Specktra Scoop - MAC Cosmetics to launch LE Lipstick as a California Exclusive

[mac*lover]

so the manger of FV called me know and she apologized about the misunderstanding and she said that they are now excepting the email , and i could stop by any time before the 30th to get the l/s , i guess now i will go after they did call me back like 3 times and apologized

Sorry for the large photos, but here are actual product swatches of the lippy.

It's not the most amazing colour, and I don't quite get all the hype for this but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. It's not an obnoxious porn-y pink (maybe due to the lustre finish) and I think it's actually quite wearable.

I'm definitely made for the darker, bolder colours as opposed to the light pinks and flesh tones, but this is something I could see myself wearing as a change from VGV when wearing a dark smokey eyes + nude lips look.

I compared it to Melrose Mood, which I borrowed from a gal that lives next door, to compare. MM is definitely not for me as you can see :x I applied it twice over my lips for full effect.

I can't believe that someone is trying to make money off of an e-mail. I feel bad for whoever bought it.

I already reported this auction and the two others I found.

Well done!
This is morally wrong too to do that!
This is for a FREE lipstick and he actuallty charges for an email that doen't belong to him. He is stealing intellectual property rights here.
A real scam and "crime".

LOL babe, go for it

I prefer the vampy, bloodsucker reds and berries myself. I am not comfortable doing the porn star look, but I'm perfectly happy doing the I WANT TO DRINK YOUR BLOOD AND EAT YOUR SOUL look, haha

Yay, my boyfriend just called me and he got it!!! He lives in California, while I'm in Texas. I'm sooo happy!!

He also went to FV and had no problems. Also he said they had "plenty" left. So girls, head on over!!

 

[MaryaHari]

Just sent my boyfriend to Fashion Valley with the print out and it worked. He said they just asked for his name and info and put him in the system and gave him the lipstick. Woot! He actually tried to pretend like they wouldn't give it to him when he got back to mess with me =P

 

[xuankristy]

oh my god!!! my boyfriend did the same thing. he told me that they wouldn't give it to him b/c he wasn't in the system. gosh!! boys suck. hahah
