Hi Everyone,

MAC is great! and i have been using it since my early 20s, but I stopped because it is manufactured by Estee Lauder, and I believe they animal test, which totally went against the whole ethics of MAC.

I am quite disappointed by this!

No I mean NYX, I think you can buy it at Ulta?
They are cruelty free and many people say it has great quality for their price.
I have some of their pigments which you can get at cherryculture dot com for I think 1 $ and they are reaaaaally great!

I didn’t know Estee Lauder owns MAC. That would make it cheaper here, then.

I thought Estee Lauder owns MAC?
Shouldn’t it be cheaper in US, too?

By: rory

rory — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 22:55:54 +0000

Yes, MAC is cheaper here. But there are many products like clinique,Lancome, Estee Lauder, ect, that are cheaper in Europe, right? Or atleast France. MAC is the only “nice” american make-up brand I can think of!

MAC is much cheaper in the USA than in Germany, so be happy about your %

I can’t believe how often new LE’s come out! They must have a really quick fabricant!

Are MAC cosmetics good? Isn’t that like asking “Do we need to breathe?”

By: KittiChai

KittiChai — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 01:29:31 +0000

Really?!
I should go to a MAC counter and ask them to help me fining an eye base/primer with me but I am way too scared

By: rory

rory — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 02:50:25 +0000

The shadesticks rock.

By: KittiChai

KittiChai — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 01:09:55 +0000

maddie, could you please write something about the shadesticks and other primer/base stuff from MAC?
I very excited about that!

By: KittiChai

I just got to see some MAC stuff in real life and wasn´t that impressed because the eyeshadows didn´t show any color on my skin… crazy but true!
i heard that there will be a new LE coming out jan 08 named retro girls and I am very excited about that!

Mac is my my favorite makeup brand, hands down. Every product I’ve owned looks beautiful. Plus, the lipglosses stay on for like EVER. They do pink liops like no other.
I really want to try the new collection.

I am a faithful MAC user. I like MAC because they have such bright colors that look great on my skin. I am a NW 50 and it is very hard for me to find colors that I like. The only thing that I will not buy from MAC again is their mascara. It clumps big time.

Okay, then I’m definitely going to try Painterly’s Paint Pots and the Zoom Lash. Thanks, Maddie! )

Judy I had that problem with cream eyeshadows, too(I’ve tried tons).Trust me you’re not doing anything wrong…That’s why I’m amazed by Painterly’s Paint Pots: not even a crease, blend perfectly and dries instantly! I recommend it for all day wear.I now use black, brown and Moss Scape. I apply it on my upper lid and I also use a lip brush for the smoky eye effect.And it’s waterproof. Doesn’t smudge a bit! Even if you put your finger on it
Zoom Lash is perfect for me, I have also the Diorshow in my hands and I must say (although I love Dior) is below my expectations, so I prefer ZL by MAC.

Hi Maddie,
Yes, my skin is a little on the dry side. But lately I’ve been using a mineral foundation and haven’t had any problems.
I never tried cream eyeshadows because of the creasing and it would never blend well, but I guess it was because I was doing something wrong. lol
I’m definitely going to try the Zoom Lash from Blue Storm. I’ve been spending TONS of money on finding the perfect mascara. Bourjois Pump Up the Volume has done a good job for me thus far, but I don’t want to settle. I want to try Dior’s Show Mascara and Zoom Lash. lol

Hi Judy,
I guess your facial skin need more moisture than their foundation offers…
I received Painterly, IN 3D and just the other day their new fall/winter collections Blue Storm and Smoke Signals.Where do I start telling you about it?
Painterly has the most lasting and good looking cream eye shadows I ever tried in my life and the shades are definitely gorgeous!
3d Glass is the perfect treatment for dry lips besides making it look so fleshy and fresh.
Zoom Lash from Blue Storm became instantly my favorite mascara as it offers so much volume instantly! As for the eye pencils and Smoking Eyes4, you just have to see my pictures! Needless to speak about their lasting power and the colored pearls effect…The only products I wouldn’t dear to wear is the nail polish from Blue Storm and I’m not so impressed by the quality either.But MAC rulz anyway!

I love MAC Cosmetics. They have such vibrant colors! However, their foundation always makes me breakout, but they do offer great coverage. Oh, and the pencil sharpener is the best in the market!!
