Wow!! You ladies rock!! I just joined and I'm loving the info.

Awhile back, we deemed him ^ as a breaking wind "puff of air"

I think it was when MAC named something Lavender Wind or something like that. We couldn't stop giggling like a bunch of little girls.

Well there goes my "Happy Cloud." That's what I called him...now it has a totally different connotation

Did anyone see the hearts start to wear off on the brushes yet? I just want to know if I should maybe put some clear nail polish on them before I wash them and use them

I haven't even unboxed mine yet, but when I saw your post that's the first thing I thought about doing too---polyurethane may be too harsh

The brush tree is awesome, and a genius idea. I've never had issues with laying my brushes flat but the brush tree may certainly extend their quality & life span by helping to keep water out of the ferrules.

Wow!! Thanks for the tip. I was looking for something to store my brushes. I'm a rookie and made the mistake of washing my brushes in alcohol and they were so stiff!!

I haaate when that happens! I used my Back to Mac to get Plumful ONLY TO FIND it was a TOTAL dupe for Glamourdaze. -_- (at least for me. I hear a lot of people on T complain that Plumful pulls much darker than them than the beautiful pink that shows on her lips.) Wasted.  And I hope that Night Blooming isn't a complete dupe because I have that on hold at Nordies. 

Night blooming in my opinion is super super close I feel like identical almost At least swatches I have yet to tried it on my lips But I feel like I have to many lipsticks like tht color I justified having outrageously fun and night blooming cuz there was a difference But having all? DLG, NB, &OF is too many lol On top of that I bought maybelline hot plum, which is darker but still to similar lol

I've been so out of the MAC loop that I didn't even realize this collection was online till it was too late. If anyone is looking for Betty Bright l/s, the MAC counter inside of Hilltop Mall (Bay Area) has them. I called a few minutes ago to reserve one.

I'm wearing it today too with Cream Soda and Betty Bright----LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Just before the Archie event last night I purchased a new exfoliator, allegedly made with minerals from the Dead Sea. WELL-----I used it and let me just say-----forget Betty Bright----meet Medgal Bright. I am glowing. That, plus a huge shout-out to MAC-Guy who recommended Studio Sculpt foundation topped with Sheer Mystery powder! MAC-Guy it looks even prettier with my glowing skin underneath. Man you're a genius! I also wore it to the event last night and my friend kept saying, 'Your skin looks so pretty." After the forth time I said, ok if you say that one more time, we're making out! Just kidding of course, but bar none it is the absolute best foundation/powder combo I've ever owned. I related an issue, a need and a desire. You understood me and then took the time to make that recommendation. Thank you so much!

Mac guy or anyone, do you know a good alternative to Sheer Mytsery powder.

Thank you so much! I'm loving everything

waiting on your thoughts on the pealrmattes for WOC... ~taps foot~

i know this isn't the right thread for this but i'm just so excited, i got my first muji case today as well!!

 

[CartoonChic]

Just logging on here to say that my brush kit and lipstick BUs that I got from the mini restock yesterday shipped earlier today. I only got standard free shipping and my package will be here Friday.

I'm going to the counter bright and early tomorrow for CPs. This should be fun. It's going to be @sses and elbows for sure.

I ordered another Mall Madness. It works so well with Up The Amp.

Don't say that, I was ready to rule that one out lol

I really wish I knew which products Betty and Veronica are wearing in the promo shots. Did MAC ever release face charts on the looks?

there are face charts on the site i bookmarked it http://www.maccosmetics.com/images/looks/print/archielooks.pdf

I was really excited about everything from this collection, but then my grandad was run over by a car yesterday evening. He's a vicar and was going home from a day spent visting all of his more elderly parishioners. I feel sick. He's been sent home from hospital, but has a ton of bruises, grazes and now stitches! The woman who did it just phoned up my grandma, said who she was, then hung up. Sorry to rant, but I'm so mad!

Sorry to hear about your grandad. Reminds me of Hurricane Sandy my dads car got jacked up and I helped him out instead of buying the holiday glamour daze stuff. Hope all turns out blessed.

omg I love the brush tree.. I washed my brushes at 3pm today and right now they're all dry even my 134! It is a miracle!

 

[Genn]

I want one of those brush trees! I just dont know where i could put it.

 

[kirsten]

I keep calling all my local stores to see if they will hold some lipsticks I missed out on and none will. I am scared to see how the crowds will be tomorrow. I just want a Betty Bright, Daddy's Little Girl (even though I keep trying to tell myself I don't since I have a lot of purples and pinks that seem similar) and a back up of Ronnie Red!

 

[Baby1black]

O.k. Not a fan of BB. Who said it needs exfoliation.oh boy it needs a lot of that. Satins do not give me this problem but this one does. Not so sure that I needed a BU of it which I ordered from nordies,but at least nordies has free shipping returns. Will try it again tomorrow after I prep my lips today. Even the first candy yum yum did not give me that
