I'm pretty sure it was only for the Beauty with Benefits event, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong. The MAC pro long wear lip liners are some of my favorites!

That's exactly what I think.  Just like they have brands of shoes only shown for FFANY and brands that are shown only during Super Saturday.

@Wannabeincali, talk to me please about the MAC lipcolour QVC offered tonight during it's Beauty with Benefits show.

I was considering the OH Lady shade. Do you own this? Wondering if it's really dark. They never showed a swatch or a model of this color during the presentation. Jane just named off the colors. It was kind of a poor representation to introduce a brand new line to Q without showing how the colors look on.

Do MAC lipcolours have staying power? This seems to be a constant struggle I have with other brands. They don't last long on the lips. 

Thanks for any info you can pass along.

Hi @iTalia

I wish I could be of help, but I have not tried those lippies before. The only lippies I use from MAC are their regular lipsticks, and I used to use their lip glosses, but as I hate sticky lips, I no longer buy the glosses. I DO LOVE their lipsticks, though. LOVE! And those do have great staying power in the formulas I wear (satin, matte, frost, amplified cremes). I do NOT like their greasy formulas (lustres, glazes).. I just hate that slippery feel on my lips. Their lip pencils are the best (Urban Decays lip pencils are good, too).  

I wear primarily nude lips (very pale nudes) because I wear a very dramatic smokey eye. I love the look of brights and deep shades on others, but they are not good on me. I wish I could find a red or deep plum that I could rock, but......I would have to do a really natural eye look, and nope....that look does not suit me at all. :/

Yeah, I heard that ULTA was going to carry MAC, but I want that Easy Pay!

And I am sure ULTA will never include MAC in their 20% off sales....... If they did, I'd definitely buy from ULTA! I usuallly just buy from MAC online because I have made it to their VIP level (I forget what the level is called). At least I get free 2nd day ship from them.  I am hoping qvc offers easy pay on MAC!

Hi!
The draw for me is QVC's EASY PAY!  
MAC on Easy Pay?? WOOOT! I would be buying up a storm!
I usually wait until when MAC has their sale....which is rare. But then I buy like crazy. I have spent $300++++ easy on just lipstick, and shadow. Add in blush, bronzer, and foundation? ugh....hubby goes crazy over the bill. :.  BUT....it is ....MAC! lol 

I have been on a makeup and fragrance No Buy for 2 mos now. :/  BUT If qvc offers it on easy pay, I'm IN! lol

@iTalia Temptalia usually has swatches of Mac makeup, so I always check there.

If I just put in a shade name, her site is usually one of the first ones to come up.

@Lipstickdiva and @wvumountiefan

oh gosh nooooooo! I hope you are both wrong. I did not know qvc had one time brand events. bah!  

Well, I hope they DO keep MAC on as a regular brand. It is at least something NEW!
I love Mally, but I haven't loved the products I have tried.
I also love Josie M., and I DO really like her argan oil cosmetics!

I adore Bareminerals. It is the ONLY foundation I had used consistently for over 15 years, but when they were bought out, I did not like the newer products (every new fdtn I tried was a bust on my dry normal skin). I adore their original loose foundation and their loose blush, allover face colors, bronzers, and eyeshadows --- but the loose powder products seem to now be a forgotten category in BE now. As a result, I now switch between Bareminerals original fdtn, JM's, MAC, MUFE, and CatCosmetics. Bareminerals just is not as great for me across the board, as they once were. I wish they would expand their loose powder segment, as that is what they were known for.

I think Urban Decay would also be a good, exciting NEW makeup brand for QVC! 
And I WISH they would get CatCosmetics on qvc! That is THE most under-rated makeup brand ever. So sad, too, because her makeup is AMAZINGLY beautiful! The colors in her eyeshadows, blush. lippies, and bronzers just light up my complexion. LOVE. And her Skin Double foundation is my favorite non powder foundation ever! It looks so natural, yet wears like iron.
