Thanks Teresita, hope you feel better too, If the MAC Pro in SF has been taking preorders since 12/30 though, I'm sure they're sold out of what I want but I'll call... right now I'm on the line with the consumer number but the auto voice told me it will take prob 10 minutes for an answer... really? 10 minutes? you guys couldn't just make a list of 22 stores & post them? how long should that really take?
yep, they have already been sold out of a lot :(

Thank you so much lilithsnake!! I know, right? This list has been known for awhile now I'm sure. Why so secretive, MAC??

I just got the shipping notice e-mails for 2 of my orders placed the other day (1 for this and 1 for Peacocky). I got second day delivery (should have just gotten overnight!) so they'll both be here tomorrow. I can't wait to hear what the overnight order recipients think of everything!

To those of you who may have missed out on things you wanted - I'm so sorry. Hopefully you'll be able to find a way to get your hands on them!

To those of you who are sick (seems like it's going around Specktra, lol) - feel better soon!

Got my stuff and I have played with it. I got Siahi f/l, Mehr lipstick, and Saffron eyeshadow.

Mehr: This one was a big question mark and I am glad I took a chance. This is a pretty rosey brown. I don't agree with Mac's description of a dirty pink at all, at least not on my pigmented lips. THis is not a nude, but a natural color. Days when I don't feel like wearing an obnoxious color lippie, I can reach for this and still keep from being boring. It's a think lipstick, but I don't mean it in a bad way. I don't find it especially creamy and it didn't glide across my lips. It feels like a Matte to me, but it doesn't look or feel dry. My only gripe with this is mine smells like a crayon. What the hell?

Siahi: Beautiful! Last minute purchase and glad I made it. I have the MUFE Aqua Eyes pencil. These 2 are the exact same color. What separates them is that the Aqua Eyes pencil is metallic and Siahi isn't. This is my first f/l and I love how smooth and creamy it is. I doubt I'll use it as a base because I bought it with the purpose of lining; that's just me, though. However, I suspect it will work well as both. It's a beautiful dark blue/teal.

Saffron: My favorite item of the three!I was totally going to skip this, but I'm glad I didn't. This really is an orange/coral. It's nothing like Texture, it's deeper than Orange and more vibrant than Rule. I prefer this one over all of those. It's just gorgeous and it will work wherever you decide to put this on the eye. It's buttery smooth and pigmented.

So it's been a 1/2hr since I got off the phone with the MAC rep who told me she would get a list in 5 minutes... so I don't think that's happening but I called my local store- Valley Fair mall in San Jose & they're doing holds- I got both the fluidlines & saffron e/s so if you're in the area & need something they're prob not sold out

Ah, please let me know what you think of Sur (did you get Mehr). Mine will not be here until TUESDAY!!!!

Did anyone buy Flesh lipglass? I kept debating it. I wanted it b/c it seemed to match Siss perfectly, but I worried about the streakiness of it.
I bought Flesh lipglass, I ordered standard shipping so its not here yet, but I'm hoping it will help me like Siss. I still haven't figured out the right combo to wear siss, it always looks like I'm wearing concealer. Not pretty

I have noticed that a lot of the MAC items in that rosy brown color in lipstick or gloss - smells like crayon. I am convinced that it has something to do with what is used to make that specific color range.

Awesome that you like what you got. I am so nervous that my order won't be here until tuesday. Not sure I'll do a Pro order again. well, at least I got what I wanted though.

Sooooo tempted to get Siahi f/l but I have Penned f/l from Pattermmaker... Siahi's just a lighter version, yah? Maybe I can layer Ivy over Penned...if i get Ivy!
I have always wanted Penned and wish they would bring it back, just one good time.

I called yesterday and she told me all my stuff was shipped, so hopefully it will be waiting at home today. I can't wait to wear Siahi with a neutral eye to work.

Shontay, I am excited about Saffron from your description and Dillgaf for her comparisons to Red Brick.

Thanks! I hope things get straightened out but through all the stress I've lost 10 lbs in the last month or so, stomach's a mess and just feel like crap. If they do ship the Ivy then I guess it should be here by Friday.

So glad to see you here! Hope things will get better really soon!

My Mehr is backordered, too.

Speaking of Mehr, I got the backorder e-mail this morning. They say MAC is expecting to ship the item within two weeks. Really? I almost gave up. OK, if you say so, I'll wait.

Big thanks to The Shades of U for comparing Sur and Prim & Proper!

Now, I don't feel bad for skipping Sur.

I love Siss with 3N, but that's limited edition. Have you tried it with Moth to Flame Dazzleglass, Giza lipgloss by Nars or did you buy Ember Glow lipglass from the Spring Colour collection? I think one of those can help.

Face2Mac.. Saffron is not like red brick at all.. not even a dupe for it.

Red brick is a dark colour with def red tones in it.. this is the colour of dark amber with some orange like the colour of saffron.. but it is gorgeous.

enjoy!
