I hope you can get your lipsticks! Do you plan to get the beauty powder as well? If so let me know how you like it.

Oh I'll hunt them down somewhere :) No, I passed on the BP. Hope I don't regret it, but I wasn't that impressed.

No - the overnight does NOT get first dibs on product it is who placed the order first. I have confirmed this a few times through MAC CS. HTH
Thank you so much for clearing this up!

I guess after seeing all the disappointment and scarcity I am feeling like my order is too good to be true!! I keep checking my email ... eeeek!

I kinda hate those people that buy loads of items to scalp at a heightened price on Ebay .. :(

I guess if u miss out on a collection, u could always relie on your fellow speckterettes in Europe. Then again MAC is more expensive here and shipping costs might get high depending on how much you want but at least it is better than evilbay. The collection releases the 6th over here.

Actually we should start a group and help eachother with products that are hard to find where you live or are already sold out. That would be soooo handy!

So there are 3 eyeshadows, 2 dazzleglasses and 4 nail polishes left from this collection ... 9 out of 19 items (MM exclusive)... Wow. Edit: make that 2 eyeshadows now.... Only 8 unique items left.

omg, thanks! I didn't see that post. Oct.2....Nordies....let the stalking commence! lol!
Hi, I was the one who spoke to live chat. But I honestly believe that (if this collection doesn't launch today) it will launch on October 1st at midnight. So I might check around then, just to be sure!

This is really ridiculous for everything to be sold out already. I was sound asleep while all of this was going down. Sorry for those who missed out and hopefully, you'll be able to buy in store. I have good news for some of you because I've tried my products. For girls my complexion or darker, don't bother tracking down the BP. If you're my complexion, it's just OK. If you're darker than me, it will be ashy. I can easily see that. Unless you really want to pay that $$ for the compact, just let it go. As for Legendary blush, meh. Nothing special at all on my complexion and on darker women, I suspect it'll look washed out. If you're fair, do what you need to do to get these two items because they're made for you. The face items in this collection are not brown girl approved (not by this brown girl anyway). So meh, meh, meh. I will say scratch, claw and do whatever you need to do to get those lipsticks, though. I really do think I'll go next Thursday as soon as my store opens to get another Love Goddess.

If I call Nordstrom's and let's say they will hold an order for me..

Then lets say it goes online somewhere else today and I get it... Can I cancel the Nordstroms in store pre-order?

Well, assigned release dates for YR and By Request, and for the most part stuck with them. MM was the first collection in recent memory that MAC assigned a specific online launch date and I applaud them for sticking with it! MAC needs to continue this in the future, so that people don't feel like they need to stalk the website for days/nights on end (just the night before

)! I hope that this sets a precedent for how MAC handles online releases.

For everyone who missed out this morning, don't lose hope! There's always the in store launch, plus all the various department store websites! I'm sorry for all those who wasted sleep on this collection, I truly hope that everyone gets what they want. BUT, in the off chance you miss out on something, please don't stress out! I know you're disappointed, but please remember that while we're all here for the same reason (hello, we're makeup addicts!), no lipstick, blush, eyeshadow etc is worth the physical stress you're putting on your bodies (i.e. lost sleep

). Plus, there are always newer, greater things on the horizon!


This is also a reminder of how important it is to develop good relationships with the MUA at your local store/counter (if you have one within reasonable driving distance). Sometimes, they say you can't pre-order, but if you've already established a good relationship with someone there, the odds of being able to put things aside are much higher!!!

When the muppets got excited or really happy cus something was so full of awesome they would wiggle their arms in the air and jump around shouting YaY. My daughter does it when she talks alot so that is how I think of that excitement. You look so great I am excited I ordered some {despite thinking to pass on this one} Here is a short 3 sec clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv4KQbDaCfM

I do really appreciate your light of reason. Ya, being tired is making this seem harder. Honestly it's just freaking makeup lol. I have Rocker so don't need DA or anything like that. I'm not gonna swear off of MAC or anything like that. I enjoy it too much to do that lol. But, I need to focus more on the fun of it so I can enjoy it more. Plus, I have a small but decent collection (small by specktra standards lol) and need to use it more anyway. I guess I just feel like I wasted all that time and now feel stupid lol. I'll likely get VG1 at some point plus the money goes to charity. If I could get to my local pro store this collection releases there tomorrow but to drive 30 minutes to maybe get the 1 lippie I want seems like a lot of work and I don't wanna drag my daughter around for nothing too lol. Thank you again for your voice of reason. I love specktra but am not thrilled with this collection anymore. Any consolation is that MAC lost any money I was gonna throw at them for this collection. If anything I'll buy it from Nordies if I catch the release. I wonder tho if MAC makes less profit that way not that I want to rip them off but they gave me no choice.

Well, I have Super relationships with any of the stores that I shop at, but the problem is that the stores themselves have given warnings to the workers about No holds. They fear losing their jobs.

Wowwww seriously??? These people just ruin it for everyone. I also find it a little shady that first they say "four fabulous lipsticks", then later it says "this trio", and after THAT it says "Both lipsticks..." Ummm so if you pay this insane price that they're asking, do you get 4 lipsticks, 3, or 2? Maybe it's just someone who typed without thinking, but Idk...something's not right, IMHO!

I think I am legit coming down with a cold or something now from all the sleepless nights this week!

I don't do well well constant loss of sleep... I tend to get sick... Not to mention I suffer from chronic neck pain due to neck herniations and lower back pain...

And just out of college and can't find a job and find it hard to do things cause the pain goes down my left leg and arm...

THIS IS WHAT I DID FOR WHAT LIPSTICK? I must be half insane... I just really wanted "Deeply Adored" "Love Goddess" ... For the colors, not for the packaging or Monroe... Cause we all know Ms. Monroe wore at least 3 to 4 different colors of red on her lips to get them the way she wanted...

Something tells me I need Beet lip liner.. And not from MM collection. Not paying extra for a piece of cardboard.
