I. Am dyingggggg Omg I wish it would pull red it would be my HG dream color and I'd stalk a restock
Yes, it does indeed seem that way lol. I know there are many people who love to collect lipsticks and try vibrant colors and that's cool. I just ask myself if I will ever wear the color outside of the house and I usually put my wallet away lol. I'm way too chicken. Bold, bright shades would just end up at the back of the drawer for me!
I admire the fearless ones though!!

I just received my MAC order today! I was worried my lippies would melt in the DC heat but alas, all was well! Pic shows me wearing Moxie paired with Nyx lip pencil in "Red Hot." Love this shade and I cannot wait to see how CYY looks tomorrow!

I've been reading some of the stories on LJ about people getting sent the wrong lipsticks, how they aren't gonna restock, etc and I feel horrible for the people that have to go through that stuff.
MAC knew that with so many votes, demand was gonna be SUPER high so I still think they could have had TONS of stock and TONS extra to make sure they were gonna meet the demand. Now, you have 373984329874 listings on Ebay selling one lipstick for $100. Like, really? If MAC would have done enough stock so that everyone could have gotten some, the evilbayers probably wouldn't be making nearly as much money. Notice that most of the Ebay auctions say "Sold Out" ... just another reason for people to bid and spend crazy amounts of money. This whole thing has been a mess. Smh.

CCY is my fav lipstick. I wear it everyday. I've been through 2 tubes since quite cute (I bought 3) & I'm down 2 my last, so I bought 2 more. I looooove pink lippies so I bought 2 moxies as well. I hope it's not red lookin on me. I don't care for red lipstick on me

Wow, I haven't heard about people getting the wrong lipsticks! I'll be sad if I don't get my hands on Candy Yum Yum, even though I have dupes from Milani and Maybelline. I do wish they had extra stock, though I'm pretty sure they do and the "sold out" thing is just a way to get people to purchase the not sold out items. I've been pretty loyal to MAC since 2007, but I wish they would change some of their business practices. They knew that CYY would be popular. I guarantee they have interns going through Livejournal, Ebay, and Specktra to see what's popular and coveted.

1994 in a tube is a great way to describe Rocker. That's one of the reasons I am so excited to get it. I never got the original, sadly, just fell in love with the swatches. I love vampy reds, the new matte formula, and the fact that this particular beauty has a bit of multicolored glitter, which IMO adds the absolutely perfect edge and makes it truly stand out from the sea of vampy reds. It makes me nostalgic for that era of the 90s that conjures up visions of Seattle, long hair, fishnets, combat boots..
My box should be arriving tomorrow--just got one each of Moxie, Candy Yum-Yum, and Rocker.

idk, I'm not sure if I can really be mad at MAC, based on the reasons duckrodeo listed (and my own limited experience working with a small manufacturing company). I also agree that even if they had produced a bajillion CYY, there still wouldn't be enough units for sale due to the LE status of the product.

Yep. A girl on LJ ordered one of each lipstick and instead of getting a CYY, she ended up with 2 Rockers and a Moxie. MAC won't even do anything but refund her money because they don't have any more CYY. That's horrible. Another reason why they should have had extra stock to cover things like that. They need to listen to the complaints and resolve the issues.

Maybe if word gets out this cyy isn't the same no one will buy the ones on eBay. Hahhahaaaa not gonna happen.

Another reason why they should make it permanant. That "LE" mess is just insane. Especially for an extremely popular product.
Hi Ladies, I'm new here and thought I'd give this thread a shot at seeing if ANYONE possibly got an extra CYY that they'd be willing to sell at or near retail value? I missed the release and the restock and couldn't be more bummed.. I've been wanting CYY since the original release.

Hey, everyone! I'm a long-time lurker too, so yay for first posts!
I'm sorry to hear about the issues with shipping for everyone... I managed to grab a Candy Yum-Yum and was kind of kicking myself for missing out on Moxie, but after seeing how red it pulled, I don't feel as bad. I can't pull off red lipstick to save my life! Hahah.
Does anyone have swatches of Bait at all...? I keep finding myself back at the MAC homepage trying to debate on whether or not I absolutely NEED it... but I'm feeling like I might!
