MAC for Marilyn

I remember the Venomous Villains rush all to well. I ordered within a few minutes of everything appearing on MAC UK website, only to later that night get an email to say they were out of stock of everything, so my order was cancelled :( It was 'in stock' when I placed my order and got my confirmation email! I was extremely lucky to find a counter in our county that had everything I wanted, and they allowed me to buy it from them over the phone, albeit with quite a hefty postal charge. Somehow that order got lost in the post (or in the postal department of the Department Store, maybe?). The lovely lady there managed to locate most of the items from other branches elsewhere and have them sent to me, all bar Bad Fairy nail polish, which I ended up having to buy on ebay.

Correction: now it is!
That IS bad. However, I called MAC Netherlands this afternoon to ask when exactly By Request and Marilyn will launch online and the answer was: we honestly do not know. Any day now I think...
Well that narrows it down...

I hope so! I did send her an email before she posted last week giving her the scoop on the collections. 
Oh, Kimibos & Richelle HI! I'm here ladies, doing a little check in & even when I'm not I am in spirit! Richelle, that update u gave me was flipping awesome, I hope I said thank you. Please forgive me if I did not. I'm reallllyyyy struggling right now and have been since I was discharged. There have been many minutes & hours & a day or two where I've just had to talk myself into suffering at home. I thought I'd be in the hospital for about 2-3 days & they'd take care of me & discharge me. No, this black cloud of doom decided it was going to hang on for 2 & 1/2 weeks, even the day they were going to d/c me I was still in questionable shape, but I was so over that place. DH stayed with me EVERY night, except for 1 when my mommy stayed with me. Nothing like a mom!!! Even when you're 'an adult'. Thanks for asking if I know what's going on here in RED LIPPIE HEAVEN! I'm trying to be good, but maybe 1 lipstick won't be unacceptable, right? I was so sad when I missed out on SI from IA but then again I've tried EVERY red orange and orange red and they don't work on me. For reference, SLV looked like I was an old lady trying to pull something off that I shouldn't. I felt kind of like Nancy Reagen, I mean they just put her in the most unflattering orangy lipsticks. So, SI is the 1 I have not tried, therefore, I'm really curious as to what it will look like on. My SA said that they only got 3 or 4 of most things & 2 weeks ago, everything was already spoken for at their store! They didn't get testers or a display!!! It's a good thing that I'm not working & totally broke...I'm just annoyed (like many have said as I've been reading older posts & looking at pictures & videos (thanks Richelle) because why does MAC have to play this game of we're only giving 3 to each counter, blah, blah...it is very annoying & in the past it has caused me to spend my money elsewhere because I want to have 50 different reds that I am in love with! TAKE NOTE MAC: UR LOSING REVUNUE & FANS BECAUSE OF THESE GAMES U PLAY WITH YOUR LOYALISTS...JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND. As for the Holidaze, I really can't go in that thread because I'm going to be so broke with all my medical bills & now my car. I can't even wrap my head around all that madness! OMG it looks amazing & one question tho, are the 2 small glass containers Fluidlines? If so, which ones? I was hoping for some PAINT POTS & then I could beg my parents or sis to get it for me for the holidays. [I miss you all sooo much/U] but I can't hang with the big dogs right now. I know I'm missing out on so much more than MU. I mentioned to Oh So Jaded that I was wondering how HONEYMILK WAS DOING WITH HER PREGNANCY, SO I LAUGHED WHEN I JUST SAW KIMIBOS ASK. HONEYMILK, IF U C THIS I'm so happy u r pregnancy is going & u r feeling well. I'm thrilled that u found a place! Also, I saw a while ago that Pixie Dancer got a new job, right? So, I hope she is doing wonderfully. I just truly hope that everyone is in their sweet spot, things are falling into place and that u & urs all are happy and healthy!!! I do hope that everyone that knows me & what happend saw my thank you in the Holidaze thread. I'm not going to get all mushy, because the last time it caused a 20 min, ugly cry with my MIL. Luckily, we were on the phone. But... The generosity and selflessness of people on here is amazing. I got CYY AND MOXIE AND I FREAKING LOVE THEM. I haven't been wearing MU but I have been wearing LS. There is just something so special about this community, that we do really care about each other & want the best for each other. I feel like we are here to lift each other up (as opposed to down, which is what so many people do. It's really sad, BUT) I don't get that type of vibe here and that is why so many of us love it and the friends we make are more than special... Big hugs to everyone that were incredibly kind with their emails checking in and my special lippies sent from some pretty special ladies!!! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER! Kimbos I totally heard you when u said "I don't feel well enough to GO to the store!" sucks, doesn't it? To make matters worse, since I've been so sick my car NEVER gets driven but I like having it work in case I need to go get meds or something. The pain in the butt aspect of what is my life is that there are NO PATTERNS to what I will feel like or what is going to trigger me getting sick. So, I guess it's here to teach me that I can't plan my moments & I've got to just take them as they come. So, now I'm exhausted & I'm going to lay down for a while. Just know that I may not be back on for a while but I hope everyone gets what they want & loves it. Take care, Spanky

