I was going to suggest depotting it as well. I know a lot of companies will not replace products due to melting while in transit...it sucks but I guess they can't really control what happens to it after it leaves them. Especially for LE items where there are such limited quantities.
I'm playing the devil's advocate here, but I certainly agree that a company can't control heat/melting in transit nor should they be held responsible (under normal circumstances). We all know where we live and what we can order safely. I do stay away from ordering cream products during the summer months as even in the best circumstances, 110 F will affect the products. If I really want the product, I get it shipped to friends who live in a different location where the weather is not that extreme. I don't think we can blame MAC for melted products. After all, we all know that it just takes a few minutes in a heated car for a lippie before it starts melting. While it is certainly annoying that this happens, it is up to the consumer to use their common sense.

I agree. Although it is a shitty feeling to get a melted lippie I'm 100% sure it didn't leave MAC already melted. I did a charge send from CA to FL and it arrived slightly melted but I didn't complain. It traveled cross country in the summer.. I sort of expected it but took a gamble anyways.

I got Moth Brown Monday. I tried it yesterday. I love the color so much! It's a perfect crease color for my pink natural look.

However, after a few hours I applied MB, my eyes got irritated and puffy. It's not too bad now, but having sensitive eyes is no fun. I will try MB again to see if it's the cause of my puffy eyes. I'll probably try it on my day off.

Can anyone post the swatches of CYY and OCC Lip Tars Nylon pretty please?

rimmel rossetto from kate moss collection, katricia lip tar, and pageant lip tar

Can anyone tell me if these are anywhere close to heroine? lol I'm having fun trying to recreate it.
The top lip is Katricia isn't it? It looks like it. I've always wanted that one. I know a lot of people talk about Hoochie a lot but I've always liked Katricia.

I think the middle one is closet to Heroine. But that lipstick looks different on different people. On me it closely resembles the middle color yet not quite. The top picture looks more like Go For It lipstick.

Totally understandable and I told MAC that if they HADN'T told me they could have reshipped, I would have just repurchased them during the restocks, but since they assured me over and over again that I would get them, I missed out on the restocks.

Oh yes, I totally agree on that part. Big MAC fail!

Got my notification early this morning. Here is Xsparkage's lip tar swatch post: [=http://www.xsparkage.com/?p=1372][/]. There are a few of these that were LE or discontinued, but most of these are available at www.occmakeup.com, with a few being currently out of stock.

Like others mentioned, I was trying to figure out $34 worth of stuff to add to my cart to get free shipping. I eventually came to my senses and paid the $6 for shipping instead. It almost felt unnatural to have to pay for shipping. I wish Sephora offered free shipping at the $25 level.
Haha!!! I know!!! I think they are being cheap about shipping!

Hey guys! I caved and ordered Nylon last night too with that stupid $6 shipping. That felt criminal! I haven't checked to see if they sent a shipping update or not though. I entered the code for the free IPhone case, even though I don't have an IPhone (LOL), just so I wouldn't feel so robbed on the shipping. I had an uber-crappy day yesterday so I figured I deserved a late night neon pink pick-me-up to show up in the mailbox. As for MB, yesterday I wore it in the crease with the coppery shade from Sigma's Dare palette on the lid and lower lash line. I took a pic of me wearing MB in the crease with Patina (lid), Texture (transition), Hocus Pocus (outer v) and Naked Lunch (browbone) on Monday. I'll try to post the look in the next few days.
