I just got back on Sunday from my family trip to Disney. While I was there I decided to look up the Pro store in Orlando and pay them a visit, well 2 visits exactly, LOL. I was able to get over there (its in the Millenia Mall in Orlando [this is the Pro store which is a free standing store] and also a counter at the MACY'S in the mall). I did get my tax return while I was away so I decided it was OK for me to spend some there and boy did I get some goodies! I cant remember everything but I bought some pigments in Cool Pink which is a Pro item, pigment in tan, & pigment in chocolate brown. I bought some creme base eyeshadow in Pearl and Hush which are beautiful and are great as bases. I also bought the Hush eyeshadow, Brule, & Tete-a -Tint. Fliudline in blacktrack, Macroviolet and Rich Ground which is a bronzy brown. Its gorgeous even as an all over eye color which the MA suggested as an option. I caved in and got the other Hello Kitty face powder in Pretty Baby since I already have the Tahitian Sands one. The pink is great and glides on my face so smoothly making it so easy to apply my regular blush on top. Then I had to get some brushes! I did not bring an eyeliner brush with me on vacation so I bought the 210, 212 and the 219. I bought the 195 concealer brush to apply the paint pots (I bought bare study-LOVE IT!) and other creamy bases. When the Creme Team stuff came out I didnt think I would like them or that they would work with my complexion but I fell in love with Shy Girl and Cream in your Coffee. When I has my makeup done a few weeks ago at a Mac store where I live the MA used Fix+ on me and I liked it so much that I bought that too. OK, I bought a lot and in no way am I trying to brag about it. I just wanted to share with you what I bought and see if anyone else has the same stuff. It would be nice to know if anyone has these products and how you guys use them and in what combinations you use them (color combos and suggestions).

Great haul! I think, of the items you bought, I only have Blacktrack....lol. Oh, and a 219 SE brush...lol. That's so nice that you went to Disney! Fun, fun. How was the Mac Pro experience? I want to go! Aside from my HK goodies, I picked up Lavender Whip and Ever So Rich from Cream Team. I also picked up the new Studio Sculpt foundation and concealer and a few brushes (134, 252, 109, and 190). I'm now waiting for Sugar Sweet and Rose Romace collections (ie. saving up money).

Wow that's awesome. Being a full time college student I don't get a tax return
. My boyfriend gave me $60 out of his but I figured it would of been a waste to go to MAC or Sephora since I would of only been able to get a few things so I just went to Target and picked up some small things. I'm saving up to start my MAC collection so we'll see!
How was the weather down there? Beautiful probably.

I definitely think I need more room to dedicate to my small collection especially if there are always new products coming out every month or so! Disney way great, thanks! My husband was so nice to take me to the Mac Store in the middle of our vacation. Every Mac store I have been in has been a great experience. They are all set up pretty much the same and are easy to navigate. Its very easy to become overwhelmed and not know what you initially were looking for. I was so happy to have a wonderful MUA help me chose my things.
I also just found out yesterday from a MAC MUA that you DO need a Pro card to shop in the NYC store. Its one of the only ones she thinks that you do need one. I personally think that they lose a lot of money that way and its not like the store is small because its big and can hold a lot of people. Silly, silly, silly, in my opinion and now I am so glad I did get a chance to go to the pro store in Florida.

Well I just haven't had the chance to buy the membership. I haven't been to an actual MAC store, just the counters. The counters are sometimes frusrating to navigate because you can't just pick a color yourself, you kinda have to wait to name off everything you want haha. Are the stores like that?
I think even if me and my boyfriend went on vacation, I would find someway to get to MAC or Sephora. It's sad, but its what I love!!

I'm in the Danbury Macy's! We're not all that far from Sephora, just into Macy's and down the escalator and then our area is right there. Nobody wants to visit me!! ;__;

When I get some extra money, I'll be visiting MAC to get some brushes/eyeshadow so maybe I'll just take the trip to Danbury and visit a fellow specktra member!
