Hi,
Some new things being posted later today:
MAC Liberty of London Lipstick in Ever Hip and Blooming Lovely
Nail Lacquer in Blue India
Beauty Powder in Shell Pearl
All of the above are newly introduced by MAC in its collection Liberty of London and all are now sold out.
Also listed just minutes ago Lancome Blush Subtil in Mosaique Tawny, a gorgeous item, perfect for a gift or mother's day. This item is mint, new in box, perfect and beautiful.
A good friend hit the MAC sale in Canada and has brought home many items for me. I am awaiting their arrival and will post them as they come in, so keep a watchful eye for these. Many of the items are discontinued, no longer available and collection items/limited edition.
Have a great weekend:)

Helpful info re: authentic v. counterfeit MAC products March 6, 2010
Hi all,
Forgot to add one more thing to "how to spot a fake MAC shadow."
MAC boxes have a very nice finish. If you scratch your fingernail across it, there will be no marks left; however, the fake boxes have an inferior finish and if scratched, a scratch will appear and remain on the box, thus an inferior finish. The fakers have not figured out how to accomplish the same finish on the MAC boxes.
All this sounds superficial and subtle, but that is how good the fake MAC products have come. When in doubt, buy retail or from someone you know and trust. Most sellers take great pains to make sure their items are authentic, but every now and then a good seller might not know because the fake items are so close now to the real deal.
Again, seasoned MAC users will know the difference as the proof is in the pudding.
Have a wonderful weekend and please let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

Helpful info re: authentic v. counterfeit MAC products part 1, March 6, 2010
Hi everyone,
Hope you are enjoying the weekend. The weather here has finally hit the 40s, and it feels like spring!
Wanted to give another lesson about how to spot fake MAC shadows. Some things to look for:
The labels on the backside of the shadows should be printed in white lettering, not cream or eggshell or golden or yellowish.
The flap of the boxes should have 2 "nubs" where they tuck into the box. Now, all of the authentic shadows DO NOT have these nubs as this is fairly new packaging.
As mentioned in an earlier post, MAC has changed their packaging now. The former black stickers with white lettering are now replaced with white lettering printed directly on the right corner of the box. Also, the bar code stickers (white) are now replaced with bar codes printed directly onto the box bottom of the boxes. This is very new packaging and you will see both old and new packaging for some time to come as it will take a while for all of the older products to make their way through the marketplace.
Some of the newer fake items are so close to the authentic packaging, it is almost impossible to tell them apart, but an experienced, seasoned MAC user will know the difference in quality of the shadows and pigments as they are inferior to MAC's formula. Fake MAC colors also tend to be off a bit.
Buy from people you trust and have bought from before. If something is too good to be true, it is. Stay way from anything that is advertised as MAC but does not have a color name. Some fakes on Ebay and elsewhere are advertised with numbers only. MAC has names for every product they sell and code numbers printed at least on the product. Some of the special edition boxes do not have code numbers printed on the boxes.
Use common sense. Always ask questions. Check feedback.
That's it for now.
