I was hoping you would see that :kiss:

I did! It took me awhile. I was doing a wedding this evening at a chocolate factory. Such an awesome concept!

Yep. That's what i said since the day we got the picture of the collection.

I might as well get Golden bronzer since I have Refined Golden already... It sucks that Sun Dipped is not being repromoted with this collection.

Agreed, obvi bronzers!

Thanks for letting us know which ones! I have Golden and don't use it much.. I'll have to pull it out and play with it until this launch to see if I can even justify getting another.. The compact is gorgeous but I can't have it just sit there.

I'll have to check those shades out at MAC the next time I'm there to see if either of them would suit me. I have Matte Bronze and Sun Dipped right now and like both (although I think I prefer Matte Bronze).

Just because over all most places have tightened their policies even the almighty nordstrom. Consumers may feel entitled to returns but it's a huge loss in the cosmetics industry. These big companies are all about more money. Not to mention a lot of other first world countries have tighter cosmetic laws then the U.S. So I wouldn't be surprised if things just start to change yah know?

What has nordstrom changed?

What has nordstrom changed? 

They used to have the best return policy. You didn't even need a receipt but people would return things they didn't even buy from there. Nordstrom would still take it back. Now they mostly require receipt or card lookup, account. Some kind of proof of purchase. They stuff have a great return policy but I was using them as an example, with time return policies change.

I usually just go to CVS or Meijer (much closer to me than Ulta), and I'm not sure if they'd do that.

I see, but if they were so kind to do it you could at least be sure to get a BNIB item.

 

[Prettypackages]

I had sooo many ppl quoted on the return policy issue. I agree with a lot of you, and I agree that you should have a right to return. Stuff doesn't work and for a variety of reasons you don't have a chance to go see it. I wouldn't take a 45 min-2hr train/car ride to "try something first", either. Even if you do get a chance to check it out in the store, in places like Ulta and Sephora, the testers are disgusting. I don't want to touch them.
It would be nice to buy samples online, especially a sample that will last a week, that's enough for me to see if something will work, break me out, oxidize, and etc...

I rarely buy drugstore items, b/c like you all of said, the actual products have been used, and I don't feel comfortable buying and not knowing. THe NYX section at my ULTA is RANSACKED, and disgusting, ugh!
I didn't realize that ppl would return stuff to Sephora and say it was not used. *shudders* You all will have me ordering everything online now.


I asked about Nordies, b/c I didn't realize their policies changed. Guess it didn't affect me.

I really want to know the name of those bronzers. I have never tried a MAC bronzer. What kind of undertone do they tend to have anyone know???

they have been released before, tons of swatches all over the internet. Refined Golden and Golden bronzers are their names as perviously stated darling. They usually keep the names the same and dont give them a name to match the collection.

 

[Sarah Marie]

ok thanks!!! im gonna go google like a mad women

The darkness of RG is not the real issue, but the level of yellowness is for pale NW complexions.

 

[Sarah Marie]

and how...to quote the little rascals

I must say, I can go a bit over the edge sometimes

but whatever

Over the edge is cool---as long as you climb back up and over again----and have fun in the process!

I went over it at least twice today.
