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!
You are de-baiting! Lol...couldn't resist! Welcome!

Another reason why they should make it permanent. That "LE" mess is just insane. Especially for an extremely popular product.
Eh. I can only speak for myself (although I know that some other people agreed earlier in the thread), but I feel like there wouldn't be so much hype around some of these products if they WERE perm. They're really popular because they're LE. Not to say the color isn't gorgeous, but I know that a lot of people take perm items for granted. Can't say that they'd sell nearly as many CYY if it were perm b/c some people wouldn't be paying as much attention to it.

I'm kicking myself not ordering Moxie on Sunday night. I had it in my cart, the two day code was still valid, I knew deep down in my heart that I'd eventually cave and buy it..Why did I wait? Now I won't see it until next week. Boo. I'm feeling impatient. I hope it cools down by the time it gets here, so it's not all hot and sweaty in the box.

Mine will probably arrive around that time, too. So we can be excited about it together. Everyone will have moved on to the eyeshadow excitement and we'll still be talking about Moxie!

Aaah! I'd seen the Temptalia swatches but not the Muse's! Bait turned into a must have for me... I went ahead and placed my order.

That's totally true. IDK. It just seems like people are more mad then happy about it.

I wouldn't worry too much about that one ;) Stealing Temptalia's swatches + no feedback + high starting bid and no description of policies = an unlikely sale. I can't believe so many non-scalpers (I'm guessing, there seem to be a much higher number of listings this time) decided to scalp this time.

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.
Amen!! You've summed that up beautifully! Ive been holding on to my original tube for dear life and was scraping out of the tube. I'm so, so glad they brought it back!!

d'oh! i meant to quote Odelia:

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 generally wear either a lip balm/lip stain/sheer shimmer or something super neon bright (or blue or black or dramatic) with very little else and mascara.

I'm new so my posts are still being held, but I finally made up my mind and ordered Bait.

I loved the swatches and it just looks like the PERFECT pink for me!
