Verve-Acious is the darkest one, I think.

I ended up returning Sassed Up because it gave me no color payoff. The MA kept saying she didn't believe me when I said it didn't show up, as if I would lie about such a thing. She even invited me to sit down and let her apply it so that it would show up. Um, I'm pretty sure I know how to swipe a brush across my face.

I think so. They used to mark the bottom of my B2M lipsticks, but this time, took away all the Fafi packaging. I asked if I could keep it and the MA asked the manger and she said, "no!"

I rarely go to The Bay for anything. I only B2M there if the store is sold out of what I want.

we take the boxes of all b2m lipsticks at macys cause we have to run it thru the registers and staple the receipt to it for inventory purposes. plus we mark the bottom of the tube cause people take advantage of the program and try to return them for other products or store credit.

lol. Sometimes the MA's get a bit gung-ho with products they like... I'd much prefer excited and involved than uninterested. But I know what you mean, esp. since the IPP's barely show up as a swatch! The MA doing my makeover had to cake Sassed Up on me to get it to show... it looked like I had some kind of muted foil on my cheeks! (does that make any sense? =P) And my pores looked like craters...

I use brush 129 to apply my IPP Sassed Up as a blush. It makes a nice contour IMO. I am NW 20 and I am really conviced of the result.

I returned perky pp last night and the MA was getting on my nerves. I understand that its supposed to be used as a base. I was told I could use it as a regular eyeshadow too. It didn't show up. It was dry on me. it creased on me. So what if I used my finger nd not a brush. If i don't want the paint pot don't stand there for 10 minutes and try to argue with me. I was exchanging for it anyways, its not like I wanted my money back and I was never going to come back to MAC again

The hoodie is like nylon and cotton, I think. On the outside, there's a print of pink fafinettes and black strips down both sides. It is also reversible and turns into a baby pink with a rainbow "adicolor" on one side. The bottoms are capri style, kinda funky (I don't know about the pants yet) because they're baggy at the top and then at the bottom, there's the stretch thing that goes around your calve...Kinda weird, but the pants are black with pink stripes. I saw a picture online with Fergie wearing it. Anyway, until then the link to my myspace is myspace.com/wiltingorchid.
I'll PM you once I have MY pics!

Okay ladies...I promised pics, sorry it took so long.

These pics suck, it's kinda hard on a pink bed, but here's what I have FAFI.

The bag is FAFI for LeSportsac.
The suit is Adidas Adicolor. It is reversible.(The pants are funky)
The makeup is MAC. My dolls aren't pictured, or the lipglass.

So here we go! I love my suit!

Sorry for the size...it's not THAT huge! I don't know how to make them smaller.

Those of you who got Fafi eyes #2, what do you think of it? I looked at it today in the shop and I can't decide if I want it or not.

Hi! I would know if some item of fafi collection are definitive. I think strawbaby and gloss are permanent its right?

No way! Is it really true Strawbaby may become permanent? If so, I feel like a fool because I just bought four tubes on Macys.com, thinking it was my last chance, since my store sold out of them and the MAC and Nordstrom sites are out too. Never in my life have I bought a back-up color product, but Strawbaby is so special. I've never loved a lipstick more than this one.

I had high expectation on Fafi, before I saw the collection in the store I'd ordered all the dolls, small makeup bag, cash flow p/p, a l/s, and a blush online. I happened to like all the things i got and wanted to get more things at the store near me. When i saw the e/s quad i was like, is this a joke or what, the sticker on the package is just terrible, for $36 I've never seen any e/s package worse than that... I wanted to get the iridescent powder, another joke! the print on the package is really low quality. I wanted to get something for the package since I like Fafi's art so much and i love MAC, but I ended up getting nothing in the store.

After all i like the dolls, the blushes, and i can take the shrink wrap on the l/s... still i almost feel like MAC doesn't respect their costomers and feel offended by MAC

*PHEW*! I got back-ups for Strawbaby too! XD I LOVE this lipstick shade... and Flash n Dash too. BUT one thing about the lipstick packaging... It would be SO much nicer if they printed the display on the lipstick itself (like Barbie loves MAC) rather than printed on plastic then wrapped around the lipstick..

I'm not too sure. I want to use Live Chat but its 1.30am here (Australia) and I'm not sure what time they will let me access (says EST 10am) Live Chat.

Strawbaby doesn't have the limited edition triangle next to the name so it might go permanent without the Fafi packaging in the future?
