That really sh*ts me that an employee doesnt even know their own store's policy! Hopefully the manager is better versed in it....

Got my back up So Ceylon MSF today! Woohoo, now I can replace the one I cracked when it eventually dies. Now I just have to replace Sea & Sky MES and I'm covered.

C'mon F & F I need to buy up!!!

Tell me about it!! And she looked at me like I was an idiot. Now I am thinking I should have told her I B2M'd 42 empties for 7 LE lipsticks last year no problem (all at once lol)! It is annoying that MAC stores are like hairdressers.. You have your favorite artists and they all move to another store and you have to put up with new girls who have no idea. Yeah, the manager said she would go through with all her staff again. Grrr..

LOL Robyn, June F&F is just around the corner!

Which spring colour forecast stuff did you get? I keep forgetting to use quad 4! Grr..

Thanks so much.. Haha.. I am using Shu essence/serum and cleansing oil, which made a huge difference for me. I use Lightful lotion as moisturizer at night and it just keeps my skin so soft, without feeling greasy! I am not usually into MAC skincare, but I love Lightful!!

I love shu's cleansing oil

. I really want to try the Lightful stuff - I've heard great things about it. I need a day moisturizer, but it's such a pain in the butt to get since it's only up on MAC's US website and not available here. I usually order mac from nordies to a mail forwarding company, since they accept my c/c. Argh, I need an american cp friend. lol

I can't believe how much I got from spring forecast... My wishlist was originally Quad 3 &4 and stacked 1, but I got wayy more than that. I told myself, it's ok since I'm starting my makeup collection and I don't have much. But I spent sooo much money on this haul. :S I feel shy about posting how much I got lol.

LOL - I know the feeling!! I had one of my brushes swiped by the ex partner of a neighbour of mine

I dip all mine in nail polish now, just the ends so I know its mine!! You cant get the polish off either without stripping the black off the handle so once they are dipped theres no going back, you know they are yours when you see them!!

Have you tried MAC Studio Moisture Fix SPF? I have a super oily skin, so I skip moisturizer and just use a primer. SMF is not too bad!

Don't be embarrassed!! Everyone here already has a huge haul

, so the most of new collections are the dupes of what we already have.. When Hello Kitty and BBR collections came out last year, I bought nearly whole collections . So what did you get? I only got three lippies, and quad 4, but I am going to grab some more.

I haven't tried SMF, I have combination skin, oily t-zone and dry cheeks. So I need to moisturize well or I look really cakey. I heard lightful is perfect because it suits all skin types. Thanks for the recommendation though

I'm thinking about getting backups of some of the blushes and lipstick. Also getting Rose Maiden l/s and Fresh Salmon.

With this haul, my make up collection has more than doubled. lol I've never worn makeup regularly until recently and had a very small collection, since I only wore make up 3-5 times a year. I loved mac for makeup since 2000, but only had couple of eyeshadows, lipgloss and powders from mac. I think until end of last year I owned maybe 10-20 pieces of makeup throughout my life. So big change XD.

 

[sambibabe]

SMF is suitable for all skintype too

It feels a bit different from Lightful though. Maybe it would help you to ask a sample from the MAC store?

Holy crap Sunniechan, what a fantastic haul!! You would be flying right now

A huge change too! Welcome to the addiction

I get sick and tired of MAC and a couple of months later, I am all over in love with MAC again.. It is annoying to say the least!

 

[sunniechan]

Cool! I'll definitely ask for a sample. Thanks sambibabe

You are so lovely ^_^.

Yeah, you should see my face atm. Each eye has different eyeshadows on it and each cheek has different colours on it, too... I look like a clown on speed! lol

Yeah big change, tbh I never really had interest in makeup, mostly because I was quite clueless to what to do with it. Especially eye makeup because I have monolids. But I thought I'm getting older now and if I don't have fun and experiment with makeup now, it'll just get harder from now on. So I've been trying to learn and try and work with what I have.

I'm a shopaholic so..... getting into makeup is doing serious damage to the wallet. lol

I can see how you can get sick of MAC, with all these releases. The MUA in MAC told me this year there's 52 Collections .

Great idea! This girl is a family member of my partner so it won't go down well if I accuse her of nicking anything. She's just the type of person who has little respect for belongings, hers or anyone else's.. I'm even thinking of sending all my prize MAC stuff to my mother's and making do with a set of Sigma brushes for the meantime, I'm that worried!

Sunnie- I have combo skin and love SMF but received a bottle of the mac oil control lotion by mistake and I love it even more than SMF! might be good to get a sample of that whilst you're there.

So what's the go with this Lightful moisturiser? Sounds interesting..

 

[xLongLashesx]

Oh and today's haul- second Kit brush roll (one for the eyes one for the face LOL) and Too Faced's mini Pink Leopard. Don't think it really shows up on me though..

Aww thanks Sunniechan! I have annoying Asian eyes too and it is always a challenge for me to play with my eyes. It is fun though. 52 collections? Gosh, that is like every week!!

I put clear polish on my brushes too.. Only on the numbers, so they don't rub off ;D

It is good idea to get oil control too.. However it has silica in it, so it might be drying on the cheek area or wherever it is dry. With my oily clients, I just use SMF all over the face and mattifying agent on the tzone area.

 

[sunniechan]

Cool thanks xLongLashesx and Samibabe, I'll checked the both out next time I'm at MAC.

I have monolids but hooded monolids - that probably doesn't make sense. lol I have monolids but I have excess skin so it hoods over my lashes. I find it so hard T.T, there's very little info for lids like mine, so I just play around and hope for the best. Though at times I get self-conscious about whether it looks ok or not. None of my friends are that into makeup, so it's hard to get feedback.

Yeah 52 collections :S, she said some are only really small with just 2 or 3 stuff, that people don't even notice. I was like .

xLongLashesx, the lightful skincare line is originally made for the Asian market but it's become really popular and it became in demand in America so it's now available there. I don't think it's available in Australia. Apparently it's MAC's best skincare line and good for all skin types. I've read few reviews here and there and they all rave about it. I guess it kinda makes sense since asian women in general are fanatics about skincare. My current moisturizer is bit too heavy for day use, so I really want to try it out. But I'll try out SMF and oil control.

Thanks for the rec Samibabe and xLongLashesx!
