I would comment on the lipsticks, but honestly there was no display at the counter, everything was thrown into a tiny ass container that looks like it was meant to hold pencils or something with 5 people rummaging at the same time. Officially over TTB... going on a MAC break until Alice+Olivia.

Did you like the fashion? That is what I want to see.

Hmmm. My UPS and FedEx people just ring the bell and leave my boxes on the front steps. Maybe you can get instructions with your signature put on file like I did, specifying that you want your packages left...that way you can just keep your eye out for this guy and open your door only after he leaves?

OMG, I LOVE this line!!! I'm storing that gem away for future use!

Your FOTD is beautiful, I love that lip combo on you!

Strange that not all MAC boxes are black. I'm really lame and keep all of my black boxes and re-use them all over the house for storage. Usually I cut off the tops and cover the boxes with fabric or contact/wrapping paper and use the foam squares from the top and bottom of the box padding for cushy-ness. Crazy or crafty? Probably both!

All the talk of Lazy Day made me go get it yesterday and I'm kicking myself now. Don't get me wrong - it's a pretty pink lipstick. But to me it's sooooooo similar to Creme Cup that it was a waste.

silly you!

well, maybe it will be too sheer for your liking but I have really pigmented lips & it tones them down beautifully & all without lookin like a crackhead

My UPS dude just leaves the package on the door, doesn't knock or anything. When I go out there to bs with him, he offers to carry it to my door, but I usually meet him in the yard.

To the girl that said the UPS was joking about dropping a deuce in your toilet, I LOL'ed. I personally would rather have him ask to use the toilet than to facilitate one of our bushes instead.

What mall is that?

I am coming to NY/NJ for a shopping trip by bus June 11-12 and we are supposed to visit some nj mall but it has to be off the NJ Turnpike and close to a Marriott. Somehow I must find myself to the MUFE boutique and Inglot, nothing else matters to me, not even clothes b/c I can see and order clothes from anywhere.

i agree about sand & sun, when i first swatched it i was so angry

i remembered the bad feedback

but than i got my brush out and it went on so smooth and was a pastel peach color

i really do love it, actually. but i'm super fair, i can see this working on darker complexions, too though because it is a pastel and i think it would look really pretty against tan or darker skin. idk, i just really like this shade,

I get the ugly brown box as well, haha. I somehow think they should be packaged better as well. All I get is a flimsy piece of paper over my items

 

[Notorious19]

I really like wearing Thrills with a tiny bit of Glamour OD Dazzleglass, such a pretty combo!

 

[esme77]

I got Refined Golden yesterday and am now thinking it's too dark (I'm NC 20). Should I trade it in for Golden?

My freestanding still had ML but I passed on it ... one more for somebody else.

Awww, thank you, you're making me want it! Enabler! I've already spent so much money on this collection, I am so broke right now, lol.

That's awesome! That's so crafty, I might have to start doing the same!

Everyone's feedback about Sand & Sun is making me regret not buying it! Maybe when I have money in a couple of weeks I can go back for it if it's still there..

The Cut is hyping Thrills today. New Yorkers beware, if you want it and don't have it yet.

Best Bet: M.A.C.’s Thrills Lipstick -- The Cut

I say definetely check it out. It gives a soft wash of this cool, mauvey pink i've been looking for and is buildable. I can see it working on you if it actually shows up... with a grey smokey eye

Most of my cool toned pinks have a lot of white pigment in them that makes them hard to wear day to day

So anyways, dilemma. Can someone please talk me out of Beachbound? The more youtube videos I see on it, the more I want it. I'm thinking of putting another order in soon since I just relealized my Naked lipliner is completely hollow

I do admit I had a couple drinks the last time I took it out haha but wtf, I only got one use out of that baby. Also thinking of backing up Lazy day and picking up Thrills for my mom. Is the frost formula drying? I got her Made to Order (lustre) and Chanel's Genial for mother's day already but I think this would look so good on her warmer skin

aren't they the same colour... but golden has no sparkles so you won't be betteroff colour wise.

I am wearing Firecracker today - I wore it on the lid with Ricepaper in the inner corner and a little bit of UD Twice Baked in the outer v. Shroom to highlight. Very pretty, I think, and perfect for blue eyes gals (and guys)!

Is there any chance of MAC restocking?

I had pre-ordered with Nordstroms and was pretty happy about it thinking since I had pre-ordered I would for sure get it. But this morning I checked and they cancelled my order. I don't think I will ever pre-order with Nordstroms again.

Ohh please try it and let us know if you like it! My lips are similarly pigmented as yours and I also thought it might be too sheer for me!

Thanks!

Creme Cup is not quite like Lazy Day but could possibly look similar depending on your own lip color. Its a little pinker & slightly dustier.

California Dreamin is probably the closest to Lazy Day. They do look identical in the tube, however, Lazy Day appears to be just a tad pinker & the color payoff is different. There is something in Lazy Day that tones the lip color down & makes it an almost nudish natural pink on. California Dreamin doesn't really do that.
