NZ Chick :)

Hey guys,

I'm new here. I've been checking out the forums for a few days now and I thought I would make a post !

My name is Fallon and I hail from a small town in New Zealand. Unfortunely, the closest MAC counter from me is 3 hours away and I haven't actually visited yet - I doubt they have much anyway. Apart from that I would have to get them from the North Island which a obviously a nice flight away

Many NZers here? I would really like to get into buying products from others and trading to expand my wee collection. Can someone tell me when I will be able to get into the "Buy & Sell" section?

Hi there,

Nice to see some more NZ'ers joining

Im from Wellington, we have a great MAC counter up here, if your ever up here you should check it out, the Xmas set's should still be out in Chch as they were just released here last week along with Jewelescent.

Awesome, thanks. I can't wait.

How much do eyeshadows go for (in singles and in pans)? And same with the pigment jars? Also, can you get the empty palettes? Sorry for the questions, I've just been buying the odd thing off TM lately.

Eyeshadows go for $34 each, Pigment jars $48, And no you can't get the empty palettes or eyeshadows in the pans they are only available from MAC PRO stores, unfortunately we have none here. Once you can access the Clearance Bin you may be able to buy some from other people though

Hope that helps!

Do you by any chance know if the Couture line is out at the MAC Chancery store yet? Or when it will be out up there?

Yeah theres alot of fake eyeshadows etc on there atm.

Tell me about it :/ I just bought $120 worth of eyeshadows from some lady on there and when I got them they were fake. I emailed her and got some money back in the end - she said she had bought them from eBay and she had no idea by the sounds of it. Sucks for me

I've put them back on TM just now saying that I had bought them & they weren't what i was after, and have a compartment undernealth... so it's kind of obvious they aren't authentic, but I can't say they're not because TM will take them off and I'll never get rid of them

I don't bother buying pigment samples... I mean $10?? You gotta be kidding. I have bought from the dude that sells them for $5 and he is really fast and good quality so I gather they are in fact MAC.

Do you know if they are selling Jewelmarine in NZ stores? And the cost.

Ooh I saw the ones you're selling just before, it's horrible when you get stuck with them and have to try get rid of them. :[ Yes they are selling jewelmarine at my counter, I didn't check the price though probably around the same price as a pigment im guessing, Im going in this week so i'll check then for you

 

[Fallon]

^ That would be awesome if you could

And yeah... I am SOOOO bummed
