How many of us are going to a MAC store tomorrow?

Have fun Janelle, I am sure you'll find a few things to bring home

oh yeah ! you bet!

I know I need another 15pan palette, and I also want brush cleaner... the rest is whatever sparks me at the time!

Paige, I just went there tonight and I think they still had all of it, except maybe the Rich Ground Fluidline. They also have the Points of Hue. I don't know if they had the Lustreglasses though; I didn't look.

I think I want all of the eyeshadows at least... all I grabbed yesterday at the freestanding store was the Coco pigment 'cause I have a Macys gift card to use... but now I'm all anxious about missing stuff. Thanks for the update!

Trisha, I didn't them either. I have colors that are too similar so I spent money on Stila instead!!! By the way, I love the texture of Stila lipsticks. I have Jo and I love the color but it melts away and dissappears so fast

What can I do to keep it longer or does Stila have a different lipstick similar to jo's color?

Well, I finally got my stuff today (at Kahala, thanks Jess!), and I ended up buying 4 eyeshadows (Oceanique, D'Bohemia, Prose & Fancy, Bagatelle), and the Deckchair pigment. Luckily the counter was kind of quiet so I got to get a good look at them before buying!

That's great, paige!

The MAC counters by you sell pigments? I only have one in the Macys.. and they dont have them.

 

[wongy74]

The counters sell the pigments that are part of MAC's collections like D'bo, but not the regular ones like Teal, Vanilla, etc. We have a freestanding store, so I can get them there.

Maybe I'll pick up a neutral colored one to switch with instead of always using my Hush CCB. I just thought you had to 'color' your lids with them...and there's your shadow... lol

I wouldn't have even thought of using them as a base. Thanks for the tip! :icon_love

 

[NYAngel98]

Originally Posted by Trisha You can use them as both! if you like Hush, you'll probably like Beige-ing or Shimmersand! x hmmmm.... something to look at while I trade in my empties, perhaps!

I wish they'd give you the discount at the stuipid counter though... that's dumb - it's still MAC - why be so selective?? lol

 

[Bhav]

So do you use your UD PP first and then the shadestick over it?

I may have to try this tomorrow!!

Yeah, that sounds kinda annoying!! But going to the MAC store means there are more goodies for you to buy!!

Hopefully i'll be able to get my pro card soon as i'm most probably doing a photoshoot next month! Yay!!

It wouldn't be a big deal if the freestanding store wasn't like 45 min. away - I mean it's not THAT far, but to have to run there everytime I wanted just one thing or whatever, it's a pain. I really want to check out the Pro store, but that's in the city (about 1hr.15min. by train) so I'll have to be out there already and then make a stop... highly doubt I'll do a trip just for that. But it would be nice to see the pro stuff IRL first without buying it 'blind' lol Although I already know some pro shadows I want from your notepad!

But say I were to call in to order some pro stuff... can I order regular stuff through them also? Like "hi, I'll take an aqua e/s & a shroom e/s" ??? LOL Does that fly? lol

And if I order online from the reg. MAC site... do they honor the pro card?

This is so confusing - I wish it was the same thing everywhere, make life easier!

OMG - Now I think I have officially heard everything! I thought you had one... since you had the pro color e/s - and all the other goodies that you have... wow... you shocked me there kiddo! You should definitely get one, save yourself some $$... (If You find a place that accepts it! LOL j/k)

Stila is an EL owned company, we get 65% off all brands EL owns so i dont need a pro card.

Sounds like everyone got what they wanted. Great hauls! I visited the Vegas Pro store and got some goodies. I forget which ones though so once I finish unpacking, I will let you know.
