MAC for Marilyn

[LoveSpree]

You should do a live chat at Nordie's. I was told mine will be shipped shortly and that they did fulfill my order.

Yeah they told me that too but I'm not sure if I believe it ...

It's funny you ask that, hwdprincess, because I ended up picking it up at Macy's even though my original plan was not to have it or pick it up in the regular collection. I was afraid I'd have some kind of skipper's remorse so I figured why not complete my collection. So yes, Macy's had it. Mine shipped today all by its lonesome. My DA and CIS shipped in a separate package. Weird.

That's exactly why I wanted it cuz I'd probably regret not getting it, I'm probably going 10am to Macy's just for that and hopefully I'm lucky to get it to complete my lipstick set

Mine says 10/1/2012 4:15:08 PM Pacific so I think yours will be going out soon! Mine shipped about an hour ago.

According to the email Nordies sent me, my order was placed 10/1/2012 3:39:40 PM Pacific... and it still says it's processing.

Mine too... I ordered at 3:50:15 but I am pretty sure I will get my order because I trust in Nordstrom lol

Also I want PZ now lol hopefully it will be at the counter

Just seen this on Twitter from TiffanyD: Soooo excited about my MAC Marilyn Monroe goodies!!! Blog post coming very soon do you guys want to see a first impressions video??

Little bit late for that considering other than Dillards in the US the collection is sold out everywhere.

I have to admit I really hate it when people get items sent to them on YouTube and they wait until the collection is released/sold out before they do their video on their opinion etc. What good is it to anyone when they can't get their hands on it? Especially when the whole point of them getting things from companies is generally to advertise it. :/

This is my first time ordering from Nordstrom, so I guess I'll just have to trust in your faith in Nordies!

As for PZ, if you're in it for the color and not necessarily the packaging, it's a permanent color at MAC, so I doubt you'll have trouble getting it if you don't need the Marilyn packaging!

I spoke with this really nice lady this morning from Nordstrom and she said she'd bend over backwards basically to help me get the last few items I wanted. So hopefully all goes well, if not then I'm still taking my chances at the counter Thurs. So I have two more chances. I really think after Thursday these items will be impossible to find unless you want to pay ricdiculous amounts for it on Ebay and I just can't see myself paying more than 20 for a lipstick. No bueno.

 

[shontay07108]

There's no way I'd ever pay $20 for a Mac lipstick. No, no, no. :nono:

 

[pleasantmacabre]

The worse part is they are 20$ in Canada ;( And the usa and Canadian dollars are not even far off

Yeah, whats the point, if its all sold out. I also dislike when people add favorite limited edition items of the month videos, the whole point of me watching that sort of video is because maybe I can go and buy it and like as much as they do. I try to avoid big beauty youtubers, because most of the time its for getting views and free stuff.

:eyelove: Aggh Gorgeous! Are those your eyelashes? If so, I'm jealous :sigh: If not, I need those. You should give yourself the beauty mole too

They are kind of my real lashes! I use careprost so they doubled in length. You too could achieve them!

I really hope everyone has gotten what they wanted from this collection so far.

It's a shame that there was such a craze over such limited quantities - the eBay scalpers bug me in particular. Here's hoping that if folks here get their items and decide something's not working for them, that they consider selling or trading with another Specktrette who totally missed out. I know I was a little on the fence about CIS and I'll definitely get it out there for someone, if I decide it's just not for me.

One other upbeat thing I can say: The past few years, there's been a post-Christmas collection with lots of bright lippies, so here's hoping that'll be happening again and either some of these will be brought back or there will be new ones! We should be hearing about new collections and color stories after this week!!! MAC does so well with all their lipsticks, I'm sure there will be more beautiful reds and pinks and vampy darks on the horizon!

I think the color is very pretty so If I can't get the MM tube I will buy it anyways but I want to complete the set!

I was able to get Pure Zen from a local counter near me! I can pick it up tomorrow. Everywhere else I tried before said no preorders, so I assumed the same thing for this extremely popular counter and never bothered to call them. I decided to go ahead and give it a shot figuring a had nothing to lose. I called earlier today and was shocked that they had Pure Zen in stock, and that they let me preorder it. I'm immediately reminded of the old ass-u-me saying.

I got my two packages today from MAC!! I am waiting for Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's to ship my order now.

 

[champagneshadow]

I did a Live Chat and was told,  "Your order is processing yet in our warehouse. Once it ships out you will receive an e-mail confirmation update."

The first person I chatted with said same thing when I asked when they would be shipped. I asked second person if I would be getting my order at all and that's when I got tracking #. It shows shipped on website now too.

There's no way I'd ever pay $20 for a Mac lipstick. No, no, no.

I know! Not even for my beloved Lollipop Loving (they need to repromote this one because I am afraid to use mine)

For Chanel, Dior, Guerlain I don't mind shelling out but MAC is not worth more than it costs and if they keep hiking the price up I will buy much less from them once they start crossing into NARS territory

 

[martiangurll]

So, its a given all the lippies sold out super fast and anyone who didn't stalk, pre-order, or sell their soul to a kind SA to hold product for them was probably left in the lurch. Is anyone loving their powder products?

I have a BP, a blush, and 2 e/s on the way...

If you decide your CIS is not for you I'd be willing to take it off your hands.

I'd love to get my hands on Lollipop Loving!
