Sorry but I just need to rant ...

She sounds really rude and unappreciative. Even if she isn't into MAC and was careless with the stuff, she should not have acted like that towards you, how rude. If she didn't like it, she could have just returned in (without telling you) and got something else for the money, but like this, it's just a huge waste of money and time.

But I agree, don't waste your money on presents for co-workers (unless it's an agreed upon amount in a secret santa or something.)

Well she started working at my work last year and we started having lunch together and talking everyday, we even hung out outside of work a few times … she even came to my house so I could do her make-up once! But I guess it true what they say … coworkers should not be viewed as friends!

Thanks for the advice hun but I’m pretty sure she tossed everything and she never had any MAC b4. I’m sure she doesn’t even know what the B2M program is! L

And it sounds like she's just jealous of you and wanted to hurt you, but good!

Thanks you!! That is great advice which I will definitely remember for the future!!
She doesn’t seem to be jealous but then again who knows!

OH NO!! … that's why I love specktra cuz I didn’t knows those things b4 I came here either!!

OMG …. I would have freaked too!! … I keep all my MAC in their boxes too, my mum laughs at me but it’s so they are protected!! I’ve even labeled the boxes and all my eye make-up is in a different case from the rest of my make-up. I think we’re the same when it come to organizing our make-up!! J

ANYWAY, since this was sudden she forgot all her makeup and i don't think anyone has seen her w/o it since she was 14. (she's 20 now, i'm 21) i was excited to play with my mac with her because i'm a new collector and obsessor. i like to keep my collection neat, organized and in their boxes even though i use a lot of it...i just like the order. i have a system, e/s in this container, msfs in this, etc. she just kept opening them, tossing them in the wrong container, losing the boxes, WRITING A MESSAGE WITH MY EYELINER omg she knew she crossed the line with that (and she was shocked because it takes SO MUCH to push my buttons), and then i left to go back home (i had apointments back home) and told her to go ahead and do whatever. i come back and my makeup is ALL messed up, it was so frustrating. she used the one item i told her not to, probably because i have doubles of it (northern light msf, i accidentally bought one off here and bought one at my cco and was planning a swap with the double) and everything was in dissarray. idk, i know it shouldn't be this big a deal but i'm unusually neat about my expensive makeup. i guess it's the only child syndrome in me.

Okay this one would require a late night, a shovel, and a bag of lime (I work cheap just sayin).

Even though I fund a boatload of my darling spouses MAC makeup even I do NOT TOUCH IT EVER. The kids know if they get within 5 feet of it and I catch them it's an airsoft pellet to the leg at the least.

You were very generous allowing her to use it.

I would have went OFF on her. Nooooooooooooooooooo. Are you serious?
I feel bad sometimes that i don't have someone to share my MAC obsession with. but now I am actually glad that my makeup is mine and only mine, and nobody else touches it. I might go crazy if someone touches my mac.

I seriously would've smacked her. I'm sorry. I can't believe she did that....

thanks!

I am just wowed by all the generous people there are here on specktra. I only give gifts to really really special people who I know will actually appreciate my gifts, no matter how lame they are! This year it was my family and yeah my roomate didnt really appreciate my lamer gifts. I just couldnt afford it this year.

I am sorry to hear that you got zero appreciation. I would definitely flip out at her and kill her with office supplies. lol

mrheine, will you please please sell the northern lights to me? lol i totally missed out on light flushed msf and cant get it anywhere.. not at the counters.. online.. poo... canada is sold out but the us has them
