Anyone know where I can find HC? (Newbie here)
It seems to be sold out online everywhere it was being carried. You might want to call a few local MAC stores/counters in your area. I looked at several online department stores and NONE of them had HC. They had some of the other lippies in AC but HC was no where to be found. Good luck!

I finally got hot chocolate to work on me!!! I gently dotted it on my lips and rubbed together. I finished with NYX sand pink lip liner and I really like it. It's more work then I wanted but that's ok!

I placed an order on Apres Chic l/s on Nordstrom since it's a backorder that they will ship it on the 21st which I don't mind since I found out that my pre-order was sold to someone else since I have texted the MUA in Vegas about that I'm ready to pay for my pre-order and never heard back. In case that my order of Apres Chic l/s is cancelled, does anyone have an extra Apres Chic l/s that I can CP from? Thanks!

I'm not loving it on me either. I've tried it with several liners (Absolutely It, Morning Coffee and Burgandy) but I'm not warming up to it. I might swap it away; I'm trying to avoid keeping makeup that I know I'll never reach for. I was hoping for another Glamourdaze and this just isn't it.

If anyone can't find HC and wants one that's been swatched 2-3x, please PM me. I'm going to cull a few items I never wear (NARS Dolce Vita, Star Wonder, etc) and stick them on the swap board.

I agree...I LOVE LOVE LOVE this shade on! One of my absolute faves. I grabbed 2 Backups & the cutest little Kate Spade wristlet on sale that matches the color

Sorry that HC didn't work out for you.

Thank you, ladies! I knew I wanted HA (such a pretty color), but I was worried HC would look awful on me (I just crossed my fingers as I checked out

), and I almost skipped AC because I rarely wear reds. I'm glad they're all very wearable though. Thanks to all the enablers here and everyone who posted links and photos!


I LOVE your new pic dear!!!! You look so pretty!

I agree, all the ls looks lovely on her.

I don't think I'm a sale/swap person. I lack the motivation and patience. When I'm clearing through my stuff, I just want it gone.

Hot Chocolate - Just given to my 18 year-old daughter's friend who's over and 'has never had anything MAC before!" WAY more fun than selling/swaping and I didn't need to mail it anywhere. :)

Star Wonder & Flight of Fancy - Given to very thrilled 11 year-old daughter with understanding that she can only wear Star Wonder (which only appears as a subtle glow on her) for very special occasions. Given that it's a dry product and that I'll store it for her appropriately, hopefully it will last until she's a bit older. I've kept powder blush for years without a problem.

L'Oreal Infallibles - Gave most to my eldest daughter and just kept the three I like best for myself. I love this formula but almost neverwear them while my daughter wears hers daily. The three I kept are great one and done summer shades that I know I'll reach for when temperatures soar.

I need to have really covered any redness in my cheeks to wear Dolce Vita. I'll give it another couple of tries before getting rid of it. I find Plum Foolery a lot easier to wear and I don't reach for this kind of shade often enough to warrant owning both. (I'd rather save the space for yet another coral shade that I'm sure I'll fall in love with this spring/summer).

I really don't like wasting products after I've bought them. I know I'll never hit pan on most of my blush and e/s, and I'm fine with that if they're colours I enjoy reaching for. I don't want to keep a colour that I won't do more than force myself to wear very occasionally so I can convince myself it wasn't a complete waste.
