MAC for Marilyn

[pleasantmacabre]

Oh, I meant it's only $2/week per package once the packages are delivered to them. It's a weekly storage fee. So if you had something delivered there on the 1st you'd have until the 8th to pick it up for only $2 (under 20 lbs) otherwise on the 9th you're going into the 2nd week and it would cost $4. Does that make sense? The only other fee you pay is the registration fee which is $10/year.

They also do package forwarding for $2.50 - $5 + the actual cost of shipping. It's called Blaine Mail Boxes Plus btw

ohh i see. yeah that's cool the one i heard about is different then..someone just said there was one across from the other place that was like 2$ a package.
but that's in Sumas not Blaine. i'm closer to sumas

Can someone please PM me the number of a MAC taking preorders

I never order from them anymore personally.  Once they sent me the wrong item and they ship in thin plastic bag things.  Or at least they did last time I checked.  Like not even bubble mailers.  So many a time I would get things that were damaged in some way.  I would think that for lippies it might not be a big deal but anything that is more fragile might get damaged.

Yeah, they did screw me one time. But I still order from them last resort. They sent me the wrong quad, on the order it even listed the one I wanted. I told them and they insisted they sent me the right one. I was pissed, but they weren't budging so I just let it go.

Yeah unbelievable. I think they do get a lot of stock. After JFK had been out a week I called about one of the blushes and they had 20 left.

Sorry Heavenly Creatures...JFK collection?

Maybe Jackie Kennedy collection.

My Macy's order shipped!!! And I will have all my stuff I got from the MAC online launch on Thursday. I'm relieved that I'll be getting all my "must haves" but now kinda nervous about them arriving in one piece after reading the horror stories on here lol. I had ordered an extra LG from Nordstrom's in case something happened with my Macy's order so I may have that for a CP if that order goes through (still waiting on confirmation/shipping notification).

That is hilarious! I have done that before and only when I got home I realized that everyone walking behind me knew my shirt size!! It was the kind of shirt that has the printing instead of the tag

This has been a crazy mac year with apfel, by request and MM

lol i swear i'm losing it, those type of crazy hyped up lines make you do crazy things, the funy thing is my shirt says raiders and has the raiders symbol and when i read it in the mirror it said it the right way but if you look at me it's totally backwards, i can''t believe i went to nordstroms like that lmao at least i was in and out but i probably got funny looks so embarrassing

snap out of it jess!!!

got my items at least so now i can be back to normal

I really like all the looks she does. I subscribed to her blog and youtube channel but she doesn't make videos very often

 

[hwdsprincess]

Yup! Me too. The morning of the launch on MAC he was like you seem stressed. WELL DUH!!!! This year with MAC makes me think I need to make a shirt to wear to be that says "Will $*c# for MAC". Especially this collection.

lol i'm with you, funny they know us so well, the loving part of having them understand and just say ok just get your stuff...

The only lipstick I got from Marilyn was Scarlet Ibis, and I love it to bits. I have prefer orangey reds rather than Red Reds if u girls know what i mean. here's a pic of me wearing Scarlet Ibis and TPC and Legendary blush (I mixed Legendary with The Perfect cheek coz I last minute decided TPC alone was too pink for this look) Sorry for poor resolution. pic taken using hp camera

P/S I find that although Scarlet Ibis is a matte, somehow it goes on more smoothly on my lips than Candy Yum Yum and Russian red which are more drying on me. Weird...

 

[TXBeautyBaby]

Just wanted to let everyone know that if you haven't already tried pre ordering from a nordstrom mac counter that you should definitely try. I had heard so many stories of "no pre orders for the Marilyn collection!" that I didn't even bother calling my counter. I called today and she said it was no problem. She even took my payment over the phone and offered to ship it or let me pick it up. Of course I wont be completely comfortable until its in my hands, but at least its giving it a shot, and the fact that she took my payment is a good sign.

I just want to say I truly love and appreciate Specktra!!! And I want to thank erinmichelle87 helping me out I am getting DA and LG shipped to me on Thursday!!!!

Oh I noticed on temptalia, the scarlet ibis is really orange, but other photos it is orangish-red.. I so hope its not pure orange.
