and the other stores won't have it until next week. So, she said that hopefully they find it, but she could have another store hold it for me on Thursday. So, I got screwed out of the one shadow I wanted the most because either, A it was not really put on hold or B, the bag was put in a dumb place. Though I think we have option C, which is that my hold was given to someone else because one of the girls that had stuff on hold told me that they almost gave her the wrong bag and she had to tell them, uh, no, it's not mine. ​

I am so pissed and disappointed right now *cries*​

i'm sorry that happened to you. that sucks a mean one

hey everyone so i went to pro in NYC to get my goodies and I will be making a video tmrw but I want to give u some insight to what I got.
I bought all 12 mineralize eyeshadows- OMG these eyeshadows are BEAUTIFUL! DO NOT GO BY TEMPTALIAS SWATCHES THEY ARE MUCH MORE VIBRANT like Karlasugars swatches. I played with these today and an amazing base is rubenesque and bare study paint pot for most of them! I recommend using the 242 brush, pack on the color, spraying some fix plus and WALLAH you have a gorgeous eye color. DEF try these at the store!
I bought warmth of coral and feeling flush blush- These are SOOO smooth in texture. warmth of coral leans more on the peachy orange side than actual coral and feeling flush is a beautiful blue pink!
I bought all 4 MSFS because these are honestly stunning- Pearl is my absolute favorite it has like a plum/copper middle and a cream outter area ( u will see swatches in my haul video)
As far as lipstick I just picked up (B2M) lush amber which is a very sheer nude ( reminds me of sandy b but more nude) and gem of roses which is an amazing strawberry pink color
I picked up the charged water and OMG it is amazing for dry skin! This actually hydrates ur skin while something like fix plus just removes the powder look.
I picked up the 128, 234 and 235 brushes- haven't played with them but ill explain them in the video
no creme sheens because pro is releasing glam glass july 21 ( 1 week erly) so I want to buy those instead

Thanks a mil. I have green eyes too and although I have a few pink tone shadows...swish, sweet lust and cranberry...I don't have anything similar so if fallout is the only issue I will just take my time applying it and apply a bit of loose powder under my eyes before application....
my list is getting long....5 shadows, 2-3 brushes and a couple of cremesheen glasses - love love love mineralize eye products, brushes and cremesheen glasses (fav lip gloss formula by far) so this collection will be my biggest collection haul ever!

Hint of Sapphire will look gorgeous on you! I think Blue Sheen would be more limited, since it's much darker and more dramatic, but if you love that sort of thing, try it in a store and see.
Crystal Pink could be used as a sheer, very frosty blush or a very frosty all-over color for a pale person - the key is FROSTY and also GREYISH.

Haul vid with lots of swatches! Now i'm wanting some mes again.

 

[sss215]

The 234 is shaped exactly like the 217. the 235 reminds me of a bigger version of the 239, I'm going to play with these this week and report back. I love golden glaze! worth the 20 bucks!

I thought that about the 234, i just hope its not too soft. The stiffness of the 217 's bristles are perfect. If this is the case about the 235, I'm in.

 

[Edelmc]

I will check out that video. Does anybody know of any sites that have reviews of the brushes up yet?

 

[missah]

Liba,
I need your advice!
I keep asking but my mind keeps changing! I'm sorry if its a bother but your opinions and writing is so easy to understand.

Okay, I've decided not to get any Msfs unless I can't get the ones from blog sales but I've decided to limit myself to 6 mes. Just 6=D
My list so far is:
-Clarity
-Hint of sapphire
-Golden gaze
-Blue Sheen
-Quartz Fusion
and either Unsurpassable or Dark Indulgence. I don't know which one to get. I asked my bfs opinion on the mes and he said unsurpassable looks kinda dirty in the he swatches and he'd rather I wear dark indulgence. I think unsurpassable is quite dirty looking without any base but since I havent seen any swatches with bases, i dont know how it looks with maybe trophy under it.
I'm NC25/NW20 asian with brown eyes [between really light and kinda dark brown].

I think the "dirtiness" is what makes Unsurpassable special so I don't think you buy get it and try to clean it up with a base. Dark Indulgence should be nice with your colouring and it's a bonus if it makes the BF happy

just watched the video and its really good. I wasn't going to get smoked ruby because I generally get alot more use out of lighter colours but on the video she mentioned that this would be a great coour for green eyes. I have green eyes and nw10-15 skin. does anybody know if this colour might suit me and if so how would you recommend wearing it?
