Yay for another green vote! I was not alone lol! You just reminded me that I need to break out Cola Pop. I grabbed one during all the hype and have not used it. Mildly embarrassed...

Did you ladies order anything from MAC w/the $10 off $50 spent promotion? They even let you select a sample from that awful new web site!!!
I had three pigments on my wishlist so I picked those up and I keep hearing about samples but I didn't see that screen. Sucky website. And why did they send my husband the email and not me? IJS. MAC must know that irritates me.

No I mean they sent him the $10 off email. Why? Don't think I didn't lig into his account and use it. I tried to check the settings in my account...it was too frustrating.:lol: [COLOR=0000FF]They ratted you out Sage! It must somehow be in your profile/stored info---how would they know it otherwise. The site is much too cluttered---sensory overload!!![/COLOR]hboy:

Girl it's a generic code. I think you can use it more than once too. The samples were on the right side of the screen on the same level as your cart items. Maybe you would have had to scroll to the right to see it. I saw one or two other specktrettes say they didn't see them either. I didn't see them at first but found them on the right-hand side.You temptress !!!!Checking it out now----doesn't hurt to just look!!!
We all know you can't just look!

Oh I need to look at something other than baby shower, couple's shower and bridal shower gifts!! That's what I've been ordering lately---so over it. I don't care if IGo Meddy! Sounds gorgeous. I'm trying to ignore Emerald Lust since I have my eyes on CT's Rebel palette! I can't promise, though, that if I see EL in a CCO that I won't grab it haha.

never see another Monique Lhuillier Waterford Opulence 5-Piece Place Setting again!!! Oye----just let me browse some makeup!!!! It's so much easier!!!!!
Yes you can use the code more than once. I think it's effective until June 22. Appears MAC is trying to recoup a revenue short-fall. I was stunned that they also
offered a choice of 3 samples. Of course I picked the mascara---love that stuff for my lower lashes!!! I hate the web site redesign!! It feels too busy & cluttered.

LOL! It's okay. You're allowed. We all have our vices. My makeup ain't hurt'in nobody! lol
I think they're trying to recoup shortfall too. I have NEVER seen MAC offer a discount. I think they've done $10 off codes before to attendees at tradeshows but never anything this high or for such a long period. It's like getting 20% off! I have about 4 of those mini mascaras and have never used them on myself lol. I hardly coat my bottom lashes though... The mascara always transfers to my under-eye area for some reason

Someone ' in the know' says, "last time mac did that was after the crash of 2008 lol" I think MAC relied on a sales & marketing strategy that tired loyal customers and several left the fold. I mean who wants to stand in line amongst hundreds of desperate makeup addicts all vying to get an inventory of 10 items.
I prefer to go where I can spend my money pleasantly and w/ease---oh & quality products too!!! Try applying mascara to your lower lashes, last and pull the wand upward and out when you apply it.

I can imagine. I know people like the hype of LE collections and running to the store and tracking them down but it's only fun and games if you have a realistic chance of MAC sending out enough stock. They've created a false hype that has turned off even the like of me who's a sucker for pretty packaging. It got so bad that people were buying not because they wanted an item, but to boast that they got it plus 5 backups. That then gave way to the ebay sharks who bought up everything to sell at ridiculous prices to person who missed out.... it's ridiculous!
I will try that mascara trick!

Please let me know you like it, Sage! I have run out of room for makeup storage with my current setup but I'm going to switch some things up this weekend to get more space.

I still haven't worn that D&G raspberry blush that I purchased from Sephora during Chic Week. Maybe I'll wear it next week, that way I could wear a new and pink-ish item.

I'm with you Medgal! I preorder my Mac items because I'm not stalking the Mac website. The one and only time that I stalked was for the Mac-RiRi fall collection and I was unsuccessful. If it is a Mac only collection, I might pick up an item later in the launch day though. I know many people like the rush that comes with stalking items and the camaraderie that this site has during stalking parties. I'm too old and My iron is too low for that. I need my sleep. Lol.

Lol! I love my sleep
This made me laugh when I read it last night and I have been giggling about it since I woke up. I feel this way about most things requiring a ridiculous amount of energy.
