    MAC Pro Store in NYC - Pro ID Required???

    Hey all, so I was talking to my friend who is an MA at the mac counter I go to here in UT, and she recently made a trip to NYC during which she stopped at the PRO store. But she said they made her show her MAC id in front of the camera before they'd let her up. This strikes me as really weird...

    Chain Emails that make you LOL

    So, I am sure some of you long ago received a chain email that said something to the effect that this makeup brand E.L.F. that was apparently sold at Bloomingdales was offering their products for $1 each. Well obviously it was a hoax b/c Bloomingdales and ELF never ever partnered- in fact, I...

    So I am interested in Siss, but I noticed in all the FOTDs in which it looked incredibly hot, it was on WoC. I couldn't find any pasty NC15 like me, and so I'm just curious, would this color look okay on me? TIA!

    What is happening to my eyeshadows?!

    Ok so I have a few eyeshadows that have developed some sort of bumpy texture on them...I figured it was because I'd touched them with oily fingers- this was before I was really knowledgeable about makeup- so I now just use a brush, but even brushes have made them a little bumpy. I have taken...

    B2M-ing Depots Rant

    So I had no idea why MAC wouldn't allow depots til I talked to the manager of a MAC store over the phone today and she said the reason is, since the Pro Pans can also be B2M'd, people could bring both in for B2M, thereby cheating the system. I now understand the logic (I thought it was so as to...
