This makes me sad!

Okay, I love MAC makeup just as much as everyone here on this forum, but... $162 for a Mineralize Skinfinish?!!? That is just absurd, I understand it's rare and beautiful but it's still only a makeup product (one that retails for $23 nonetheless). Think of all the other wonderful great MAC makeup you could get for $162! I think this is just crossing the line, no offense if there were any bidders but I think it's okay if I tell you you're crazy! I bet the bidder will be laughing all the way to the bank, however. Good for her, bad for the bidder.

I think it's shameful. After seeing something that wasteful, I hope it is re-released soon.

Maybe this person gives a lot to charity and does a lot of unselfish things for others, so this isn't a big deal that she's splurging like a psycho on a piece of makeup.

Pink Opal you say? That's good to know. Tan was suggested to me as a sub for Naked You without the big glitter and I am nuts over it!

Thanks for that! Altho I swear by the Tan pigment! At least on me, it's got the color I was looking for out of the Naked You.

I don't doubt it.

I've only heard that on here and LJ a few times, and I've never tried pleasureflush.
Regardless, I simply can't imagine spending 55+ dollars on a piece of makeup. :/

I don't know what's worse... being the person who sold this then the rest of their stock plummets because Pleasureflush is re-released or being the person who buys it and realizes that Pleasureflush is worth all of about $10.

God I hate ebay.

 

[Shimmer]

I must be in a minority...as I really don't have THAT big a desire to have it. Everything I've seen of it looks kind of...blah. :/

 

[Wattage]

I agree 100%, Shimmer

The only MSF's that were worth even 1/4 of the hype they get (imo) were Stereo Rose and So Ceylon.

The rest make people look greasy. And it's not just me... friends I have put it on look the same.

Thank God they break me out because heaven forbid I be lemming these things...

lol I like the ones I have, but I didn't pay too much of an unreasonable price for them. I pretty much don't covet older stuff anymore. Too much by way of good stuff coming out now.

I could not agree more

 

[Shimmer]

besides! Christmas is coming up! I have to get kids' presents before mine!

Do you know what the sad thing is... if I had that much money, I would buy it.

girl, there's nothing to be sad about at all... if u want it and can afford it.. get it.. that's my philosophy.. doesn't matter what anyone else thinks as long as YOU are satisfied with your purchase regardless of what you spent for it!!

no offense, but no one has to justify why they're spending what they're spending. It all the same to me if someone is buying something they really want, be it a coveted piece of MU or italian boots or a designer handbag. It's their money and they can spend it on whatever they want.

 

[Shimmer]

not necessarily.
If they're spending to the detriment of their life or their family, it's something that should be justified.
If they're not, however, it's their prerogative.

I guess so. But I'd just feel like I should be giving the money to charity or something, instead of spending $160+ on one item of make up!

 

[Juneplum]

^ well that's something different entirely

 

[Wattage]

LOL - if I won the $42 million lottery in Canada over the weekend, I would buy it, and then donate it to charity.

Heck, I would buy the damn factory and give free MSFs to all Specktraettes
