yes, one of the mysteries of the MAC universe. The little known $24.50 Macy's-Schrödinger's msf price point-veining paradox. You can know what your msf should cost and how much veining it has, but you can never know both at the same time.

I love Perfect Topping so much...I tried it to set my Studio Sculpt foundatios, and it makes me look so glowy and soft. I've only owned one MSF before, Northern Light, and gave it away...I will never give this one away! Now my only wish is that I would have only had to pay 24.50 for my Perfect Topping!

Thanks!! I applied because a freestanding store is opening in the one mall, which means most of the bay stand employees will be flocking there!! So more room available in the department stores, woopee!

Pff lucky, mine was regular price... 33.50 Canadian

Evidently Macy's didn't get the price increase memo from MAC. Someone at MUA was saying that the Grand Duos were ringing up at $21.00 at Macys.

Yes,SG does look like MM,I have both and you're right

You don't need SG if you have MM,but I just couldn't resist getting SG

And I will be going back for Red Velvet,I'm glad I had my friend at the counter hold it for me,cause she didn't have very many left.

Yeah,let me know if you end getting Red Velvet

I use Perky p/p under LL because that is the only way I know how to make LL to work, then I put Pinkarat l/g on top of it.

Now I know someone will say that maybe paintpots are not lipsafe, I am not sure if they are, but I will tell that if I have to do this to make that damn lipstick work, well, Get her Done.

Glam l/g, so getting that and Cakeshop s/s, tomorrow. I need it because Aquavert turns up ashy on me, but I love the color.

I'm relieved to hear that Sugarshot is not "all that and a bag of chips," since that was on my original list, but I talked myself out of it after inventory of my collection revealed barely-used Solar White, Shore Leave and Shroom. I may yet get Sugarshot, but for now at least I'm being virtuous.

Sugarshot is pretty,but for me it was kinda patchy when I swatched it.

Sabrunka good luck with your application at MAC! I hope that you get it!!

WTH they are $32.50 online! The BBR ones were $33.50

 

[coachkitten]

FYI Spaghetti Cat recommends Sugarshot e/s.

And Spaghetti Cat is never wrong!

Yay Katie!My Perfect Topping has a nice big chunk of lavendar to it

On me too and I am NC25/pigmented lips

I cant wear MM for the life in me. I have to really sheer it out but St Germain is totally wearable alone. They look so similar in the tube but on they are different... even every so slightly but thats what makes one more wearable

I had the same problem with Lollipop Loving showing up. Then a kind MA suggested using Lure lip liner underneath and the glorious golden-coral-pink-greeness shows up. A neutral lip liner would work well too. Lollipop Loving is one of the few lipsticks that is worth going through all these hoops for, to make it work. So unique.

I am beginning to think I need Dear Cupcake eye shadow too. My counter didn't even have the eye shadows out yet, so I didn't get to test it out. Drat you enablers!

Bubbles is H O T.You can do so many things with it,like pale down a lipstick if it's too intense,or make a whole new color with it

((btw, Moonriver is AWESOME on NC25 I have it too lolz))

Thanks for your comment Yushimi!! Which one of the sugarsweet MSF did you get? I am thinking to get perfect topping cause I have hot planet which is plum-ish peach on me. Refined is also in the peachy side right? I have tippy, fun&games, moonriver, hot planet, both HK bp and planning to get perfect topping. Now I wonder if I should get blonde or redhead? ohhh this is sooo confusing. I am trying not to end up with MSFs that are too similar
