MAC - Wonder Woman Discussion

I have to admit that I have been too excited for this collection. I loved watching the Wonder Woman TV show when I was younger. Add that to the fact that MAC February collections are my favorite every year! I wish they would have done a red lipstick that was not something already available but all-in-all, I love the collection and the packaging.

It never falls that the one Monday, when I'm too busy at work to check Spectra, the collection goes up early. I didn't even know it was online until I saw the email from last night, this morning. I hope I get what I want. I ordered:

Spitfire
Wonder Woman
Athena's Kisses
Mighty Aphrodite
Amazon Princess
Invincible Mirror

I plan to go back for:

Golden Lariat
Valiant

I can't wait until I get my goodies!!

Wait, Wait!

When was this collex supposed to be released?

I'm booked for a WW event next week but when I stumbled on this thread last night and saw that it had launched on-line I went ahead and ordered the Golden Lariat msf.

The one blush looks like Band of roses, as people have already noted, so I passed on that one.

Does the other blush look like Ripe Peach which I missed?

If it does I will go back and place an order.

N.

its set up for Feb 10 in stores and counters. That is the same day the NARS boutique in NYC is opening. How 'bout that!

Temptalia said Ripe Peach was orangier. MA is more coral. I say this one is in the same family, but better. It even has a little sheen to it

I believe Band of Roses is at my CCO. I may get it. I am not a huge fan of mineralize blushes, but I may give it a go at the CCO price.

I love the energy of a thread when a collection launches! I was so glad I checked last night so I could put in my order. Reason number 1254815 I love my Blackberry.

Why do I keep looking at it online? I got the two blushes I wanted so I should just let it go. I keep looking at the glosses as I'm a gloss hoarder so it feels so wrong to not get a gloss with WW. I keep telling myself I need to see them in person, but something about seeing it online causes my heart to race.

But $20 for a lipglass? I need to tread lightly as I really only like to drop that kind of money for NARS gloss.

I panicked when I saw my order was lacking in the Athena's kisses lipgloss--not sure how that happened and that is the one thing I really wanted and fear will sell out soon. (although not as soon as I thought it would!). So I made a second order with Athena's kisses, Heroine and Emancipation gloss. And I had to get the blue mascara.


Also, you ladies have not steered me wrong before so I skipped the quads because of the poor color payoff. I hope I don't regret it, because I have been lusting after Real Drama e/s for a while, but I am overflowing in pink and purple e/s & $40 is too much to pay for a quad that is described as chalky. So, hopefully that won't be a regret and I can get it at a CCO later if I waffle back into wanting it. I love the green quad, but you ladies are smart to suggest it would be better to buy individual e/s in greens and get what I really want, because the quad is really only 2 truly green shades. I love the blue quad, but I am not buying it for 2 shades, I can dupe I guess, and I just don't wear blue enough to care if I can't dupe the grays. Plus, putting Deep Truth in it was a skanky move. Again, maybe I can score later at a CCO or get it used for less cash down the road when someone tires of it.

So I got a Golden Lariat instead of a quad. If its too dark, I am sure I can swap that sucker no problem and I did not want it to sell out before I could eyeball it. I skipped on Amazon Princess since I have too many pink blushers.

I actually think Emancipation and Wonderwoman lippies will sell out first, because they are the most traditional lip colors. Then I think the blushers and MSF will go next. I think RR lipstick will sell out, but no biggie since it can be bought anytime.

Of course I predict the pigments and glitters will sell out but I can live without them.

I am surprised the bags have not sold out yet, maybe because the sneaky stealth debut.

So, all in all, in 2 separate panicky orders, I hauled

Athena's Kisses, Emancipation and WW lipglosses
Heroine, Marquise D, and Spitfire l/s
Golden Lariat and Pink Power face thingies
Mighty Aphrodite blusher
Army of Amazons, Themyscira, (I can't spell it--the blue one!) and Victorious mascaras
Red WW makeup bag

I am so broke now. If I had more money, I would have gotten everything. I liked the collection that much. Probably more than Hello Kitty.

I spent way more than I intended, but its okay because it was worth it to me and I will probably not need anything from up and coming collections until Surf Baby. It was worth taking money from savings for me, because I love the theme, the colors and even the tacky packaging.

Oy vey. And once again a bad-weather-induced migraine sends me to bed in the early evening and screws me out of being up & in the loop when something suddenly unexpectedly goes live..... **gggrrrrrr** (I swear it's all a conspiracy!)

So, after seeing this news here a few minutes ago and then immediately jumping on the MAC website frantically looking for the items I'm most interested in, those which I know from past experience shall be highly coveted and sold-the-fuck-out-fast - and I see absolutely NO sign of the much ballyhoo'd T-Shirt nor the sooper-sekret tote bag o' awesomeness.

WTF?!?

I haven't seen anyone - American or Canadian - mention seeing these on the site and/or buying one, so it looks like they're just not there. Question is though, *WILL* they be at some point? Will one or the other or both suddenly show up totally unannounced and without warning, catching everyone who wants one off guard and screwing us once again? Or will they just never show up at all, having been nothing more than an evil rumour designed to get us all pantietwisted?

So. Thoughts, anyone?

I just did the live chat. Jara told me both tote and t-shirt will be online exclusive. She recommended me to check the site early next week.

She also told me that the collection will be available at the stores this Thursday! I cannot wait to see them IRL!

Well this is good to know. I was going to stop by MAC today, but I'll just hold out. Gas prices are too high to make that drive twice in a short period. This should also help me not to place a second order and then regret it!

I ordered the eye brush set, the mirror, and marquise'd. The rest I have pre-ordered with Nordies. I was informed they wouldn't be getting the brushes and possibly the mirror (not sure why on that one), So I took no chances and ordered them right away. Thank baby jesus that our computer came back to life today! (we went 2 days without it! It was awful! lol)

Where is the t-shirt at though??

The mirror, tote, and tee are online only. The tote is suppose to be super cute but around $49, so I'll skip.

Sigh. I'm so frustrated with this early release online. I won't have money until tomorrow and was really banking on a Monday or Tuesday release next week. Looks like I'll just have to cut things off my list if they sellout.

I didn't think I was going to get a thing from this collection, but since I had other staples in my online MAC shopping bag (i.e. blot powder) - I ended up ordering Mighty Aphrodite blush and Pink Power MSF. Nothing else really appealed to me.

Hmmm.... on second thought, maybe I'll see this as a sign from the makeup gods that I'm not meant to get what I was planning to get from this collection. Maybe I'll just pick up a lipgloss or two and save for Quite Cute instead

MACs homepage now has the WW animation...you can move your cursor around to geek out! and there's triumphant music. I really wish they had of done the comic art on the actual product...even my boyfriend likes it!
