Hey! happy to see you back

we should go hauling together for this collex and Style Black

So which counter don't take B2M for spacial packaging? I've only ever B2M'd at the FS in Rideau so I don't really know about Ottawa counters.

That eggplant coloured grease paint stick looks HOT! Perfect for fall!

 

[LMD84]

ok so i am skipping this collection entirely! the grease paint sticks colours aren't particularly unique to me - unlike thee one in style black (black with a purple sheen). so yes this collection is a let down to me.

however if you don't already have the 165 brush then i advise getting it because it's great for highlighting and contouring... even blusher!

 

[jazmatazz]

I'll be picking up a feline kohl power pencil and the 165 brush since I never got them the first time around.

Do you guys think the packaging will be shiny or matte?

probably matte like previous designer collections (mcqueen and last year's ungaro)

yes! we should definitely go hauling together!

i'll pm you to make arrangements when the date gets closer

i was talking about the bayshore counter. the mall is on my way home from work. that counter is always kinda weird. last time i brought back 10 mini lipglasses they counted them as 10 empties! and the girl reassured me that's how it's suppose to work.

oh, and did they have an event for makeup art cosmetics collection at the store? i just got back on the 3rd (i've been out of the country since the day after i saw you at the mac store at the HK event!), so kinda out of the loop and catching up right now

yayyyyy, me iz super excited about DSquared, Style Black and F/W Trends!

I tried to B2M with my depots at Bayshore 2 years ago or so and they wouldn't take them. Bayshore is also the closest mall to me but I don't go there when I need to B2M. Maybe now that Garry is transferred there they will take my B2M's, never thought of that! or maybe I go with you coz seems u have magic powers!

I asked at the store about events for makeup art cosmetics a week ago or so. At the time they said they didn't have a pre-launch party as far as they knew, but they would let me know if things changed. I haven't heard anything back yet

sigh... i know. my wishlist is way way way too long. but i promised myself not to buy any lippies for the rest of the year (found 200+ of them when i was cleanning my room) so we'll see how that goes

apparently my magic power only works with minis cuz nobody besides Kathleen from the store would take my depotted empties, so i had to buy a bunch of metal pans and stick them in

did the store manager come back or did they hire a new one? i think Garry was only suppose to work at the store for a year while the manager was on her maternity leave

 

[darkishstar]

I'm only getting the 2 Greasepaint sticks!

You are correct, Viva Glam Lipsticks are 100% non-discountable and not available for Back2MAC because all of the selling price is donated to the MAC Aids Fund.

However, special packaging is a little less specific. Before 2007 (starting with Raquel Weltch and the Barbie collection), no special packaging was available through Back2MAC. After that most things were. Dame Edna however was one of the first collections I heard of that wasn't discountable at all and no products were available for B2M (besides holiday and special sets of course). After that, we were told Hello Kitty Lipsticks were not available for B2M either. Since then though, Style Warrior products have been availalbe through B2M, and I also recieved my employee discount on those items as well. It seems to depend on the collection itself. Since McQueen and Emanuel Ungaro were discountable and B2M'able I imagine this collection will be as well. I hope that's informative! I'm feeling under the weather so my sentance structures might be a little off so forgive me!

Well, I was in the mall last Friday and saw Garry in the food court, lol! I guess he's still there

I'm thinking we'll go to the store for hauling if you have B2M's. Maybe get rid of some old lippies and get news ones from D'Squared

 

[HOTasFCUK]

Kinda OT but the other day i found an empty box in my stash marked "feline" which made me stop and think "Where the hell is my Feline eyeliner!???"

I'm so upset, i didn't even realize i lost it! I'm going to rip my room apart or maybe just buy a new one LOL

well at least if it is lost you don't have to wait too long to be able to get a new one

but fingers crossed you find your other one (saves money and all that jazz!)

 

[vesperholly]

I can't wait for the highlight/contour duos!! Accentuate, you shall be mine!

 

[Lauli]

^^ The duos are what I'm most exited for, too!

It's weird, even though all the colors are permanent, I have no interest in getting them separately.

Something about multiple colors per pot makes this thrifty gal

Yeah, dous and palettes and such are so cute!

And I don't have access to a pro store so I can't buy them separately anyway.