for all those still stalking i just talked to Nordies again and they're still saying midnight tonight everything will go up..BUT the lady said corporate should be approving that this morning...so really there's a small chance it could go up earlier especially with all the crazy sales at other dept stores..
oh thank you for the heads up, ill try refreshing as often as possible..

Bloomingdales is sooooooo bad about canceling orders. I hate dealing with them. The bad bard is they don't even always tell you they're cancelling and they're inconsistent about it.

Macy's sold out all the l/s and blushes, but they have the BP left!

Bloomingdales still has Legendary, SI, and PZ. GO GO GO GO!

All these bad reviews about Bloomie's is making me real nervous, I've never ordered from them before! EEEK.

Sorry for the late reply, I've been working mad crazy hours the past few days. I got Charmed, I'm Sure (mostly for the packaging, tbh), Little Rock DG (Phiff was not blowing my mind like I'd expected), Showgirl, Silver Screen and Preferred Blonde e/s. Based on what I saw written here, I was prepared to be underwhelmed by the eye shadows but I swatched them with a 239 at the store and looked at them in natural sunlight. They were beautiful and in the sun, I could see the nuances of the shadows so I caved. The natural light that my Pro store gets is what sold me on Jaunty from HS. I have a collector's urge to get Scarlet Ibis even though I have dupes but after seeing swatches of Deeply Adored, I plan to get that from my girls at the regular MAC store this week. I have Rocker (and BUs because it's amazing on me) but I still think I need/want DA. The blushes were meh as was the beauty powder. I'm NC 45/50 for reference.

I think they lasted a bit longer than when they launched on MAC's website at least.

If you love Rocker, then I do recommend that you get Deeply Adored. The matte finish gives a different effect and it's a beautiful color.

Wow all the lipsticks are gone on Bloomingdales site. I just got home and I'm kinda bummed I missed the chance to get a LG backup. I've never had a problem with orders from Bloomingdales. :dunno: Well, I can wait until I go to the store Thursday and get one. Have to make sure I get there when the store opens, though.

The only time I've had something canceled from Bloomies was Bad Fairy, which was just impossible to get on any site really.

maybe I got lucky, I was able to snag a SI, Legendary, and Little Rock.

Trying to talk myself into only getting Love Goddess (if I can manage to get any at all that is).

I have my eye on Charmed and Scarlet Ibis too but I'm pretty sure it's just the impulse buyer/hoarder in me. Pink is my go to colour. I do wear reds but only occasionally, I wear pinks way more. I don't have a million lipsticks, but I do have Russian Red, Ruby Woo, Red Racer and Lady Danger and tbh I think they should cover all my red needs. If only I can tell myself that if I get the chance to put them in my cart

I just got a newsletter from MAC. It says that we can get free shipping on all purchases until the end of the year. No codes necessary!

Thank goodness! Awww.. SI is left, but I do remember you stating that LG was holy grail material though. I'm sorry! I'm glad you've never had a problem w/ Bloomies though! Thank you for the reassurance!!!! I still have hope!
I already have SI. Although I love it, I don't really feel the need to buy another. I really want another LG. :sigh:

I was thinking maybe I can swap it later for another MM lippy? I still have the one from IA as well so this was just a BU. It is also the only color I feel was truly hard to dupe...
