Oh, I hope you do! Maybe you can come when a launch is set to come here first. Then you can bring it back home to all your friends and say "ha ha, lookie what I got!!"

My world would be put on hold for that! If I were pregnant and ready to give birth, I'd ask for a stash of drugs to halt labor just so I wouldn't miss a minute!!

This world is just going to hell in a hand basket on a rocket ship!!

I think you are a very level-headed person and I would like you to be my new best friend.

I have an opening.....

Seriously, this was great advice. Thank you for putting so much effort into your response. Definitely helped me out! You're awesome!


Haha, I'll take that opening if it's still available

Regarding how much of MAC is hype: This is a topic I have wanted to address in detail for a long time. I didn't, because this community is based on this love of MAC cosmetics and it would be a rather unfavourable topic, because seeing how everybody loves MAC here it would be easily taken as an accusation. Plus as someone (student of Social Sciences) who is very interested in marketing and other social topics I can get very long winded, even more so than I am usually.

Please note that I am not attacking the community, or anybody personally. It surprises me to see how so many view the word "hype" so negatively, and feel it necessary to re-establish the cohesiveness of the community, when "hype" is just a marketing technique at which MAC (NOT Specktra) is extremely good and for which MAC (again, NOT Specktra) is responsible.

Some of the ladies posting here have been fans of MAC for a long time, and may not have been as affected by the excitement, but from what I have seen in the forums over the years it seems otherwise. Some personally may not feel that they are generating hype, and I'm not saying that they are, because hype does not come from individuals, but through a group of individuals, triggered by specific marketing moves.

If I go into too much detail, this would go off topic. So I will make a new thread in the MAC chat forum. It seems like a good time to launch an in depth discussion.

EDIT: The thread would be posted sometime tomorrow or the day after. I'm trying to consolidate all the information on MAC and its marketing into a coherent read and it's getting kind of...long. I've warned you all :p.

Sometimes I feel like I'm entering the "mature" phase of collecting makeup where you exercise prudence and descretion when buying.

I really agree with this and what elegant-one and Audrey have posted as well. The same thing happened with Parrot... and once it was re-released... people realized.. it wasn't that special after all, sure it's beautiful, but not really worth the $80 it was going for. Sometimes the hype is overwhelming. Sure, let yourself get excited over the collection and all the colors, but in the end, buy was looks right on you, don't buy it because everyone else is buying it.

Ah, I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad there's no brush fires around me (though I am in Cal too), but yeah, I remember once when the smoke and ash was SO bad... that you became tired just walking around... horrific!

Sonic Chic... Electroflash... Colour Forms is what I'll need.

I need my damn blush!
I need to learn how to use it.

I LOVE Parrot! This is one MAC item I couldn't live without. I am glad I have a backup. Well, I probably wouldn't pay $ 80 for it... But who knows...
