Re: Atlanta, GA CCO
I just got home from the one in Discover Mills...big YAWN!!! The only thing I found was a 109 brush for $17.
Next month I want to drive to the one in Dawson. I read somewhere that one's better...

It's located inside Saks.
I think I remember seeing a 224 when I went but not the 187, I don't think there is a rhyme or reason to what they carry and when they carry it, really.
Products are usually 30% off reg. retail price.

Curiositease 5 plushglass set: $20.75
Lipglass in: Moonbathe $10.00

Re: Atlanta, GA CCO
not sure but I was told that they get the stuff that the store is overstocked on....which didn't make sense because I don't know a lot about MAC but I know some of the things I saw were from older collections....like the Curiositease 5 pencil and 5 plusglass sets...I did see 2 fafi quads one was something sweetie cakes I think??? not sure....

Re: Atlanta, GA CCO
That's odd. I got to buy the display 109 brush b/c they didn't have anymore. And the discount on it was more than the 30% because the price sticker on it was wrong...

I would call the MAC Freestanding in Perimeter mall. I saw some old Neo Sci Fi tucked away 2 weeks ago. Same for the counter in Dillards Atlantic Station.

I went to Dawsonville just yesterday and ended up not getting anything I really wanted : ( I was specifically going there to get another shade in foundation, but they're Satinfinish were quite limited in terms of shades. They didn't have much for their concealers too. I did however get my hands on Light Flush MSF, Warmed MSF, Fafi Girl eyeshadow quad, Studio Mist Foundation in Medium Dark, and a couple lipglasses. They do have a wide variety of pigments & eyeshadows, in my opinion. I'm going to try out the one in Saks 5th in Discover Mills soon to see what's there.
Oh - I do recommend Dawsonville to those who want to buy brushes. They had so many!... but not the 182 or 187/188. I think I saw mostly all the rest though.

i wish i'd found this thread yesterday before i drove myself to discover mills. i apologize in advance for not naming many colors, i wasn't prepared to report back to the group.
they had a decent selection of lip sticks, slim shines and lip/plush glass, but none that spoke to me.
there were a few blushes, but they all looked chalky on me when i tested them (i know emote was one). there was skin care, spray foundation, quite a few pigments (they scare me. i have a few but i don't really know how to use them), shade sticks (royal hue, shimmersand, overcast, lucky jade and a couple others. but i own these
). as for brushes, i recall 225, 227 and 3 or 4 others. it would have been great if i was looking for the items they had, but i was looking to fill out my shadow collection. i did pick up a richmetal highlighter in dark influence and mancatcher e/s (i've been on a purple kick lately) so the trip wasn't a total loss.
i think i'll head up to dawsonville after work before the holiday (i REFUSE to be caught up in the Black Friday madness) to see what i can see.
wow, that was long. sorry.

you're welcome. i saw it at the one in dawsonville too. i didn't get a chance to write down everything that was there (LOTS) because i went after work and i got there around 8 and they close at 9. i've worked retail so i try not to be that one customer lolligagging around taking her dear sweet time at closing. anyway...i like the one in dawsonville better because there's more retail space. more retail space = lots of discounted MAC.
they had several shades of studio fix fluid and powder, a few shades of moisture blend, a couple of mineralize skinfinishes (warmed, medium dark, and light) sculpt and shape duos, powder blushes (emote, eversun, coppertone, otherworldly and 10 others whose names escape me), cream blushes, antiquitease holiday sets (cool lip, red lip, warm lip, eye brush set, and another brush set that i can't remember), wipes, pigments (at least 15 colors), shadows (pen n pink, nile, pagan, signed sealed, rite of spring, femme noir, meet the fleet, fafi 1 quad, sweetie cakes quad, and a bunch of others), brushes (174, 191, 225, 236, 211, 217, 222, 225 and a host of others), and lipstick, lip glass, chromeglass, dazzleglass...dang it, they had a lot. it felt kinda like going to a counter. they also had a good selection of bobby brown, estee lauder and clinique cosmetics, a variety of clinique skin care, and perfume gift sets galore, just in time for the holidays.
so there you go. again, i apologize for not getting the names of everything, there was just so much! i really just wanted to stay there and play!

I adore Pink Source! I have five Pink Source eye shadows.
.. it's that great!
I think Pink Source looks great with Vanilla eye shadow. When I first wore that combination, it was pre-Paint Pots, so I used Pearl Cream Color Base. I either recommend finding a similar base, or using Urban Decay Primer Potion. Apply your primer, then Vanilla across the eye lid. Contour with Pink Source (depending on your eye shape, this can be done differently. I apply pink Source in my crease, do what works best for you).
