[COLOR=0000FF]  The last MAC item that I purchased was Styled in Sepia lipstick.  I wish I hadn't read this! I looked them up :crybaby: They're so pretty----brought tears to my eyes--sniff, sniff.[/COLOR]
Pending swatches, I think they're a must. :lol: I love that designer's stuff, too. I mean I'm not skinny enough or rich enough to wear it, but I love his designs.
I'm trying to avoid it too, I gave away and sold a lot of stuff over the last few months and it was mainly MAC items that got the boot. I'm being a lot more thoughtful about buying from them lately, especially those LE collections that are just such a time and energy suck it isn't even worth it. I'll still keep to buying staple items and the random LE item when I know it's something I'll use regularly, but other than that, no more of those old impulse buys I used to do. You're also right about the pricing, that JP blush is $24 and I'm debating it now because while I like MAC blushes, I could get a Tarte, NARS or Chanel blush for only a few dollars more.
I was looking at the highlighter from one of the upcoming collections, phillip something, I think and it's like $32. No way! The highlighters by thebalm are so awesome and less expensive. Mac will always get my money for the prep+prime lip and the makeup wipes. Also, lip pencils like Cork and Cherry. If I ever run out of a lipstick in my life I'd buy another like Taupe. That's it, the staples and the really, truly special LE stuff. It's been so long since I've stalked for something it's gonna be so weird when I have to do it again.

Yeah, those can go jump off a bridge with their overspray and stuff. Not even going there, especially with the quality of product places like the Balm have (love their highlighters) or the fact that I can have Becca for a few dollars more. They have some good solid items in their perm lineup I will go back for,but I just can't with the LE anymore unless it gives me the vapors. If you do stalk for Valli, they have been a lot of times launching more towards the morning,so you should at least not have to do the overnight BS.

MAC does have many amazing staples that I repurchase time & again!!! I thought Prep & Prime lip was the end
all and be all until I tried Chanel Rouge Coco Baume---twice the price of MAC P & P but lasts longer & works
better IMHO.

I initially felt bad when I stopped buying MAC because a manager at a local store used to put things aside for
me, and I would buy from her solely. But she gets it and we're still friends....I just don't buy MAC the way I used
to.

I haven't been on here for awhile since I haven't been purchasing new makeup (my computer took all my extra monies) UNTIL TODAY.

I just bought Nars Audacious Lipstick in Rita, Hourglass eyeshadow palette in Monochrome, and KVD lipstick in homegirl.

I think we've been talking about Rebel & Sole for quite a while right? Hopefully I'll have them by mid week, next week. After all, it is Nordies
girlhaha.gif

Rebel was on my radar but you put Sole on it, and I'm so glad you did!!!!

friends.gif
We have been. Since Rebel is perm, I'm saving that for my birthday "Treat Yo'self" haul lol! I'll be getting Sole in the next Sephora sale or whoever has a sale before then. I need it in my grubby little hands

Oh I love that theme, "TREAT YO SELF"

That's the best ever!!! I tried to wait for Sephora but I got sucked in by Nordie's triple points and 5% cash back w/Mr Rebates. Oh and I just like getting packages!

Ok...I admit to having more highlighters than I'll ever need in a lifetime so I have several to compare. I swear Becca has done an exceptional job with their pressed
highlighters. They easily rival some of my pricey highlighters and that's the absolute truth!!!
