I lived here 90% of my life and SATC is nothing like it. ETA: what is everyone doing up at 4am? LOL I just came in from making rounds around the city.

Miranda was always my favorite out of those 4 and Samantha is the most entertaining. I really know of girls who think they are Carrie for some reason. They need a reality check.

I'm up b/c I fell asleep super early and missed everything!

I'm going to one of the most awesome malls in NJ. I want to go to Sephora, H&M, Urban Outfitters, Victoria's Secret and of course I have to eat. Yes, food is my other love!

That sounds like a blast! Mmm...food!

Enjoy everything, and eat something totally delicious so I can live vicariously through you.

TTB Update: The rat man will be here in less than 12 hours with my black boxes, woooooo! I'm gonna grab them, sign the thing, and close the damn door without even making eye contact!

Well I didn't think I would buy anything but when I was at my nearest MAC counter and looked at some of the items I couldn't resist....
There was actually alot of nice products, I was more impressed than I thought I would be.

I ended up buying
Firecracker e/s, I love Veluxe pearl so I hade really no choice...
Flurry of Fun l/g, how could I resist that teal glitter....

I'm still thinking of the rest... The other MAC counters will get To the Beach the 15th of june so I'm still think about Temperature rising l/p and Lifes a breeze l/p, it looked really good under Flurry of Fun.
Hipness blush was nice but I'm not sure, it's the same with Marine Life, it'äs nice but.... Well I see!

Rosemary and Thyme was really pretty but I'm not in a hurry since it's permantent....

They didn't have all of the lipsticks, Thrills was gone and that was the one I was interested in so I'll have to go back and take a look at that one.

I did miss the Luster drops last time but I'm not convinced of there awsomeness.

That's exactly what I do!

On a related note, My friend and I walked into her apartment after running around all day and there was a little black box on the kitchen counter. Yeah, a Mac box. Can you believe this woman opened the box, threw away the paper and then sat the products aside and began reading a magazine! I was all

. How dare she? When I get any makeup I sit there and

for at least half an hour. She ordered items that I already own, but didn't I sit there and stare at it and touch it anyway.

ok so i woke up early this morning. even though monday is a holiday, we are swamped at work so i volunteered to help the few that were scheduled to work that day. i decided i am worth more than what i'd already bought from this collection: i made another online order.

it's easier to list what i did NOT buy from TTB:
both cream and powder bronzers (i have every refined golden and golden from the summer collections from the past 4 years, i really need to get to using them! the cream bronzers at the counter were so slick and greasy...they could be nice but i also think it's something that will go bad too quickly for someone like me that holds on to a lot of makeup for a long time)

lipliners (don't use)
beachbound (frosty and light, dont like it on me)
funbathing (too dark,dark lips make me look severe)
humid (have it already)
float on by (i love it, but i have a LOT of teal pencils)
blushes (have too many,many are untouched)
np (yuk)
bag (don't need,it's cute though,kinda pricey for a tote)
pink rebel ld (too light, i got the other one)
splashing lg (i have too many lg)

soooo, i'm done done done. i can't wait to try the body oil, i haven't read much about it. it's a product i usually wouldn't look at but i don't have anything like it-plan to use it on my legs this summer for a nice sheen!

i also let another bottle of turquatic slip into my order. i LOVE fragrance, and this one always gets compliments. i just think it goes perfectly with this collection since they didn't have a beach themed scent to go with it.

i've added my quick face of the day:http://www.specktra.net/forum/f166/beach-165154/
i can't wait to see spectra's looks with this collection!

You don't need to scrape it, the color just applies a lot better with a brush, for whatever reason.

It's not gone, they never got it in the first place. Your best bet for Thrills is NK in June.

How come in the US the box is black? I only get those ugly brown boxes when I order something from the website.

Well, I only care about what's inside, but I got curious.

 

[nursie]

InspiredBlue^thank u for that! it was really dry for us swiping our q-tips over it at the counter, i love the color so i hope it will be great

In the UK the box is black too! It's weird that your boxes are brown

they're not similiar at all on me. i have tons of pink lipsticks, lazy day is not like any of them. it's pure love!

 

[yazerella]

I don't have any pink lipsticks.. (the only remotely pink one I have is Patisserie, but I'd even call that a nude-pink). Would Lazy Day look good on anybody?

I don't know if it would look good on anybody... But I think it would look good on you.

I asked why, when the other girl said it was fine, and she said her manager said no. I don't believe her. So I headed over to The Bay, and after a few minutes on the phone with someone the girl let me get a l/s, but she said something weird, like she can do it now, but if I come back another time I may not be able to. I didn't really get it, but I left with Lazy Day. I originally wanted to get Splashing, so I will probably the the Mac store again tomorrow with a different MA. When LoL was out, I asked and they said no, not for that collection because it's partnered, but usually LE packaging is ok. Ugh, I hate how they are so inconsistent.

My counter and freestanding store have consistently told me they are not supposed to allow B2M for special packaging. Now whether you can find someone who doesn't know that or who likes you and is willing to break the rules for you, that is a different story, but the rule is no.

Oh nooooo...I hope this is not going to be the new thing! I wonder if maybe Bunny or erine could tell us?
