MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

[Liz2012]

Same thing here.

Well, I missed the launch of the collection on the Douglas site. I'm really bummed, I was looking forward to it for so long. I stalked all day yesterday, almost didn't sleep at all and feel like poop. Only to find out I stalked in vain, because they had tech issues and didn't put it on the side until today, which I missed. When I saw it like 30 minutes later everything I wanted was already sold out. Apparently the MSFs sold out in 9 minutes.
That would've been the only site where I could've gotten a disocunt, so I always try to buy everything there, I hate paying the full german MAC prices.
I was able to order Simmer from another site though, it should be here tomorrow. And today I also was lucky enough to order Rio and Adored form the MAC site before they were gone, but I won't get excited until they actually get here. They have cancelled too many of my orders to trust them.

I'm sorry to hear this Naynadine

I also really hate it when collections don't launch when they're supposed to launch, stalking can be so exhausting. And even worse if it was for nothing

Keeping my fingers crossed all your goodies will get to you safely and that you can start enjoying them asap

Just placed my order online, i got Adored, Rio, and the 159 brush. Small order but i'm pleased, already planning to start saving for the fall collections 

I'm looking forward to the fall collections! I'm gonna skip so many collections... I probably want some things from Indulge and maybe one or two things from Retro Matte and Pro Longwear and that's pretty much it. :blink:

This may be a weird question, but do you all store your mineral products with the plastic insert inside? I didn't know if I should keep it in there for protection or just pitch it. Well, first I kept it there b/c I didn't know if I was keeping my item. LOL

Actually I keep them because I store my mineral products vertically (meaning the surface of the product is perpendicular to the table top) and I think that the inserts help protect them. Also, it is also useful to have inserts so that you can safely send the item if ever you swap or sell it.

Maybe you can try opening your MSF tilted backwards so that the insert falls back onto the cover and you get direct access to the product? When you close it, it just shuts back nicely in place. That's how I do it.

It annoys me too! But I still keep the inserts because mineralize products are so vulnerable.

I was able to test the rest of the TT colection in store over the weekend and I'm still glade I only ordered the Adored shade in the MSF.

So turns out I don't need to go in store. My boyfriend told me not to go to buy anything from the collection because he bought me stuff.

He claims he picked out stuff based on what he think would look good on me and what I would like. He won't tell me exactly what he got so I'm anxious. Let's see if I can trust his MAC judgement, this should be interesting.

I've ask my boyfriend for a few things as gifts, but I was specific with what I wanted (palettes, sets, light reflecting loose powder). I'd be scared to think what he'd pick for individual colour products. Serenityy, please share with us what he got you! That's so sweet of him, but I'm still quite curious.

I am so envious. Everytime it is my birthday or Christmas or even for our anniversary, he asks me what I would like and I always say a MAC gift card but he says that is so unmeaningful and then I end up getting something I don't want. I think it had been quite a few years now where I just say a meal is enough, though last year for Christmas I asked for socks and got 9 pairs yay.

When mine goes to MAC, he starts arranging their eyeshadows and lipsticks. I think he has done that so many times that once, I picked up an eyeshadow and he said that is Atlantic Blue and I was dumbstruck.

I will definitely share with everyone what I end up getting!

Lawd, he can't send you a pic Serenityy?! Friday is like next year lol

I ask for giftcards too and I never get them because he says the same exact thing!

I asked! He said that would ruin the surprise and he said he knows that I will show up faster to see what it is. Friday IS like next year lol
