Its one of the best kept secrets in shipping whether its MAC or anywhere else. Its a waste of money period to pay for early shipping unless you want your package on/before a certain date in which case it would be best to pay for overnight shipping. Otherwise your package will probably get there 2 to 3 business days using regular shipping.

Eep! I'm stressing that this collection will be released online before a decent number of swatches come out.
I really want a bronzer from the collection. I already have 'Golden' from the permanent collection, so I was hoping for something slightly darker to add more dimension.
I'm super pale (lighter than NC15) with slightly cool undertones. Recommendations pretty please

I can't speak for all websites, but this hasn't been my experience with MAC online at all. Regular shipping gets me my order in 7 to 8 days (I am in the western part of the USA) and with 2-Day shipping I get my package within 3 to 4 days. So there is a difference not just in the processing time but in the actual transit time, which is clearly stated on MAC's website. Maybe it doesn't hold true if you live near the East Coast, I don't know

I don't know I just think its a waist of money getting 2 day shipping or whatever because it's going to come eventually and sometimes for me when I get regular shipping online it usually comes 3-4 days or less. I guess it depends on where it's shipped from. I guess from the west coast it's a difference lol. I've never ordered anything online on Mac, so I will see how fast or low it comes on regular shipping.

does anyone know if the 167 brush would be good to apply mineralize skinfinish natural all over the face? I'm thinking about adding the brush to my list

That's what I use it for and it's great!

Personally, I would recommend Nude on Board if you have noticable yellow / olive undertones and apply it lightly (for example using the 167 brush). Pinkdollface is also NC 15 but she uses Sun Dipped. Or you could try the matte bronzer from the permanent line.

Don't get it.

You might get the peachy tone to work for you but it's a hassle searching it out. Other products work better for you. There will be lots of other items that'll look great on you!

Lol, it feels wrong to write this but I truly think that Crew is a pretty waste of money for you. For reference I'm Nw10 and I've stood by and looked at the pretty summer specials for two years in a row just wishing my skin was a bit warmer.

Thank you so much - I''ve suspected that was true but have been lured by how pretty it is.

I just got back into MAC last fall; where was I when they released My Paradise and Marine Life (both of which would have been perfect)?!

I have Matte Bronze from the permanent; I think I'm going to go for Nude on Board this time, but I'll wait to swatch in the store. I have yellow undertones and as long as it isn't too shimmery, I think it will work for me.

 

[MACerette]

It's not shimmery on me.

i guess if they are really busy, they use whatever number of days they need/they promised for that particular shipping category. if they aren't busy, they'll often give virtually immediate shipment...because they can.

i've had both situations happen to me. usually i'm not in that big of a hurry to receive my items, so i just pick whatever shipment i can afford, and see what comes out of it!

Absolutely.


One a related note: My package is already out for delivery.

So yes, overnight shipping can really work (in a literal sense), though usually it takes at least two days until it gets to me.

 

[Audrey C]

The Canadian warehouse is close to me, so I often get items I order the next day, but have never upgraded shipping (I order enough to get free shipping).

YAY! I just got the lip pencils, salute, red racer, sail la vie lipsticks, fast fleet blush, the brush & the large tote

On a side note, does anyone see the green ribbons icons under my photo to the left?? I don't know what it means

It's a nice sheen, but not a shimmer.

The oils were very lovely but I am too old for that kind of product.




LOL I have been wearing the bronze one for two years and love it. I don't think age would be an issue with it- it is quite subtle.

I was thinking that a lighter bronzer would be good as an all over wash of colour; I tend to use Matte Bronze in lieu of blush.

BTW, you have me concerned re the N3/C3 thing; I called and asked them to hold my order yesterday. I like the way N3 looks on me, but I'm going to get a tester for C3 to be certain. My inner arm is NC20, but my face is darker and my cheeks have more red. The person I spoke to on the phone said I sound more like C3 to her.

All I want is the right foundation. Is that too much to ask? I've been told I'm NC30, NC25-27, NC35-40 (?!), C4 and now N3. All in a week.

If I ever come to Canada, I'll match you.

That is really bad....

They're viewable only by you, but they're 'thanks' you receive from people via the green thumb icon at the bottom of your post.
