But in my first order, I did a pretty good haul:

Studio Fix NW45
Blush - Blunt
Fix+
l/s - Seriously Rich

Pretty darn good eh?

And why all the free shipping? i have not paid for shipping once from them. It's like they're giving it away!

The economy sucks. High end retailers usually don't feel the economic downturns much because the rich always find a way to stay rich and keep spending. However, this time is different--mainly because of the gas prices and some extreme craziness in the housing sectors and wall street. Retailers have got to stay competitive to keep 'em coming in.

It's about darn time MAC got with the discount program, too! I buy a lot of luxury brands and they've been doing free shipping, gifts with purchase, and percentage off like crazy. I won't even buy online without free shipping and some type of freebie (except for QVC, but I have to really want that Philosophy or Bare Escentuals to use them).

 

[cocodivatime]

I placed three different online orders and this morning I still woke up thinking about stuff that I "forgot"

This is a sickness.

 

[makeba]

Hell yeah shame on you!!! LOL

I can't believe you didn't take advantage girl! It actually ended up saving me 17 bucks before tax.

Like somebody said, the economy is crap right now, so this will probably not be the last of the 15% at MAC. It's a vvvvery competitive company.

erine mentioned that they are having some trouble with the current packaging for paint pots (lids too tight), so they are selling out existing stock in order to start fresh with properly functioning containers.

I love the paint pots. I have about 2 or 3 paints left that I have not touched.

I definitely did major MAC (Too Faced, MUFE as well) hauling prior to the F&F sale.

From the Sale I got:
Sweet Tooth T/T
X-Rocks Blush
Indianwood P/P
Rubenesque P/P (You are so lovely!)
Gulf Stream E/S
Waveline F/L
Spaced Out Blush

Since I could not get to my MAC store because of distance and time: Went to a counter instead (no coupon

)
Fresco Rose P/P (how I lived w.o this, I do not even know)
Neutral Pink E/S
Reflects Blackened Red
Black Ore (sample)
Lovely Lily (sample)

(I definitely got more stuff than this, but before MAC gave us the coupon)

 

[Face2Mac]

I stocked up on brushes. I got the #222 and #272 online with Solar White. I went to the store and Picked Up

Gentle Lentil s/s
Bamboo pan e/s
Gulf Stream e/s
Graphology e/s
Climate Blue e/s
Fix +
#224 Brush
Romp pan e/s
Mulch e/s
Shimmermoss e/s
My subtotal was about $160 and I end up paying like $115. I was so happy.

Does anyone have so much Mac that the 15% discount didn't matter much because except for maybe buying stuff that you won't wear, I was in that position, except for the brushes I have all the eyes that I would wear, I bought the blues because (me see pretty, want bad) was going off in my head.

 

[AudreyNicole]

I was a good girl, and did not haul any more than my Cool Heat haul on the first day of the F&F discount. I was SO tempted to go the mall yesterday but I resisted. I read on another community someone said that her MA told her the F&F coupon was extended in stores til the 21st. Anyone else heard this? I kind of doubt it, but if it's true, I'm on my way to the mall!

 

[Kitt3n]

This discount may be because of the stimulus checks being given out. I have noticed that many retailers are offering sales and discounts just to get people to use their new found money at their store.

On a different note, I used to visit the MAC counter at least once a week until 3 months ago when I got a second job (a job I have been trying to get for some time now).

Now that I am working 70 hours a week I don't have time to visit them as often. So, I felt that I was due for some goodies for all my hard work.

Here is what I bought:

Platinum Pigment
Golden Lemon Pigment
Teal Pigment
Naked Pigment
Bell-Bottom Blue Pigment
Naked Lunch Eye Shadow
Climate Blue Eye Shadow
Star Violet Eye Shadow
Parrot Eye Shadow
Pink Grapefruit Neo Sci-Fi Tinted Lipglass-
2 Solar White Eye Shadow-
Blue Flame Eye Shadow

Then I realized I didn't order my eyeliners so:

Liquidlast Liners in Blue Herizon, Greenplay, and Auto-Orange

Today I was thinking I should have orders some duplicates on my brushes, but all well, I will just have to clean them more often.

 

[Zeastlake]

I got-

Blanc Type e/s
Poison pen e/s
Shadowy Lady e/s
Gulf Stream e/s
carbon e/s
Nylon e/s
Saddle e/s
Bare Slimshine
Pleasureseeker l/s
Turquatic Heat
Naked pigment
239 Brush
182 Brush
222 Brush
Beige-ing Shadestick
$$$$ Yes Nailpolish
Virgin Isle CCB
Clear Brow Finisher
Engraved Powerpoint Pencil
Mac Softsac Orange
Lychee Luxe Lipglass

Its amazing how as soon as I saw that discount email, all sense of reason went out the door, and I kept ordering more and more.

Oh man I hope this is true! I could use some more e/s in the pro pans.

 

[baysaz]

Monday I ordered:
Warm Chill e/s
Club e/s.

Tuesday when I found out the sale was extended, having another full day of contemplating my strategy and worrying about finding a sold out sign, I took a sudden liking to Climate Blue e/s. How does that happen So, got that and Solar White e/s.

And what do you know, it's Wed. and I see sold out on Warm Chill and Climate Blue, so I'm happy I got in!

I wish they'd combine them into one shipment. But my guess is it'll be 2 deliveries.

Wow! Good thing my CCO (which is only 10 minutes from my house) has a lot of p/p on stock. In addition to Indianwood, I was also able to get Fresco Rose (the last one though). They still had Delft, Rubenesque, Artifact, Painterly, Bare Study, Moss Scape, etc.
