BLAH…

Hey Christine, I just saw an offer on Craigslist about a brush set from MAC…
I’m a bit suspicious about the set, knowing that MAC cosmetics doesn’t sell brush sets.
I was wondering if you can maybe check the picture of the set out and see if it is trustworthy enough to actually spend $35.00 on it.
Although, a MAC brush set for $35.00 does seem a bit untrue for me.
http://palmsprings.craigslist.org/clo/1219270925.html
I spoke to the lady on the phone and she said that they were authentic and brand new.

Back in 2005 Mac did sell brush sets. They were travel size ( 5 to 6 inches long ) and came in an oriental design bag. There were 2 different styles of brushes, but 3 bag collections to choose from ( 2 bags being the same, just different colors) I know this because I bought 2 bags and got a total of 12 brushes. I like them better than the regular size and they were so much cheaper.
Hope this helps. I tried to look at the listing but couldn’t pull it up.
Saturday, July 18, 2009
To be honest, I know MAC has put out sets similar to that, but I haven’t seen that one myself though it could be much older. I haven’t seen anything like that recently – like the past five years.
Friday, July 31, 2009
as a reply about the brush sets….
MAC usually Launches 2 collections of short-handled brush sets every year. The 1st set is always a Nordstoms exclusive that is for their anniversary sale. The 2nd launches in all locations in late October as part of the holiday collection. All sets usually sell for about $49.50 each and differ from the regular brushes with their shorter handle and the fact that they are machine-made instead of hand-made.
Friday, July 3, 2009
SKIP!
Friday, July 3, 2009
Yayy..a collection I can skip. Good news for my wallet.
Friday, July 3, 2009
Agreed…..finally a collection where I am not compelled to buy anything.
Friday, July 3, 2009
Christine, not being nosey or anything. How do you get this information and other MAC products that haven’t been released yet?
Thursday, July 9, 2009
Anonymous sources/tips from readers of the blog :)
Friday, July 3, 2009
And why does MAC promote a collection which has already been promoted in the exact way in February?!?
Friday, July 3, 2009
I’ve never worked for MAC specifically, but a lot of cosmetic companies have what they call “soft” launches for products- same products and advertising campaign, but usually only promoted in stores. This helps to gear up for the “hard” or “full” launch when the campaign begins full press and editorial coverage in magazines, TV, etc…
Saturday, July 4, 2009
I remember seeing it on the MAC website in February, before they upgraded it…
Friday, July 3, 2009
Are they ever going to come out with the lightful ultracharge foundation?? I thought they are going to release this in US!!! I guess I was wrong……. orz
Sunday, July 12, 2009
doesanyone know what the product in the compact is and if its coming to canada!
Friday, July 3, 2009
Eh, not doing it for me. That, and the model just looks greasy in the non-B&W images.
Saturday, July 4, 2009
totally agree, she looks really oily and that is not good publicity !!
well at least I can skip this collection
Saturday, July 4, 2009
I don’t think she looks oily. She just has the dewy look that the collection is all about. Lit from within.
Saturday, July 4, 2009
I love Lightful Deep Ultramoisture Creme, I hope they never discontinue that product :)
Saturday, July 4, 2009
I hope that includes the ultracharge compact!
We REALLY need it here in Australia!!
I’d LOVE to see a lightful liquid foundation too :D
Saturday, July 4, 2009
I’m not interested in the collection but is it bad that I really like packaging?!
Friday, July 10, 2009
Reminds me of clinique. Ick…
Saturday, July 4, 2009
what’s special about the foundation compact??
Saturday, July 4, 2009
I like the packaging but I don’t use mac for my skincare.
Saturday, July 4, 2009
after a bad run-in with Prep+Prime, I will not be trying any of the MAC skincare!!!!!!
Saturday, July 4, 2009
me neither! i’m still dealing with breakout problems from prep + prime!
Sunday, July 5, 2009
wow that’s awful to hear I kinda had the same problem with the face prep+prime but I do love the Refined Zone, Line Filler, and lip prep + prime. :)
Saturday, July 4, 2009
Definitely not a collection for me as I’m not really into MAC’s skincare, but I kinda like the silver packaging. Would like my blot powder in a silver compact like that. A little something different…
Saturday, July 4, 2009
the Lightful line was slightly introduced in Feb…but now on the 30th its going to be PERMANENT in all MAC NORTH AMERICA stores…not just PRO stores anymore…..and as far as the lightful foundation….it would be a godsend if they brought it to the US…..its fantastic!!!! BTW i work for mac!! LOL
Saturday, July 4, 2009
One to skip !
Saturday, July 4, 2009
I love the Lightful Deep Ultramoisture cream. I’m glad it will be available at places other then the PRO stores.
Anyone know what the compact looking thing is in the picture?
Saturday, July 4, 2009
The only one I’m going to try here is the Lightful Active Softening Lotion because I like watery moisturizers. I’m in badly need of a good one. The one from Nuertogena is not cutting it. Thankfully I’m almost out of it.
Saturday, July 4, 2009
pretty colored packaging, but it’s a pass for me :(
Saturday, July 4, 2009
Maybe i will get Lightful Deep Ultramoisture Creme but nothing else but i might skip the whole thing!
