seriously, reading the replies here, I don't know why some counters allowed to take pre order , some don't. all i wanted is just the beauty powder and a lipstick  I kind of believed the manager (south center nordstorm) I talked to have been giving me lame excuses.  Actually , I placed the pre order 3 weeks ahead (was there today in the center, just checking about the status, whether they have started on holding), was informed that order cancelled. !@!@#@@#$$$%$, she blamed that on the staff , who wasn't a regular staff and blah, blah, blah.She said it was a company policy, no pre order was allowed for this collection (who is also the same person who told me they only took pre order for certain period and stopped).  So, it is alright to let people who placed pre order (within the right time) to get their order, while me if I did not follow up today, I probably would only be in great shock in the release day that my pre order placed 3 weeks ago is invalid and no products placed on hold for me.  silly, the way this manager handling issue and her "customer service' is quite a disappointment; if not because of bad feeling for the 'new" staff who placed the order for me, i would have blown up, right on the face of this manager. poor management, you are not making customer feel satisfied about the result, but feeling lousy management.

I'd have had upper management there in a jiffy, helping me to understand how my money was taken, but no product given, and why I didn't need to call coporate. On a personal note, I'm sorry this happened to you.

glam : yup, according to that manager, it would be cancelled, where the blames were put on - the staff who wasn't a regular staff (whom I felt sorry for, main reason i was holding my flame); with the hint that pre order was only allowed short period of time (this is new to me, is it true if you have to do pre order, you have to do it within time frame allowed????)

They have not charged me yet. I probably still have time/chance to get what I want (cross finger) , but had missed mac online order since i thought I was "safe' with my pre order. Only thing I can be thankful for is to know it today, and not the release day i go to pick up "order" and then only realize mine one is cancelled, my flame would be greater if this is the case, knowing it last minute. Probably , there would be nothing left, lol.


But thank you (glam and C2) for listening to my rant and sorry for the rant.....i have been keeping it for the sake of the staff. It appears to me the manger is "blaming" her and policy, instead of rectifying the issue.

Hahahaha, I didn't think about the mis-readings, too. I promise it's nothing dirty! My best friend growing up sang a song in her girl scout troop about a Duck Rodeo - I got the biggest kick out of it, imaging little ducks waddling around with saddles lol so it spawned the handle.

I'm not sure which I get a bigger kick out of: imagining little ducks waddling around with saddles, or imagining little...well...you see where I'm going with this...waddling around with saddles...

I don't know where exactly in the Bay Area you live, but I presaled with Macy's Union Square in San Francisco on Wednesday and they still had a good supply left. Also, Nordstrom Stonestown said they would hold an item if you called them on Oct 4th right when they open! Good luck

I live near San Jose so SF is too far for me but thank you anyways...I am going into Nordstrom to order a couple of items and I will see if I could call on Thursday if they would put LG on hold for me. I hope I hit it when Marilyn shows up online

Here's a look I did on my boyfriends cousin for her homecoming today. I used How to Marry on the lid with Showgirl on the outer and part of the crease.. then I smoked it out with Blackout from the Naked 2 palette. I also used Forever Marilyn as a highlight. Not the best picture.

That is terrible! I had a bad experience when I preordered Stereo Rose and showed up to pick it up and it got sold during their event that weekend. Ever since then I am leery to preorder through them. It was such a disappointment but I ended up getting one from Macys on Tennessee because some lovely person here mentioned they had them still. I love Spectra!

Do we have a verdict on the Forever Marilyn BP yet on super pale NC15ish girls like myself yet? I'm currently still on the fence and feel like I could be wasting my money and would rather know before I (hopefully) get the chance to order when the UK finally releases the damn collection online. <-- can you tell I'm running out of patience?

To be honest I'm still not understanding though what the hell I'd do with a BP. Can someone explain? It'd be my first and someone explained it elsewhere on the forum and I've lost it so can't find it to reference back. I feel like such a MAC newb all over again.

i'm not sure i'm the best placed to explain, because i only own one beauty powder (alpha girl), but i think you can use it as you wish....since it's a light colour, on many people it'd be best as a highlight, but on others it could work as an all over setting powder. (the latter is how i use alpha girl) i think in general these powders are very finely milled, so their finish is different from a blot powder or something.

The BP is awesome. I used it today. You can use it all over or as a highlighter...it basically just looks glowy... I love it. I want more.

Well, I guess it would be best to always place couple of orders (just in case, to be on "safe' side)? Probably can start stalking their site and do on line order. Hope all you will get what you want.
This is really stressful, hopefully i won't be dissapointed by the products after all this stress. I would be content if can just get 1 lipstick and 1 beauty powder
i don't mind getting from ebay if no other choice and they are close to what i pay to retailer (plus tax , shipping, I suppose they have to pay fees as well), but 3 or 4 lipsticks for $150 is depressing to look at, I won't give a 2nd thought.

I like spectra as they are sharing info, swatches , advice that have been great help for us, : )

have a great weekend , everyone.
