Last week I went to the Hello kitty unvailing event at the MAC Pro Store in San Francisco, CA.  I arrived at the store at 6pm (my appointment was for 7pm).  I was the first one in line and there were about 50 behind me.  Before entering the store they checked your ID (alcohol was served) and checked to see if your name was on the RSVP list.  I spent about 15 minutes swatching the products then I picked what I wanted and headed to the register.  It took about 10 minutes for them to pull my products and another 10 minutes to check out.  It was my first time attending a MAC event and I had a blast.  I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure what to expect but everything went smoothly.  The only thing that bothered me was the amount of people that were crammed into the store......an the fact that they only had 2 registers to check people out.  After about an hour, the line to check out was crazy!!!!!!  I am so glad I bought everything when I first got there.  After making my purchase I walked around sipping my drink and chatting with the MA's.  Overall it was an enjoyable experience.  It surprised me that there wasn't a larger turnout for the SF store.  I heard that it was super crazy at other MAC events.  People were having to wait in line for 1+ hours to get into the store and then wait another 1+ hours to get to the register!!  That's pure madness!!

So I decided to finally take everything that I have purchased over the past month out of the bags and spread it out on my kitchen table.  I have been meaning to do some "haul" posts but I just never got around to.  Everything was still in bags sitting on my kitchen table.

There are a few more miscellaneous items mixed in with the stuff listed above.  Eventually I will get around to posting pics of individual items and maybe even doing some reviews on them. 

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!
