We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities!

*is amused by the culteral oddities of the southern neighbours* This Friday, after a psychology presentation, I’m going to MAC to pick out stuff for a Christmas party. 😀
lol 🙂 Ohh, what’d you end up getting?
No way! I used to work in a mall, and I vowed I would never be in the mall the day after Thanksgiving again… and I haven’t! Good luck to those brave souls that do it though lol
How awful, Mary! I’ve only gone once myself, and thank god I never worked it during my brief stint in retail.
I’m studying for the GREs :(, my test is tomorrow…but my sister nabbed some awesome Banana sweaters and a few MAC eyeshadows and a Technakohl liner for me :).
Ohh, good luck, Tiffany! I got to skip the GREs, and instead had to take the GMAT & LSAT. So NOT fun!
UGH no way am I going anywhere near anything that even looks like a store 🙂 I think we might drive down to the American River and go for a nice long hike. Watch a couple movies and just have an amazingly lazy day. Did all the post holiday cleaning yesterday so today really is left with nothing to do. I might get started on some crafty projects, I need to sew the last pair of PJ pants for Xmas gifts.
Tiffany, what is the GRE test? Hope you do well 🙂
wow your plan seems relaxing :). I never would have thought to go for a hike on Thanksgiving, but I just may take your suggestion next year!
The GRE stands for Graduate Record Examination which is required by most schools for admission to graduate school. I reasoned that I could sacrifice one Black Friday for this test :)..plus I’ll save some money haha! Enjoy the test of your holiday!
That sounds really awesome, Tanya. I hope you had an amazing time! And look at you, almost done with your Christmas gifts!
Well i would have been out there first thing in the morning if i didnt have to work 🙁 but i get off at 4 so i guess thats plenty of time to hit up Victoria’s Secret and MAC for a few goodies!
Aww! I hope you were able to snag a few deals!
My mother and I got up early and braved the mall which surprisingly wasn’t really pack but then again it was 6:45 AM and we purchased clothes, shoes, and mac
Congrats, Barbie! And lucky you to have it not packed yet 🙂
I didn’t think I was going to, but I actually woke up at 8:30 and headed out to the mall. The discounts weren’t great so we ventured out to Best Buy.. now THAT was a zoo with lines and a bazillion people! I managed to walk out with a replacement for my camera that I had lost a couple weeks ago – YAY!
Wow, brave soul 🙂 Nicely done!
I stayed away from the shops today – I went on Wednesday night after my last crazy day of work before the holidays. As a “reward” for being so busy at work and getting everything done, I got a couple of the new Metal-x shadows (Pure Ore and Fusion Gold), Sweet Sienna pigment and Pearl CCB. I took my time and swatched practically everything, it was really fun and relaxing.
And it turns out that Pearl CCB is the face highlighter I wish I’d had all along! Perfect amount of shimmer for me. I love “discovering” products!
Ohh, how do you like the new Metal-x shadows?
Pearl CCB is a great highlighter!
surprising I didn’t brave the black friday shopping because i really wasn’t impressed with any of the deals i did have to work at mac but it wasn’t at all busy in fact the entire mall wasn’t really busy
Wow, that’s crazy, Monica! I went a year or two ago, and I nearly died trying to find parking!
