It just kinda showed me that he knows I'm having a rough time and he does care and doesn't think my love of makeup is "stupid". It's just not a good time for us to spend. Needless to say, that gesture was so important to me that I will stick to the "no buy phase" until things are better. I will not cheat!!! What a weird settlement for a lawsuit though?

Aw, Mr Rbella=

That would be... awkward. And crowded.

MAC should rename these to BSFs: Buttersoft Skinfinish

I have the Redhead and Blonde MSFs and the texture is incredible - smooth and easy to blend. Soft too. Maybe even too soft? I did a light tap with my 187 brush and the powder dissolved and went all over the compact. The same thing tends to happen with my NARS blushes..

great job, MAC!

Hmm, I wonder if this was a nation-wide or state-wide thing....cause I was in the mall in Dallas today and I noticed a big long line outside of Neiman's and inside Macy's but I was in too big of a hurry to check it out. I guess I missed out!!

That is a really weird settlement for a lawsuit!

After staring at the display my husband said: "Could it be Mineralize Satin Finish?" She said "Ooohhhh, Ok, yeah."

Aww, how awesome is that??

I am so happy for you!!

Sorry, I keep my fingers crossed that BBR arrives as soon as in the rest of Europe.
How hard can it be to release it all at the same time in Europe?

No 226? No Redhead MSF?
Do you already know when you will get it in Singapore?
The 214 might be really worth it from what people here are saying. But the 226 might really be what I am looking for.

Ah, thanks, i've thought about that. With the exchange rate, if i buy in the US, it will be like saving 25% (shipping fees included). That's unbelievable! But i guess, i'll just wait...

Thanks, i hope! I don't know why, and i don't even want to know why, because nothing could ever justify this delay!

Ohhh Rbella, I'm so happy for you!

So I decided to call MAC so they would know to send this girl her order & of course like MAC always does when there is a mistake, they told me to keep the Blonde...too bad it wasn't Brunette, cause that is the one I don't have yet, lol. I hope they overnight the MSF to the girl so she gets it quick!

oooh lucky girl!!
I once got a free pearlglide liner

I don't know when I will get BBR here. I don't want to ask the MAC counter because sometimes they give me a date, and then when I go there, only the displayer is up but the stocks have not come in yet so they can't sell anything. I just wait and be surprised. Usually I will get it around the same time as Germany, give or take one or two weeks.

My list will change when I see the products. I have a few bronzers so I think maybe I can pass Redhead MSF. 226 is really nice. I'm considering it.

 

[jenntoz]

^^^Don't forget that the 214 will become permanent & the 226 is LE, you might want to grab the 226 while its available & wait on the 214
