MAC - Wonder Woman Discussion

[bis]

Katred, thanks dor posting the picture, Spitfire looks amazing on you :drools: There goes me skipping WW, I will definitely get Spitfire. It looks like a deeper Mehr. Just hope it works for me atm. Sorry to hear that so many had problems with missing packages and broken products. It wouldn't be so bad if they made enough of it in the first place. Keeping my fingers crossed you all get what you ordered.

Not listening, not listening... *sticks fingers in ears and closes eyes*

Just some random thoughts..

Maybe Her Greyness can address this..are the blushes a new formulation of some sort? Seems they are very "delicate" almost like mineralize products. While I didn't have the unfortunate experience some did with crumbling both of my blushes arrived with (very minor) cracking in them. And I heard of a counter who received only 6 of the AP blushes and 4 of those broke in shipment.

I got my Pink Power this week. Still unsure on whether I will keep it. It seems that for $35 though they could have put a mirror in the compact.

Elegant, you will love AP if it arrives in one piece. I don't have Band of Roses to compare it to but based on pictures I would say it is in the same family but different enough to justify buying. I don't normally wear pink on my face due to rosacea but this is a wonderful blush. Just use a light hand because it is very pigmented.

yes, I do have his personal cell #

but he wasn't working this week - which is obvious. We have the # of our local UPS office. Its such a small town that they know who we are. But I did also call the 800 number which knew next to nothing

go figure

Hey my fedex package arrived beautifully today - the Chantecaille 'love' gloss' which is pretty, very light & not terribly unique but it is a pretty pink

Yes, I would like to know that same info on the formulation of the blushes too.

I am so excited to read that about AP - please please please may it come in one piece.

So what do you think of PP?

Thank you to everyone who responded to my blush post

I called customer service, but all they could do is give me a refund on the blush. It's sad hearing a product to be so fragile, especially when it's LE.
Hopefully I can find the blush in a mac store. Hope no one else receives one broken

Uh, I don't know if I would believe that - unless - they depleted the quantities. The second cs person told me that too - that they could only refund me. Well, I said put a manager on the phone - & that story changed.

Call the 800 cs service number & ask for Michelle ext. 205 & talk to her. Apparently she is the only one with the authority right now to approve a reshipment of the WW. It won't hurt to try.

 

[RedVelvetX]

Thank you so much Elegant! She doesn't work on the weekends, but i'll definitely try calling her monday.

 

[Shypo]

My order is supposed to arrive Tuesday, and given that I'm in the North Pole and weather has delayed EVERYTHING, who knows when it will arrive, or if it will arrive undamaged. The cold weather I'm sure doesn't help.

My Nordie's hasn't received the MSFs or the blushes yet - can't figure out what's up with that. Hoping they get everything and I can get what I want by the time it launches in-store.

Did anyone get Golden Lariat to use as a bronzer?

That super sucks. And please do as Elegant suggested. I would call back a few times and if that didn't work. I would tell them they needed to track one down for me and waive the shipping. This is their fault and they should make it right.

I can't believe this sh*t. I guess its been a while since I had to contact them because I always got top notch cs that acted quickly.

 

[marajode]

Elegant, sooo glad they are sending you a new one.
Elegant and peachsuns, was this the story of UPS dude using her bathroom? (LOL, I just remembered that story, and it's making me crack up!!!!!

)

Redvelvet (dang you make me hungry every time I see you post!), I hate to hear the same happened to your blush. That really stinks!!!

Katred, Spitfire really looks gawgus on you!

luvlydee, it looks beautiful on you! (silly girl for thinking otherwise

)



I refuse to get stressed. If I keep telling myself this, I might believe myself.
Both packages.....Both.
Spitfire, Athenas Kisses (and Style Curve) ...package number 1
and MA and Heroine (and Mating Call) .... package number 2

BOTH of those puppies have entered UPS no man's land, of having no activity since the Feb 1.
nothing. They didn't know where they were as of yesterday.
I expect delays and all with the weather we are having, but I sure wish UPS had a clue where they were sitting, hanging out, lonely and scared, and quite possibly BREAKING

(oh, the horror. deep breaths!!!)

Where's my Valium I.V when I need it??????

 

[marajode]

Dangit, I keep forgetting things I wanted to reply about:



Elegant. The fact that you have your UPS guy's cell number???

Words can't express how cool I think that is.

 

[RedVelvetX]

^That's where I got my username from, from my favorite cupcakes, red velvet

Now I actually want some lol..

I hope you get both of your packages monday. Another thing I miss about summer no delay on packages because of snow! lol

Adding my two cents on this collection. I was underwhelmed as a whole and did not go near any of the eye products (esp after hauling every Peacocky shade). I did order 3 glosses: Emancipation, Wonder Woman and Athena's Kiss, Heroine lipstick and Mighty Aphrodite Blush.

I think the lipglasses are lovely--you DO have to slowly draw them out to avoid splattering but as long as I do draw out the wand carefully, I don't have any issues. Emancipation is a great shimmery pale pink-peach--a great nude and I bought a back-up of this one actually. Wonder Woman is a nice red gloss--I like it as someone who can't wear red lipstick, this gives me a nice sheer shimmery red option. Athena's Kiss is a great med. lilac-magenta-purple... I think it is a bit "creamier" and a bit lighter than Magnetique.

Heroine lipstick is pretty--a nice, deep shimmery brown-bronze. I wouldn't say it was a must-have but it is a pretty deep brown with shimmer. Mighty Aphrodite is a pretty peachy blush--I use the strip of darker rose pink as a contour and sweep the peach over the apples. I don't think this is a must-have either--easily dupable between a rose blush and peach, of which there are many.

All in all, I like Emancipation a lot. I'm keeping everything but Emancipation is my fave. If you want a nice nude that isn't too pink or orange or pale/pastey and you can be patient with the wand, this is a great option.

I know right - they USED to have really great CS - but I think MAC is going through some changes or something. She ain't what she used to be

Although I am hoping this is temporary

...crazy - right! He just gave it to me one day out of the blue because I wanted to get a package early, so he says here...you can just call me. He just an all around nice guy - bald, but nice. I'm just hoping that he hasn't left ups.

My Nordie's counter hasn't gotten them yet either! They have everything else ready to pre-order. They must think I'm insane because I've called 3 different times and left my name and number with three different people!

once again for any UK people that may not have heard this yet but Selfridges will be stocking this collection from 17/2/11- so they get it 2 weeks before the mac site will so be alert!

 

[ohsewdizzy]

i get mine monday!! i have to travel 2 hrs to go get it but with all the shipping and broken mu i am seeing i am making the trip! i am still very excited about the collection!

 

[Ashleybubbles83]

i got my red makeup bag and themyscira opulash today!!

i cant wait for the rest of my WW goodies to come so i can fill the bag up...you know how when you get something new you don't want any of your old stuff touching it, or is that just me...haha

i forgot about how big the brush is on the opulash mascara and how small my eyelashes are so that's going to take some work applying but i have time to learn!
