I believe it's just one refill, but I could be wrong.

If it comes with one refill, my MA gave me an extra one. I got two sponge refill. She let me swatch the eyeshadow palettes that will come out next week and I am really leading on the warm palette. I told her I will come there next week. They are putting out the display this weekend so people can preorder their items. She also show me the one of the brush set.

Everytime I go there for a new collection, she is always working. I wish I can buy at least a $200 limit because she is so nice and I think I will only go to the counter when she is working. I also need to catch her name next time so I can ask for her.

I FINALLY got Petticoat. I had it in my hand when it was out about 4 years ago, but then decided not to get it. I kicked myself over and over again since then! I cannot believe though that the MSF's are now $30. I recall them being about $23 or so when they first came out, and I don't think they came out that long ago compared to how much they have increased.

 

[carolicious]

omg gold deposit is perm too?!!! thank goodness! I was feeling bad about leaving it behind and was wondering if I should go back and get it even though I wasn't really feeling it at the store.. but yayy, now I can put off soft & gentle and gold deposit for later!

I got petticoat & so ceylon today and I must say, I'm really liking so ceylon!
I also got the black russian pearlglide eyeliner b/c they ran out of rave

but it's gorgeous nevertheless!

I got petticoat, love it as a blush on my nw20 self. A beautiful peachy raspberry shade. Love!

So ceylon was too bronzey orange for me. Pass

Soft and gentle was pretty tame and sheer. Pretty, but i preferred petticoat

The sheersheens didnt impress me. Lucent was pretty, but chalky on my cheeks. The bronze was too orange and the white wasn't smooth at all. Too much work and a fail imo.

I

petticoat as well. I want to get about 50 backups but since I have never even used up my original one I think I will be ok with just getting one. I am glad to know that the sheersheens didn't impress. Now I don't feel so bad about skipping these. I still want so ceylon even though I am NW15. I think it is more that I want to have every MSF and not because I would ever use it.

correct, every six months they will be replaced with new ones.

Adding to the Petticoat loooove

I was so thrilled to actually get this!! I am definitely going back for Soft and Gentle, but i'll take my time since it's permanent. So Ceylon was pretty, but I know I'll never wear it with my super-pale skin.

Totally skipped Red She Said though! First time in a long time that I didn't want anything off of a MAC display case.


Now they just need to rerelease Lightscapade

I second this and also stereo rose (since I never got that the first time around)!

OMG, I finally saw So Ceylon "in the flesh" today!!!! It's been on my list for so long (like De Menthe & Guacamole) but it's so rare & loved that I'd given up all hopes for seeing it, much less having it. It's such a rush to finally see something that's been talked of so much and on my list! I totally had to splurge and get it. I was surprised to see Gold Deposit there too and panicked a bit b/c it was where So Ceylon supposed to be. This is at Fairview if any Torontonians are wondering. =D

So I gather from the above Gold Deposit is here to stay? I did a search through the thread but none of the posts directly mentioned anything on its status. And where did it come from? It's not on the Canadian site at all. And like stv528, I'm bugged at the crazy price hike on them too! A couple dollars maybe but raised by almost $10?? I'm just glad I love my So Ceylon!

Gold Deposit is permanent. It's not part of Sheer Minerals though, it's part of the Mineralize line.

Ada, it is on the Canadian site. You just have to look under Mineralize (under products).

I got Petticoat and the 181...

I love MAC. My MSF is so damn pretty. The perfect veining, omg. Its great. My mom said it looked like a biscuit, then said a cinnamon bun

I swatched it and I almost blacked out. What a pretty color...I cant even describe it....just PERFECT

The 181 is cute...

Well it is a pretty well known fact that Holly, Hef's main girlfriend wanted to get married and have children with him. And well it was a rumor that Holly found out that Hef doesnt want those things, he cant have kids at what 80 years old, and getting married with his fortune will cause quite a mess. So they ended it. There is a rumoer that she is dating Chris Angel as well, there are numerous pictures of them cuddling up in clubs.

Also Kendra found a new beau, i think hes a football player, i dont know the name but im sure you can find out. They went public about their "friendly relationship" on their myspace.

Damn i read too much perez hilton.

 

[anjelik_dreamin]

I got Soft and Gentle MSF today....It's SO BEAUTIFUL! I never thought I really needed a skin coloured highlight but its light and glowy and GORGEOUS! Wakes me right up, and it's really really buildable too. I highly recommend it to pale girls and not so pale alike! I

 

[capmorlovesmac]

I bought a Petticoat backup. I am so weak.

But it is sooo pretty. And I got Earthly Riches MES.

So sparkly and purple!

I'm NC/NW15 and I love So Ceylon on me

Today I was in a rush to leave for classes so I only had time to do my foundation, concealer and powder and then I quickly slapped So Ceylon as a sort of contouring blush on and then put a little mascara and Dremy l/g and was ready to go. Allthough I say it my self it did look rather good

Thanks for the direction Christine! I was looking under Collections, no wonder I couldn't find it. I'm so used to everything being limited!

If I could, I'd buy another Petticoat with more veining... my swatches were always so much lighter than everyone else's! Still pretty, but not berry pretty...(haha)

 

[Winthrop44]

I hope I get a Petticoat with a decent amount of veining. That's the kind of thing that's a drag about ordering online sometimes. My Fresh Green Mix has very little of the dark side and that was really all I wanted it for. Hoping I get luckier this time.

I ended up buying a 2nd Petticoat! I love it!
