MAC for Marilyn

Girls in Boston, how long does it take for your package to arrive by standard shipping? I have to instruct my husband to be on the lookout!: sigh:
When I order Monday, I usually get my package by Thursday or Friday. If I order Thursday or Friday, it usually takes a full week.

Just to let you know, not sure if it's still the case, but when I saw sold out on all of the items I was interested in on both the US and Canada sites, I called the Canada customer service line (I ALWAYS have luck with them) and sure enough they had everything still in stock. That was around 10 am EST so i'm not sure of the availability as of now. But i'd give them a call. HTH
Nope. Virtually everything (the good stuff, those items in the special packaging) was sold out on the Canadian site a few hours ago. The only items left now are the two Dazzlegalsses, the light silver eye shadow, and the 5 nail colours. That's it.

I was on line here at 9:30am EST, and both blushes, the Beauty Powder, "Preferred Blonde" eye shadow, & all four of the red lipsticks were sold out at that time.

So not thrilled about having to take my chances at the store next week. It's bad enough that us Canadians get ripped the hell off on the prices of everything, but we only have MAC On-line, MAC stores, and The Bay counters to get our stuff from, whereas you lucky folks in the U.S. have half a dozen different department stores to try your luck at in addition to MAC stores/on-line.

I'm in Minnesota, but this is usually true for me as well. Sometimes if I'm lucky I can get a Tues package on Thurs.

Actually, correction to my post above - four of the nail polishes are left. Just noticed that "Vintage Vamp" is now sold out along with all the other items I listed.

Hope your haul went well. I did not buy a lipstick this time around as I just upgraded my phone today. Galaxy S3! For once, MAC did not ate my wallet.


I know this is way off topic, but I'm interested in the same phone. I just came from Sprint and Verizon inquiring about their prices and plans. I'm with TMobile right now and way overdue for an upgrade. TMobile wants way too much for this phone. How do you like it so far?

can't wait til the swatches roll in... as for now... I have to get back to work.. I feel so bad for htose that stayed up and couldn't get what they wanted. WHen I order from Nordies, I am going to see if I can get extra.
Same here. I am not saying I'm going to stalk the Nordies site (even if I was willing to lose sleep over this collection, I have other plans for my weekend), but if I am able to place an order, I'll try to get what I can.

I think chinablaq is specifically referring to placing a phone order with Canadian customer service. Not ordering from the Canadian website. It's my understanding that phone orders have a different inventory than what's available on the website.

Crazy. I was up at 4-5am PT and I refreshed the page those few times I checked and I didn't see anything. I should have had two browsers open or checked individual categories.

So looks like I am going to have to hit up Pro stores and Macy's in my area to see who has it on the 4th.

Last time I went after a collection (the one with the blushes: love joy, modern manderin), I went to a MAC pro store and the sales rep said everything was sold out on that day. I believe it was the 2nd day it was out. Then all the reps laughed and admitted they kept most of the items for themselves. They were being friendly so I faked a little laugh. Then one told me she'd sell me her blush since it looked like I wanted it more.

Are they really allowed to do this and keep most of the items? Should I had reported it? I'm not stopping at that Pro store if they're going to keep most of the Marilyn items anyway.

Wow, the locusts, uh, stalkers, uh, MACaholics, uh, fans of Marilyn sure descended in quite a rush! I'm on the West Coast and by the time i saw the e-mail from MAC saying it was up, nearly everything was already sold out! I can't imagine MAC won't restock everything. All i want is one eye shadow. Pout.

I woke up at 7.00am by the time I dressed the kids for school,around 7.20am west coast time found all lippies sold so when did this actually come up and I wonder how many spectras actually scored the lippies from this launch?
I am on the west coast and just happened to wake up at 5:30 and checked. Love goddess was already gone. I had also checked the site at 3:30 am, and nothing. So it went up around 4-5am west coast.

Wow this thread is crazy long....I woke up at 530am and checked my phone...saw it was online and got my dazzleglass Phiff and beauty powder. I am excited though it will take a week because I didn't order overnight or 2 day. I hope nothing happens to my order

All I want is love godess. I hate going to Mac counters next to me.i tried that a couple of times and always sold out of items I want. My guess Mac will restock but mac did not restock the first time CYY was out maybe because they were going to have it in an upcoming collection. If I get it I get it if I don't I know Mac will come with similar colors or repromote the same. They have been doing a lot of that lately.

*facepalm* Is it really? I like how I called that Pro Store I just mentioned yesterday, and they said absolutely nothing about today.
Thank you for this info! I'm still new at this MAC item hunting. lol