Saturday, July 4, 2009
Can’t wait to finally pick this up at my local MAC store. This launched in Asia a few years ago and was phenomenal but now has been improved!!! I’ll be getting the cleanser, lotion (toner), cream and serum. Wish I could get the compact but it’s not available in the US. Stupid FDA and your regulations!
Saturday, July 4, 2009
These days, I get more excited about the skincare collections than the makeup ones! I guess that shows my age! I will have to check this out in person but it looks awesome.
Saturday, July 4, 2009
must… have… packaging!
i love getting pretty packagig and swaping it with the pain black ones :)
Saturday, July 4, 2009
MAC Lightful collection was launched in Asia ages ago,,,, and it didnt become popular anyway
Sunday, July 5, 2009
i think i’ll just get the $24 one just so i can have the packaging!
Sunday, July 5, 2009
what?! dont do it! you can spend that $24 on something else from another upcoming collection! :)
Sunday, July 5, 2009
but look how pretty!!! obviously i’ll go to my mac store to see it first, i’m not just going to order it.
Sunday, July 5, 2009
I just got the cream, cleanser and serum. I hope they work well!
Sunday, July 5, 2009
Is this an old collection??? I have seen it before.
Sunday, July 5, 2009
I have the lightful active softening lotion and LOVE it. I will definitely buy more.
Sunday, July 5, 2009
maybe the Lightful Deep Ultramoisture Creme sine im out of studio moisture fix spf 15. it was ehhhh lol
Monday, July 6, 2009
Is this going to be permanent? I need some new skin care products.
Thursday, July 9, 2009
As far as I know, yes!
Monday, July 6, 2009
Cant wait for this launch! I had mild acne and tried proactive, clean and clear..everything! But after trying MAC skincare I literally havent had any breakouts! YES!
Monday, July 6, 2009
I picked up the line at the MAC Pro store/North Robertson in LA recently since I didn’t want to wait until the end of the month to try it out. Was definitely skeptical at first but have been using it for about 2 weeks and it is fantastic!! It smells so good and I’ve already noticed improved clarity in my skin. The ultramoisture creme is heaven, I love how it hydrates my skin without making it feel greasy–I hate that feeling =p I used to have rough patches on my cheek but they’re gone now, thanks to this line. I’m sold!
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
I love the packaging of this line– in fact, I remember seeing something very similar to it displayed in MAC stores around February and thinking how much I would like to try it out..now maybe I will.
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
Actually, I heard on Kajal Couture (kajalcouture.blogspot.com) that the Ultramoisture Creme was a HG for her! She said it was SUPER moisturizing, but light. I think I might try it..
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
I LOVElove this entire line. I’m glad they made it avail. in MAC stores. Yay…no more shipping $$$ for me :)
Friday, July 10, 2009
the face wash makes ur face feel very rubber-like.
dont like it !!
Saturday, July 11, 2009
I like it but would wear it at night where the shimmer would add that appropriate glow. I think the negative comments have more to do with the lighting than the look.
Saturday, July 11, 2009
skipping
Sunday, July 12, 2009
actually, the editorial pictures does not represent what thw product does to your skin. you won’t look greasy or oil like some have mentioned. I know because I use MAC’s entire line of lightful products that are available in the US. I can’t say how much I love it.
foaming creme cleanser is the most amazing cleanser i’ve ever used. it doesn’t leave your skin tight or dry. if your cleanser leaves your skin tight or dry, it’ll only produce more oils to compensate for lack of moisture because you just stripped all its moisture off.
the softening lotion is really nice to use as a refresher after you cleanse the skin. it makes you feel instantly hydrated.
i wish they didn’t discontinue the daily moisture one if anyone remembers it.
my all time fav moist. is the deep creme moisture or whatever its called. its amazing. it’s almost like a gel, but creamy. never greasy. i’d put that stuff all over my body if I could afford it.
I have the essense too. that stuff is great if you want to even outt he pigmentation/complexion of your skin. super lightweight and non-greasy.
i wish i can go to asia and ck out the compact and the liquid foundation. =T
Sunday, July 12, 2009
agreed times a million. Love this stuff, I’m half asian and it does WONDERS for my skin!
Thursday, July 16, 2009
I’m interested in 2 shadows from the Moonbathe collection and cant’ find them anywhere. Do you know of a comparable MAC shadow for:
Cosmic and Firespot?
Thanks!
Saturday, July 18, 2009
I’d try searching eBay. I recently got mine from there, actually! :)
Cosmic… maybe Woodwinked. Firespot doesn’t have a great dupe – maybe a mix of Coppering and Amber Lights.
Thursday, July 16, 2009
Definately one to skip- never been to fond of MAC’s skincare. I tend to prefer higher ends more since I always splurge on skincare! It is the canvas for everything so should’nt we all invest in keeping it in top shape?
Friday, July 24, 2009
i want the stuff for the packaging cause its super pretty BUT after seeing other collections coming up theres stuff in the other collections that i want so badly i need to like miss out two collections to save up the cash for the upcoming collections i like haha so im gonna have to pass on this collection
Wednesday, July 29, 2009
are they launching the foundation too? i heard really good ratings on it in asia.
Wednesday, July 29, 2009
I’m not positive. It should be up on the website any day now…
Friday, July 31, 2009
The foundation or compact are not launching in north america at this time. They are asia exclusives. I have heard that the compact is favored over studio fix.
Wednesday, August 5, 2009
When will this collection be launched? Its not on MACs site or my local store…
