MAC for Marilyn

[CartoonChic]

You know when Nordstrom put MM online they didn't appear to have the entire collection. Is it possible that MAC limits/restricts what they give to other MAC distributors?

I think they did launch the entire collection online, except for Pure Zen and the MAC exclusive nail polish. It just sold out super fast. I think they removed the items that are no longer available from their website.

My store had a security guard. At 9:50 most items were sold out. The manager said they only got 2 of each item. Did I mention the Dillard's store had a SECURITY GUARD lol. That is just mind boggling to me.

Since I couldn't make it to the store myself this morning, I asked my daughter to go for me. She went to a Macy's near her. The store opens at 10am and she got there at 9:58am. I was on the phone with her the whole time. The first doors she tried were locked, so she walked around to another set. She went inside and the lights were just turning on. Then the phone signal went out! I was freaking out! I didn't even tell her what to get yet. I kept calling her and it would go to voicemail. I sent her a text message of what to get, but no response. That was the most excruciating 15 minutes. She then called me back to let me know she got the items. I got a Beauty Powder and another Love Goddess, and of course a Love Goddess for my baby girl. My original plan was to swatch the Beauty Powder for myself before buying, but I took the plunge and got it since it's so difficult to get. I'll swatch it later this evening when I go to pick up my Pure Zen preorder from Nordstrom. I'm pretty sure the Beauty Powder will be gone by the time I get there.

My daughter is NOT a makeup addict. She said there were two people in front of her in line and a couple of other ladies swatching things. Novices. I was able to tell her to go straight in line and not to look at anything before the phone signal was lost. She said there was a really long line behind her. She's never seen anything like it. She started to imitate a really rude woman who was saying "I want aaallll the lipsticks." She cracks me up non-stop! She was happy with Love Goddess, but I don't think she gets the magnitude of it. I told her that if she wanted anything else, that she should go back into the store and get it now. She was content with just the lipstick.

Her birthday is Oct 12th. I'm getting her a Clarisonic for her birthday, but now I need to get her something extra too.

CartoonChic,

I agree!

My mom had the opportunity to get DA & CIS lippies when my sister & I ordered via MAC website but she couldn't make up her mind.

She said to my sister, "Oh, I'll think about it & let you know later."

I love my mom dearly but she just doesn't get the LE factor either.

So that's why we've been stalking every site, etc. etc.

Now I can happily say I'm done with MM and MAC for the time being.

WHEW!

I have the sad feeling that once FM is gone, it is gone forever. There won't be any MM collection any time soon.

You never know, they might want to pay their respects to this guy

He is happy to be such a lucky boy! You're keeping him young right along with you! Keep us updated on your mom! Send her our well-wishes! Shontay... Good luck on those driving shenanigans girl! Most important thing... BE DEFENSIVE!!

The explanation for the need for a security guard probably went something like, "There's only 2 of each item, and these MAC b*tches be crazy. We need to be prepared."

i passed on MM for H&M's Anna dello Russo's collection. 500$ down the drain

[macgirl3121]

I got to my MAC store in Berkeley bout 9:15. About 8 ppl in front of me. Not too bad. Still 25 min til opening.

 

[bulbasaur359]

Wow, those who have scored from the collection, that is so cool. I wish I had some of the luck too lol. Any idea if MAC has restocked? Sorry if I missed the answer to that but have been bummed that I haven't scored anything so far so have been looking at other threads more. Thanks!

 

[Naughtyp]

Fuck! I'm in line and there's more ppl coming in I'm getting nervous!!!!!

 

[MissTT]

I just spoke to my Nordstrom SA and she said it was really hard to get the items. She said a lot of the stores only got two of everything.

 

[Naughtyp]
