    Default MAC Bible

    O.K. since i'm a total idiot for putting on make-up i got the MAC Bible from ebay stupid me didn't check the seller's profile till after i paid for it and they have reallly bad feedback. So anyway i havent' received it yet dont' know if i'm going to, but has anybody heard of it? or read it before? would it be worth it to be buy it from another ebay seller with better feedback? or just search the internet for another make-up bible. Any one know of any?? that one looked pretty good. What should i do?? I rarely buy anythign on ebay i think i've bought like 3 things in my life from there.

    Well they have 30 days from the end of the auction to get it to you. If it's been over 30 days then contact eBay. I assume that you have proof of payment? You might have to contact eBay and send that to them, and they will usually sent you your money back.

    If you used Paypal to pay them, you have some protection with them. If you used a credit card, contact your company, most likely they will reverse the charges. Ebay is a pain in the ass to deal with to get your money back, and the auction total has to be over 25.00 for Ebay to even consider it. Wait your 30 days, save every single email from your seller, and all proof of payment. I just dealt with ebay to get back my money from a christmastime auction, if I can be of help, let me know. But, DO NOT let this seller get one over on you!!

    I paid with paypal but have never heard from the seller i have never gotten even one email from them, but its still hasn't been thirty days so i guess i'll just wait and see what happens, but after what i read and the fact that the seller has never contacted me i don't have a good feeling about this. I already feel ripped off. SO ill see what happens.

    If you haven't heard from them yet, send them an email and tell them you've already paid and you were wondering how long it will be till they ship it to you. If they don't respond within 2 days, file a complaint with eBay about it.

    Ebay will usually act like a ombudsman on the matter. You can ususally also have PayPal stop[ the payment if you don't hear from them.

    You will also need to report that seller as a "non-performing seller".

    Next time...check the feedback. If it's bad...don't even look at their items.

    My roommate got the MAC bible for '04 and she said that there was nothing impressive in it. The little bit I read was alot on sales tips for the store and the make up tips were pretty straigh forward. Nothing amazing or new. I personally would rather have Kevin Aucoins (sp?) book "Making Faces". I've heard that is fabulous.

    Kevin Aucoin was an amazing makeup artist, his books are awesome. A good book to get would be Don't Go To the Cosmetics Counter Without Me by Paula Begouin.

    There is a makeup application book at The Body Shop which I perused. It looked badass.

    I really am a complete beginner to make-up i know nothing about applying make-up i own very little and its always the same one. You said there was nothing impressive about the mac bible. Maybe you and your friend read things you already knew? but what about me? Do you think it would not help me either? I'll look up the other suggested books though THANKS EVERYONE!!!!

    Kevin Aucoin's MAking Faces rocks. It is as simple to follow as a recepie book, and a lot of fun to look at the pictures.

    You might check out a few makeup books at the library to see if any of them are really useful before you buy. that is what I did.

    i have the '04 mac bible and really its not that great. they give u pretty much half the kevin aucoin book, literally like his book is in teh bible as an "extra" or whatever. other than that they give u info on the tools, what its used for etc but nothing interesting/great.. i only paid 5 bucks for it but i was still disappointed. i think the best way to learn is just to try stuff u see in magazines and practice. thats how i learned anyway..
