I went to MAC on Thursday (when Heatherette was released) and purchased a couple of items.  I was very dissapointed with the Lipsticks and Lipglosses.  All of them looked horrid on me...except for Starlett Kiss.  I really tried to make them work but they just didn't look good on my lips.  Oh well.  Maybe they'll have better lippies in the next collection.

I never imagined my self being addicted to makeup but somehow over the past couple of months I have become completely obsessed.  I recently found out that MAC releases several limited edition collections every year and I was amazed at how popular these collections are.  People wait patiently for the release and then they rush to the store to buy their favorites.  What amazes me even more is that people who I fondly call collector's.  Not only do they buy the whole collection, but they buy several "back ups" in case they run out of their favorite limited edition product.  They basically blow hundreds of dollars all at once.  I would probably do the same thing but I am learning to buy the products that I like instead of just buying things because they are limited edition.  When Fafi was released, I gave myself a $150 budget and when I got to the register my total came to $151.  I'm doing the same for the Heatherette Collection.  I already know what I want and I am just hoping that I won't like anything else because it will push me over the $150 mark!!  The only collection that I completely splurged on is the Barbie Loves MAC collection.  I missed out on that collection so I spent a pretty penny getting the items that I wanted off of ebay.  It was worth it!  MAC is expensive but it's fun!  I love the release parties & makeovers and I enjoy going into the store on the weekends to chat with my favorite MA.  I am looking forward to participating in all of the collection frenzy in the future.

Fafi

I had originally been told by a MAC MA that Fafi wasn't going to be released until Thursday, 2/14 but I was reading through several forums online and people were saying that it was being released today (2/13).  I decided to give my local MAC store a call this morning and to my surprise and excitment, Fafi was released today.  I didn't even wait for my lunch break.  I asked my boss if I could take an early lunch and I headed to the mall.

I wasn't worried about the makeup selling out but I was worried about the scarfs....they are already sold out online!  My store said that they only recieved 15 scarfs and they had already sold half of them (and it's only 11:45am).  I gave myself a $150 limit and the total damage was $151.51.  I wanted to get the 217 brush and 219 brush but those can wait.

I was the only customer in the store so I spent about 20 minutes playing the all of the Fafi products.

My Haul:

Fafi Scarf

1 Fafi Doll

"Fashion Frenzy" Blush

Eyeshadow Quad #2
Bold as Gold e/s
Shockwave e/s
You're Fresh e/s
Prankster e/s

"Rollickin'" Paint Pot (my MA said this one is going to sell fast!)

"Nice Vice" Paint Pot

"Totally It" Lipglass

"Most Wanted" Slimshine Lipstick (this is not part of the Fafi line but I love the color and the MA told me that the slimshine lipstick are like gloss and lipstick all in one).

I was originally going to place my order online but I am new to MAC (and makeup) so I like to test everything on myself first to make sure I like the color.  Thank goodness I did because I didn't end up liking any of the lipsticks and I only liked 1 lipglass (I had planned to buy 3 lipglasses).  I also wasn't sure if I could pull of wearing the pink blush but it ended up looking really good on me.

The Fafi bags are cute also but I couldn't justify buying one because I have so many bags already (and it would have tacked on another $25 to my bill :). I may change my mind later!

I don't have any pics yet because I am still at work. 

Anyhow, can't wait to here what some of you girls purchased!
