I had a really good MAC themed evening last night!
I just purchased my very first MSF last weekend in a gift set at my local CCO.
BTW, ZOMG ZOMG CCO!! I almost fainted when I walked into that small store. I was in MAC Heaven ;) Needless to say, I definitely blew my entertainment budget for two months, right then and there!
Anyhow, I bought a set called Fun in the Sun that included Shimpagne MSF, Play on Plums MES, and Nuance blush.
Now let me tell you, I have always been super bummed about my skin and since I started purchasing HE makeup I haven't exactly been buying any foundation, powder, MSFs, concealer etc because I could just buy that anywhere...right? I was more into buying WOW one of a kind lipsticks and shadows.
I collected stuff I'm even too afraid to use! Cinderfella MES for example, I just sold that yesterday and after talking to a Nordstrom's MAC counter lady, realized now that I let go of a PRIZED MES. I had only swatched it once and was insanely intimdated by it. *tear* But I still have my Blue Flame MES and Young Punk MES, so I think I'll survive.
Though now... I'm on a QUEST for more MES and MSFs! The first swipe of Shimpagne practically made me cry! When I brushed it across my cheekbone I heard angels playing sweet music and the heavens opening up with praise and bright lights! Hahaha I know now what it is to be an addict.
I can tell by the way I'm describing this experience that I am totally infected. It's an addiction, but I don't want to get better! :P
And....now after my visit to the MAC store, CCO and Nordstroms, my MAC collection has practically tripled.

So, how many ladies on this community are in Orlando, FL? I need to share the love of make-up with some more people who understand just HOW MUCH IT CHANGES LIVES!
I think I should start a local swap meet for my area. Has anyone else tried this? Any suggestions about how to get started?
