MAC X Cinderella Collection (March 5, 2015)

Yes , the BP put me over $50 for free shipping I still haven't heard anything about it :???:

Oh OK. Macy's needs to have free shipping period like Nordstrom. Then again if they can't handle their orders with a $99 minimum I can just imagine. Have you called them about the bp?

I don't consider discussing anything related to a serious health issue to be whining. It's horrible to suffer through the symptoms you have. The symptoms can sound so generic but until a person experiences it firsthand, the best thing your support system can offer is patience and understanding. It is so frustrating to suffer in a body that is physically weakened when your mind is with it. I found it really devastating. When I had anemia it ended up being a precursor symptom of a much more serious health issue totally separate from anemia. I remember being boosted by certain infusions but as you know they do only last a day or two before your system falls back to the level you're experiencing. I am not surprised about the six month forecast for bone marrow to reach a healthy level of iron. It is probably a general bench mark but you can always hope you will start to feel perkier before then. I wouldn't stress yourself out about that though. Your body will do what it can and that's what you've got to work with.   However, while your body is sorting itself out, the power of bright or sparkly lipsticks and a nice blush go a long way when you can't paint your nails and you're complexion is a bit wan. You will get through this... and with warmer weather around the corner, can probably enjoy sitting outside soon too.  Feel free to PM me if you ever want to vent :frenz:   ETA: Uh, I see you live in Florida, so warmer weather is hopefully already occurring. I'm still in winter cabin fever mode. 

Thank you so much!!! It's sooooo nice to speak with someone who understands! And I'll take you up on that PM offer bc it does help to share. I really hope you're doing better? The PM goes both ways; feel free to message me to vent anytime! And you're so right about the makeup. Just getting to play with my new Burgundy x9 palette today was so much fun! Takes me forever to get ready now though. I used to be able to get ready in about an hour from shower to walking out the door, and that's with drying my very long hair, but now makeup by itself takes at least 30 minutes bc my hands are unsteady. I'm waiting for the last piece of my Cinderella collection (FAAB) to get here, then I think I'm going to sit and play! Just test out different looks with all the pieces I was able to get which were the eye palette, the lipsticks, lipglosses, Little Black Bow and Coupe D'Chic. I hope they do another restock as I've been going back and forth about the eye glosses, pigments and Mystery Princess. However, I don't really think I'd use the eye glosses or pigments very often, and without health insurance I'm having to pay for my treatments, so I probably shouldn't even consider them. However, I could use those blue brushes quite often! ️ By the way, it was almost 80 here today. But not all that pleasant to be honest. Most people believe Florida is sunny, but honestly, that's not true during the spring and summer. From May on though September/October it rains here for at least a couple of hours every afternoon. ️ And beginning in April, the thunderstorms start. So it's hot, but the day is typically interrupted by a downpour, and the humidity is not fun. Sometimes I feel like my majeup is just sliding off my face.....

Wow, that burgundy palette has some great colours! Nice work! 

loveeee

Thanks ladies!!!

The people on EvilBay bidding on blue are going to FREAK OUT!!!!

When I contacted the seller (out of sheer curiosity) she admitted she hadn't received hers yet. You can bet she's going to have to do some fast talking if hers are black too. I almost feel sorry for her. She can't just ship them like that; she will either have to cancel the auction before it ends (if she's lucky) or if she's unlucky she will have to refund and probably get some very negative feedback. EDIT: Whoops! Just saw someone said she took them down. Sorry; catching up! Well, she knew she had to take them down fast or risk getting some terribly ticked off feedback.

 

[Dezrai]

Yes I did want to kill them (in a non killing, loving kinda way) lol It was not the first time they had got into it, but it was defiantly the last! They love makeup!! Every once in a while they will have me do a "Next top Model" photo shoot, where I put tons of makeup on them and take they're pictures ( BTW I DO NOT DO IT OFTEN)... I Obviously know that the makeup is not good for they're skin, and i have explained that in detail to them... But EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I will cave and do them up ... I think that is why they have the urge to constantly get into it lol Halloween is a ton of fun around our house! Lol

You sound like an awesome Mom to me!!

I already exfoliate and moisturize, and I've tried primer from another brand...been meaning to try MAC's lip primer though. Never had so much trouble with a lipstick before!

Yes, everyone should own Mac's prep & prime for lips!

Macys = issues - across the board. I have read so many ordering nightmare stories about them. I just could never feel secure ordering from them, especially LE items.

If there were blue handle brushes, Mac would have had them. Macys is

 

[jenise]

I know it's been posted already but this  is not  Highly disappointed in MAC/Macy's today!

I really can't believe this. The fact they charged extra too

 

[Prettypackages]

Oh so bogus macy's... I bet in 6 months the brushes are found at a CCO.

It does nothing for me. Am I the only one?!

I agree. I use it especially if I am wearing a retro matte.

Just saw the movie tonight. Super cute! Made me regret skipping this collection, lol. The costumes are amazing, and the whole thing is heightened and slightly, delightfully campy.

 

[YarahFlower]

The brushes are black! And they charged the $38.50. Returning at the store tomorrow. You ladies didn't miss out on anything except the hassle of returning them.

you gotta be kidding me! WTF is going on at MACYS AND MAC??? One F--- up after another? WHO is is charge?! They need a swift kick in the A--

That is decidedly NOT lame! If I'd had a tube of Royal Ball, you can bet I'd have slicked it on.
And yes... definitely looked like eye gloss to me.

im following your lead elegant and not ordering from macy again I don't feel secure at all about ordering anything from them and anything le is a big no no

 

[carolwhites]

Macys has restocked the Stroke of Midnight Eye Shadow for whomever is looking to snag one at retail price.

Good Luck!

EDIT: It is gone now (sold out in 5 min)
