How often does MAC offer these F&F sales?

AHHH !! I can't believe i missed this sale! :( Anyone know if there is another one coming up soon? Thanks <3 :)

So, I did another order. Bringing my total to three. I have passed up the HK doll so many times because I didn't really want to spend the money on such a scary looking doll. But I figured for 18 bucks and some change it will look good in my shadow box (yes, I shadow boxed all my HK accessories). Then I got a spare brush, a pigment, and another lipglass. So my total F&F damage was $514. I also spent 88 bucks at CCO yesterday. So I promised my hubby no more makeup 'til Love that Look!

I'm verrrrrrry happy with my haul! I mainly stocked up on basics as well as a few LE products I regretted not buying lol I got: -Studio Sculpt Foundation in NW15 -Studio Sculpt Concealer in NW15 -Steal My Heart l/g -Strayin' l/s -Big Bow l/s -Marquise D' l/s -Empty 4x e/s palette -All That Glitters palette refill It came to around $92, and I saved almost $30! Overall, an excellent day for me :]

I ordered a little bit, on a tight budget, but always have room for MAC. pan e/s Patina pan e/s Gorgeous Gold pan e/s Smut 15 pallet totalled $44.76 or somewhere around there, saved $11 Not bad. Even though a small haul, it makes me happy.

Your Must-Haves lists were super helpful in deciding whether to get stuff or not. So Thanks !

Oh wait! I forgot i got Blow Dry Lipstick as well!

My boring haul: 134 182 Blot Powder 15 pro palette I would have gotten more, but just the thought of purchasing a $63 brush (134) is enough to give me a heart attack (thank goodness for SUMO!) at the tender age of 20. My haul came up to about $133 CDN with the discount and after taxes, yay!
