Is the brush set available at counters???

I believe it will be at MAC stores, but not department store counters.

Awe, girl...I'm sorry. I think you should still go to the party tonight. Maybe you can pick out the stuff you want, have them hold it and pick it up on Thursday?

 

[Lipstickdiva420]

Same! I haven't worn Absolute Power out so I do not need Ronnie but the packaging is so very cute...

I have absolute power also, so I'm like I really don't need it at all. Yes the packaging is very cute!

 

[hazyday]

Do I need Flatter Me is I have Shell Pearl??? Do I need the other powder if I have Play it Proper??? What about Cream Soda blush? are these products so great that im going to have Skipper's Remorse? I'm so overloaded right now.

I think Flatter Me is a lot different than Shell Pearl. Cream Soda blush is a MUST HAVE! I ordered a back up, that is how much I love it!!

I didn't test that with the bb and dlg, but with my kiss and don't tell lipglass doesn't smell like vanilla at all!!

I got it yesterday. Ronnie Red, Daddy's Little Girl and Betty Bright. Ronnie Red and Daddy's Little Girl are my favorites, so I got BUs. Betty Bright is nice on me with a little work. I'm going to look at Boyfriend Stealer and Oh, Oh, Oh in store. Thinking about a few of the glosses, too, even though I know I don't like the tacky texture. Kiss & Don't Tell, Mall Madness and Strawberry Malt. I was hoping someone could confirm if Kiss & Don't Tell is similar to Star Quality or Astral CSG. I love me some Cremesheen Glasses!

What have you tried to get Betty Bright to work? Not sure when I'll have time to play in makeup so I need to live through you. LOL

 

[bevcita]

Got my brushes! What does T mean when she says they're scratchy? They feel soft enough to me!

 

[HSBlondie]

My brushes weren't scratchy either! It's actually a pretty nice set.

Either MAC or UPS has lost my package.

I ordered as soon as it came online and got shipping confirmation on the 31st. I looked at the tracking just to see my delivery date which was supposed to be yesterday the 4th. I didn't get my package so today I called UPS and they told me to immediately contact the sender because there had been no scans or movement on my package, the info I was seeing goes in automatically from the sender it was just showing in transit with the order processed and the origin scan.

I called MAC CS and she said sometimes mistakes happen but they cannot open the investigation until 10 business days have passed.

I asked her to just be honest and let me know if I should be looking for this package or if I need to go the store on Thursday to get my stuff. She was kind enough to say she doubted I would get my order and if I purchase in the store let them know so they can credit my card.

She also told me if I wait the 10 days and don't get my lipsticks they would send them to me 2nd day air.

I asked how that would be possible as these things are selling out like crazy and she said they are obligated to fulfill my order and I would get my products. Maybe all the small restocks come from a stash of products they hold in case of emergency and once deliveries are confirmed they make that stock available. Sorry for the long rant I just needed to vent but I'm enjoying reading all the posts and seeing all the great pics.

yes, I know they hold some products out for emergencies like this. During an Iris Apfel restock I got PP instead of SI. They 2nd day aired me SI even though it said "sold out".

 

[HSBlondie]

Wow...that's a nightmare. I'm so sorry that happened to you, BeautyFairy! I bet you're right about the emergency stash of products though...that totally makes sense.

 

[xlisaa]

I swatched these in the store last week. I'm still debating on Flatter Me :/
I was not originally going to get Prom Princess, but after swatching it, I loved!

 

[Spanky]

Maybe you are using too much? A pea-sized amount is enough. Another thought: As you like the MSFN in Medium, the BB in Extra Light is probably far too light for you. HTH

I know what you mean about it being the wrong color, but the other color (I'm all confused with the names) looked way too dark on me! Thank you.

They probably have some stock left in case problems happen. I know some stores do that too. They say "sold out", but they have a very few left over in case anyone actually received a damaged one so they would be able to swap it out. Sorry it happened! My package for a $100 textbook is lost too (the driver claims they delivered it, showed me the zip code and was totally off from my home zip) & it kind of sucks. I'm without a book & that money could have been used on more items from this collection! Hope it appears soon before the 10 days!

YAY!  I'm excited for you LOL

Me too! I'm at the bank and dying toget home to attack the UPS guy. Tip for those NARS loose reflecting powder buyers. Just peel back that round sticker over the diapenser partway. It keeps most of the product in the jar so you don't waste any.
