Yes it's probably the fluidline because I ordered some like 2 weeks ago and when I got the package it had a plastic thing on the box that said hazard and flammable.

Just my experience with the brush sets...how they're produced aside, I've been using a 'Mineralize' set for over a year and the brushes have been great. I like them for travel, negating the need for me to carry & risk losing my full size brushes. But get this, I wash them EVERY NIGHT and they have held up amazingly well, so much so that I've also ordered the Mineralize set with this holiday collection. Although I like the 187 for foundation, I LOVE the 130 for concealer/MSF/blush....It's pretty versatile. I have three regular size 130s that I use randomly, but I use the 130 short w/o fail, on a daily basis. For me, the two sets I've purchased were well worth the full price and have paid for themselves twofold. I can see getting them at a CCO if you have access to one, but don't miss out for other reasons.Add this to my list of reasons of why I purchase from Nordies instead of directly from MAC! I remember I tried to return Razzledazzler lipglass b/c it smelled funny (and this seemed to be more common than not b/c I remember a few other Specktrettes experienced this) and MAC was SO RUDE to me about it. They made it seem like I was lying about it and offered me a replacement as "one time courtesy". I just wanted to return it (A. so they could see/smell the proof B. so I could just get my money back). I wasn't trying to rip them off and get something for free.
Bringing this, I usually don't like the MAC travel brushes, but I'm kinda digging the GD sets. I want the mineralize set but I don't really care for the 187 (I never use my full size brush simply because I prefer other ones). Is the set still worth getting since I'll be using all the other ones? I know some of the brush sets usually end up at the CCO but I wonder if they really did cut down the quantity produced?
Edited to change "comment" to "common" LOL

That is just very strange. I order from MAC all the time and it's always through overnight shipping. I had many orders that contained fluidlines or paint pots and had a hazardous materials label on the box but still came with overnight shipping and I got them next day. So them telling you that they cannot overnight it because of fluidlines is bs since they did for me more than once. I would request a refund for shipping fees.

I was telling myself the exact same thing, but after seeing more swatches I'm kind of thinking of getting it lol.I skipped natural flirt.
I was just thinking that i could use superb on my eyes if I wanted to. They do seem kind of in the same family. I'm just gonna keep telling myself that!

Thank you Lipstickdiva420!! Oh my, those blushes swatches..they make me want Easy Manner too besides Small Vanity
Also, I really like that she wrote next to each product a possible dupe. I guess I will swatch the dupes she recommended with the GD products and decide what my haul would be.

Hehe, 130 is EXACTLY the reason why I'm interested in the brush sets this year! Actually, aside from the 187, I like all the brushes in the set. Getting to a CCO isn't a problem for me (I usually stop by various locations once or twice a month), I'm just worried that they won't actually make it there...Thinking I should just buy the set using my Nordstrom notes! I don't want to miss out because I waited too long.Just my experience with the brush sets...how they're produced aside, I've been using a 'Mineralize' set for over a year and the brushes have been great.

It's very cool that you wash them every night! I wash mine on my lazy Sundays (which is better than how I used to treat them).
Wondering if MAC would ever release a 130SH. That would be amazing

I recieved my package today. I ordered when it came online and chose overnight shipping and I had one fluidline in my order. I would ask for a credit/refund for your overnight shipping charge.

I got Superb!
I also broke down and got WOG. Just for confirmation, will WOG work well if you are NW40 and above? Also, how similar is it to The Balm's Mary Loumanizer? I'm trying to justify both the purchases and want to buy it before it sells out.

I've ordered fluidlines with overnight shipping and got them the next day. They lied.

Hello!
It's my first post after being a lurker for ages!
My Glamour Daze haul:
Advanced brush set
Mineralize brush set
Whisper of Gilt EDSF
Beauty l/s
Catch My Eye fluidline
Ordered yesterday but it still says "pending" on MAC's website. I am debating getting the other brush set and the Talk Softly To Me lipglass. I only have ONE MAC brush so that might just push me over the edge to get it...

Both. But, if you only have allocated funds for one of them, then my vote is WoG. Wait a minute, I am NC20 so maybe don't listen to me. No, I stand by that recommendation.

Has anyone noticed or mentioned that this season's Fluidlines seem to be last season's (Glitter & Ice) Paint Pots!
A pink, a taupe, and a greyish black... Same color theme, different product.
Why do I find that interesting with a splash of compulsive thinking?
