Absolutely, that and the change in formula could both have made a difference. I do needlework sometimes and if you don't buy enough of the same color thread, the next batch could look totally different. I always buy more than I need because of that.
I searched for CYY and looks like someone already had it duplicated. http://www.threecustom.com/custom_search.php?mode=search&type=10&brand=mac&shade=candy+yum+yum
I also read the "Important Note About Discontinued Shades" paragraph. That probably explains the slight color differences between the old and new CYY.

Since I'm a newbie when it comes to MAC online:

Do you ladies think they might restock CYY & Moxie today since the eyeshadows just released?
I want to know so I can start checking the site. I didn't order Moxie when I ordered CYY and when it restock for like 5 seconds lol I missed out on Moxie.

Just received the email...a whopping what 3hrs late! Are they improving the speediness of sending emails now?
I actually got the BR l/g email ~2 hours after it went live on the site, so the e/s email is technically later haha.

Edited b/c I got the BR email, I didn't go it hahaha. I am tirrrrrrrred

These e/s better be AMAZING b/c I am dragging today, haha. I couldn't fall asleep after I placed my order this morning (not sure if it was b/c I was excited or b/c I was used to the broken sleep due to checking the site every hour or so). By the time I started to doze off, it was time to wake up for work.

And I can't believe that eBay listing. Craaaaaaaaaaaazy.

They just sent it out on Pro too. It really makes you wonder why they don't link the email to the actual release time. It's a no brainer!

http://www.beautyandfashiontech.com/2012/08/mac-by-request-swatches-review-video.html Her picture and video confused me! I thought great MB on a tanned/darker skin tone in the light but I watched the video and was like ummm where is the tan at?! I am now rethinking Jete and MB look boring on her arm. No comment on Guac!
I actually watched part of that video the other day! I also was confused by her saying she was wearing Moxie...and couldn't finish the video when she pulled out LG wands to show color!

There's really no way of knowing. There's never much of a pattern to MAC's restocks. In the past few months, I've seen one at 12 PM EST and one at 3 PM EST. However, there was also one in the afternoon last week, so it might be worth checking a little around that time.

Is Lickable similar to CYY?
Whenever I visit MAC FB, I see they recommend it if someone ask whether they restock CYY.
I had Lickable in the past, but I don't think they're similar if I remember correctly.

You've just justified my need to get BUs even more.

I was watching a youtube review of the MUFE aqua pencils and the reviewer said that the gray pencil was the only Matte gray she was able to find so it is a must have......I thought I was done with my haul of those pencils

Nars has a matte gray pencil too... its one of the Larger Than Life ones.

Tanned lol NOT. Guac looks too pastel and chalky on her. I'm skipping the eyeshadows but that's because I have too many.
That's how my original Guacamole looked like: mega chalky! And I'm NW15-20, so usually even chalky e/s don't look chalky on me, but this one did indeed.


This time around, I am hoping for a very improved version of it! I didn't vote for it at all, so if I end up hating it (again!), I can only blame myself for buying it.

Thanks! I guess I will check online at random times.

why do people swatch on the back of their arm where all the arm hair is? that always puzzles me.... why not the inner arm?

I think I've decided to skip the eyeshadows. If the lippies I missed get restocked today I'll sneak the e/s in my cart, otherwise I'll be happy with my Rocker and lipglosses!

Honestly, I hardly ever reach for my mac palettes... It's mostly always UD anyways.

Agree! Everytime I see arm hair in one of my pictures, I start thinking about Nairing it all off...until I think of the maintenance that would require!

I don't swatch my inner arm because it is like 3 shades lighter than my face, chest, and everything else but my tail. So I am NW15 or so on my face, the inner arm is scary white and is not what the color would look like. Also, where I am so pale the veins are dark blue/purple and it looks weird and throws off colors even more. Zebra striped swatches are no bueno. That is just me though.

Hey now! The difference between the vid and that pic is practically night and day lol!

I actually watched part of that video the other day! I also was confused by her saying she was wearing Moxie...and couldn't finish the video when she pulled out LG wands to show color!
LOLI had to go back and watch it-she must have done a light swipe of Moxie it looked so neutral on her lips. Her video swatching skills seriously are lacking here! At first I skipped to see the arm swatch and thought woah what a difference.
