Hi makeupites ;).. So, today I purchased my first NARS product! I bought "persia' eyeshadow and NARS light reflecting setting powder (loose).. I saw all the rave about it and decided to buy it. I went to Sephora's this morning and tried it on, I really love it!! For my first purchase, I am absolutely thrilled

You should post what you think of it in the Nars Reflecting Powder thread too.

I bought Persia & love it too.

What are your thoughts on Persia? I'm eyeing that one. It looks like a shade I'd like.
It would be lovely on you! I posted pics & swatches in I think the Nars Spring thread. Its a beautiful wearable highly pigmented shade, but also looks very pretty as a light wash.

I had an appointment for the MAC event after a 13 hour work shift and they were over 30 minutes late. I ended up having to leave before anything even started! Should I contact MAC about this. I am very disappointed.

My Ronnie Red and Kiss & Don't Tell came today!

Everyone who said RR is gorgeous is absolutely right. I'm just getting over a cold and, even on my chapped lips, it felt smooth and moisturizing and didn't enhance any dry skin. When I removed it, it left a beautiful stain. I'm trying really hard not to buy a backup. Can't wait to wear this baby out!

Kiss & Don't Tell will be so amazing for spring! It's exactly what I was hoping it would be. When I saw it in the store before the collection launched, I swatched it over Betty Bright, so I didn't realize how pigmented it was, but it's really beautiful to wear on it's own. Goes great with my pale complexion.

I'm getting even more excited for the rest of my stuff to get here. Monday can't come fast enough!

I'm on my break at work now and taking a second look at them. It's the 168, 167, and 226 that have some some bristles splayed. The 226 isn't as bad as the other two. I'm wondering if maybe it was a return? (I ordered after the restock) I should say it's not like the brushes are massacred or anything...I'm just normally very careful with my brushes and have never purchased a new one from MAC (included SE sets) and had them arrive this way. @honeymilk: They are really soft and nice, so that isn't an issue. I think I am going to give them a nice wash tonight and see if I can reshape them back a bit. On the positive side: They are totally stinking cute! :love:
I just got my brushes in and the same ones have some stray bristles but I figured that's due to them being machine cut versus hand cut. Not a big deal to me since they are still soft and oh so cute! Oh and does anyone else have a kitty who is a brush fiend?! My goodness did she go crazy sniffing out the tin and then once I showed her the face brushes, she was on them like a magnet! Must be the goat fur?

Just received by brush set...and while they are cute I'm a little disappointed. While they are super cute, the bristles are already falling out and splayed. They are all in the little plastic sleeves, but it didn't seem to help. Did I get a dud? They probably won't get returned, but it's a little disappointing to have brand new brushes already all roughed up. Poo... :storm:
Oh nooo sorry to hear that I LOVE my brush set. I wasn't expecting them to be such good quality but I've already washed and dried two an their grt

MAC never sells returned merchandise, even if you purchase a brush and leave the store and come back on 30 seconds it gets destroyed (sent back to the company) or used for brush belts for employees. Same with cosmetics and skincare.
Oh, yeah! What was I thinking? I knew that! D'uh!

Please talk me in or out of Girl Next Door! I have pigmented lips and struggle to find my first baby pink lipstick. I'm about NC40 for reference. Thanks in advance! Ps Please keep the haul pics, swatches, and lovely FOTDs coming!

I tried to take some pictures but the light is so crappy in my apartment you can't see that well.

I agree with you! They are still super cute!

I've decided that I'm over it! I'm just going to ignore it and play with my cute little heart brushes!

This is earlier in the day wearing Betty Bright lipstick and cream soda blush......I'm so glad I got this blush as I never had it on my list and its just a pretty color.

Here I'm wearing Daddy's Little Girl with prom princess blush... This blush is def pigmented so you def have to put it on with a light hand or it'll be too much.

MAC shows Coming Soon for Ronnie Red. Is it worth stalking for this re-stock? Do they go fast?
I think RR is one of the lipsticks that has been selling out the quickest. It's a beautiful color, so that's not surprising. If you really want it, I'd definitely stalk the MAC site.
