^^I may take you up on this. I love this because it is water resistant (they stopped calling it waterproof) and it does stay on me with a good setting powder. Let me check out my stash and see.

I just talked to the girl at the CCO and she said they haven't sent them any of the face and body yet. She suggested you try the website under goodbyes...it might still be listed there. I've also seen the old formulas at the counter...i didn't even know it was being reformulated until Naturalista told me when she went to MAC Pro in NYC a few days ago.

That's messed up they are marking up the price and making the bottle smaller. I also heard that the lippies for the Marylin Monroe collection were going to retail for $18 rather than $15. As long as they don't mess with my Matchmaster foundation we will be alright.

@ bolded #1 - MAC says they are not reformulating. They are introducing the small bottle for sale at non MAC stores. They say they are keeping both sizes (so they say, but my order from this morning could not be fulfilled). The smaller size is to compete with the MUFE face and body (again, so they say - I am researching replacements)

@ bolded #2 - that is crappy, 'cause that's all I want. Plus, I hear that it's actually STICKERS on the packages. What kinda mess is that?

They have not gotten any Face and Body at my CCO either, but they never do so I assumed it never came there.

STICKERS?!?!?! Please God no. Please tell me that was just on the free press kit stuff they got cause if its stickers on the retail tubes...I'm not buying NOTHING.

Finally saw pics of the Mac/Marilyn Monroe collection. The lipsticks will be $16.50, and the eyeshadows are the large eyeshadows they used to sell in the stores. I think I will be re-visiting my dysfunctional relationship with MAC and tossing a Ruffian Red in the cart as well.

Does anyone here use Inglot eyeshadows? Any suggestions for a girl getting started with them? Are the "pearl" shadows really pearlescent or are they glittery? What do they mean by Double Shine eyeshadows?

here's a question -- my eyelids are very sensitive, i have to be careful what i use. as an eyecream what seems to work the best is cle de peau eye creams; however, they are discontinuing the ones i use and have replaced it with one that is double the price. i already was over my budget on this but my eyes are selective.

any suggestions for eye creams for sensitive eyelids?

and, another question -- eyeshadows? i can use estee lauder eye cream shadows but the color range is limited. i cannot seem to use powders anymore, but since i am older creams are probably a better bet anyway.

any suggestions on eyeshadows for sensitive eyelids?

thanks!
