I thought the exact same thing when I saw that! and where the heck was I?! oh yeah...stupid doctors visit...maybe another will pop up at a reasonable price...yeah, I hear they finally got pigs to fly too...
$100?! Really MAC? Really? and you couldn't throw us a bone...you know, your loyal customers who buy way too much as it is but would have been absolutely thrilled to be rewarded for our patronage...you know the LOYAL customer that would NOT have put up a FREE lipstick on e-bay for the stupid astronomical prices that we will now see...yeah...thanks MAC...reward the people who don't give a flying crap about your beautiful make-up...yeah, you really make me want to go spend that stimulus check burning a hole in my bank account in your store...
Oh who am I kidding?!
Stupid MAC! I'd still follow you to the ends of the earth, free lipstick or not.
*kicking myself for stupid pigment obsession*...

i'm obsessed with pigments too, but i wouldn't be paying $100+ on ebay to get one, especially from someone who got it for free, like people are doing with this damn lipstick.
i can't believe people are getting a postcard and all they gotta do is walk into a store and get something for free. then they turn around and sell it for
prices, and people are actually paying those prices.
is as
does!

As silly as it is, if it were a free pigment that you could only get with the postcard (like this lipstick) I would probably pay that kind of money *runs away and hides*
I wouldn't pay $100 for a lipstick...but that rare of a pigment...would be really hard for me to resist...I have all but about 9 MAC has made and by golly it is an obsession.
But I would never sell a free item they gave to me, there are too many people who are missing out who deserve it...jmo...and it sucks for those of us who want it and can't have it. Like dress camp. People bought it just to hike the price, luckily not the awesome specktra-ette who sold me my palette, but others did just to put them on e-bay and it sucks for those who would have just bought it and used it.
Everyone is out for a buck. And yeah yeah...supply and demand...blahblahblah...it sucks because people take advantage and ruin it for people who genuinely just love the product and want it for that reason.
I agree
is as
does!
I'm ranting way too much! I'm just bitter because I live in California and MAC doesn't love me enough to send me a postcard...anyway it's way past my bedtime

damn that's alot of pigments. my collection isn't that big. i just get ones that i like and will use (and it sucks that i work at a counter and can't wear em if we don't have em or sell out of em). granted, that's alot, but not as much as yours.
do you have a list somewhere on here of the ones you have, AND the ones you don't have?
its time for me to go to bed too.

When I freelance it's in a Macy*s so I feel you on not being able to wear them...but they come in handy for b-day parties and Halloween lol.
In my signature is my collection post, the pigments are at the top--I've gotten a few more since I've updated, but those are crossed out on my W/L
and I have a wishlist floating around here if you search my posts (some on my wishlist I just want more of...like turquoise & Royal blue lol) But I believe it's about 9 I'm missing. I have most (not all) of the glitters. All but like 8 of the DC ones and working on getting the rest of the new pro ones. Like I said, obsessed...ok now it's really time for beddy-bye.

I saw that. I feel kind of sorry for that girl... Though, maybe she felt guilty selling it for more then retail? I just hope the person who bought it doesn't turn around and sell it for $100 LOL. MAN, I wish I would have gotten one... Apparently I could have paid my phone bill with it!

Guys I have some very sad news. I emailed/text everyone in my family that has ever purchased MAC and told them if they got the postcard to give it to me puhleeeease because I know they don't care about it like I do...and my cousin told me her roommate got the postcard last week and threw it away. She said she didn't read it and just thought it was an ad or something!!! Can you believe that?

i have only gotten a postcard from them when mac fafi came out and i dont even know if it was on my moms name or mines. Anyway besides this i have never gotten anything free. i guess i am not so lucky to get this lipstick. am probably not even on their system. this sucks. i want it because i only have one lipstick.

Haha the first thing I asked if their trash day had already passed and she said yes. So sad. I know that there are probably lots of people throwing the card away, oh if they only knew. But I actually want the l/s to have, I think the color is really pretty not to sell for some crazy price! It's not meant to be
