A little expensive, but well worth it....

I love their brushes and haven't found anything cheaper that compares...more expensive, but definitely not cheaper.

Am I the only one not hip to Mac! I might have to get me some, well let me think again....my brithday is coming up, I smell a great gift idea!

I had to break down and get some MAC clear lipglass, chestnut liner, and the teddy eyeliner... I am soooo hooked now, thanks to y'all...

And now that I know what I like, I can get it online... there's only one store in my city with MAC.

*Stopping for a minute from furiously taking notes off the thread*

I am soooo glad somebody brought this thead back up!

As a matter of fact I'm actually looking to start wearing more make-up, new hairdo, everything...I've never been a person to mess with make-up/hair very much, I'm a "t-shirt and jeans" girl. However, those "I thought you were 17" comments when I'm actually 23 are getting to be a pain

so I have to do something!

I'm going to check out the MAC counter this weekend @ Lenox (I'm in the ATL) as well as Sephora (also @ Lenox) for some of the products you all mentioned. I was already familiar with Aveda because I have used some of their hair products. Sure, I will be afraid

at first but hopefully things will turn out fine. But keep your fingers crossed anyway as I venture into this unfamiliar territory!

Lol! I agree that once you go mac you will never go back. Another company with pretty colors is Lancome! Yeah the one that gives out free bread every once in a while. I forgot to mention two more products i live by. Revlone's skin light.. i am black and it is a bronzer... but it makes my skin look perfect.. it is a light reflector so it is like little specs of glitter.. it makes you makeup look fresh all day.. another is the oil of olay lip pencil.. it goes on smooth.. sometimes i wear it like a lipstick or under my lip glass .. i just foun out that nordstrom's carry lipglass with glitter in it!

Jingles what you know about that Lancome bread in that black Lancome bag????

exquizit · #68 08-18-2002, 11:29 AM

I LOVE MAC!!!! I use all of the lipglass colors as well as lipsticks. I have a few shadows but I prefer to get the four packs. That way I can't go wrong. My favorites are:

O (lipstick)
O baby
Desire
Prrr
Lychee Luxe

I was a bit afraid of Lychee Luxe because I'm medium brown but the sales person talked me into it. With the Currant or Chestnut liner it's beautiful on me. I don't do foundation, but I do wear powder. I'm addicted to these products.

I must admit that I've had a few bad experiences and I reported them online and recieved free products to make up for them

Girl I didn't even get to go this weekend, but it's definitely on my "to do" list. I'm still excited about it though!

Don't worry, you still have plenty of time. MAC's not going anywhere!!

Nappy_in_NJ · #73 08-19-2002, 11:53 AM

I use Oh Baby and Desire LipGlass and I love them. When I wear them I say I have my slutty lips on.

Otherwise I just slap on some vasoline. When I mentioned that to the lady at the MAC counter she was like "iilllll, oh no". lol

I have never been a fan of foundation but I am contemplating a tinted moisturizer. Have any of you tried one?

Yeah I got my first bread through a Goldsmith's gift certificate that someone gave me for my wedding present.

Just wanted to say that I just purchased "O" and C-thru and I love them.
